Yes, she said that. But what she said there just doesn’t make any sense.

I thought she made some very good points, but the quote in the title makes no sense to me.

Ahh. TV shows before everything became political. Just two guys hating each other for very silly reasons completely unconnected to anything on earth.

But it’s not “from each according to his ability”. FOSS is what people feel like contributing. And it’s not “to each according to their need”. It’s take it or leave it, unless someone feels like fulfilling requests.

Traditionally, the slogan meant a duty to work. Contributing what you feel like is just charity.

Capitalism, at its core, is private control of the capital. Copyright law turns code into intellectual property/capital. I’ve read the argument that copyleft requires strong copyrights. That argument implicitly makes copyleft a feature of capitalism. You know how rich people or corporations sometimes donate large sums to get their name on something, EG a hospital wing? That’s not so different from a FOSS license that requires attribution.

Maybe you can find some red cabbage growing nearby?

I feel this deserves more attention. Not only is the Milky Way named for literal milk; it is named for specifically for human milk.

Any information about “unnatural” acts in nature was suppressed until the 1990s or so. Of course, by then it wasn’t so bad anymore, but still. Conservatives don’t fuck around when they cancel.

I think Biological Exuberance by Bruce Bagemihl had a big role in calling this out and paving the way for Kees Moeliker. I guess that is how you got saddled with the presentation, yes?

For those who don’t know, Moeliker gave a really good TED talk. Worth watching. It’s not about suppressing uncomfortable information, though.

Next Wednesday, June 5th, is Dead Duck Day.

Makes you wonder what they are up to now.

The bug is called Leroy.

It remains a dangerous dead end. Any competent fraud will remove the watermark, or use a generator that doesn’t add one. Giving people the idea that the absence of a watermark makes something trustworthy, can only help bad actors.

Upvoted. Then saw that that put the count at 422. So I had to downvote instead.

The article alleges, though without evidence, that the tracking is just an excuse to raise rates.

A quick search didn’t turn up quite the right statistics, but traffic fatalities have been seriously on the rise in the US. That probably implies higher payouts. (WP)

But also, when trackable unsafe drivers have to pay more (and trackable safe driver less), then the unsafe drivers will prefer to be untrackable. You may be on the receiving end of the recalculated actuary tables.

in Germany “modern” bread is the same as “traditional” bread

There is a huge difference between the bread from supermarkets and that from bakeries like Hofpfisterei in Munich, that really keep traditions alive. You ever notice how much of the brown bread in supermarkets is not actually whole wheat? It’s colored brown with caramel.

Traditionally baked bread doesn’t “squish”. It had to be durable without all the modern conveniences. You just couldn’t waste calories.

Traditional doesn’t mean better. If it seems that way, then it’s because the more horrendous practices have been abandoned. I’m just saying, if it squishes, then it’s just “American bread” with seeds thrown in.

that will ultimately be used to create huge amounts of wealth for very few,

But… That is what these poisoning attacks are fighting for. They are attacking open image generators that can be used by anyone. You can use them for fun or for business, without having to pay rent to some owner who is not lifting a finger. What do you think will happen if you knock that out?

This attack doesn’t target Big Tech, at all. The model has to be open to pull off an attack like that.

Is that the 2B or the 7B?

@Mistral@lemmings.world Can you draw ascii art of a tractor?

This doesn’t have anything to do with tracking. This is supposed to sabotage free and open image generators (ie stable diffusion). It’s unlikely to do anything, though.

Hard to say what the makers want to achieve with this. Even if it did work, it would help artists just as much, as better DRM would help programmers. On its face, this is just about enforcing some ultra-capitalist ideology that wants information to be owned.

Hmm. What about the other workers?
