YouTube/Google is the main or only platform for many content creator.
Easier said than done, but: don’t put all eggs in one basket. If the viewer base is following a creator through a mix of channels (YouTube, Mastodon, Vimeo, RSS, newsletter…) then it’s easier to notify people “hey I moved to Vimeo/Nebula since YouTube kicked me out, follow me there…”

Then presidential pardon is not an option.
Ad-blockers like uBlock origin can filter slop websites.
A blocklist for AI images https://codeberg.org/just_a_husk/uBlockOrigin-AI-Blocklist/ this is a “fork and expansion of laylavish’ AI image blocklist on github”.
I’m not aware of a similar blocklist for written content, which could block slop farms like the one mention in the article. Recommandations are welcome.
This headline should be eye opening for LLM AI users, regarless of the outcome of this lawsuit.
The rise in coal use was largely driven by the growth of data centres
AI summaries, agents, chatbots, brought to you by coal and tech oligarchs.
When someone puts out new stuff every hour, it will get seen by many more people…
Has any social media tried grouping/folding posts per author and day? If an account write a 12-posts rant or marketing push in a single day, the feed could show the first 1, with a button to “see 11 more posts by Account123” similar to how large threads are folded by default.
I’m avoiding big tech social media and don’t know if any have tried that recently.
It lacks a comparison to other apps…
Yes. Would love to see this compared to XMPP, maybe Signal.
And does it actually matter? What is important to encrypt?
It matters a lot! Here’s one dramatic example:
Some may find this acceptable, considering the army is rightfully targetting terrorists. However the same techniques are used by autoritarian states to target political opponents, journalists, human right defenders…
It’s strange that the server shares the IP to other servers. That’s not really useful for another server.
Even if there’s a technical reason, it shows the protocol or implementations lack good metadata protections. Hopefully the matrix foundation can fix this soon. If not, people should look for more secure options.
This is a symptom of a regression in the democratization of general purpose computing. An extreme case for sure.
Machines are getting increasingly expensive, and the number of person who can affort a computer decreases. Reversing decades of progress in computer availability, thanks to AI and techbros.
This article have lots of signs it was in large part AI generated. Multiples lists, em-dashes, AI generated illustrations.
I don’t see any clear disclosure on the article’s page, but there’s a AI policy page explaining how it’s used in many way, including for the writing.
It makes it hard to take this seriously. If this online media don’t bother writing articles themselves, why bother reading them?
1.67 MB in size, which is unusually large for such trivial functionality
Don’t underestimate Microsoft’s ability to write bloated software. Any sloppy developer really.
Do players even own PlayStation consoles? Sony arbitrarily restrict what operating system run on hardware people buy from them.
A friends car’s emergency brake triggered at a toll booth because it got too close too the barrier, which is required in order for the barrier to automatically open.
He had this issue everytime he got on the highway, and eventually disabled that feature.
It’s too early to publish a news article about it, then.
They are losing billions… of investor money.
This may include people investing in index funds, now that Musk’s Space/AI company is publicly listed. Maybe a piece of people’s pension fund as well, if NVIDIA’s wish comes true. https://fortune.com/2026/08/13/nvidia-wants-your-pension-fund-in-the-ai-trade/
The layman with money in index or pension fund probably don’t intend to invest in AI, but here we are.
737 is old tech. I’m surprised they found something compatible to connect it to.
We’re talking about different kind of proofs.
Proving a program is correct requires a formal specification and a formal verification with mathematics and/or formal methods. ie proving the behavior and result perfectly match specification for all possible inputs.
A test only proves that a program 1) returns the expected output for a specific input, or limited set of inputs, and 2) appears to behave correctly, ie there may be undefined behaviour but they don’t cause an immediate crash.
Actually proving that C code is correct is not easy.
Having a human developer manually write code that is less harmful/wrong, and doesn’t require proof, is probably easier.
Mostly out of the loop, I use this fork as well. Apps distributed on the F-Droid repo are OSS, built from source, and screened for malware.
If the fork is no longer maintained I expect it to be removed from the repo, that should be announced on the blog with the regular app news.
This would not conflict with linux kernel policy, nor with other upstream use of AI. The article makes it clear:
Importantly, the ban would not apply to upstream projects that use AI, software related to artificial intelligence, or patches and security fixes from upstream sources. In other words, Debian could still package third-party software developed with AI assistance, but Debian contributors would be prohibited from using such tools for direct project work
Right, I omitted some toxic platforms.
Twitch might be the least toxic, yet owned by Amazon.
