All things come to an end.

I'm growing allergic to rhetoric. Even when I agree with it.

@LockEx @alng We need GDPR esque protections so private companies won't even _have_ this data. Like, government shouldn't be allowed to do this.

But they shouldn't even be able to.

@hopeless @tante Google has a public policy (with FUD) banning AGPL licensed code. Now they can just BS their way around that.

@bhhaskin @carlrichell I think the EU has a software liability approach that could be used as an (just one) example. If you're not making money with it, you're okay. Paraphrased poorly.

It feels like the idea is that profit motives need to come with more responsibility. Maybe that can be adapted.

@SecurityWriter America needs a GPDR. Because I believe I've heard of advertising companies using this crap near billboards.

@skinnylatte Are there white papers or things you'd recommend? For profit caveat. :/

I regularly talk to someone in veterinary med that's dealing with top down AI push and other doctors creating inaccurate notes from AI. The incentives there are all out of whack since the majority of doctors don't do notes at all. And then extend that to AI for blood work and cytology.

@mttaggart I'm an optimist. Sometimes they believe what they say and then are fired.

Or they just become a different person. A person that wants money more.

@stib A coworker, who does desktop support for Windows users and isn't a Linux person at all, installed Bazite out of the blue and is raving about it.

I was able to install a AAA title to play with some friends and it literally just worked. Zero issues.

I'm so used to occasionally booting into Windows over the past couple of decades -- now I'm just confused. I wasn't prepared at all for gaming and CAD to be fully functional.

@FreeCAD Finished a project in this #FreecadFriday : A Moore style chair edge finder.

I didn't hit the +/- 25 millionths of an inch tolerances, but I think that's okay....

@zak Coworker, who came from desktop support and only really knows Windows, slapped Bazite on his personal desktop because it's better for gaming than Windows. He also raves about things like KDE's display configurator.

This is both amazing and such a strange thing to hear.

@djlink I read somewhere that the Discord CEO is constantly worried about enshittification.

I don't even care. I hate that the knowledge shared in Discord is all locked behind logins and can't be discovered. It started out flawed.
