Interesting solution 👍 Curious to see how this plays out!

John on the john.

De Lancie on the W. C. …nah doesn’t have a nice ring to it.

Fair points. I’m warming up to the idea of making votes public so that people don’t have a false sense of privacy. I wish votes were actually private, but maybe it’s not a big deal if your account can’t be easily traced back to you in real life.

ActivityPub can’t evolve? Is there some insurmountable technical blocker?

I suspected this would be an issue and have avoided voting on controversial posts. But if everyone did as I do, there would be no open discussions about pressing topics.

It’s confusing enough understanding how federation works for the less technically inclined. I don’t think we should also expect them to figure out which instance is privacy-conscious. Privacy of votes should be baked into Lemmy. Even kbin users shouldn’t be able to see it.

If users want to advertise their approval/disapproval of posts they can use public comments in tandem with private votes.

Aren’t we apex predators? We still have fight/flight/freeze instincts, so my unscientific guess is lions are scaredy cats.

ETA: mandatory don’t mess with lions you will die

Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.

Don’t give them ideas. If they had a reasonable number of ads, it wouldn’t be a problem, but they are absolutely out of control.

I confronted someone for littering and with a completely sincere face they said they’re creating jobs for the people cleaning the streets 💫 so does that mean murderers are creating jobs for homicide detectives?

Isn’t chromium open source? How are the APIs a secret?

What if they kept the green color just to troll…

Gravity is a function of both mass and distance, so maybe being 3% closer impacts the orbit?

And from the photon’s perspective, it all happened in an instant 🤯

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

The opposite is taking protons out of atoms, aka radioactive decay.

That makes them a humongous database

I understand why you’re saying that, but I personally don’t agree. As AIs face legal challenges, maybe your opinion will be adopted, we’ll see.

I really do not believe midjourney is storing all the files on the Internet in a humongous database. They are just exposing the AI to them for training just like you expose your computer to them when you visit with your web browser. I’m happy to be wrong about this, but I’m just not convinced. Please try to keep your temper.

I don’t think anyone is advocating to legalize the sale of copyrighted material made via AI.
