Which distro are the Germans switching to?

Pinta is a fork of an older version of paint.net: www.pinta-project.com I have no idea if it is any good. I just thought that this might solve your problem.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Social media platform Reddit has struck a deal with Google to make its content available for training the search engine giant’s artificial intelligence models, three people familiar with the matter said.

The contract with Alphabet-owned Google is worth about $60 million per year, according to one of the sources.

The deal underscores how Reddit, which is preparing for a high-profile stock market launch, is seeking to generate new revenue amid fierce competition for advertising dollars from the likes of TikTok and Meta Platform’s Facebook.

The sources were not authorized to speak to media and declined to be identified.

Reddit and Google declined to comment. Bloomberg previously reported Reddit’s content deal without naming the buyer.

Last year, Reddit said it would charge companies for access to its application programming interface (API) - the means by which it distributes its content. The agreement with Google is its first reported deal with a big AI company.

San Francisco-based Reddit, which has been looking at a stock float for more than three years, is preparing to make its initial public offering filing this week, which would detail its financials for the first time to potential IPO investors. The filing could be available as early as Thursday, two of the sources said.

The company, which was valued at about $10 billion in a funding round in 2021, is seeking to sell about 10% of its shares in the offering, Reuters has previously reported.

Reddit’s stock market launch would mark the first IPO of a major social media company since Pinterest floated its shares in 2019.

Makers of AI models have been busy clinching deals with content owners in recent months, aiming to diversify their training data beyond large scrapes of the internet. That practice is rife with potential copyright issues as many content creators have alleged that their content was used without permission.

Founded in 2005 by web developer Steve Huffman and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, Reddit is known for its manifold niche discussion groups, some of which boast tens of millions of members.

I just copied the title of the Reuters article. It was their exclusive reporting.

Read the issues on that git and you’ll see that it only works on comments visible from your profile which has a maximum limit. It doesn’t get everything, because of that profile limit. There is a python script listed in there but it requires an API key.

What’s the best method to mass edit my comments?

online,

Look at the issues and you will notice it only works on comments visible from the profile page and that not all are visible. It appears that someone made a python script to solve this problem but that you need an API key to use it.

Sorry, Snapz, we’re discontinuing steaks to keep our restaurant stock value going up.

I just want to add a caveat (while basically agreeing with frezik) that proponents of the unitary executive theory thought that Bill Barr was a total crackpot. So, it’s more like Barr was trying to rehabilitate fascism through an already existing term that makes fascism sound respectable.

online,

Yeah I think for fascists the opportunity for becoming a little mini-dictator over their respective area of the state is very tempting.

online,

They think fear is respect or they are pointing to the fascist minority factions within those countries as their source of information. Let’s call it The Fascist International.

Oh shit did I register on a bad server? 👀

Where should I migrate to?

I just started to block people who are lying or saying things in bad faith and I think it’ll clean up my experience really quickly.

Yep and for some people it’s too hard to think about extensions so just having them install Brave is a perfect recommendation (for now anyway).

Google to weaken ad blockers on Chrome in a push for security (cybernews.com)

Starting June 2024, adblockers such as uBlock Origin and many other extensions on Chrome will no longer work as intended. Google Chrome will begin disabling extensions based on an older extension platform, called Manifest V2, as it moves to the more limited V3 version.

Creators really need to release torrents of their libraries of content so that we can access it without having to go through platforms. Maybe release them twice a year? Four times a year? Imagine just pulling up a creator’s torrent, clicking which videos you want to download to watch, then waiting a few minutes and playing it right off of your computer. I bet that could also work with peertube?

And remember to read the help page. You can do batch downloading IIRC with the -a flag pointed at a text file like urls.txt

Put one video per line and it will just chug away grabbing them all for you so you don’t have to type the command over and over again.

online,

You can even tweak how it saves the files, what format it outputs, whether it retains subtitles (if they are included in the video), and you can make it spit out a metadata file to go along with the video file which would be useful to keep track of the content or if you use some kind of video library management software that wants publishing date information, author, etc.

Google rewrites links in Google search (not that you use it but maybe you do sometimes). So, if you want the links you click in Google search to not go through a Google referral URL and instead go to the link advertised in the search result, then Privacy Badger is useful for this purpose.

The game is so funny if you know all of the Y2K era stuff that it’s a satire of.

My reply was purely to get to the accurate information versus your reply which says that they are “collecting data from their search engine not the browser” as it’s important that people reading know what’s actually going on.

I’m not here to argue about whether they should or should not do that and I’m not going to (and when I used Brave I consciously went into the menu to opt into this to improve their search engine so we could have a competitor).
