The fact that they’re starting to observe exfil’d data used to social engineer customers isn’t great but what’re you gonna do.

I don’t really disagree with you at all but repeatedly reminding us all that you’re “not surprised” isn’t the savvy commentary you think it is. Especially since it’s historically been the case that any service you pay money to has said “no, you own your content”.

The marker has just moved gradually on this with companies slowly adding more ownership clauses to their Terms of Service in ways that aren’t legible to average consumers. Now they’re cashing in on that ownership.

I don’t have an Android but thanks for the links regardless.

While you’re not wrong, the social contract we’ve adapted to is that paying means you have some sense of ownership. It’s unreasonable to expect folks to read every Terms of Service with their legalese. Perhaps the new reality we need to accept is that there is no such thing as a good actor on the internet.

This looks badass. I do wish there were better mobile apps for a lot of these media servers. I’ve been mostly sticking to Plexamp for now cause of it.

Interesting and all but boy, Threads sucks as an environment. It’s just the worst algorithm and their stance on “political content” is misery.

It stinks that what seems like the most critical reporting lands behind paywalls.

You pay for WordPress.com though. That’s crazy to offer a paid service and use that data in AI training.

[–] garrett 1 points 2 years ago

We trained them on the shit we say

Which is hilariously not the actual action we'd take. The "AI revolution" is entirely poisoned, just the same as the algorithms driving them.

If you both want to debate moderation decisions on lemmy.ml, can you do that on lemmy.ml?

[–] garrett 24 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I don’t like a guy who consistently tries to embody “move fast, break stuff” in the places I least want that to be the case.

These companies are just miserable to talk to, trying to stay out of the legal handling themselves by being mum, passing along the reports.

Quiet summer... (self.celtics)
submitted 2 years ago by garrett to c/celtics@lemmy.ml
 

As we creep towards season, I'm realizing it's been an awfully quiet end of summer. There were the big marquee trades although everything seems to have settled out reasonably. I'm inclined to think of it as a good thing while folks continue to heal, strengthen and prepare for the upcoming season but wanted to toss this out to the folks here and see how y'all feel.

 

A bit of a tangential one but I figured we all needed a lil' boost after this weekend.

New England’s No. 1 running back was not spotted during the media portion of Friday’s practice.

 

“I talked to Isaiah yesterday. He’s in good spirits,” Belichick said during an appearance on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show. “Recovering, obviously, but we’ll just take it day by day. Certainly seems a lot better today than it looked like Saturday night, so that’s a good thing. It was good for him to fly back with the team, everybody seeing him. He’s got a lot of support here.”

 

Preseason is a good time to look for diamonds in the rough and I think this might be one of them, even if it's too early for "Malik Mania".

Game threads (self.patriots)
 

Any bots kicking around that can create game threads? I know there’s several others doing similar things for other sports but haven’t seen football yet.

 

Coming from the east coast, I’m trying to find that perfect Portland coffee bean to make for my morning ritual. What’s your favorite coffee roaster in the metro area? Bonus points if they do a great espresso on site as well!

 

Of course, it's still very early but it looks like the Clippers are thinking that Brogdon's health issues aren't as serious as initially viewed. We're gonna see a lot of junk/planted stories with free agency opening 6PM EST but I'm here for basketball content regardless.

 

The Celtics have extended a qualifying offer to Grant Williams, making him a restricted free agent. It seems likely he gets signed and traded but I'm interested in seeing how this plays out with free agency opening.
