  • Molly White, who writes the Citation Needed newsletter and Web3 is Going Just Great blog, described this as “a good proposal,” and said it was “weird to see people flaming BlueSky for it,” since it’s not so much “welcoming in AI scraping” but rather “trying to add a consent signal to allow users to communicate preferences for the scraping that is already happening.”

    That being said, yes, not great

    We probably can’t escape Ai everywhere, let’s face it But most people won’t care like they didn’t care about their data in general before AI

    I’m already using Mastodon in parallel, but I must admit I couldn’t find a lot of people to follow…maybe gotta look harder, but I have to admit it doesn’t seem as easy as it does on BS





  • Yep j’ai vu ça entre-temps Apparemment il a démissioné de son poste depuis, mais

    a quitté la direction exécutive de l’entreprise mais reste actionnaire et présidera son comité stratégique et scientifique.

    Hm.

    Fou comme c’est dur de trouver un projet utile (je dis utile car quoiqu’on en pense, il faut des alternatives à Google et Bing) qui n’est pas dirigé par des gros cons (Brave search, efficace, mais pareil pour le coup, le chef est homophobe + et d’autres détails)

    Vraiment, on ne se retrouve qu’avec des compromis. Là par exemple j’hésite à garder Brave parce que je veux une alternative au monopole Google (sinon j’utiliserai Searx ou Starpage), mais vu la tronche de la direction, je vais ptet juste repasser sous DDG malgré que ça utilise Bing, en attendant que d’autres construisent des concurrents (ça a pas l’air de courir les rues)



  • I don’t know how far in the rabbithole I am, but at this point I feel like it’s nearly impossible to find a company that doesn’t have dirt on it in one way or another. There are alternatives in some domains, but for search engines, it’s really narrowed down to Brave (which also have some not very nice people in it) and Duck duck go, which uses Bing. Which is basically pointless to me, not even talking about using UE products, for me, the best way to get some fresh air is to have companies that have their own search engines (so, not Bing or Google, this is why I don’t use alternatives like Starpage or Searx) There’s Mojeek, yes, but last time I used it, it was…really bad. I still encourage them tho! I’ll give it another shot now.



  • Baki is an exaggerated, grotesque, manly, gore version of martial arts Its style is also very odd but you can tell Itagaki is good, it’s a choice (even tho he had to evolve to this level, he already has strengths even in the weaker beginnings)

    I guess you could call it fighting porn. Up to you to see if that’s yout thing, but since it reads pretty quickly, you can try for a few volumes.

    It’s got flaws and is clearly not for veryone, but I love it. So much fun and personality.
