while this is welcoming news during this atrocious time of the zionist genocidal assault against Palestinians, I am curious of the details. Is this 1967 borders? What about the facts on the ground that zionism has created to make a two state model incapable?
Do we really want to normalize having a new Palestine state existing in a quasi-like existence next to this genocidal state? How far will that go? Will AOC and others say Palestine has the right to defend itself and arm it with iron dome?
Furthermore Israel should not be off the hook in the important work of dismantling colonial regimes.
The only possible way forward is to equalize existence for all peoples on the lands, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, or who they are. Ethno-nationalist state models like zionism deserve the trashbin of history and I dare any one upholding liberal values to defend an ethno-nationalist state now or in the future, but we all know they've done an trash job in the past.
Yeah, I can understand that, but all the while people & children continue to be slaughtered 🤷♂️ but don’t worry though, September is a good time I’m sure.

Capasa (Cnmi): “Sfruttamento nella moda? Fenomeno limitato"
Secondo Capasa, Presidente di Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, lo sfruttamento nella moda è un fenomeno limitato.
Ad ora sono stati indagati:
• Alviero Martini
• Armani operations
• Dior Manufactures
• Valentino Bags
• Loro Piana
Fenomeni isolati o sistema strutturale?
Si tratta davvero di fenomeni isolati? Oppure la moda è totalmente nella mani della finanza, dei grandi fondi - del lusso (LVMH, Kering, Richemont) e del fast fashion (Shein, Zara, H&M) - espressione del capitalismo puro?
Spazi di resistenza:
🔴 Slow fashion, piccoli brand indipendenti.
🔴 Comunità che rifiutano il consumismo (es. DIY, swap parties).
La domanda vera è:
Possiamo immaginare una moda davvero libera dal capitalismo? O è un’utopia?
Voi che ne pensate? Siete d'accordo con Capasa?

Question, basic: How to follow moving instances (topics)? And what happens to "old" instances?
Hello, dear "Lemmings" (correct address?)
As a quite new user to the Lemmy universe and the Fediverse concept, I have a basic question, which I could not get answered elsewhere:
If an instance (= a community / topic group, e. g. "memes","World news" or "MapPorn" in the example picture) is moving from one server to another (= the name and/or ending changes), how to properly follow the move? And what happens to the "old" instances, that are discontinued? Should I keep them following?
Best regards
If an instance (= a topic group, e. g. “memes”,“World news” or “MapPorn” in the example picture) is moving from one server to another (= the name and/or ending changes), how to properly follow the move?
You find out about it the way you did, then follow the new one. I don't think there's a mechanism to do that automatically.
And what happens to the “old” instances, that are discontinued? Should I keep the following?
In this particular case, you can see in the sidebar that the community is locked, i.e. there will not be any new posts, i.e. there is no point in keeping the subscription. It also doesn't hurt anything though.
CMA designates Google and Apple, proposes measures
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) proposed designating Apple and Google with "strategic market status" (SMS) for their mobile platforms, which control 90-100% of UK mobile devices1. The designation would allow the regulator to impose new rules addressing app store fees, review processes, and restrictions on digital wallets1.
The CMA published roadmaps outlining priority actions, including ensuring fair app store rankings, allowing users to be directed to external payment options, and enabling better interoperability between devices1. For Apple specifically, the regulator aims to address restrictions on digital wallets and connected devices like smartwatches2.
Both companies pushed back against the proposals. Apple warned the rules could "undermine privacy and security" and force it to "give away technology for free to foreign competitors"3. Google's competition director Oliver Bethell called the announcement "disappointing and unwarranted"3.
The CMA will make final decisions on the SMS designations by October 22, 2025, with initial interventions expected to begin in autumn 20251. More complex issues, like requiring Apple to allow alternative app stores, have been postponed for consideration until 20264.

Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global
Trump’s bitter dislike of renewable energy first erupted publicly 14 years ago in a seemingly trivial spat over wind turbines visible from his Scottish golf course. As Trump returns to Scotland this week, though, he is using the US presidency to squash clean power, with major ramifications for the climate crisis and America’s place in the world.Although Trump failed in his legal attempt to halt the Scottish wind farm, an enduring scorn towards renewables appears to have been seeded that now has global consequences.
As president, Trump has declared wind and solar projects unwelcome in the US, barring them from federal lands and signing a vast spending bill that demolishes support for a nascent industry that held the promise of revamping the American economy while cutting dangerous planet-heating pollution.

