Why is the EFF is concerned with tax laws? The traditional slippery slope is to use concerns about child safety and extend it to places where child safety is hardly a topic.

You should have cited instead the Online Safety Act 2023 which does not even use the term social media platform. Instead it uses user to user service, which is even broader.

But it also brings across the point better, and it aligns with science that tells us where childrens safety is a concern.

maybe, before you rant against governments addressing a problem that is reported from medical professionals, first take a position around the real problems that these social media platforms bring. You are certainly not on Lemmy because you are happy how Instagram and Reddit function. Are you only concerned about moderation at all, and not so much about the content they promote? For me it’s primarily the latter. In my eyes moderation is a necessary feature, and I think the only places that are even more toxic than the corporation controlled platforms are places without any moderation.

I know what social media is. You are painting a strawman of how the laws might get abused with further law which nobody is suggesting, aside from fear mongerers like you. And while focusing on that straw man you completely ignore the very real problems that social media brought into the world.

Nevertheless, even if you were right, the internet is still much larger.

They have a flag Zero Data Retention that cones with the promise that after a call no data is kept on any servers. I’m using that.

It’s contract level trust; I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but overall it’s a compromise I’m willing to make.

As if social media == internet.

I run the AI service (OpenwebUi) myself, but buy the compute on OpenRouter. Self hosting models is not an economic viability for me.

I grew up in the same mindset as you describe.

But this reality never manifested. Instead the perceived anonymity of the social media sites, combined with the algorithm, tears our societies apart.

I don’t think that the fediverse has enough reach for such a system to make sense, but Met, Google and Tiktok certainly should use it.

I applaud your critical thinking, but you are asking inside a bubble that knows answers before it asks questions. I doubt such an idea can at this time in history be implemented in a grassroots way.

You didn’t read the piat before getting on your rage.

It still works fine for most liquids used for cooking and baking.

Oh wow. The primary ingredients are sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar and fat.

Who wouldn’t like that.

Which one do you mean? There are about 70 of those.

We are so upset about specific evil things that Musk or his companies do that we miss to be upset about all their other failings. Well said. His whole empire should collapse, and if that means that “we” can only launch 100x per year instead if 1000 times, that’s a price we can very well pay.

Have you never before bought a car? Go to three car dealers and look at what they offer. Take one that fits your needs.

Hating AI has become a meme.

Our university library is open 24/7, and there’s pretty much always someone using it, as far as I’m aware.

And why is him being a Jew a standalone thought on him?

Why is him being funny an issue you bring up here?

For how to use bash, you can easily resort to local models with LMStudio. No internet search needed.

Drop chats, use a harness. Include somewhere the procedure instructions to always look up documentation before crafting the command. Add instructions somewhere what dependencies you tolerate. Then it’s really good.

Once your tasks get larger, you need additional checks.

It’s for diversity, equity and inclusion.
