@andrmr@mastodon.social wenn ich sehe, dass da Hausnummern fehlen, trage ich die nach, sofern ich das kann. Andere Karten kosten halt Geld und sind nicht unbedingt genauer. Aber der Staat könnte auch mal hin gehen und vom Grundbuchamt oder so jemanden die Daten in OSM eintragen lassen.

@epicenter_works ich glaube für die meisten ist es irritierend von OpenStreetMap zu sprechen, weil sie denken das wäre das gleiche wie Google Maps, es ist aber etwas vollkommen anderes. Google Maps ist eine App/Anwendung, mit der man navigieren, Orte finden und bewerten kann, OSM ist eine Datenbank wo man höchstens Orte finden kann. Deswegen würde ich davon sprechen Google Maps durch Organic Maps, CoMaps oder OSMand zu ersetzen.

Meta embraces ActivityPub with their Threads App: "Look all that people"
People on Threads speak with all the nerds on Mastodon that speak bad about Threads and explain that Mastodon is much better because of privacy and no ads.
Over time people join Threads but also leave it after they understand the Fediverse.
A fork of Mastodon looks like Threads and makes switching easier.
Meta quits Threads and the rest of their users switch to other Fediverse applications.

@beeoproblem@mastodon.gamedev.place @trochee@dair-community.social so you tell me, that OpenAI destroyed the lock to the working room of some artists, gone in, took some paintings, put it into their van and drove away? 🤔 As far as I know, they used publicly available material to train the AI. Therefore the author decided to make it public. Or if not, it's not that companies, but the publisher, who did something wrong. But even that wouldn't be stealing, but copyright infringement.

@jleader@mastodon.social @Daniel_Blake@mastodon.top @helge@mastodon.social @trochee@dair-community.social it's not stealing. I can imagine, that it is maybe possible to get some text blocks out. Like when you ask a friend what the article was about and they repeat it. Whether it's to an extend, that it's copyright infringement, judges have to decide. There is a scale of plagiarism between copying word by word and speaking the same language. Not all plagiarism is illegal. But I can imagine, that AI companies might have violated some copyright laws at some point.

Das Urheberrecht regelt nicht, wer ein Werk lesen darf. Wo verstoßen die also gegen das Urheberrecht?

@Lkdc@dmv.community @MurmeltHier@climatejustice.social @transworldexpress@milliways.social it depends. There are more extreme ones that are against all immigrants, but they are very rare. I would say most anti-immigrant people are mostly against people from Africa and the Middle East and are worried about them using our social systems. They are not attacking them, just want the state to move them out of the country. Somehow they think they would get more, if there are less immigrants. I would say avoid east Germany (except Berlin).

@reina @AmyZenunim your posts are public. Everyone can already access them, if you block them or not. If you DM someone on Threads that's an interaction. So my claim wasn't false. XMPP was never mainstream. Before and after Facebook an Google used them it's used by a small group. History can repeat with Threads, true, but it isn't necessarily the case. And blocking them doesn't make the Fediverse more popular either. My claim is, we should use them to improve the Fediverse.

@ink@gts.turtle.garden @yabellini@fosstodon.org @skylarkingmullet@piaille.fr not according to German law, I think. As far as I understand it, in Germany you can not give away all rights. The author always is the owner of their creation and can only give away usage rights. Therefore public domain exists here only for content that is either too small/simple to fall under copyright or the author died more than 70 years ago. When I change a WP article it says (in both de and en), that I agree to publish that under CC BY-SA 4.0 and GFDL.

@yabellini@fosstodon.org @skylarkingmullet@piaille.fr at least under German law, the author of any text has the rights on it. Every Wikipedia article has authors with copyright on it. But they licenced it under a free licence, so everyone can use it. So as every text written by a human, every photo taken by a human and every image painted by a human is copyrighted, OpenAI is correct, that they can not train the AI without that. That does not mean, that the texts are behind a paywall.

@yabellini@fosstodon.org SciHub makes papers public that are behind paywalls. I agree, that they shouldn't be behind paywalls, but it's completely different to OpenAI. I think they used mostly sources that are public anyway, like Wikipedia, etc. They also didn't publish them but trained an AI with it, that creates new texts. So they did a remix in a way. Remixes are handled differently in copyright law. "The corpus [GPT-2] was trained on, […] 40 [GB] of text from URLs shared in Reddit" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI

@tiberiustribun@mastodon.social @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de Wenn du ein Buch aus einer Buchhandlung stiehlst, ist das kein Urheberrechtsverstoß. 😂 Für einen Diebstahl muss dem bestohlenen hinterher der Gegenstand fehlen. Und nein, KI-Firmen geben keine Fetzen davon wieder, sondern erfassen statistische Zusammenhänge zwischen Worten und wenden das gelernte dann an. So wie Tolkien in Herr der Ringe vermittelt hat, wie Orks aussehen und Rowling das in Harry Potter ähnlich beschrieben hat. Das ist kein Urheberrechtsverstoß.

And actually download videos isn't illegal (at least in Germany), as far as I know. The only illegal thing is to share this videos with others, which is copyright infringement. But as OpenAI and others don't provide the training material as download, they don't do copyright infringement. So it's definitely not stealing. Maybe they violate other laws I'm not aware.

@BrendaAnna@mastodon.social @brucelawson@social.vivaldi.net Genetic testing costs money. But it's not needed here because trans is defined as having a gender different from the sex assigned at birth. So when a baby is born, they look at it and decide what it is and put it on the birth certificate. If someone has a different gender from what they decided at that time, they are trans.

@reina @AmyZenunim of course my Szenario is a positive one in contrast to the negative Szenario it reacted to. Why should anyone block Threads for privacy concerns? If you don't interact with people from Threads nothing is shared with them, that isn't public. An instance doesn't have to block them, so every single person can decide for themselves. Even if you interact, there isn't much shared.

@ed_hawkins as this graphic is CC-BY, I'm wondering which author has to be named. Also it seems you shared it without naming the author, just providing the link. Also you are required to add a link to the licence and to name it. It would have been cool if it would be CC-0. Maybe it is actually, as it's quite simple. At least in German law content is public domain if it's very simple. But I would avoid using it, because of the hustle with the licence.