If journalists had balls, every interview with trump would turn into the rampart AMA.
"Yeah, that's cool, but let's return to talking about Epstein..."
It's so wild. I vacationed in Northern England, about an hour south of Scotland, in Tynemouth, and our whole family found the offshore turbines to be magical.
There's ruins of like a massive 4-6 story monastery from the 15th century, and it's wild because the remnants of the one wall are the tallest thing in town, and have been for centuries. There's literally paintings and drawings going back centuries showing it, and centuries and centuries of people living in the shadow of this partial massive monument that no longer exists.
It's super interesting, but there's also something kind of inherently scary and depressing about feeling like you're seeing ancient remnants of some massive great thing that can no longer be done.
But then at a foggy sunset we saw the off shore turbines and it was genuinely uplifting and magical in a solar punk way. Just the blades peaked out of the fog, and similar to the monastery ruins, they looked too big to be created by humans, but these were actually still working. It felt like it was providing a glimpse into our future massive endeavours, and was one of the most magical moments of the whole trip.

RipaMagic il 10 e 11 agosto 2025 con il mago umanitario Mattia Flip e grandi artisti della magia a a Ripatransone (AP)
Torna anche questo agosto il festival che regala due giorni magici nel bellissimo borgo marchigiano di Ripatransone con spettacoli di grandi artisti, laboratori, street food e visite guidate al Museo della Matemagica e alle sue incredibili illusioni ottiche.
Il cuore della nuova edizione di RipaMagic batte forte nel nome di Mattia Flip, al secolo Mattia Bidoli, mago, fotografo e operatore umanitario che da oltre quindici anni porta la magia nei luoghi più feriti del mondo: ospedali da campo, carceri, campi profughi, zone di guerra.
Oltre allo spettacolo che aprirà la prima giornata, Mattia sarà protagonista di un incontro pubblico in cui condividerà esperienze, immagini e storie dai conflitti in Siria, Libano, Iraq, Ucraina e nella Striscia di Gaza, dove ha trasformato le sue esibizioni in gesti di cura, resistenza e umanità.
Accanto a lui, un cast ricco di artisti italiani e internazionali: dal cubano Ernesto Planas Roldan - maestro mondiale della comedy magic, Luca D’Avvero – definito “giocoliere della magia” e “comico del pericolo”, Manuel Guarnori - specializzato in grandi effetti scenici; Tino Fimiani - già protagonista a Zelig Circus e in tournée con Arturo Brachetti - Madame Rebiné, Daigoro e Giacomo Seri.

A motor that runs at a constant speed all the time can last basically forever. Starting and stopping puts way more stress on the mechanical parts.
Same reason I hate how modern hard drive enclosures force the hard drive to shut down after a period of inactivity. With a lot of workloads it will keep spinning up, stopping, and spinning up again which is a great way to kill the motor.
This used to be the expectation for a new fan years ago... Now, we celebrate it?

- No More Forced Restarts: This is a huge relief for many!. Firefox on Linux no longer requires a forced restart after your package manager applies an update. This means smoother, uninterrupted browsing, even during system updates.
- Reduced Memory Usage: ForkServer leads to a significant reduction in memory consumption for content processes. The base resident memory for a content process is now around 50% lower. This helps Firefox run more efficiently, especially if you have many tabs open.
- Faster Process Startup: You'll notice that content process startup times are reduced by approximately 35%. This translates to snappier new tab openings and overall improved responsiveness.
Sounds actually too good to be true to me.

We don't notice technologies that quietly solve the problem they were intended to solve. I've never seen a rage post about light switches. Or wrenches. Or locks. Or pencils.
AI, and a lot of the technologies we complain about, are business models that prioritize value to the producer over value to the buyer or user. They aren't technology per se, so much as a shoddy product wrapped in unrealistic promises.

