Not even the lemmy instance you’re on needs a license to your content, and it is stored there and displayed for the world to see. Why is that? Because storing and displaying your posts is the very thing you want it to do. That is the service it is providing for you, and you declare that you want it to do that by clicking “send”. They would need a license if they wanted to do anything else with your stuff, which doesn’t directly have to do with displaying your posts in the fediverse.

The browser is supposed to take my requests and inputs, carry them to the server that I’m talking to and bring back the answer. The mail doesn’t need a license to my letters. That only changes if they want to open them and do something I originally had not intended.

But you know who claims a license to your content? Meta. Because you’re the product there, not the costumer.

And let’s remember that the last thing Mozilla got heat for was the introduction of a method to anonymize bulk user data for sharing & selling purposes, as opposed in addition to the granular, extremely invasive tracking that 99% of websites are doing these days.

Ftfy. It’s never going to replace more invasive tracking and just constitutes yet another party collecting my data.

I see a company that needs to make a decent amount of money

Mozilla already makes enough money from passive investment income. They don’t need to make any money from Firefox at all (but they do, it’s from google). They also don’t need to pay their CEO 6 Million a year.

Edit: Typo

2%

It’s called inflation.

Then how about putting that in the language? “We don’t sell your data, except if you’re in California, because they consider x, y and z things we might actually do as selling data.”

The browser manufacturer doesn’t need a license to my inputs to process them and give them to the server it’s supposed to give them to. If you type a text in Libre office, does it ask you for a license to the text in order to save it?

I switched to waterfox. Looks pretty much the same, no issues so far.

Switched yesterday, feeling right at home so far.

Which jurisdictions? What kind of broad way? Give one example please. I dare you.

Firefox is in the process of enshittifying.

If your friend is an EU citizen, they might have some luck with a GDPR request to delete all their data.

They also might not. Meta technically would have to comply, but there is no real way to know if they did.

But yeah, you’re 100% right.

Yep. The cheapest and shortest one I could find.

If you have the same dock, all your USB ports should be USB 3.0 (it’s printed above the ports).

It’s my first 2.4g device, so that was totally new to me. It also wasn’t exactly the first hit on any search I tried.

I’m glad that the fix was at least cheap and simple and I didn’t have to return the controller.

It sadly is, or at least the data protection agencies don’t act against it. They only declared it illegal under the digital services act for big gatekeepers like facebook.

I see no reason why “post right wing propaganda” and "write so you don’t sound like “AI” " should be conflicting goals.

The actual argument why I don’t find such results credible is that the “creator” is trained to sound like humans, so the “detector” has to be trained to find stuff that does not sound like humans. This means, both basically have to solve the same task: Decide if something sounds like a human.

To be able to find the “AI” content, the “detector” would have to be better at deciding what sounds like a human than the “creator”. So for the results to have any kind of accuracy, you’re already banking on the “detector” company having more processing power / better training data / more money than, say, OpenAI or google.

But also, if the “detector” was better at the job, it could be used as a better “creator” itself. Then, how would we distinguish the content it created?

If you could reliably detect “AI” using an “AI” you could also use an “AI” to make posts that the other “AI” couldn’t detect.

It annoys me to no end whenever MS word does that.

I thought the exact same thing and we should all endeavor to use 4616250 as a meme.

any cognitive Task. Not “9 out of the 10 you were able to think of right now”.

Same here, but I did occasionally get a similar full screen reminding me of that fact and urging me to buy a new PC. I installed Mint instead.
