@MikeBlazer Are you assuming that Google will do the detection?

I'm not sure that they would want to display their accuracy at detection which couldn't be 100% if publishers manipulate to cover watermarks. Or what percentage of the page can be AI for the trigger?

And it would possibly only become a target to 'fly under the radar'

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

Hey everyone. Just a reminder that you don't have to put up with bullying, shaming or guilt-tripping, just because it is Christmas.

If you don't want to see those relatives, you don't have to.

If you don't want to cook a huge dinner you don't have to.

If you don't feel like celebrating, you don't have to.

And don't let Christmas adverts bully you into being anxious. They just want your money, they don't care about your wellbeing.

Christmas is just one day. Be true to yourselves and put your mental and physical health first.

So something pretty big happened yesterday here in the Netherlands: Prime Minister Mark Rutte has offered a formal apology on behalf of the Dutch state for the Netherlands’ historical role in the slave trade. He acknowledged that the Dutch state had “enabled, encouraged and profited from slavery”.

The apology, including its timing, isn't perfect, but it is a watershed historically speaking.

Maybe.... who knows?

I think Twitter are making it up as they go at this stage anyway.

The world is buckling bc of a few megalomaniac men who were either denied love or have a warped view of what love is.

Love is the only way out of this. Kindness is the antidote to hate. Don’t let hate change you. Vote. Breathe. Drink water. Honor each other. Hate is untenable.

1.5b accounts that are "obvious account deletions with no tweets & no log in for years"

I took that to mean that if there were tweets published then there would be no deletion even if no login.

But anything might happen tomorrow. I wouldn't assume that Twitter is a good place for an archive. I'd take it now while the servers still have power.

Protocols, not platforms. That we let ourselves get suckered into platforms over protocols is one of the biggest unforced errors in the history of the net, and if Musk makes that widely obvious, it will be a significant silver lining in his sophomoric conflagration.
