Idk I like it.

Interesting observation. I really wish anything we see could be trusted regarding the war rn, but fog of war is one hell of a thing. Let's hope we will see everything that propaganda has pushed after the war is over.

Mmm yes, let the snake oil flow through you.

They'd do better finally fixing teams. We're talking years after release, and there's still no option to change my status behaviour. It forces DnD when I get called, it puts me afk after only 5min, ...

Their software does not fundamentally work very well. So even if this bs would be talking about an actual feature, that's some stone age project management right there.

I mean I know why ppl are scared it will kill off the fediverse, but the only thing that can kill off the fediverse is the Devs. As long as they don't sell it or start involving a bigger company in the development, we are fine. And pull requests are transparent and therefore not a thread with enough common sense.

I see the risk but I don't think it's that imminent.

Interesting

Why the hell washe not awarded his whole fees? Maybe the jury didn't think he'd been spending that much money? Well what an annoying outcome.

I might be ignorant, but where's the relevant case law making copyright apply to AI?

I know that copyright definitely applies if you record things 1:1. I also know we're on the brink of getting new laws regarding AI. But from what I know there's still nothing that a lower court can safely rely on. And I'm talking EU, as well as US.

If I'm wrong please tell me, I'm excited to learn about what I missed.

Ooooh can we sue them? I'd love to sue them. Shout it out loud that they are purposely manipulating users and investors into thinking how bad Lemmy is and how many ppl have opinions.

As if bbc wouldn't get you upvoted to oblivion

Man there's literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that's likes.

I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it's a good or bad toot. There's no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.

I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I'm not the only one, and I'm sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.

That's a big yikes and I hope they will find another way...

There are a lot of reasons for this general trend, but let me add my two cents to make a case for the sudden influx of user-opposed changes:

I don't have a source for this, but I remember that Linus spoke about this on the LTT WAN-Show. Basically, abunch of big silicon valley investors are pulling out of all of the big platforms, therefore leaving them with a huge hole in their profitability. This means, that right now a lot of them are scrambling to scrape together more money over time, so all of those platforms are sustainable.

Obviously this has to observed in conjunction with all of those are trends that are already mentioned by other comments, but this gives more basis as to why now, and why to this extent.

If someone else knows what I'm talking about please add quotes and sources because I don't like the good old 'dude trust me' guarantee one bit.

On one hand I agree, on the other hand the original point of contention was price per request, and less people = less requests.

Then again that means less ppl to maybe make enough of a margin to cover development and maintenance costs.

It's Def gonna be interesting, just a little complex.
