The infraction should be in what's generated. Because the interest by itself also enables many legitimate, non-infracting uses: uses, which don't involve generating creative work at all, or where the creative input comes from the user.

I didn't say anything about AIs being humans.

But AI isn't all about generating creative works. It's a store of information that I can query - a bit like searching Google; but understands semantics, and is interactive. It can translate my own text for me - in which case all the creativity comes from me, and I use it just for its knowledge of language. Many people use it to generate boilerplate code, which is pretty generic and wouldn't usually be subject to copyright.

  1. This is not REALLY about copyright - this is an attack on free and open AI models, which would be IMPOSSIBLE if copyright was extended to cover the case of using the works for training.
  2. It's not stealing. There is literally no resemblance between the training works and the model. IP rights have been continuously strengthened due to lobbying over the last century and are already absurdly strong, I don't understand why people on here want so much to strengthen them ever further.

Exactly! Many of the criteria included aren't all that good for new users, and neither are the suggestions. It's not really a good resource for experienced users either.

Well, when you get from 3 to 2000 in only a few years, the vast majority of these versions will be unusable. No wonder they had to drop everything after 11...

That said, you can use a third party service only for sending, but receive mail on your self-hosted server.

Linux can totally do that. Even if your distro doesn't package it, you can always install spyware from source.

It's how German works - when you have a noun by itself (i.e. not part of a sentence), it goes with the article by default.

Stop asking for pseuso-privacy features. The Fediverse is public by nature. Any "measures" to control access to the public posts on it are just lying to users.

Server owners should be able to control who can access their servers - but that is NOT - and should NOT be - treated as a privacy feature.

I don't know where this myth came from, but you don't have a right to erase your public posts from there internet under GDPR. See, for example, https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/32361/does-a-user-have-the-right-to-request-their-forum-posts-deleted

If anything, you might have such rights under copyright law, if your posts cover the threshold for copyright. In that case, you can ask server admins to delete them, and they will have to comply. But the request has to reach them (if they're defederated, the delete button won't teach them, and you'll have to contact them separately).

After you're done with the initial setup, I've found looking for nix code on GitHub to be very useful for seeing how to do things.
