@agowa338@chaos.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social And against registering excessive accounts: set a fee in terms of service for having more than one account, and defining that if an account is used by a corporation, the corporation counts as one entity as per that rule.

@agowa338@chaos.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social Now the obvious anti scraping admin control:

• Rate limiting. I.e. require login to see any timelines, and only allow an account to use X resources per day.
• Apply smaller rate limit to lurker accounts. Only who posts publicly can see more.
• Who posts LLM slop gets deleted, of course.

@agowa338@chaos.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social So how is a new user gonna get an invite if they are not already on another instance? That is the thing. If we close down all our instances so nobody new can join, Big Tech has won. So that has to be an ultima ratio, the most extreme measure that we hold in the back pocket but try to avoid. In fact, I would even put "must make a cryptocurrency payment to register" before that. Despite all the planet burning issues that has as well.

@splitbrain@fedi.splitbrain.org Precisely. For "helpful guessing" we already have LLMs.

@cy @Mephisto@mastodon.gamedev.place Indeed. If everyone can afford to eat, then the market sees raising prices will increase profit, until some people are too poor to eat again. The max profit equilibrium is never where everyone can afford it. If one then raises the UBI, one risks ending up where 99% are too poor to eat properly, and 1% are billionaires, evading taxes used to pay the UBI. Like in the USSR. So either one must plug every single tax loophole, or one must cap costs.

@EINS_Institute@infosec.exchange @lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social Not sure whether replacing is a good idea, but adding? Why actually not. Every room should have a collection of various religious texts.

@EINS_Institute@infosec.exchange @lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social I know, but honestly that idea was too good. Need to also add a book of mormon, a watchtower, maybe can even get something from Scientology (will a Mission Impossible movie VHS work)? Provide all the options as you never know what faith the hotel guests are. And a package of pasta. Very important.

@alios@23.social Also ganz ehrlich. Entweder sind Tickets übertragbar, oder sie sind es nicht. Wenn nicht, dann steht der Name drauf und es wird im Zweifelsfall Ausweis geprüft. Wenn doch, wieso sollte dann manche Übertragung OK sein und manche nicht? In keinem der Fälle braucht man Abmahnerei.

@Tijn@dosgame.club @geonz@mathstodon.xyz Especially if the pirater e.g. pirated a console ROM, and owns neither a TV nor the console. Obviously this conversely means that the game console companies could actually make money by selling emulators and ROMs, like, at least for their previous generation consoles. It's not like they're even producing the things anyway. To some extent even Nintendo has figured it out (Virtual Console), except not quite.

@cm @weit_im_westen "noch dazu ist das business model nicht tragfähig" - nee, das ist super tragfähig. Erst "anfixen", aber ich wette, man arbeitet schon daran, dass Werbepartner dem LLM beibringen können, welche Produkte sie am besten empfehlen sollen. Das wird noch viel effektiver sein als Online-Werbung mit klassischem Tracking. Das wird Schleichwerbung hoch 10, und da "AI" es macht, wird es kaum nachweisbar sein, wenn nicht gerade was geleakt wird. Ebenso kann man damit auch politisch beeinflussen (was bereits jetzt recht offen geschieht). Glaub mir, das ist noch viel schlimmer als einfach nur "es wird viel Geld kosten".

@ravenland @Diogenes Das muss dir der drittstärkste Maulwurf erzählt haben.

@agowa338@chaos.social Still not quite the same. Using your device to crawl someone else's website is usually called a DDoS attack and illegal. Pretty sure no one would get away with that. A more typical EU move could be banning scraper blocking...

@b9AcE Also, OpenStreetmap: https://www.openstreetbrowser.org/#map=12/34.5320/36.0590&basemap=osm-mapnik Another thing to better watch.

