Ohhh didn’t know about libredirect

Never welcome news to hear studios closing down :(

Wait the IA is still going on? I’ve been getting an error whenever i tried to access it for days now

I’ve had Proton for a while, I’m satisfied, would recommend.

Previously I used to use Nord, but ever since… Uh I forgot what they did. They changed headquarters? Disclosed something they shouldn’t? Somebody here will correct me and point out what happened.

Anyway, Proton 👍

Fair enough, though there aren’t any bulletproof solutions for this. I am inclined to think the solution would be with encryption and security and not so much altering the images themselves. Fuck AI, corporate greed and the uselessly slow legal system.

I haven’t, I’ve only heard of Nightshade and Glaze as promoted on Cara but it’s not what you describe

They do say straight away that the concept and design departments are getting slashed, now with very few human artists, all who are forced to use AI in their workflow.

The same is happening in VFX and film to some extent, though I know that from personal acquaintances and not the article.

That’s it. The rest is conflated as you say. It is a very loooong article so I didn’t finish it. Perhaps I missed the real horrors at the end of it.

Thanks, that was a good read. FB is so disgusting. Had I known a tool like this existed I may have stayed. I haven’t used for at least 5 years, but I kept the messenger lite app to stay in touch with people via chat. They killed the app and that was it for me. The feed is garbage. Meta is garbage.

I’ve read the ars article linked too, and I think this attitude is so petty- most people aren’t power users or inclined to customise their social media/browser experience. The amount of people who would use the tool would be minimal in comparison with the majority who happily eats their feed without question. Meta is greed incarnate.

I’m extremely OOTL with this, and now, intrigued

Eh not that it’s crystal clear to me but the winner actually looks much more realistic in terms of what’s achievable for real humans than the runner ups. I think there is some sort of merit in the clout category, all participants already have a media presence which for better or worse means they drive some engagement. I’m not saying it has virtue though.

I take it as a silly competition. A just because you can thing.

This looks really cool, looking forward to the spider version

Never heard of this, does it work on desktop? NewPipe is my go to on my phone, but some content I need a large screen to watch