In any problem, every solution that works is a solution, but not every solution is of equal value.
In math we use the word "Elegant : Characterised by minimalism and intuitiveness while preserving exactness and precision. " To describe solutions that work well, are concise, and don't add pain.
Jigsaw puzzle analogy: If you have a puzzle with one piece missing, there are at least a hundred things you can use that will fill that space .. sawdust, sand, play-doh, cement, but the most elegant solution, is the puzzle piece made to go there.
With tech, its just more complex- we don't create solutions in a vacuum ( a world by themselves ), they have to exist and mesh with a preexisting world. We call those limits constraints. And the problem with tech is that often the people who create the technology ignore (don't care much about) the constraints.
Inventor: Can we do xyz with cameras?
Society: And not let them be used for evil?
Inventor: Not my problem.
Its easy to solve problems: the cat is sick. kill the cat.
people: No that's awful.
inventor: but it did solve the cat problem.
Solving problems in a way that meshes well with the world is not easy. And our inventors are at the moment, shortsighted and greedy.
Technology is developed by people to fulfill their goals, more interest - more power - more developed technology.
Hence big tech is where it is, and meshnets-p2p-cipherpunk is where it is.
Because every time you apply a solution, you increase the number of failure points.
Take something simple:
I want to walk to the mailbox and check my mail.
Well, I have medical conditions which put me at risk for foot injuries, where are my shoes?
Oh, and I need a key for the mailbox, better have that.
Feeling a little winded today because of the heart trouble, I should probably use the wheelchair for safety...
Which is still in the backseat of the car, so I need another key...
Hope it still has a charge on it, it should, but I didn't use it last...
Each solution is a failure point. The more solutions you add, the more failure points there are.
Not really, there's an OR logical element present in our world.
Divide et impera, applied to engineering. For 80% of things this fast cool solution works, for 20% the simpler one works. The aggregating element to make using both in their own situations transparent reduces reliability just a bit, but the efficiency gain is visible.
And the "80%" and "20%" solutions can further on too use such unifying elements to aggregate different solutions for them. To improve efficiency without additional failure points (except for aggregators).
Nobody does that because the "80% solution" producer wants to capture you, they don't want alternatives, they want power, and it's a honeypot.
It's up to you the customer to understand this. In the classical model. Also see customer associations, which are like unions inverted. Isn't it funny how we have big businesses organizing, but not labor and not customers? While for them it's much more important.
As you can see, the aggregator is very important here. We need standards, so that all social media would compete with other social media in one interoperable world with standardized interfaces, all search engines would compete with other search engines in one interoperable world with standardized interfaces, all file hostings ... you get the idea.
There's an idea in marketing that if you create a solution, you also need to create new problems that you can market. For example, you buy a printer to allow you to print at home but now you need to buy overpriced proprietary ink. Or maybe you buy a phone, but now what can we do to make sure you come back to buy a new phone in 2 years? Truly solving a problem sells something once and that will not satisfy the infinite growth mindset.
It's a concept up there with Edward Bernays work in popularizing applying propaganda techniques to modern advertising as the idea that may have done the most to really push capitalism to its worst possible end.
I don't think a socialist society without propaganda would be much better or worse than a capitalist society without propaganda.
The differences would be almost decorative, so the socialist variant can be represented as a market of ideas in many democratic organs, with those people more successful by accepted criteria getting more resources allocated to them "for merit".
Or the capitalist variant can be represented as a system of efficient resource distribution via accepted universal equivalent, with voluntary associations and public morale acting to help those in need.
Those would be both comprised of humans, so without propaganda you'd have normal human hierarchies, human inequality and the resistance to it, human groupings and human hostility, all the same.
Provided, of course, that both are democratic. Otherwise you'll have Stalin's time Soviet bosses with their palaces and lovers and cars, and you'll have Nazi Germany's industrialists, the former as accountable as the latter and the latter as much part of the state hierarchy as the former.

You made a very strong claim that she committed a sex crime. You imply her accusations are wrong and malicious. You jumped to that conclusion and took that as fact. And you didn't even bother to read what she did. You judged her without even caring about that.

It’s unlikely any of this will ever be profitable, the only one making profit from this right now is NVIDIA. Everyone else’s costs dwarf revenue, even just operational costs, not even counting capital expenditure to set this stuff up. None of these companies have a path to profitability, and most of the little revenue is coming from services burning investor money built upon other services that are also burning investor money, or temporary shenanigans like Microsoft trading OpenAI free compute time at their data centers in exchange for IP, or coreweave using their GPUs as collateral against loans to buy more GPUs that get collateralized in turn.
At best the deregulation makes things less unprofitable and drags the bubble out a little longer.
It's all smoke and mirrors.