@cy The problem is, when the government prints money, it simply reduces value of all existing money in circulation. Which primarily affects normal people, as billionaires tend to hoard their value in stocks or real estate, safe from inflation. So any approach based on printing money just flattens the 99%, making them all equally poor, while taking nothing from the 1% (but very likely even redistributing more to them). So I kinda fear that an UBI approach will feed the poorest, which is good but will also make the "20% to 99%" poorer (worst case, the entire 99% will be living from paycheck to paycheck, always on the brink to starvation, and will not be able to afford luxury items like an internet connection), while doing nothing at all about the hoarding 1%. I honestly do not see how your idea of solving the food problem should work. So you want the government to decide who can eat how much and what? That sounds like Soviet style planned economy and we all know how well that worked out. Holodomor? The problems I mentioned of course do not happen in small scale pilots yet, so these pilots sadly do not tell the full story.

@juv3nal@phire.place That's fair. I'd still be actually against it on the grounds that if you start making sexual orientation a factor for immigration, a future government could do the exact opposite and e.g. ban LGBTQ+ from coming in. That's a precedent I'd rather not have on the books. Actual persecution is what should matter, for whatever reason. And the very first step should be to simply strike the US from any and all lists of "safe third countries". Using LGBTQ+ persecution as a _reason_ for doing this - definitely fine and correct - may also want to name PoC and Hispanics in particular as well. Just the _action_ shouldn't be that closely limited, as it has been shown the US cannot be trusted. This petition might be a good first step, but if things go badly, it may set an even worse precedent for a future government. That's my fear here.

@b9AcE Has Apple erased recently, or have these places never been added? Which still would speak for political bias and bad quality of Apple Maps.

@latuernich@chaos.social @azonenberg@ioc.exchange I'm on Debian Stable's 5.5.1 and it works well too.

@cm @weit_im_westen Die Frage ist eher, wie sehr eine konkrete Aktion an der Planetenverbrennung beiträgt. Und ganz ehrlich, ein Chat auf ChatGPT, oder ein Video auf YouTube schauen, kann durchaus vergleichbar schädlich sein.

@benlockwood I might indeed be, but it might be due to my area of work. Like, in my case, I would claim I could develop software just as well without needing VP approval to release my own open source project in my personal capacity because someone made laws that require employees to get approval from their employer to do things in their private time. Similarly, I could develop software for the company just as well if I did not have to write multi-page "launch documents" and have hour-long "launch review meetings" in which nothing whatsoever happens that couldn't have been a 10 lines email. In fact, I could do it _better_, as I'd have more time for heads down work. However, what are AI corporations actually developing? They want to replace the thinking, not the mindless meetings and corporation processes. And that brings me back to your post. Which is true as well. Some people think AI can be used to replace the "lower level" thinking tasks (like writing the code) and you still do the "higher level" ones (like designing it). Which indeed fails just like putting people in charge of management who have no experience with the work being managed. It also has a different problem: if you replace all junior engineers by AI, where are you gonna get senior and staff ones from? You can no longer "raise" them...

@gersande@the.bisexuals.town

who was wearing his press badge

I sure hope the right to demonstrate peacefully and to exist in public does not require one.

I wish you all the best in the court proceedings.

@bigsimon@mastodon.au @averlice @cubic@vee.seedy.cc @alexchapman@vee.seedy.cc @J3317@allovertheplace.ca @GraceTechNerd@mastodon.social @BlazieTech@tweesecake.social Just for your information, I live in a country where the company that originally released a product has to fulfill a mandatory 2 years warranty for any product flaws that existed from the start. Security vulnerabillities and bugs count as such product flaws. So security and bugfix updates are mandatory for 2 years, whereas you can of course sell feature updates just fine. I of course assume you don't sell in such countries. As for costs - obviously the solution is to consider those support costs in the product price.

@pry Technically gold is softer...

@alios@23.social Wenn sie "Sicherheit" sagen, dann hätte ich gerne die Liste von Leuten, die sie nicht erlauben.

@philo_zombie@mastodon.bv.linksjugend-solid.de @MichaelChrist@gruene.social @Frau_Mensch@troet.cafe Aua. Man mag gegen die Linke haben, was man will - aber sie sind zumindest _harmlos_.

