This is great and what I was hoping the Fediverse would turn into.

I was just one person with an idea; an international village adopted it and helped it, making its message go wide.

I want to do this again, but with the Fediverse.

I could start with a 40 minute visual presentation for schools and organizations, demo it, and see where things go. The cool thing is that I’m fully fluent in English, Italian and French so I could do these presentations in 3 languages – wherever people would welcome me.

It’s not going to be easy. But it’s definitely going to be worth it.

Barak Ravid, an ex-Israeli spy turned Washington journalist, play a key role in shaping media coverage…

Does he?

Plus comcast and any phone company, specifically AT&T

It was, but even when I look at present day it shows weird colors and it doesn’t explain what’s going on. I like the one that someone else linked in this thread, it’s more clear. Also, it was kind of cool to compare 2 years ago to today with the old site, even though the today wasn’t that great.

Thank you, this makes way more sense to me.

Thanks for letting me know that Qwant is Bing. It’s hard as a typical person to find any info on search engines, so I appreciate the heads up.

I’ve been noticing that they’ve been getting worse and worse myself. I was recommenced Mojeek and Qwant, but I haven’t made the switch yet. I always forget to use them instead.

This seems like a one-sided article. If you find a better one, I’ll take this down.

Holy shit, they also cancelled it. Lmao

On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

Mine too, we all voted and they listened.

Could you recommend a tutorial to help me do that?

I think they’re having you agree to what they’ve already been doing.

Photoshop’s newest terms of service has users agree to allow Adobe access to their active projects for the purposes of “content moderation” and other various reasons.

They want you to give up the goods to train AI, old art is bad art to them. Also, this:

This has caused concern among professionals, as it means Adobe would have access to projects under NDA such as logos for unannounced games or other media projects. Sam Santala, the founder of Songhorn Studios noted the language of the terms on Twitter, calling out the company’s overreach.

I think they’ve already been doing this for awhile? They must be about to get caught or something. They want to use, and probably already are, your new ideas for training AI.

I think we’re on the same page, I don’t care if they read my feed in the slightest. Reddit made a shit ton off of me and my friends and I didn’t care about that either. They were providing a free service and I used it, make money. My issue with reddit was/is, they think they’re the product and treat everyone as such.

Be the change you want to see

Yep, that’s one of the things I’m doing right here by getting the word out for everyone to spread out through the Fediverse. People were saying that when I joined, but I didn’t understand what the ramifications were. Of course, I can’t tell anyone on the largest instance, lol.

Nice, it looks like you can do it manually too.

When I unfollowed everything for the first time, I did it manually. I spent hours using a Facebook-provided feature to click unfollow on each of my friends, groups, and pages.

I’m pro-fediverse, that’s why I think it’s just as bad. There is one instance in particular, that has the vast majority of Lemmy, that is controlling the narrative for most Lemmy users and it probably will only get worse. I was banned from that one because an admin was curating what I said. Now I don’t really have a voice over there because I’m not savvy enough to do an alt that they couldn’t tell. So here I am, not being able to let people know that I’ve noticed them being curated and they’ve also banned my community in the biggest instance (that one I like).

This fact is rarely discussed but a major factor why the fediverse helps with democratization of the internet. Free information.

Absolutely, I want to keep it that way. I think corporations taking over one of the big instances would be subtle and will have terrible consequences for the fediverse. People sign up for it, not knowing, and then get curated just like on Facebook.

Why not both being an issue? Why wouldn’t they say who they really are if they’re a major corporation.

Meta (or similar) probably is already running one of our major instances. We don’t know who actually owns all of them.

I mean sure, if you’re on Russia’s side, he did a good thing? Musk should have never made that decision himself, he should have worked with Biden before shutting off anything. I’ll give you more articles if you want.

A Pentagon spokesman said the department responds directly to members of Congress on such matters. “However, we can reinforce that we are aware of the reports that some Russian forces in occupied Ukraine have used Starlink terminals,” he said. “DoD has been working closely with SpaceX and the Government of Ukraine to investigate and address this threat.”

Is using starlink a good idea for Ukraine? I’m sure Zelensky knows about this, but just in case you don’t.
