  • AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today

    Jump

  • Good thing PeerTube exists, you could always just move there. Google stopped being trustworthy for creators as soon as they announced Veo 3 if not even before then.

    Similarly, with Reddit, Meta, Twitter, and Pinterest further embracing AI, you got this site, Mastodon, and Pixelfed to move to as far as the Fediverse goes and even Bsky while they're still anti-AI, although given Bsky is a centralized, corporate platform, what's stopping them from going the way of Google, Reddit, Meta, Twitter, and Pinterest at some point in the future?

  • Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits

    Jump

  • They can force custom proprietary spying software on your devices.

    • That would block Linux from their borders, which means goodbye Steam Deck in the UK among other things.

  • Yes Facebook is a dumpster fire, but this is always interesting if you are on there.

    Jump

  • You're talking on another viable platform right now, plus Mastodon and even Bsky for that matter although given Bsky is centralized ultimately, and also ultimately corporate-ran, who knows when or if they won't go down the same dark path to ruin as Twitter or Facebook some day.

  • Giving Up on Element & Matrix.org

    Jump

  • You got PeerSuite as a newcomer, and a pretty promising one with the concept of not having any servers tied to it at all, at that.

  • United States Armed Forces onboarding Grok

    Jump

  • Welcome to Skynet IRL. Things were better when there was no chance of your favorite post-apocalyptic fiction, be it Terminator or Fallout or Mad Max or whatever it may be, becoming real instead of staying as fiction.

  • Apple’s plan: Stall, cheat, repeat

    Jump

  • Last time I thought you could install Asahi on current Macs unless Apple started blocking that and I didn't know.

  • The Channel Directory - Discover new content!

    Jump

  • peertube.wtf and lemmy.wtf are both down right now.

  • StopKillingGames - Yet another reminder for European citizens to fight for software ownership before the timer runs out. A signature takes mere minutes and preserves many games and lots of fun.

    Jump

  • I can't sign it because I'm in the US..... unfortunately..... but it's in Overdrive right now.

  • Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy

    Jump

  • Given the US is ran by the New Fuhrer? I could see this being used against criticism of leadership or anything else resembling free will and not just piracy. I also find it sad that the day the US will probably die as a free country and turn into a dictatorship, is the same day it gained its independence in the first place.

  • Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy

    Jump

  • If it's upheld, that's the precursor to full-blown info blackouts, just cut off internet to anyone 'accused' of wrongspeak against the powers that be, which is basically everyone.

    This also sounds like SOPA reborn.

  • Student visa applicants will now be forced to make their social media accounts public

    Jump

  • And how long before that applies to citizens too? If Free Speech and Free Expression on the whole aren't dead yet, they've got a foot in the grave

  • A Tech-Backed Influencer Wants to Replace Teachers With AI

    Jump

  • That's exactly what Google is trying to do on YT with Veo 3 and the 'AI slop' button.

  • Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not

    Jump

  • Good luck breaking down people's doors for scanning their own physical books for their personal use when analog media has no DRM and can't phone home, and paper books are an analog medium.

    That would be like kicking down people's doors for needle-dropping their LPs to FLAC for their own use and to preserve the physical records as vinyl wears down every time it's played back.

  • Your TV Is Spying On You

    Jump

  • Still gonna need a large screen somehow unless you watch all your stuff at the desk or through a laptop.

  • YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3

    Jump

  • Too bad this probably still won't drive people to other platforms.

  • Your TV Is Spying On You

    Jump

  • Mine ain't, I'm using an ancient dumb TV.

  • Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers

    Jump

  • They don't host anything, they're just an alternate front-end that lets you download stuff.

  • Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers

    Jump

  • Workaround got released, that same issue just updated itself to indicate that. Still shitty of Google to be going full Reddit like this though.

  • YT's blocked on it. Fuck you, Google.

    https://github.com/futo-org/grayjay-android/issues/2351

    If Google's going to be further tightening YT to the degree where they might roll out DRM platform-wide as opposed to just limiting it to movies on the platform, I'm about to seriously start looking for stuff to watch on PeerTube because YT is not long for the world and will probably start pushing away anything that isn't AI slop at some point in terms of content.

    UPDATE: A workaround has been released for this issue.

  • Patreon will increase the cut it takes from new creators

    Jump

  • Liberapay is looking pretty good right now.
