31·2 years ago“attracting” companies like Intel that are on the BDS boycott list is not really a good look for Linux.

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Open source Substack rival Ghost may join the fediverse | TechCrunch
5·2 years agoThank you, that’s an important distinction. I hope they can be trusted to live up to that. However it still feels l pretty problematic to bring them in and would be a lot of opting in to debate and implement. It remains a pretty big violation of user privacy and trust and it says here:
As if that weren’t bad enough, preparations for the sale went poorly, and it seems large categories of Tumblr posts that weren’t supposed to be sold were added to the mix anyway. That data includes:
Private posts from public accounts Posts on deleted or suspended accounts Unanswered asks Private answers Explicit posts Posts from partner accounts, like ad campaigns where Tumblr doesn't own the rights. (Apple is specifically named here.)

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Open source Substack rival Ghost may join the fediverse | TechCrunch
22·2 years agoOne advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.
From Wikipedia:
In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress to Midjourney and OpenAI.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Reddit is licensing its content to Google to help train its AI models
1·2 years agoIf you are posting on walled-garden big tech site like Reddit, Instagram, Twitter / X, the site and therefore the company certainly owns your content and all the metadata attributed to it. You’re the product. This is why most of us are here on the Fediverse where things are different. Maybe if it’s your personal photo you took than you can make a copyright claim to some degree and download your data tediously but once it’s on their network it’s generally theirs to do as they please, whether that be sell to Google or any other advertiser or use on in-house advertising. Often without proper informed consent and not always legally. It’s definitely a scam, I agree. Hopefully this exposes it more and brings more people to places on the Fediverse where there’s no owner/seller/buyer of your data or anything else you contributed.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Reddit is licensing its content to Google to help train its AI models
1·2 years agoSo it’s user generated content that is a product for Reddit to sell, like most big tech companies do, as I said.

Technology@lemmy.ml•An AI Singer-Songwriter Just Debuted Her Original Song—And The Responses Are Just Brutal
131·2 years ago“Betrayed by this town / Let’s burn it all down “ might be the most relevant chorus of today’s music. It’ll be stuck in my head all night and would fit right in at most protests

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Pixelfed Global feed: Basically mastodonEnglish
1·2 years agoI’m on a small pixelfed instance as well and the global feed can be useful for discovering users on other pixelfed instances and also for viewing mastodon posts with pictures. Similar to mastodon it will expand as you follow more people so keep an eye on it and maybe use your mastodon account to find more photographers using hashtags like #photography. Your discover page should show photos under trending hashtags as well so check for that and use search under hashtags. It does show local trending photos accounts at the moment, you’re correct. Dansup, the pixelfed developer, says in the next update for the beta app which is shipping soon and going public soon, the discover page will be expanding to show trending users and photos from across the fediverse.








They can argue against the employer’s claim and prove they weren’t fired for cause. My former employer lied to unemployment and and it worked in my favor. Either way they can appeal a decision and should start consulting attorneys immediately.
