I wish more people on Reddit and Twitter would recognize that and use more discretion with who they’re creating a product for.

I’d recommend Signal for truly private messaging. I’ve heard things about Matrix, and the warning mentions Element.io, nether of which I’m personally familiar with.

Lemmy.world is a registered non-profit organization. https://fedihosting.foundation/about-us/

It’s easy enough to use the API to scrape the site and use all the posts and DMs for free. It’d be odd for OpenAI to pay for it.

Please do recognize that anything you post publicly IS public, whether that’s Facebook or here. The lack of an API isn’t going to stop places from scraping your data off of Facebook or Reddit either.

Your DMs here are explicitly public. That’s part of the federation between servers. If you want truly private DMs, there are options for that.

I suppose I should mention for full disclosure that I’m part of the (unpaid) staff here representing the Lemmy.World Community Team.

I haven’t paid for Lemmy yet. Well, other than volunteer time.

I guess if we want something where we’re not the product, we have to build it ourselves.

Any time you see the word “Blockchain” substitute “distributed public database” instead. And then consider if the distributed part contributes in any way.

And if it did smell like weed near the MRI place, you know what I’d suspect? That’s a venn diagram with cancer patients in the middle.

You really want to crack down on cancer patients?

Turns out you can’t just do everything you want with 45% to barely 50% of the seats. Especially when you’re the big tent party of everyone sane.

You think West Virginia was ever going to vote against coal? They did more than I would have expected.

Or his initial testimony was truthful, and he just didn’t want to see the guy executed.

You’ll hide them, maybe. The threats aren’t the big problem here.

You’re not going to publicly humiliate any potential school shooters into not doing so. You might, forever, get innocent kids harassed and harmed.

Kids say things. They’re in the school 180 days a year and their companions are 25 11-year-olds who are likely to report them for it, legit or not.

Trying to target these kids with stochastic terrorism and bullying isn’t the solution. Though I know cops love to bully.

The guy who came forward and recanted his testimony? I guess no one should ever do that again if they’re gonna be found guilty of murder for it

It’s lemmy.ml. They’re always like this.

I don’t know that Ukraine could have done this well in 2014, even with help. They had 8 years to prepare for the next round that they knew was coming.

Kessler Syndrome trumps this application of Moore’s Law.

The payment scams aren’t going towards food in any way. The tradeoff you’re suggesting doesn’t exist.

Important government secrets will be strictly separated from personal/civilian devices. The only classified information being transmitted by personal devices is the location and human knowledge of the owners.

He doesn’t. He may serve Russian interests at times, but he’s not a direct report the way Tim Pool and many of our government elected officials are.
