Ulu-Mulu-no-die

Not just clickbait, the title is maliciously wrong.

The article is about Apple holding developers conferences with cops with the purpose of developing apps tailored to them, there’s nothing about users privacy.

A business trying to enter a new market, what a weird concept eh?

What CA are you getting your certificates from?

If Let’s Encrypt, have you checked their alternative methods to certbot?

I never had to touch anything in uBlock Origin, not even once, I just have to remember to check for updates every now and then. I see some people saying sometimes they still get ads on youtube, not sure if it’s youtube testing new targeting, but I’ve never seen ads on YT anyway, I guess I’m not interesting enough to them XD

Regulating doesn’t mean blocking, AI needs to be regulated, it should have been already done, look at stuff like deep fakes, some done even with dead people, fakes with actors faces and voices without their consent, and so on, it’s not just about training, it’s also about how the results are effectively used.

And the fact the training is expensive doesn’t mean everyone should have free reign about it, especially when noone cares about the reliability of the datasets they’re using, of the ethical aspects of it.

As for reddit, we’ve been already shafted, that’s why we’re on lemmy now.

On our company PCs we have both Edge and Chrome, after the latest Windows update a few days ago, every time I try to set Chrome as default browser, a window pops up saying something on the lines of “are you sure? please try out the fabulous Edge first, you might change your mind”.

That annoys me to no end, first we are in EU, where Microsoft has been fined in the past for not allowing a browser choice, second, we’re talking about Windows ENTERPRISE !!, keep that shit out of it, policies on PCs are decided at enterprise level, you can’t spam users about it.

Appending reddit to google search has become the only way to get meaningful search results, without it it’s a shitshow of clickbait garbage, I can’t imagine what it will become if it’s not allowed anymore to index reddit data.

I understand companies not wanting data to be scraped for AI training for free, it’s not only reddit according to the article, also news sites, I think it’s a legit concern.

I believe at this point governments should wake up and regulate the matter of AI training globally, leaving it to individual companies will only damage users all over the world.
