Read the original comment again. They didn’t state what this person is claiming at all.

And yet I’m the one who can’t read…

Anywhere where you’re a repeat customer is probably selling your data. Any service you repeatedly use could also sell your data. Unfortunately it’s just a way of life these days.

Who says that no-one is sucking up all of the Lemmy data right now and selling it to some entity? There is no way of knowing and there is no way to combat it.

I believe some of them are on websites like OnlyFans, which can be real porn if they decide to do so. I imagine being on Twitch is a method to be discovered.

I also agree with what you said. I also dislike how pornographic content is served right next to normal innocent content. It’s like having porn channels on TV right next to the family channels.

You have yet to show where your statement came from

For sure. It won’t be just Google authorities will be asking for your location data.

This is standard perpetual licensing seen across many software.

One off payment = you get a perpetual license for the major version of the software including all patches for it.

Subscription = you pay a smaller fee than the one off payment per annum. You get all updates and patches. But when you stop paying, you don’t get anymore updates or patches and you can lose access to the software.

I thought about using it a few years ago but their pricing was just too expensive.

AI or not, plagiarism appears to happen a lot. AI just makes it a little easier than it was before.

Linuxist… I’ve not seen that term before; I like it. I suppose it’s for the super hardcore Linux user?

Interesting you lumped them with the other two. XD

The only way I can see them serving adverts is by using submissions as the mechanism. But I assume there is no feedback to show how many impressions those submissions have made. So how can Meta sell those advertising spots without any data to flaunt to advertisement buyers and how do they appropriately charge them.

No one said such a thing. Where did you get it from?

I don’t get why they want to defederate without any experience of it either. Let’s see what Meta brings to the table. Maybe they’ll shine a light on the Fediverse and we get a more varied group of people on the platform.

Why are you only concerned about Facebook doing what you describe?

It’s weird that this is downvoted. Is Facebook the only villain in this world or something?

Someone who wants to push an agenda by trying to make a certain stance look popular. Downvote those who have an opposing opinion to try to hide the submission from people’s eyeballs.

Some people might believe a Lemmy account is worth something if they add value to it, just like what people believe with Reddit accounts.

Where/how is this obtained?

I’m curious about seeing an entire list of defederated instances.

I wonder if there are bot farms for Lemmy/Fediverse… There must be

Visit Gemini’s webpage, there are links to Google blogs that show exactly what the prompts and responses actually were.

They did. On their Gemini webpage it has the marketing stuff, the marketing video (the one that everyone saw), and linked to blogs about how they performed the tasks in the video. So Google hasn’t admitted anything - they stated it from the start. We could argue that they should have stated it in the video but what marketing material does? Eg. Redbull’s stuff suggests that their product gives us wings.

I’m still stuck in vim, please send help.

What do you mean with ‘tiktokification of Spotify’?

I stopped using Spotify at least a few years ago because they started serving adverts to paying customers - so I’m out of the loop.
