So you spent 10 years on a personal song about your family dying around you, it’s very personal, heartfelt and could be extremely successful because it’s said in a way that people won’t at first understand. You play it for your friends and they absolutely love it and encourage you to put it out. You don’t want to because it hurts too much. So you think everyone else has the "right"s to that song because it’s hoarding if you don’t release it? Come on, you don’t own my thoughts and creations, it’s selfish, greedy and a little narcissistic.

All the examples you have brought forward apply to private individuals. This is about cooperations and companies. Those very different legal entities.

That is not what some people here are saying, they want everything put out for copyright to be public domain. What’s hilarious is, that’s exactly what the AI hoovers want, they want everything anyone else makes. Especially the unique and creative artists. So these people in this thread want the same thing as these huge corporations everyone here hates.

Says someone that has never made anything. Do you think art, music, etc. comes magically out of nowhere? I don’t really care to fight about what the original intent of copyright is, artists and every person should own their own bodies, likeness, voices and creative outputs.

So? If you spent years making a movie, don’t you think you should keep the rights for the movie for awhile? I have many friends that have careers with their style of art.

I’m not against piracy in general, you should absolutely go after the evil corporations. I’m saying that for the small time artist, they need protections.

Overhauling copyright is not the same as getting rid of copyright. How about those artists that make original art, graphic novels or movies, how are they supposed to sustain themselves? Are you saying that the copyright is held too long?

He tried to stop her, but couldn’t.

Do you think the corporations like my art and is it fair? Apparently it is if I run it through AI is what you’re saying.

Why do you think that the AI companies want to hoover up everyone’s art? Because it’s valuable or they wouldn’t take the risk of all of this backlash.

Meta has acknowledged using parts of the Books3 dataset but argued that its use of copyrighted works to train LLMs did not require “consent, credit, or compensation.” The company refutes claims of infringing the plaintiffs’ “alleged” copyrights, contending that any unauthorized copies of copyrighted works in Books3 should be considered fair use.

Furthermore, Meta is disputing the validity of maintaining the legal action as a Class Action lawsuit, refusing to provide any monetary “relief” to the suing authors or others involved in the Books3 controversy. The dataset, which includes copyrighted material sourced from the pirate site Bibliotik, was targeted in 2023 by the Danish anti-piracy group Rights Alliance, demanding that digital archiving of the Books3 dataset should be banned and is using DMCA notices to enforce those takedowns.

Yet they’ll spend waste billions on metaverse.

I didn’t know it was a poison, so smokers are slowly poisoning themselves? I thought it was bad for your lungs because of the smoke constantly being there, and that you had to smoke a lot to get it to be bad. TIL

Interesting, it probably is. They said it wasn’t found before the 1940’s as a phrase, but it could still be based on that. It’s not like people were talking about getting smoke blown up their ass in polite company.

We as a society have so many gut issues and I saw an international show talking about spraying poop as an enema to cure autoimmune diseases. This made me think of the phrase and if they were trying the same things in a weird way. Your link makes it sound true.

During the early 19th century the practice fell into decline, when it was discovered that the principal active agent in tobacco smoke, nicotine, is poisonous.

Is tobacco poisonous to blow smoke up one’s ass or in general?

Will? That’s an evil company, surely slightly evil targeted ads have been going on for awhile.

The moment they started collecting your bookmark history and hiding it really well is when I knew they were heading towards the dark side. I don’t think they’re they’re there yet, but I might be naive about it.

Noice. I hope meta doesn’t finagle their way out of it.

You don’t know what clean means when concerned with privacy and selling data?

Now do Firefox. It’s the best out there, but it’s not clean.

I’m not sure if you didn’t see his post by accident or he’s not on your instance, but /u/[email protected] posted receipts. The Life Magazine one is crazy.

Tsunami? What about the freakin QUAKE?!? It was a 9.2! Yeah, there was some water action after a 9.2.

What do you mean?

Ohio has been having some issues lately though.

Yikes

Meta’s lead for Threads, Adam Mosseri, was head of Facebook’s News Feed and Interfaces departments during that long, warning-heavy lead-up to the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar. After the worst of the violence was over, Mosseri noted on a podcast that he’d lost some sleep over it.

I agree that some of what Evan characterised as Small Fedi isn’t about small for small’s sake, it’s more about the view you describe – what L. Rhodes calls “networked communities”. Of course, the consequences of this result in slower growth than the Big Fedi view, so a smaller network in the short-to-medium term, so from his perspective I can see why I chose this framing.

I can see why he chose it, but I still don’t agree with it. It’s not a forgone conclusion that it will end up small if someone doesn’t federate with threads. It’s still growing slower, but it could hit huge now that all of the kinks are getting worked out. One more x fuck up and tweak to mastodon that makes it more user friendly, it could take off. I think people are okay with it taking off, just on fediverse terms, not evil company terms.
