Methylman,

I’m not sure its a sure thing for adobe (the established company) that this newer company is infringing per se. You need to do business with the trademark to ‘use’ the mark - the caption makes it sound like they will change their mark before doing any business? On the other hand, advertising counts as doing business where the mark is associated but that can get a bit tricky…

If we assume this is not an advertisement, then it’s just like anyone else scribbling down the logo of another company on a sheet of paper and saying I made a thing

Methylman,

You know people drink water too right? It’s not just a backdrop for your selfies lol

FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users (www.eff.org)

**Synopsis:**The article discusses the FBI’s seizure of the Mastodon server and emphasizes the need for privacy protection in decentralized platforms like the Fediverse. It calls for hosts to implement basic security measures, adopt policies to protect users, and notify them of law enforcement actions. Users are encouraged to...

Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see.

Another win for the decentralized Fediverse when a government domain takeback can’t shut it down!

Mali has decided to take back .ml from people who took advantage of the free domain like fmhy.ml & maybe lemmy.ml - https://lemmy.world/post/1915581

And while it sucks for those servers & those users may have to migrate, the and it’s plethora of platforms continues on. 💪 💜

@fediverse

Methylman,

For .ca specifically: as long as you are a Canadian individual, or have a sufficient connection to Canada, or a Corp with a trademark registered in Canada then you are qualified to own that domain - but as to who is really checking I have no idea… CIRA complainants maybe?

Here’s some info about .world domains support.google.com/domains/answer/6300841?hl=en#z…

Methylman,

Lol so one could say they fucked around and have now found out (yes I realize that was a sarcastic answer)

Methylman,

Tbf , we are trying to recreate certain elements of that platform in the fediverse and such a take would be needlessly nuanced

“Stop the corporations” or “save the API” just isn’t as effective as saying f the guy who decided to change things

Methylman,

It’s not so much a matter of whether the service would work or not but whether the corporate directors would be exposed to criminal liability for continuing to provide such services without OFCOM being able to “understand” the encrypted messages: see 99(4) of the Bill

Methylman,

Not BNN Bloomberg for any confused Canadians

Methylman,

I’m as progressive as the next guy and generally love the nanny state (who hates their nanny!?!) but this seems like something I’d like to have the choice to control - plus every appliance will just change to say ‘dont place in areas that are light sensitive’ or will just remove all functionality (a la “oh crap my phone hasn’t been charging cuz the plug died and I had no idea”)

Methylman,

Hey I also just read that post!

Methylman,

Yeah but they were probably just wandering

Methylman,

Tea time

Tell me you’re British without saying it

Methylman,

Why did my mind automatically imagine the guy trying to find how to make farts edible

Do People in Third World Countries Have Stronger Immune Systems Than People in First World Countries?

There have been reports of YouTubers I watch getting sick after eating food in third world countries. However, these countries are also home to a large number of people who do not get sick from eating the same food. I think this suggests that the locals may have developed stronger immune systems. What do you think?

Methylman,

observations from like a century ago

So it’s likely (imo) that differences in race, gender and location were unlikely to be top of mind, let alone factored into the average

Methylman,

Confused - how does not pirating hurt the company more? Wouldn’t it be the exact same outcome for the company (as when pirated) or is this kinda like when GoT was arguing their popularity is even bigger when you look at the number of people torrenting their episodes

Methylman,

OP was pretty clear that this was the opposite of their choice

Methylman,

Good email client

Go on…

Methylman,

If it’s public information why would it be illegal? If I understand correctly the only thing stopping anyone else from doing it as effectively is Meta’s ability to aggregate the data and find the buyers, and perhaps morals.

Methylman,

For the convenience of the sticky floors and seats so you don’t slide down the stairs - it’s a safety meausure

Overwriting Comments w/ AI Output Is the Quickest Way to Make Reddit's Data Useless to LLM Firms (arxiv.org)

A new study shows that LLM models that are fed too much content that was generated by LLMs eventually collapse. Essentially, text generated by AI is poison if it makes its way into an LLMs training data. If the model eats too much of this poison, the model dies. By replacing your Reddit comments with AI generated text, you can...

Methylman,

As we are on the eve of rexxit - Is there a "best" way to sabotage our posts?

I suppose I see two ways of achieving this - 1) a single AI-response that we edit all posts with; or 2) actually using an AI to "reply", as in different posts which emulate the answers a human would provide but generated by AI

Imo, route 2 would be more time-consuming but harder to 'prevent' from degrading the dataset from reddit's perspective?

Methylman,

Whats the solution to the issue small startups would face w.o patents when the mega-corps just take their innovation and package it differently?

Update from r/formula1 regarding meeting with reddit to reopen (bono.tires)

“If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod who wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod...