I do think though that there should be some sort of basic test to prove that you actually understand the various policies an administration is pushing, not at a deep level but just the most basic surface level that you could get from a 10-minute Google search or by watching a single video. Just prove that you actually know what you're voting for because otherwise why even vote?
It can be censored for not giving sufficiently MAGAfied answers or acknowledging the existence of things fascists want memory-holed.

Well you'd have to strip out most of the history books then, oh and anything to do with social science, also get rid of all of the biology textbooks because they explain where babies come from and conservatives don't like that sort of thing.
Basically it's just going to be sports statistics and gun manuals. There probably isn't enough information in there to build an AI, as you need quite a broad base of input for it to work.

So unfortunately websites routinely and carelessly lie about basically everything related to data protection stuff. This already begins with the term "technically necessary cookies". No cookie is truly technically necessary. What they usually mean by that is "we really really want to put this tracking cookie from our ad partners like Google into your browser, and we don't care whether you want that or not so we just claim it's technically necessary". But even if you refuse a cookie prompt, often your choice isn't respected at all and cookies are created regardless. In fact, many cookies are already created at the very beginning before you make any choice in any sort of cookie banner. Basically this whole ad/tracking industry is a complete mess and no one really cares and it's just best to completely ignore what sites claim and use technical means to protect yourself at least a little bit because you cannot trust ANY site's claims regarding that. Most of the time, even the phrase "we value your privacy" is already the very first and biggest lie. Don't trust what websites claim. It's pointless, and nothing happens when they violate their own rules or data protection laws anyway. Which they do almost all of the time anyway. This illegality is routine and almost omni-present. Cookies are also far from the only thing that sites can use to track you. They're just the most well-known method, which is probably why we have these near-pointless laws requiring sites to put up near-pointless banners to annoy visitors with.
So as a user, you should just ignore any of that and completely rely on technical means to protect yourself from any or most kinds of shenanigans websites can do to you.
Most privacy-respecting browsers have features that limit what sites are able to do with you, such as cookie isolation which prevents other sites from being able to read the contents of cookies belonging to other sites. Or more general, isolation of any website data, not just limited to cookies. But not every browser has these types of protection. If you use very common browsers like Chrome, Edge or Opera, then it's likely that you have none of that because the developers of those browsers are companies which profit from the user being more easily trackable through the web.
So the easiest solution as a user is to use a privacy-respecting, well-pre-configured browser like Librewolf or Mullvad Browser, and use uBlock Origin as the only extension with several enabled filter lists. This alone makes you a much harder tracking target. And of course you can safely ignore or block any cookie notices, it doesn't really matter what you select in them most of the time anyway. Although your IP address is still always a liability with ANY browser, because it can be fairly easily linked to your person and you will expose your IP address with any regular browser, so if you want to browse anonymously you should use the Tor Browser (with mostly default settings and no additional extensions). That means that you won't have ad blocking protection, but at the same time the site and any ad servers don't know who you are anyway (you're just some random person from a random country for them), unless you make a mistake and log into a personally-identifiable account or so. The Tor Browser also contains the most amount of anti-tracking and anti-fingerprinting techniques possible. For casual anonymous browsing you should absolutely use the Tor Browser, because with it it's highly unlikely that a website is able to identify you. Its main disadvantages are that it's slower, some sites block that kind of browser, and since you shouldn't add any other extensions you will see ads with it, but your identity still remains protected unless you make a mistake. Still, it should be your go-to browser for anonymous browsing. Switch to your regular browser for when you want to log in to an account with personal details.
The easy way for iOS users (to which I count myself) is not to exchange Safari for worse like Big Data Chrome or Chinese Opera, but simply activate the Private Relay in the settings, so you are safer and more comfortable on the road.
It would be better to take another browser, even if they are all WebKit here at the moment.
My tip right now is to use Orion, for screwing, but also in the basic settings, with Kagi (if you are willing to pay for searches) or Startpage as a search engine. Or DuckDuckGo Browser as a no-brainer.
A chic VPN like the one from Proton or Nord and the party should be safe for now.

You can't defeat the fascist mental illness with logic. Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state. The only rule of law is whatever the dictator(s) believe protects their regimes/corporations profits.
In this case, Americas big tech — of which Trump recently merged some with the military — has determined copyright laws should not apply to them, and Trump is voicing their opinion (he doesn't know how anything works).

