@Monolecte « reuvois », mais j'ai l'habitude de l'entendre à l'américaine « rivoille » et ça ne me dérange pas.
Le 'oy' ça reste rare dans la langue et en France le "à la revoyure" guide un peu en faveur du "oille", même pas mal de prof l'hors de l'appel en classe se prenaient les pieds dedans 😆 (et c'est bien normal, je ne leur en voulais pas).

@SteveTux @isagalaev Thank you Ivan for the feedback and thank you Steve!

I added the little tip of broken sword to the guard; I'll update it on my blog.
Probably not here because it would ping everyone in notifications who interacted with the comic, and I would have to add an 'edit reason' that's probably a little too long for a details.

Thanks again!

@WhyNotZoidberg I agree, the mimic has to be back, and a running joke.

On one of my early scenario for this one, I had the "I want to see your manager" and then the dragon being the manager. 😆

@MagotrapTheArchmage No idea, it's the first time I read the name. You can quickly apply this method to any social media product:

• Is it owned by a commercial entity?
• Is the source code closed?
• What's the license?
• Is the network centralized?
  Check also the terms of services, the code of conduct, and you'll get quickly a big picture or where things will logically goes. Good luck!

@Yuki @MagotrapTheArchmage Thank you for the information. I see they have a page on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newgrounds , I'll read it.

@the1goit As I said in the article, I still need proof that the Glaze method is effective against AI scraping.

Some thread shows it is not effective at all: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/19ecsj7/ive_tested_the_nightshade_poison_here_are_the/ , and we have here a proprietary and closed source product running on Windows and Mac (and already monetized with "Cara credits" on the platform.

Difficult to buy, for me it's another "NO AI" commercial hype: they are building the habit.

@sylvia_ritter I totally agree. 💯

@natsume_shokogami It's indeed hard to recommend an instance for artist, and I understand if you had a bad experience that this line I suggest is problematic. I'll try to get more information about it and revise my copy if I get evidences the network lack of transparency about that.

@freezr Prove me that it works 🙂 Because in its current shape, Glaze/Nightshade is only pure marketing to me and a commercial product.

@tiopalada 🤣 🤣 🤣 yes.

@Hibourdon J'avoue, ça résume bien le tout. 😆 Merci.

@constancies Thank you.
Yes, I think making a bot and scraping the Fediverse (only by following art hashtags and collecting downloaded post) would be easy. But the user/bot would have to scrap only a relatively little batch; something that looks like a human reading a TL, or searching a topic. Because in case of an higher volume, the IP of the bot and its impact on the bandwith of small server would be noticed and probably blocklisted after a long period.

@y0nei Same... Maybe many big influencers and corporates prefer a closed and proprietary system because it is one where you can meet the team in charge and pull a few strings here and there in your favor.

@elainemwill Oh yes I totally understand about the style. It's very "Artstation standards" in a way (and sometime unfortunately to a point that many popular artworks looks in fact like AI gen Art, because AI gen art took all from this norm).

About the App; they don't have a iOs/Android app: they just have a tutorial on how to use the webbrowser on phone to create a shortcut icon to the website. This is nice, because you can use the browser of your choice (and then, anti tracking ext)

@Deus Hey, I'm glad they published answers to these questions, but don't put words in my mouth: none of these three points are concerns I had in the first place in my blog post.

Also, I would prefer to get these claims baked by evidences and transparency rather than just believe what their PR service reply (eg. by publishing publicly their terms with Hive).

About property/copyright: check the ToS, point 4. https://cara.app/terms

@yon Thank you for the ideas, noted! 👍

@Nulhomme @Neotheta Thank you for the link. I know the project, but never took the time to evaluate it correctly. I'll try to find an afternoon where I take the little dozen of tablets I have in garage and closets and see if this userspace driver has good perf and cover a good support on non Wacom as well.
