X/Twitter has updated its Terms of Service to let it use Posts for AI training (stackdiary.com)

Here’s the kicker: based on these AI-assigned definitions in the updated terms, your access to certain content might be limited, or even cut off. You might not see certain tweets or hashtags. You might find it harder to get your own content seen by a broader audience. The idea isn’t entirely new; we’ve heard stories of...

Yep it sucks because I think it’s Kevin Smith’s best work but I do respect him for refusing to buy the rights back or arrange for a deal for streaming rights because it would be giving Bob and Harvey Weinstein money.

So Disney, who owned Miramax at the time, allowed Bob and Harvey Weinstein to buy the movie themselves. So they personally own Dogma.

duplicates or otherwise non engaging accounts.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if duplicate accounts are a part of this but that seems like it would be a natural part of growing pains for lemmy. The way the fediverse is built would suggest that people who are serious about long-term participation may bounce around a bit. For example, I joined in June but in that time I still managed to test out two other instances before settling on a third that seemed to strike the ideal balance between admin policies and reliable uptime to suit my needs.

The cable for my M2 MBA is braided and the quality feels equal to my braided Anker usb-c cables and I’ve had those for the better part of a decade without any issues. So I’d imagine if these are infact the new iPhone cables they should probably be good too.
