Farlig information tydligen 😄

@bettycjung.bsky.social that's a really interesting difference between then and now.

The existence of seach engines (like Altavista, Yahoo search, Google search, etc) was good for creators like someone writing on a blog, because the search engnes helped other people find your blog.

In contrast, ChatGPT et al are really bad for you because "OpenAI" will copy what you have written and give it to users as if "OpenAI" had created it. Why write a blog when nobody will read it?

@nivea

> signal desktop for arm64

Yes, that's what I use currently on my phone, however it's a bit awkward, not very well adapted to the small screen. Also, because Signal Desktop does not work as a "main device" for Signal, I have to have some other device also. The way I solved that for the moment (being an anti-android fundamentalist) is to run signal-cli on a device, that works as my "main device" for Signal.

@wallamba it's been decades since I read that trilogy but I'm still annoyed at Tom Bombadil

> openly licensed

That's not specific enough. If it's "public domain", "do whatever you want with this and no attribution required", then sure, use it for whatever.

But if it's a license that requires attribution, like the CC licenses, then it's wrong to "train" so-called "AI" systems on that, because what they will do is to throw away the info about who the author was, and then generate "new" things as if they were "authored" by the "AI" system.

Note also the various GNU-like variants -- see @linmob and things like @phosh

It would be great if Signal could become more friendly to those and not assume that everyone must use Andriod or iOS. Andriod or iOS are things of the past, we need to move away from those towards alternatives that put the user's freedom and privacy front and center.

@hehemrin @hehemrin ja Purism har aldrig tid/resurser att ta tag i det, precis som de inte har tid att få ordning på nya versionen av PureOS till min Librem 5. 😐 Men jag hoppas i alla fall att de klarar sig vidare och fåt bättre ordning på saker. 🙂

Attended a great talk yesterday at @dedependance hosted by Nuria Ribas Costa with @Mer__edith and Evelyn Austin (@bitsoffreedom) about #Signal, AI and Europe's "Big Tech Initiatives" (amongst other things).

They had an interesting perspective on how Europe can catch up on the US with regards to Big Tech, "the cloud"¹, hyperscalers, etc.

Their perspective was: should we even want this? Should we want to copy the US's Big Tech template and perhaps end up like them?

¹ such a dumb term

@hehemrin @hehemrin blir jag ensam kvar på "librem.one"? 🙂

Vad var droppen som fick dig att flytta?

@year_progress don't you know progress bars are out of style? Nowadays nobody cares about actual progress, you can just display a spinner instead.

"The year is ongoing, please wait"

GPS collars used to control farm animals may soon become allowed in Sweden.

Meanwhile, GPS thingys used to control humans have been in use for quite some time. 😉

So we can look forward to that soon, both farm animals and humans will be controlled in the same way.
