That would put still allow the instance admin to oversee all your different accounts - which would require giving a lot of trust to just ‘some stranger on the internet’. Wouldn’t you be better off just creating different accounts on different servers? Then the only person that knows those accounts belong to 1 person would be you.

Edit: one thing I would welcome is the ability to hide your public profile, or posts on a specific community. Then again, all the info is distributed, so it would just take one client to gather all a users posts, tie them together, and expose it anyway.

So while on one hand I understand your wish for anonimity, in practice it does more harm than good. You might have good reasons to do so, it would also allow people with less aligned intentions to sway public opinion, or make certain opinions seem more numerous than they are. I don’t think the downsides are worth it.

Skill issue.

Yes, that’s the point, very astute of you. It takes time and knowledge to get good at stuff like this.

Good luck banning math and algorithms.

You can’t put that genie back in the bottle, somebody will work on it anyway. Even if the only models produced will be tuned to be “completely ethical” (whatever that may mean), they can always de-tuned and ran by someone with more “moral flexibility”.

Honestly, I personally even barely care about the individual people who do this - that’s been a thing for nearly 20 years now. Don’t get me wrong - secretly filming people is creepy as fuck, and it’s rightly illegal without consent in a lot of places.

But I’m more pissed off about is that beside the individuals, it’s also being saved by corporations on an unprecedented and almost inconceivable scale. But it doesn’t even stop at that massive privacy invasion - that data is then used, processed and extrapolated to wring every known piece of data out of it, to make a profit for those companies. Plus, since it’s stored, they will also use it in the future, in ways we haven’t even considered right now.

All of which without you knowing, or your consent. Creeps are one problem, but imho it’s nothing compared to the companies that actually profit from it.

Me boycotting rockstar because their games have favoured “”“cinematic experience”“” over fun, and the last good GTA was San Andreas.

Or even better - the last fun GTA’s were called Saints Row (not counting the remake).

So… Let’s assume I don’t go around reading licenses for fun.

Can anyone explain to me what the major differences are between MIT and GPL?

That’s not good as good news as the title makes it sound.

According to the analysis, anyone walking through the city with the glasses would have to inform passers-by verbally in advance or even wear high-visibility vests with inscriptions to comply with the rulings of the European Court of Justice. Particularly sensitive areas include doctor’s offices, demonstrations, women’s shelters, or playgrounds. The use of Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses in public spaces is therefore difficult to make legally compliant from a data protection perspective.

Since it’s up to the individuals to disclose, they’re the ones at fault. So you’d have to know you were being recorded, and by who, and then hold them accountable. That’s pretty much impossible.

But more importantly, meta is no longer held responsible, and they can just continue fucking up people’s privacy.

I sincerely thank you for your honest and nuanced take, but I don’t fully agree on one thing - Even in this thread you can see people arguing that giving money to (or “having dinner with”) makes you equal to a nazi.

That is the part I object to, because by becoming so extremely polarising, it robs the word of all meaning. I might be too moderate for lemmy (I assure you I have voted leftwing parties for most of my adult life), but to me when I see someone described as a “literal nazi” nowadays I can’t help but wonder “internet nazi or actual nazi”?

So when I object to things like this, it’s because I fear for the damage this actually does to proper discourse, to fighting actual nazis. I don’t give a shit about Omarchy myself (I prefer debian based distros :p), but when someone describes it as “a distro for fascists”, you’re just alienating those users - 99% of whom are probably not even aware of the politically charged reasons behind it. It just feels like virtue signaling to me, and meanwhile only furthering the divide between people.

Again, I think it’s good people call 1password and the others out. But do so on the right basis, like: “What you’re doing is amplifying hate speech”, rather than “you are nazis”.

Peace.

(edit, that came or longer than I intended, my apologies)

I think xenophobic racist shitbag would be less ambiguous.

Try btop, it’s prettier and even includes gpu.

Yeah, like fighting actual nazis.

Not circlejerking on the Internet about millionaires or comparing the usage of a Linux distro to genocide.

Well, I chose to preserve that term to those who are more on the physical side of the spectrum - which, I do admit, David Hansson is crouching up close to.

But this bullshit about everyone who associates with him to whatever degree being just as bad (orcgirl was up to three, but if you follow the logic, it’s infinite) is absolutely devaluing the meaning of the word.

That, if anything, is helping the actual nazis just as badly.

And you guys used to be better at fighting actual problems.

Fair enough, I phrased that ambiguously.

My issue was with the recursive definition of “nazi” - you are one if you associate with one or if you associate with someone who associate with one. That would mean petty much everyone alive, excluding some uncontacted tribes.

To me, that kind of self-referential logic is utter bullshit. From what I can tell, David Hansson is absolutely a racist xenophobic piece of shit. But the actual nazis were way worse than that. And devaluing it to someone who n degrees away once had dinner with someone is utter insanity, and pissing on the graves of all that died in the second world war.

I absolutely have no idea.

And I find it hard to believe that you do keep track of that. Do you, like, have those 3rd degree acquintances forward their calendars to you? Must be a day job.

Agree to disagree. To me that meme format literally is someone asking “why is everybody talking about X”. It got some actual in depth answers “this is what it is, this is why people are upset” and then it got deleted.

So now we’re back at the point where there’s less info about what it actually is, only that it’s bad.

Before moving the goal posts, let’s stick with the original premise of the people at the table.

So if that first person left, and someone else joins that table, is that person then also a nazi? Because by that logic, yeah - everyone is a nazi, you included.

And yeah, keyword filtering is a feature from the Android client Lemmy Connect, it’s not server side, unfortunately.

Meanwhile the other day a post here asking “What actually is the deal with Omarchy?” got deleted.

I feel this is more about people signaling they dislike he who should not be named (other than initials) than, you know, what is actually wrong with the product.

The same thing happened with the technology communities and Trump / Musk. I sincerely do not care about these people or their opinions. I’m here for the tech news, not a circlejerk about whom the Internet considers a nazi. I guess I will just have to add a few more keywords to filter now.
