I wouldn’t consider this a tragedy of the commons situation. People entrusted reddit to remain a somewhat acceptable company, and reddit betrayed that trust.

People didn’t purge their comments to remove this information from the public, but they purged it from reddit making money off limiting the access to this information.

For the right to be forgotten, this only applies to personal information. E.g. information that can be associated with information, that could be used to identify you.

Since you usually have an email for signup, that would make the data fall under personal information. But reddit could just delete the email adress and your user name and show something like:

[deleted]
When does the Narwhal bacon?

And well, it is pretty difficult to find out if, when and where there is backups that still contain your information and could be given to the AI model trainers too. To find these things out, we’d need a precedence case that makes a data protection agency investigate reddit throughouly.

my layman understanding would be, that they include it in the TOS and your only option would be to leave the platform and demand them to delete all your content, which they may or may not do. E.g. they could just train the AI on an older backup. Good luck getting your rights recognized and abided by.

I meant in the sense, that if you had to install a new OS on a device, doing a beginner friendly linux distro is easier than bypassing TPM requirements and then dealing with the fallout of that in Windows 11.

I trust you not to ask your aunt to install an OS by herself.

That sounds a hell lot more complicated than installing a linux distro like mint or ubuntu.

90 weeks is more like 20 month and i could calculate that off of my head by knowing that a year has 52 weeks. I would have struggled more with days.

You could make this criticism about any date metric that it gets more or less easy to translate into a different metric.

Weeks are perfectly fine and most commonly used in the business context.

Yesterday morning i installed Mint xfce on an old laptop.

I wanted to install synaptics drivers for the touchpad because i use the trackball as mouse but need the touchpad for clicking. Something that isnt configureable in the default driver.

When i copied an example config file and added my line, i rebooted the computer.

The GUI broke because in the example config file, there were “…” To indicate writing further options, but xorg couldnt interpret or ignore it, so i had to figure out how to edit textfiles in the command line.

No fun times, and definetely a risk for new users.

If gambling is real money gaming, then internet piracy is just life action roleplay.

But that is relative. Of course if you spend ten minutes a day you will have a smaller progress. But still you make steady progress. It took me two month now with Spanish to get from nada to being able to say how many siblings i have, where my parents are from, where i live and what job i have. It is not much, but last week i didn’t know how to express my workplace and by next week i’ll be able to express something more.

This is the same like for everything you learn or train. You want to be a concert violinist? Yeah better practice multiple hours a day. But just practicising ten minutes a day will still get you to be a decent player after a few years. Want to look like Schwarzenegger in his best times? You got to hit the gym regularly and on a proper plan and diet. You just want to be fit and build some muscles? Ten minutes of planks, pushups and situps and you’ll notice your shape changing after a few weeks.

As you said, with the small steady work you’ll hit a wall eventually, be it languages, physical training or instruments. And then you need to put more effort for really filling the gaps.

You do know that comedians are copying each others material all the time though? Either making the same joke, or slightly adapting it.

So in the context of copyright vs. model training i fail to see how the exact process of the model is relevant? At the end copyrighted material goes in and material based on that copyrighted material goes out.

You definetely do not need to study an hour every day to make progress.Otherwise everyone learning a second or third language in school would be entirely fucked. For me personally the gamification has helped a lot with learning the basic concepts and words of a language.

If you want to get to the level of a native speaker of course no app can do that and i guess somewhere around B1/B2 you need to use the language in a real setting like you said.

I actually see a learning purpose in those ridicilous sentences.

I’ll far more likely remember the cat that works at the small hospital than if Juan does it.

Not OP but the standard two ones: uBlock origin and NoScript. Added bonus is an addon to continue video view with screen off.

People constantly crying over the ads in their youtube app. Well i just watch in Firefox and if i want to watch an audiobook video to fall asleep to, i don’t even have to drain my battery.

my bad. I had 1996 in my memory, but that was the first Quake.

It is closer to the release of the first Doom than it is to today.

it often was hit or miss with games though. I remember some games from 95/98 to run on 2000, then not on XP, somehow on Vista and 7, but not on 10. And other games ran on XP, but not Vista and 7…

its all weird with windows

If your argument was valid there would be competitors to YouTube that quality material creators would move to when they got demonitized by bullshit reasons.

Thats the problem with platforms. They tend to form a monopoly.

I mean that it costs them a lot of money? Yeah sure. But how much is that per viewer and per view?

Making a good youtube video can take hours, days and sometimes month, depending on the content and production effort. All of this labor is free for youtube and similiar to reddit i would say it is far exceeding the value provided by the company.

Looking forward to the mob using that as a legal defense.
