This is legal vs rude. It certainly is legal and was in the terms of service for them to use the data in any way they see fit. But, also it’s rude to bait and switch from being a message board to being an AI data source company. Users we led to believe they were entering into an agreement with one type of company and are now in an agreement with a totally different one.
You can smugly tell people they shouldn’t have made that decision 15 years ago when they started, but a little empathy is also cool.
Additionally: When you owe your entire existence and value to user goodwill it might not be a great idea to be rude to them.
I can only really speak to reddit, but I think this applies to all of the user generated content websites. The original premise, that everyone agreed to, was the site provides a space and some tools and users provide content to fill it. As information gets added, it becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Ads and other revenue streams become a necessary evil in all this, but overall directly support the core use case.
Now that content is being packaged into large language models to be either put behind a paywall or packed into other non-freely available services. Since they no longer seem interested in supporting the model we all agreed on, I see no reason to continue adding value and since they provided tools to remove content I may as well use them.

Is the atmosphere appropriate to you taking a laptop with you and doing some personal research/training while the lecture is happening? You can be involved when necessary and catch important tips but otherwise can treat it like self-led learning time.
However, if butter is left out at room temperature for several days, the flavor can turn rancid so it’s best to leave out whatever you can use within a day or two.
“Scheffler then stopped his vehicle at the entrance to Valhalla. The police officer then began to scream at Scheffler to get out of the car. When Scheffler exited the vehicle, the officer shoved Scheffler against the car and immediately placed him in handcuffs,”
They are wholly devoted to “conserving” systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I’m not sure how that could be “good” no matter how they went about it.
One of the things that makes the warp drive idea so compelling is it does not have this issue. I’m not a physicist but I do like star trek. The idea is that inside the “bubble” is a normal inertial frame with no significant time dilation effects compared to where you left from. This is why in fiction you can travel faster than the speed of light within one without the need for “infinite” energy. Your mass never moves in space, you take your little bubble of space with you.
First let me be clear: I’m not a crazy conspiracy person (…on this) I just don’t rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college....
I believe the effect is entirely topical, it just doesn’t hurt to ingest a little too. The fluoride ions trigger re-hardening of the tooth enamel and can take the place of missing calcium in the outer enamel structure, but those only happen when they hit the outer enamel in your mouth, you don’t regrow enamel on fully formed teeth
There’s a service that I want to use, however for reasons, it no longer has any builds available. Consequently, I am thinking of building it myself. How does one go about doing that and then afterwards, how do I get it up on Docker hub? Can I just create an account and upload?
First, you’ll need to pick a base image. There are lots to choose from and what you choose will entirely depend on what this service is. NodeJS, python, php, java, etc, all have really solid base images that I would recommend working from. If none of those frameworks apply then you’ll need to work from an OS base image like debian or alpine. I highly recommend debian:stable-slim if you go this route.
My recommendation is to then spin up a container of your base image and do the install of your service manually, taking careful notes of all your steps. If anything breaks, just blow it up and start again. Once you have all your steps you’ll need to convert that list into a Dockerfile. Go step by step and learn how to do each thing from the docs. Then you can build the image from the Dockerfile and upload to docker hub or anywhere else.
You can absolutely do this without polluting anything on your system.
The directory name doesn’t matter, when you build the image you’ll specify a tag for it.
The only thing to watch for is when you build the same tag name again, as you iterate on the Dockerfile changes, docker won’t remove the old image from your local registry. It will just untag it, so you might see several images called something like “<None>”. Remember to remove those every so often so you don’t fill up your Pi’s storage.
Edit: Also Docker will keep a “build cache” for this stuff, which doesn’t really “pollute” anything but it does take up disk space. You can clean that up with docker builder prune, read this for all the usage info: docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/…/prune/
And as far as I an tell, unlicensed. There at least isn’t one in the mercurial repo or on the site anywhere I can find. I would definitely not recommend using unlicensed code in anything other than a personal use only project.
Yep Lemmy uses SMTP and in my experience most self-hostable platforms do as well. You can see in the Lemmy config documents how it gets set up: join-lemmy.org/docs/…/configuration.html.

It took a lot longer from announcement to launch than anticipated. In that time Musk bought twitter and went full out in the open right-wing nut and several other automakers announced and released electric trucks.
The vehicle itself suffers from the panel alignment quality control issues that every Tesla suffers from but exaggerated because the body panels really need tight tolerances to look right. The grade of stainless steel they used isn’t great for weather resistance and without a clearcoat it immediately starts to lose the factory finish.
