The UCI is also transphobic and doesn't let trans women compete with cis women.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to Asklemmy in Best universities for women?

Unfortunately North Carolina's current abortion law is 12 weeks. That's unacceptable.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to News in JPMorgan Chase warns 86 million customers they might have to start paying for their bank accounts

Right?? The bank already makes money off the money people put into the bank. Now the bank is saying that their unethical practice of stealing people's money isn't as profitable as they want so they are going to unethically steal from everyone a different way that they can't stop or say no to?

JPMorgan Chase: financial rapists

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to Solarpunk in AI art steals from the poor and has no place in modern society

These companies are scraping the internet to train their models. Scraping the internet isn't bad; we scrape the internet constantly for all kinds of data. The free and open exchange of knowledge is what the internet is for. IMO you can't steal text, audio, or video that someone already put up on the internet to be looked at or listened to. It can be pirated or it can be scraped.

"When a new technology comes along that breaks copyright, it's always been copyright that must change, not the technology." - Cory Doctorow

I highly recommend Cory's now 20-year-old speech on copyright and DRM. You can find it all over the web.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to A Boring Dystopia in Youtube stopped working for me today when using uBlock Origin in Firefox or Vivaldi with anti-ad enabled.

Yep. Google treats their service like television, but it’s not television. We all watch the videos on computers and computers are owned by users and each user gets to decide what their computer does, full stop.

The ad model for youtube will always be circumvented by the fact that our computers can run whatever code we want it to (despite Microsoft’s and Apple’s efforts). If that means that youtube goes subscription only, so be it. If that means youtube can’t sustain itself as a business with ad revenue, then so be it. It would mean that decentralized alternatives gain popularity and it would most likely be to the benefit of everyone who isn’t a corporation.

Youtube has a stranglehold on creativity, open speech, and fair use. Youtube will demonetize a video for saying too many swear words. They’ll demonetize or restrict a video for talking about non-sexual lgbt content. They’ll take down legal and legitimate videos for copyright infringement even though it’s fair use.

Youtube is bad for creators and it’s bad for users.

Is stealing the right word to use? Or would it be more accurate to say ‘scraping’ or ‘unauthorized use’?

There are dozens of us!

When the tape drive fails and eats your tape in the process, you better hope you have a second backup or you'll be crying salty salty tears.

I worked in the service center for a tape-drive manufacturer and I would routinely see the drives we got back for repair. They were often taken apart by the customer in a frantic and desperate attempt to get their cassette out. The cassette was almost always still in there though, with multiple feet of tape snagged and wound around everything.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to News in FDA bans food additive found in citrusy sports drinks and sodas

You're going to have to drink indoor pool water like the rest of us. It has all the bromine you'll need, and more!

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to Ask Lemmy in Bidet users, how do you dry your ass afterward?

You have created a mental image that cannot be undone. I hope you're happy.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to Ask Lemmy in Bidet users, how do you dry your ass afterward?

And generally, baby wipes, bottom wipes and face wipes aren't safe to flush, even if they say flushable on the package. If they were safe to flush, you wouldn't be able to pull out a wet sheet from the package; it would be goo.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to News in Donald Trump Jr. weirdly claims that Hurricane Beryl is nonbinary name

It's always a little disturbing when clearly the headline must be from The Onion...but then it's not.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to politics in Candace Owens describes science as "pagan faith"

The article never describes who she is? Is she important? Why is she newsworthy?

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , to News in Conspiracy Theorists Think Biden Was Hit With Directed-Energy Weapons During Debate

"He's old."

He actually said on camera that the reason he is running this time is because Trump is running, meaning that if Trump wasn't running, Biden wouldn't be running, meaning he doesn't even really want the job.

The DNC put up a guy that doesn't even want to be president again, and now 40% of democrat voters want a new nominee because apparently they weren't paying attention for the last 4 years and only realized now, during the debate, that Joe Biden is dealing with cognitive decline.