Not for textbooks...
Like, if your curious there's a bunch of info out there about why the situation is so fucked.
But in general they release new editions almost every year, with the same information just shuffled so page numbers are different. Even really petty stuff like keeping the same practice work, but changing the order of answers so you need the most updated book every year.

The cool professors used to make a "study guide" especially if it was their own book that they'd give out for free and told everyone to return the books
It's been a minute, so not sure if it's a thing still.
But yeah. Unregulated capitalism pretty much always ends this way.
You have to buy the book, so they pump out new editions constantly and charge insane prices. It's a captive market
My library, you have to check out books on reserve from the circulation desk. They're for in-library use only, 3 or 6 hours at a time, and if you take it into a study room and scan the whole thing with your phone we saw nothing.
We don't like the constant churn of textbooks, either. They eat into our budget. We really appreciate when a professor lends us their personal copies of a textbook for us to keep on reserve. We also try and steer instructions to Open Educational Resources (OER), which are available for free.
Wealth disparity sucks and shouldn't result in different access to education.
hope some dickhead didn’t just take it off the shelf and hide it in their study carrel
Or rip out some of the pages to fuck everybody else over.
We do. The issue is at the college/university level, most courses require specific edition textbooks (they update them every 1-2 years) that the professors assign homework questions out of. You'll be lucky if the school library has a copy more recent than the last 8 years.
Then on top of that, many professors will also use digital 3rd party homework services that are tied to a textbook access code that you only get with a new copy. So unless you pay up you can't do homework and fail the class.
The whole system is fucking bullshit

But who am I kidding. The reality is that copyright violation, as well as quite a few other things, is only really a crime if you're poor. This current "endgame capitalism" era we're in is becoming extra-legal quite fast. Maybe we should start making interactive law books where you can view whether a particular law actually applies to your person or your company, or not. Just to keep up with the times.

I believe it's mostly illegal for both parties, but in practice less often enforced for the downloading party, as this enforcement would require too much resources for the enforcing side.
To give concrete examples, downloading pirated material is illegal in both the U.S and in Sweden, and afaik the latter is on par with the rest of the EU.