@juv3nal@phire.place Why only LGBTQ+ individuals? All US citizens, residents and other people living there can have valid asylum claims (e.g. if I go by those ICE report apps, my home in the US was raided shortly after I left for Germany, despite me having been lawful permanent resident). Let's recognize that.

@agowa338@chaos.social That is the beauty - no need to ask for payment data. Just sue violators. The cost, and thus damages, is already set in advance. A big tech crawler will happily put you on a denylist for that, maybe just for such a term existing. What is remaining is blocking for foreign ones that are safe from being sued. Worst case, block entire countries from registering.

@bigsimon@mastodon.au @averlice @cubic@vee.seedy.cc @alexchapman@vee.seedy.cc @J3317@allovertheplace.ca @GraceTechNerd@mastodon.social @BlazieTech@tweesecake.social Now that sounds a lot better, of course. It is still a bit weird to sell the same device with different software features (as later developed features need to be bought, even if they were long finished before sale and just the box with the device was sitting somewhere for half a day) for the same name and the same price. Weird, yes, but I am aware many manufacturers already do this (and it's bad when they do it too). Same goes for hidden "hardware revisions" that ultimately decide what you can or can't do with your device, with no difference on the box. So maybe the software version and feature set should be indicated on the box and the in-store advertisement? (And yes, maybe they already are?)

@benlockwood Which is why AI would be really useful if it could take care of the mindless bureaucracy while you do the actual work. Sadly the corps are developing AI exactly for the opposite goal.

@cm @weit_im_westen Resourcenverbrauch, Ausbeutung, Piraterie sind aber bereits passiert, ob du das KI-Teil jetzt nutzt oder nicht. Das ist alles nur beim Training so richtig relevant, aber nicht bei der Abfrage. Daher ist genau dieser Punkt schwierig. Man könnte gar meinen, ob man Gemini nutzt, oder YouTube, ist egal, so oder so verursacht man mehr KI-Training. Und kaufe keinen PC, denn von den Windows-Lizenzkosten, um die man kaum herum kommt, wird Copilot trainiert.

@arteesetica@mastodon.social Actually, the ethical uses go away when used for internet memes only (where no artist would have been paid anyway). They replace the niche of MS Paint "art". OTOH even for that, the power consumption is not worth it. Now it is kinda required to get one's message across, as nobody looks at ragefaces or similar "crap art" anymore. So we kinda are where we are now, but it probably would have been net positive, had it never been invented.

@jbjrkng@hachyderm.io @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange "The system doesn't accept my ID." You know, wrong lighting, bad camera, not enough flash, too much flash, not enough proprietary code in the camera software... or ID not American enough.

@TheConstructor@social.tchncs.de @alios@23.social Man muss wohl zwei Sachen unterscheiden. Betrug ist erst einmal Betrug. Da mahnt man nicht ab, da zeigt und klagt man an. Scalping ist so eine Sache. Wenn die Tickets übertragbar sind, wieso sollte man sie dann nicht kaufen und verkaufen dürfen? Um das zu verhindern, ist der normale Weg, sie nicht übertragbar zu machen. Dann sollte die Hosen an sich nicht abmahnen und klagen dürfen, wohl aber die Käufer der Tickets von dem Scalper. Wenn der Scalper ihnen dagegen sagt, dass sie am Eingang nach dem Namen gefragt werden und dabei lügen sollen, dann sehe ich tatsächlich einen Weg zur Abmahnung für unlauteren Wettbewerb. Nur, bei sowas kann man auch gleich klagen. Man kann aber evtl. auch regeln, dass man beim Ticketkauf verspricht, persönlich zu erscheinen. Dann ist Ticketkauf mit Absicht zum Verkauf Vertragsbruch, auch wenn sie an sich übertragbar sind, wenn sich Umstände dafür nach dem Kauf ergeben. Auch dann mahnt man aber nicht ab, sondern schreibt gleich eine Vertragsstrafe dafür in den Kaufvertrag.
