I got auto-banned after commenting on a reddit post because the bot searched my entire post history and found I had commented on NSFW threads in the past! The extra fun part was that I really hadn’t. The NSFW threads were from subs that had turned that flag on for all posts out of protest for Reddit’s closed API debacle. In short, exactly as you describe. Intending to quash the revolution.

Fascinating proposal, professor. Thankfully I can adjust my equations quite easily:

2 ≥ 2

I don’t trust the liberal science agenda so I did my own research. Using some back-of-the-napkin math and my telescope, I’m now blind from looking at the sun through a telescope. This is being transcribed by my trad wife. My results:

2 > 1

This one checks out, folks.

Y’all are describing me with astounding accuracy, hah!

Moved from big city to small nearby city for the garden, work from home, no cable or fiber internet, so gotta rely on Starlon Lusk

Similar structure, yes, but this is the important part:

Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established

So, just like the Louvre museum in Paris and the Luxor casino in Las Vegas have similar structures, pointing this out doesn’t really contribute much to the discussion.

For all I know, OpenAI’s purpose is to create Skynet and kill all humans. But Proton’s is:

Our legally binding purpose is to further the advancement of privacy, freedom, and democracy around the world.

Things we’re never gonna do:

• give you up
• let you down
• run around and desert you
• make you cry
• say goodbye
• tell a lie and hurt you

What a time to be alive

I can’t watch. Plz

You ‘pute 64 bits, whaddya get?

Just ‘nother load for your instruction set

Satoshi don’t call me cuz I can’t go

I sold my soul to the crypto bros

Why is BREKING misspelled in the news ticker in the last panel?

Hilarious comic tho…

No, my sons are also named Borts.

Also the employees! Your employer and you split your taxes. If the company didn’t have to pay ~15%, they could theoretically increase your salary by that much. They wouldn’t, but they could.

A better example would have been patreon. I’ve never given money to an online content producer of any kind (except my monthly donation to Wikipedia), but if there’s one thing the internet is good at, it’s crowdfunding. Gofundme, patreon, onlyfans, twitch, kickstarter… it’s all the same.

Yeah, I’d assumed it would respect the —metric=false flag when building with docker run, but docker-compose is ostensibly supported and easier to work with. I was able to successfully change other configuration options (such as setting the db to use MySQL instead of the default SQLite) using the docker-compose ‘command’ block, but the metric flag specifically was ignored. It’s entirely possible that this is a bug and not an intentional attempt to hoover up user data. Either way, data collection should be opt-in by default (by law, imo).

I thought I’d give this a shot, but the metrics/data collection flag was turned on by default and when I added a command to my docker-compose to turn them off, it was ignored. Then, I created an account and looked for a way to turn them off in the settings and there was none. You expect people interested in self-hosting OSS to be cool with sending data out of their network every time the server is started, a memo is created, a comment is created, a webhook is dispatched, a resource or a user is created?! Also, the metrics are collected by a 3rd party with their own ToS that could change at any time?

Holy hell, hard pass. I’d rather use a piece of paper.

Y’all I’m sorry my lemmy client (Memmy for iOS) somehow let me downvote this twice(!!). Both accidentally. And I upvoted it but it didn’t cancel the downvotes!! I ruined chrimmus 😭
