I’m mad at Nintendo, apparently that’s who valve is afraid of getting sued by!
still, I think while a lot of people loved watching this get built I’d be surprised if a lot of people actually played it and he said he was almost relieved - he got an amazing amount accomplished but another 2 years of work is a lot!
I’m super interested to see what he does next. Smart guy and his videos are really interesting, and a lot of people know who he is now.
I’m not very outraged. It’s a chatbot, not an employee who should “know better”
also Hitler was an effective leader, which we should all remember as a cautionary tale about how effective horrible people can be
pretending he was bad at everything because we hate him is a great way to not learn from history
I don’t want a factory job though. I want a world that’s organised well enough that people don’t starve when you don’t have menial labour for them to waste their lives on to justify being fed.
feeding and housing is just logistics and we’re good at that. let the robots do physical work and continue feeding people as before.
but… the whole point of the protocol is to allow interoperability? someone went out and worked so hard on an open protocol and your response is that you’d rather just have a different account on every service? way to trash their work.
I believe they aren’t releasing in EU because EU has stronger privacy legislation and their application spys on you.
and yes, there is a huge difference between what they get through the protocol (literally only what you choose to make public) and the data they seek to harvest from having you log into their servers and install their app - actually that’s another big one. browser tracking.
I don’t want to log into their sites because of browser fingerprinting. they want to track everything we do online.
remember when the person who started WhatsApp said that even with e2e encryption on the messages, no one should ever use WhatsApp since meta bought it?
but if you log into a Lemmy server they don’t get browser fingerprinting through activity pub. they can’t see personal messages or track social networks outside of the users directly on their service.
and the opportunity is, people will be exposed to the possibility of using open source and private instances. we just have to make it good and they’ll switch. more and more people are hearing about it with all the other social media fuckups.
I honestly agree, I feel so annoyed that on a platform designed from the ground up to enable communication whatever platform we’re on, people are taking the first opportunity to cripple its growth because they hate a company.
You can get whatever data is available from federation with a server just by joining a server - the data they want is from installing their app on your phone.
if you stay federated with them you can get all their content for free without installing their spyware.
complete win.
