@tuxicoman yeah, I think putting legal obligations on AI companies is really something that should happen. It is funny, after all these years of trying to reduce the usage of #copyright, I think it is a good idea that AI companies have to respect copyright. The law clearly has a key role to play here.

@tuxicoman smartcards are slow anyway, so rate limiting is built in, that would be the rock solid version. The app version could just need to implement something like that but people could hack the app.

I'm sure the renting of eID would also be regulated or even just banned, not just a free for all. For example, you're not allowed to "loan" your physical ID to your cousin who looks like you. That would be fraud.

@abacabadabacaba 👍 I'm waiting for beer concentrate 😉

@tuxicoman sounds like a well known problem with known solutions, for example, APIs with rate limiting, tokens, etc.

Ever more websites are using #Cloudflare to block #AI scrapers. Cloudflare is still a man-in-the-middle #MITM attack on the web, but I do think people should have the ability to block the AI crap. So I now have some sympathies for using Cloudflare. What if we had real gov #eID that could be used for captchas? This requires privacy-respecting services that only see the data they need, e.g. "are you a human with an eID? yes/no". There are concerns with eIDs but in implementations not the core idea

Yay for the #EU putting a #deposit on plastic bottles so that good solutions like reusable #glass are less artificially disadvantaged. Of course, #plastic #recycling is total bullshit, that's not the reason why this deposit scheme makes sense.

Now there is now a book about how large corporations used plastic to drive a disposable culture. Nice to see that the author also calls out corporations by name: #CocaCola #Pepsico #Nestle

@olivenolje @silverwizard @fdroidorg @marcprux sounds worth doing, something like "defend the Digital Markets Act"?

@theimpulson @elgregor it looks like that particular restriction might be lifted, in the US at least, by the anti-trust lawsuit won by the combined force of many States' Dept of Justice.

@commonsguy do you think it has a chance of gaining traction? It would be amazing to have a real community around AOSP. Google has set things up almost as if they wanted to prevent that from happening, so its not easy.

@daniel @fediforum @altstore @fdroidorg as soon as someone steps up and implements it: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/53

The fediverse is decentralized, there are no blockers, just go and do it!

@grote @fdroidorg I would support adding F-Droid to Google Play with key caveats:

* Never give Google our signing key.
* Someone would need to monitor the Terms of Service to make sure they respect free software.
