It didn’t grant access to video. It just allowed public safety to say “Hey, everyone in this area, we had an incident and would like video if you have it and are willing to share it.” The owner then had to manually share the video with the public safety agency in the app. The loss of this valuable tool actually harms public safety and make is more difficult and time consuming to solve crimes.

satanicllamaplaza,

Any incident is unfortunate I understand that but no singular incident is as atrocious as the prison industrial complex. America has 25% of the world’s prison population. Anything that disrupts the police’s ability to funnel more people into prison labor is a good thing. Yes those incidents suck but the larger disaster is our prison slaver and our of control police.

So won’t ever use one!

What? Really? We just tell Congress, surely more data will have them regulate car size immediately. /s with a sigh.

PowerCrazy,

When a certain popular president and congress passed the bail-out of the domestic vehicle industry, written by the same in 2008 that allowed such vehicles to be more profitable then a smaller cars, he was awarded a noble prize and reelected in a landslide.

Gotta have more real estate for factory lights… Starting to see trucks with eight lights on the front going down down the road.

The ironic part is that the high beams usually disable all the aux lights, so if you see a newer truck with only two lights, it’s probably got the high beams on, and if they turn it back to low beams to be “courteous”, it turns on all the others and ends up being worse than if they’d just left the fucking high beams on.

I don’t really give a shit about the penile compensation aspect of “muh bigguh truck”, but fuck your wall of lights…

Man, I drive a truck, 500 a month, will be paid off in less than 2 years, I get a lot of utility out of it and I got it from my brother who put some nice tires on it

But I also hate it because it’s so fuckin big, and I hate that people might think I’m a truck freak, but it’s just my only good option right now

aelwero,

I got a little jeep renegade that runs me like 350 a month…

First time I put gas in it and realized it had a 12 gallon tank, I was all like “OMG, why?!?”. Then I drove 300 miles before the light came on and It made perfect sense :)

Full tank doesn’t even get halfway to the $100 mark where you gotta reset the pump to fill it the rest of the way, ya know?

500 a month could treat you a lot better at the gas pump.

A couple of people that drive massive vehicles they don’t need like Escalades have told me (former practicing psychologist) over the years that they know they are bad drivers, but they want to drive a tank so they can walk away from whatever accidents they know they’ll cause.

Because practicing and improving their driving skills is apparently not on the table. The lack of empathy is unsettling. They don’t care who they kill, they just don’t want to be inconvenienced.

Usually the affluent spouse type.

FireRetardant,

I think this shows some of the bigger issues in car centric design. Even if you don’t like driving, aren’t good at it, or aren’t comfortable with it, you often have to do it anyway beceause there are no viable alternatives.

🤣 Fuck of reddit, they’re handing over that data without putting up a fight.

Then provide better streaming options including price and service. Piracy will always win whether they like it or not.

I’m surprised Netflix is still around at their price rate and the way they keep canceling shows. I jumped on the BF deal for Peacock, because I wasn’t gonna pay the full price.

I only have Peacock for WWE, so everything is a bonus. But not everybody is gonna pay for 7 services monthly or yearly. Either put it all under one service or understand some of us are gonna pirate.

Amazon prime is gonna start having ads this month, so people are gonna have to pay more for ad free on top of prime membership or pirate to avoid ads. Before we know, they’ll start putting ads in games while they load.

skeezix,

WWE? Bubba, it may be cheaper to simply attend some local monster truck rallies or rodeos.

Well I’m talking about the WWE monthly PPVs. But I got the $20/yr black Friday deal and then $6/mo no ads.

Teknikal, to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

I’ve noticed reddit has recently started shadowbanning my posts when I have a vpn active so I’d say at this point it’s probably completely unsafe to discuss anything on.

13617,

Absolutely. That and the recent vpn blocking changes has made using reddit absolutely unbearable.

tl;dr: The users’ comments say that a certain ISP is pirate-friendly. Studios want to use the comments against the ISP (not the users).

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

“pirate friendly” meaning not snitching on their own paying customers? Wow

charonn0,
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

I just thought “pirate-friendly” was concise.

jol,

Basically, yes. They want ISPs to police us.

They do realize IP can be changed by just resetring your router, right?

derpgon,

Not everyone. Also, they should just give them their private range IPs for the lols (192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/16 etc.).

Buck,

Your ISP will still have a log of which IP was assigned to you at any date and time

cybersandwich,

Those are notoriously shitty and unreliable.

It would be great if piracy instances were hosted on I2P and TOR. Then these chucklefucks would have nothing.

Apology for hijacking your comment, but I wanted to ask you a question about the Creative Commons link you put at the end of your comment.

Are you doing that because of people who may use your comments to train AI reasons?

If so, do you think legally that covers it, since it’s a link, and not just the text itself?

In other words, would an AI trainer have to drill into the link before your comment is covered by that clause?

onlinepersona,

That’s a good question that I don’t have an answer to as I have no legal training. I’m assuming if you can sign a contract online where the legal text is behind a link and the main offer is what you see… maybe? Technically, it wouldn’t be too difficult to simply erase any mention of a license in a pre-cleaning phase of the data, but I don’t know if the act itself would be an even bigger indication of guilt. There would be no excuse like “oops, I just copied this data into my training set, teehee”. But as I said, not a legal expert.

If there are copyright experts that want to weigh in, I’d be interested to hear their opinion. Given that there are running, unanswered cases (most notably again Microsoft’s Copilot), and Japan on the verge of drafting into law that AI training data can ignore copyright, it’s possible even legal experts would have a hard time answer the question.

I’m putting them here just in case. Only costs me a line carriage and a Ctrl+V.

Myself as well. It’s a new frontier, legally.

Seeing that you have done that made me start to think about doing it myself, as I definitely feel there are days when I’m being shadowed by AI training mechanisms.

But if it doesn’t make any difference legally as a deterrent, then I wouldn’t bother.

onlinepersona,

Once that’s determined, then yeah, I won’t bother either. Until then though… CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

ArmokGoB,

Even if it’s ruled illegal in the US, there’s nothing stopping AI companies from moving their operations to Japan where copyright doesn’t apply to training data.

CosmicCleric,
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

It will definitely be interesting to see how all of the shakes out, legally wise.

What the person using those links does not realize is that a Creative Commons license relaxes restrictions rather than imposing additional ones.

Everything you create is already protected by copyright by default. If you publish an essay and don’t append any license to it, nobody may republish or remix that essay without your permission, unless an exception like fair use applies. The exact restrictions will depend on local laws.

By using a Creative Commons license, you choose to forgo some of those copyright protections. Thus the comments of the person you replied to are actually less protected than yours or mine.

razrabotka,

I should start adding that to my comments too! Buuuut…
