Here is what I think is happening. Google blocks certain third party tracking cookies by default in chrome. They said theyll make a list to distinguish between what they call good and bad cookies. Also they’ll add built in tracking for Google into chrome.

With chrome being the most used browser by far they can use that to sell white list slots on their list or access to the built in tracking. I assume that’s what they are after.

Per year or per month? I’m afraid to look.

It wasn’t. It is commercial use to train and sell a programm with it and that is regulated differently than private use. The data is still 1 to 1 part of the product. In fact this instance of chatGPT being able to output training data means the data is still there unchanged.

If training AI with text is made legally independent of the license of said text then by the same logic programming code and text can no longer be protected by it at all.

4chan was simply where everyone banned for extreme views everywhere else went because there were no rules or close to none.

Now as algorithms of social media sites have been chosen to dictate our daily news cycle, discussion topics and visibility of culture by engagement metrics alone, as are dominated by flashy, extremist content that appeals to our lowest instincts. Before humans curated content by trying to use human reasoning instead of relying on instinct alone. I think we have taken a step backwards in evolution culturally.

I wish there were actual consequences that matter for this type of appalling greedy behavior.

True but it helps get the concept across so much.

I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.

They are very mediocre looking.

Right? I love to craft things. But then what do I do with 35 mediocre looking leather pouches?

I don’t think this is likely unless if none is the most voted option none gets killed. But if one always gets killed then there will be lots of campaigning and manipulating for certain votes. And the past years have shown people will fall for it.

Vegeta! What does the chonk-o-meter say about its chonker level?

Crushed Walduts.

Walduts.

The classic “let’s use the worst option because the alternative isn’t perfect” fallacy.

EZ MOLLUSK IS EZ

South Park hit this nail on its head.

Having largely undisclosed and privately owned platforms and algorithms dictate and decide our cultural exchange, spread of news, topics of discourse and other societally important interactions is such a horrible idea. I wish this was more obvious to the public so governments would end this. It divides sociaties, poisons public discourse and skews it with racist biases and towards hatred.

Thanks for answering. That was after me first trying out Linux and before me returning to Linux.

That’s some bullshit but damn does the Linux community hold grudges like they always have.

Thanks for the reply! Amazon stuff? I’m so out of the loop it seems.

Hey I haven’t heard of this.

So this is mint based on Debian directly instead of ubuntu?

“I completely understand why someone doesn’t want to commute an hour and a half every day. Totally get it… Doesn’t mean they have to have a job here either.”

Then why hire people living 90 minutes away?

Sure limit yourself to workers living close by. But don’t give me any of that labor shortage bullshit then.