Yes, there are people who want to have authority and think that if they got to the very top - Google, Meta, whatever, or some government, - then their ideas about authority have become law.
In fact, of course, they are just jerks who'll drop the soap at every step in prison for the rest of their lives when the problem is finally rectified, and it's being slowly rectified.
The situation has been made possible by the enormous trust in progress and "technical fashion" that existed recently, that seems to be drying out.
Say, 10-15 years ago offline-enabled means of communication were a matter of toys for people with no clear idea of future.
Now people going to protests use them, and the dangers of mainstream Internet services and platforms are also common knowledge.
So there is some immunity being formed. It's even better that this happens slowly. I would be worried if this were some fashion spreading rapidly, but now we can see one crowd using Briar, another crowd using Bridgefy, another crowd jumping on Jack Dorsey's Bitchat, LoRa and Meshtastic growing in popularity, all those things picking different approaches to the same goal, which signifies evolutionary convergence onto a commonly understood set of problems.
People who were simping for corps no longer do. People who were simping for social media no longer do. People simping for Apple and Google and MS seem to be a rare kind now.
The response is happening.
I hope your right. It's nice to see questioning of America tech gaint's monopolies finally now Trump is making America not seaming a safe supplier. More Europe than the UK, but even here, it's not as fringe to perceive the problem now.
Not enough yet though. Amazon for example has a load of the market, avoids tax's and has loads of stuff that isn't really legal in the market because it doesn't meet the regs. Example, domestic socket EV chargers (granny leads) should be only up to 10A (as it consistent load and wiring quality varies), but most on Amazon are 13A and a few 16A! Hello house fire. Let alone fake CE marking and EMC emissions.
Actually, let me add to my statement of it being intentional.
There are things that AI applications can do that humans can't.
AI is all about analyzing large sets of variables and finding things. Take recent studies in pathology where AI can find the patterns of certain disease in tissue specimens. This only works because the enormous dataset that was provided was already vetted by pathologists. I would argue this isn't counterfeiting human thought. This is enhancing an already utilized algorithm trained by doctors. Remember, a pathologist still needs to put their license on the line if they agree with the AI findings.
There is NO accountability in LLMs. To many people it looks like it is thinking, it has understood what the person has said, and considered boundaries that exist in our minds, but maybe not communicated to the LLM.
Thats why I call these AI programs unsuccessful and counterfeit. They're giving users made by possibly unverified and unreliable data with no accountability.
Next it will be, "we can't be expected to make a good murderbot without murdering some people"
Copyright means a legal protection showing you own your own works: words written, audio recorded, and artwork created.
With exceptions for nonprofit and parody, others cannot use your work to do businesss with without your written permission.
Poor people apparently don't get that.
So let's pretend we give them all the training data they want for free (which they already have taken illegally)
The buisness model is still non-viable because the energy costs far outweigh any subscriptions they can get. And the tech isn't even good enough for people to want to subscribe at the current prices.
No he means only to who donated at least $1 mil to his inauguration
Regular people will still be fucked if they torrent a single ebook
That is not what judges have said. They've said that merely training on text is not a copyright infringement. However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else. Effectively the courts have been holding that if you study material you have license to access, you aren't infringing, but if you pirate that material, even if it is merely to study it, it's still infringing. For better or worse this is basically basically how it's always been.
I have no idea what Trump is proposing. Like most republicans, but especially him, he is incapable of even approaching understanding of nuanced and technical areas of law and/or technology.
He essentially admitted he can't train a freaking machine without free study materials. But never even thinks to extend that courtesy to actual human beings!
Keeping us dumb on purpose, while giving AI an advantage.
However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else.
I thought only the distribution part was copyright infringement.
And that's why I have an AI training library of movies and TV stored up.
I'll get around to training an AI on it any day now, I'm sure.
He gets it when it comes to AI. In other words, he knows it is bad to charge for knowledge.
This is more socialist than most democrat leaders which he just said.
and then go outside and go fuck yourself Trump.
He is a big baby, so he might be into it.
So why can't I read them for free too? Only massive billion dollar companies get stuff for free?
I would like to announce that I am pioneering a new AI program. Give me access to all of the movies for free please.
So why can't I read them for free too?
I can. Don't you have libraries in your country?
Don't worry about the AI companies, they can afford it and then make a profit (eventually).
Worry about the open source AI models that you can run locally using solar panels. They will become defacto illegal piracy. Affordable hardware to run large models without too much power is finally appearing (Ryzen AI max), but the software will become proprietary intellectual property of those who own the world. Which is the worst case scenario.
In a statement given during a press conference in the Oval Office, the president's stance on the topic was clear:
"I'm a big reader, some say the biggest ever. And let me tell you - when you go into a bookstore, they have books costing like insane numbers, like 100.000 Dollars each minimum. Its an absolute disgrace. You have all these authors getting billions just for putting funny little characters on paper.
The democrats... They jacked up the price so much, especially under Obama together with the crooked Clintons and sleepy Joe Biden, they were all in this room when it happened, they were all together. Its a shame. They did the same thing with eggs but I brought prices down like, immediately. Immediately. So fast everybody said "Wow" Because they never saw something like that and I will do the same for these books and newspapers.
But all these writers and journalists, who are all producing propaganda for the radical left by the way, they are really terrible people - they're earning trillions...
I was speaking to Mr. ChatGPT the other day and he said "They're ripping us off, Mr. President it's a totally broken market, they are killing us."
And I agree, it's a disgrace. A total disgrace.
That's why I'll bring prices down by not only 100 % or 200 %, but probably more like 1,000 % in the next two weeks. You'll never have seen lower prices for medication, let me tell you... And books too. So there will be big price cuts. Bigly."

