I am only critical that those models are in the hand of corporations who try to profit from it. Copyrights are mainly a tool to be wielded by the powerful: see Sony trying to disconnect ISP accounts en masse or media giants suing people into oblivion, Nintendo fucking over their fanbase again and again and so on.

The datasets should belong to an UN organisation like UNESCO, corporations/NGOs/people should be able to licence them to build their models (ev. with “community models” provided free for personal use), and the licence fees should be used to subsidize culture. This plus an UBI would make sure that artists don’t have to starve, corporations can use them to try to make a profit, and everyone else can use them to create for their own or their communities use. Artists that don’t want to go into the datasets have that right too, but also won’t have access to that financial pool (this shouldn’t be the only pool).

Fuck copyrights.

i have it too, and i used it a lot, but most people i knew at that time went for Sony

i know of at least 2 women who realized their sexual orientation through xena

Don’t have many bluesky followers, but i made an awareness post - everyone i know and who cares has already signed :-)

Alley Cat Remeow Edition is a fan remake of Alley Cat, an arcade game, with up to 4 players, but it’s PC (should still run on that hardware, i hope!)

IIRC that was caused by a buffer underflow, his probability to try to go nuclear was set to literally zero, which was stored in an unsigned int, and in-game policies reduced it further, causing a nuke-maxing ghandi

That whole pamphlet is creepy as fuck.

• The President looks like she would praise the lord while you get punished for “being not faithful enough” or some shit
• The Mum in the Mother/Daughter photo smiles like a shark before a good meal
• The adult man in the first box of the comic strip has the look of a predator fixated on Ronny
• The face of the child in front of the PC says “let me out of this crazy cult which put a tie on me for home school”
• In the description of the 4 elements of the “Reading Enhancement Program” the word “drill” is used a total of 8 times.
• During the “Service Adventure” (something like a int’l exchange program to help/proselytize to the poor unwashed masses in mexico) the person from Thailand said that he learned survival skills like eating new tastes of food and drinks, sleeping on the floor and learning carpentry and sewing (the last two things are at least useful)
• The most important thing for impoverished children around the world isn’t food, water, a safe place to sleep and education, but… the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

in the “supporting information” is a video of all 5 study participants btw

Valve will not change at least as long as Gaben is in command, and since it’s a money printing machine for the owner I’m pretty sure it will stay consumer friendly for quite a bit longer than Gaben. Enshittification is a direct consequence of a company being beholden to shareholders more than anything else, and in this case there are none.

i am still pretty sure its the arm

yaaaay Weebl :-D

16 years ago fits the story for this being the son too!

if he has the arm lowered and just uses his forearm to hold the fishing pole, the upper arm isnt visible

it was kbin, the first one i registered on because it played nicely mastodon too, and i thought it would be nice to have less tabs permanently open.

now i have accounts on mastodon, dbzer0’s lemmy, piefed, pixelfed and even friendica goddamnit it’s like collecting pokemon

try finger but edge

(my android phones don’t have buttons and haven’t for years)

I’ve set up my SO with adfree alternative clients for Youtube 3 times now, and she always defaults back to the adinfested youtube app - and she’s at least a competent user. i cannot wrap my head around it, but it’s her time and attention she’s wasting, not mine.

hardcode all the ip’s!

Dead Island 2 is free on Epic currently, and probably more fun than Borderlands 4; BL 3 wasn’t written well, and i assume the same for BL 4. A shame, BL2 is one of my most played FPS

It’s also expensive and very shortlived, so it has at least that going for it. Source: found out my passport had expired 24 hours before boarding a flight; Also, austrian temp passports are also white

especially in the context of foodstuffs the decagramm (or just deka in common language) is getting used in Austria, don’t know if it’s the same in germany, so it would be a 25 deka burger
