Reddit protest plunges user engagement, site activity and ad portal visits
I still find astonishing that tech crunch buys the argument of ML model training.
No one in their sane mind would use the API (that have always been rate limited) for fetch data for text generation. People would use HTTP or, even better, archives of reddit.
Why? Because there is better or no rate limit, there is no need to write anything (only reading) and it will stay free 🙂 Also super fresh data is not dramatically useful (except in very specific corner cases when something in the news change the way we talk)

The problem is not the camera, the problem is that amazon is not doing much to preserve the privacy if its employees from these leaks

So what are some of your favorite communities to post / hang out in so far on lemmy?
I think so far Lemmy is small enough that i just set "all communities" and I find communities interesting (and less 🙂) and I subscribe to them

No, it's nuanced. People smuggling worked like this... They would call her (and/or other NGO) and say "we just dropped x people in the sea at these coordinated, bye!". She would go and pick them up (she would not make any money out of this).
What the xenophobic party that was (and kinda is) in power wanted is to her ignore the heads up and let people die in the sea. Because all that party promised to his (debatable) electors is more death in the sea (to scare the other migrants).
Also all this is polical because the vast majority of illegal immigration is through Balkans anyway

Do you realize that justifying current behavior with something happened more than 2 centuries ago it's just propaganda, right?

Social networks can keep storing EU user data in the US under new agreement
Reply in thread
I bet on 2 years 🙂 just the time to arrive to the European court of justice that will photocopy the last decision and replace the name 😂
This new "court" is a joke, Shrems already did an analysis few months ago (highly suggested read in noyb.eu)

What useful unknown website do you wish more people knew about?
https://www.erowid.org/ with plenty of resources for harm reduction. In case you or a loved one is a drug user, at least you can help them (or yourself) to not hurt them too much

Feds tell automakers not to comply with Mass. “right to repair” law
Reply in thread
This kind of laws create incentive to build. No for profit company invests money for losing control on their product in the repair chain

The way i see it, Twitter is just a PR stunt for Tesla. Now that there are better cars on the market, rational buyers will not buy Tesla any more.
He needs to shift to emotional buyers. The kind of.people that have a huge pickup even if they never use for what it is 🙂