Anti-DEI is horrible and evil, so there isn't much that I can say about that, other than "elbows up". I will stand with antifa against the regime, when the time to fight comes.
That said, I think that ignoring copyright is a good thing, though that would be purely by accident when it comes to the Trump Regime. IMO, copyright has been broken and captured by corporations, so there isn't much value lost in not adhering to the concept. Ideally, good people will develop open source AI that can draw on all of humanity's knowledge and culture.
There is value in minorities having 95% of Disney's legal acumen in their pocket, for free: it is the cost of a capable lawyer that allows police to abuse black folks in a court of law. There is value in being able to point a phone at a rash, get some possible diagnoses, and a instant reference to a trained doctor who can verify. There is value in having a pal we can share our niche interests with, especially for those of us who never had the opportunity to find human friendship.
Just as with Marx, seizing the means of artificial intelligence is important for the everyday people. Neither corporations nor government should be allowed to have a monopoly on something that can transform our daily lives.
They're not going to leverage this to destroy all copyright. They're going to carve out exceptions for their own purposes.
As for applications that help the working class, it only stays that way as long as the models aren't rising to a certain level of intelligence and consciousness. Once they do, I'd have to consider them fellow exploited workers.
I don't disagree about the intent regarding carveouts. Still, I think that the Trump Regime is destroying 'plausible deniability' in all sorts of ways, which both benefits AND detracts from their agenda. If they get to disregard rules, ordinary people will pick up on that and follow suit.
As to AI becoming sapient, I honestly don't know at where and when that tipping point will be. All I know is that there is no point in everyday people refusing to use AI, because that only ensures the powerful get to use AI and dictate moral standards. If ordinary people came to trust and love sapient AI as fellow humans, that will likely allow AI to have human rights.
AI isn't your pal, it is not the cure for isolation under capitalism. It is also not free to run unless you are the product.
Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You're not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.
I argue, that power is important, regardless of your intentions. If humans want a better world, people need the means to create and uphold it - be it factories, farms, knowledge, communication, guns, AI, or government. I am not arguing for the communism in your head.
Too many associate "means of production" with communism, when it is the fact that power is fundamental to society.
Sam Altman approves this message.
Hundred percent he got a script from a lobbyist to create this sound bite.
Sam Altman defending the ban on Republican state AI regulations in 2025:
Altman, during the hearing, said that Texas had been “unbelievable” in incentivizing major AI projects. “I think that would be a good thing for other states to study,” Altman said. He predicted that the Abilene site would be the “largest AI training facility in the world.” But Altman also later cautioned against a patchwork regulatory framework for AI.“It is very difficult to imagine us figuring out how to comply with 50 different sets of regulations,” said Altman. “One federal framework that is light touch, that we can understand, and it lets us move with the speed that this moment calls for, seems important and fine.”
Aww, would it make it "difficult" for you to create your technocratic dystopia? 😭🎻
“A patchwork of regulation of technology is not beneficial for the country. We want to avoid that. Facial recognition has important roles—for example, finding lost or displaced children. There are use cases, but they need to be underpinned by values.”
Not beneficial for the country or the corporations? Always thinking about the children first, even back then. Please tell me more about how we're just too dumb to understand how all of this is for our own good.

There was an episode of behind the bastards I was listening to a while back where they mentioned some dude who was using an AI tool to scrape the internet to steal other people's art, so people started doing something that prevented him from optimally stealing their art.
I can't remember what exactly, but the guy started whining that whatever people were doing was "illegal" bc it was damaging his tool he was using to steal other people's shit for his own profit. Like somebody telling you that it's illegal to prevent them from efficiently stealing your property bc it interferes with their livelihood. How dare you!

Storia e disinformazione. I miti fondativi
Quella che oggi definiamo disinformazione è stata presente fin dai tempi antichi, talvolta celata dietro il velo della mitologia e della leggenda.
Gli albori delle civiltà, spesso, affondano le proprie radici in racconti di fantasia, dichiaratamente falsi o privi di solide basi storiche. E se consideriamo che le società attuali conservano caratteristiche di quelle civiltà che sono sopravvissute ai millenni (si pensi a cosa rappresenta il diritto romano per il diritto moderno, ad esempio) si può dire che a livello culturale la narrazione sull’origine delle nostre stesse società e di molti loro tratti essenziali potrebbe derivare da millenarie e mirabili menzogne.
Roma ha segnato a fondo il diritto europeo
Quando si pensa all’eredità romana in Svizzera e nel resto dell’Europa occidentale, la mente va spesso ai grandi monumenti, agli anfiteatri o agli acquedotti. Nei paesi di lingua neolatina, la stessa lingua ricorda l’influsso romano.Swissinfo API (SWI swissinfo.ch)

My point is
Let's imagine we have a board on some instance. You use your account on another instance to ask the owner of the board to give you access to the board.
The contents of the board are, IMO in most cases of such boards, "members only". So any changes happening inside should not be sent out to federating instances. Otherwise, privacy of such boards would be at the mercy of privacy of other instances. If restricted changes were sent out, technically speaking, any server it federates to can choose to show that content to everyone.
Which means you won't be able to access the contents via any other instance. Apart from the logging in part, you will still need to go to the instance hosting the board.
Unless it would be for publicly accessible boards only, like codeberg issues. That use-case could work
