  • Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last July

  • No. Just because you own a copyright, doesn't mean that you are entitled to free network services. If you owned the copyright to a movie, would you expect free tickets for any cinema showing it?

  • Difficult question. I think it's realistic. Hate speech laws are enforced against individuals on a regular basis. If a German instance tolerated illegal content, then I expect the instance would sooner or later be involved in a prosecution. The prosecution would be against the user, though. The instance would only have to provide data to police. I'm not sure at what point the instance owners themselves would be found to violate these laws.

    Apart from that, the instance is required to remove illegal content per the DSA. I think it's realistic to expect that a prosecution would lead to a closer look at the instance.

  • Oops. I first put in the article link, then decided to upload the image. I didn't notice that that overrode the original link.

  • If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?

    Jump

  • No. If it's a copy, then it falls under copyright regardless of how the copy is made. The question wasn't about copying, though.

    Be aware that copyright only covers the creative elements; ie things that other people would do differently. It also doesn't cover ideas, methods, and the like. It also doesn't cover very short or obvious creations. So, copyright on code comes from UI design, comments, names, even the ordering of lines, functions, splitting the code into files, using shorthand or not, and so on. Snippets and even short functions are typically not copyrightable. If you have some short program that anyone would write that way, then that's not copyrightable, beyond comments and maybe names.

  • Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica

  • I almost didn't copy the update because my focus was on the technical background. I did a double-check before submitting, if I caught the gist correctly, and decided that people would probably want to know that the report triggered that change.

  • Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Useless article, but at least they link the source: https://localmess.github.io/

    We disclose a novel tracking method by Meta and Yandex potentially affecting billions of Android users. We found that native Android apps—including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps including Maps and Browser—silently listen on fixed local ports for tracking purposes.

    These native Android apps receive browsers' metadata, cookies and commands from the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica scripts embedded on thousands of web sites. These JavaScripts load on users' mobile browsers and silently connect with native apps running on the same device through localhost sockets. As native apps access programatically device identifiers like the Android Advertising ID (AAID) or handle user identities as in the case of Meta apps, this method effectively allows these organizations to link mobile browsing sessions and web cookies to user identities, hence de-anonymizing users' visiting sites embedding their scripts.

    📢 UPDATE: As of June 3rd 7:45 CEST, Meta/Facebook Pixel script is no longer sending any packets or requests to localhost. The code responsible for sending the _fbp cookie has been almost completely removed.

  • I guess, when you have to make all your own clothes from scratch by hand, the advantage becomes apparent. People without armor also fought naked in battles. Understandable if you need to handwash and mend your clothes.

  • I'm not sure what's causing the offense. The suggestion that parents might still have sex, that it might be kinky, or that the little ones might pick up things they are not supposed to. But whatever it is, I'm not the one who needs to get out more.

  • He didn't write that to teach but to vent. The intended audience is people who already know.

    For more information on ChatGPT's current capabilities, consult the API docs. I found that to be the most concise source of reliable information. And under no circumstances, believe anything about AI that you read on Lemmy.

    Kudos for being willing to learn.

  • Yersinia pestis actually kills fleas. It causes a blockage in their intestines, causing them to starve. That means they will sting a lot in a futile attempt to get sustenance, but all that happens is that they regurgitate YP into the victim. It's a really neat mechanism but very unethical. I hope modern bioweapons labs have vegan alternatives.

  • If I submit code to ReactOS that was trained on leaked Microsoft Windows code, what are the legal implications?

    None. There is a good chance that leaked MS code found its way into training data, anyway.
