That doesnt necessarily mean that training AI on this data is legal. Especially when multiple of these instances had legal documents in place specifically forbidding this kind of use.

Looks like he is putting features into Loops that were originally planned for Pixelfed, but didnt work to implement there (Pixelfed is said to have a very messy codebase, dansup recently said that for weeks he had a broken CI on github).

Sounds nice

Sounds like Visa and Mastercard have clauses in their contracts that they don’t even care about themselves, but payment processors like Stripe are bound to then

My problem with that is that I use a phone cover. Flashing a light on the side of the phone however could be great.

Afaik he tolerated no support for calls for violence whatsoever on his instance. Which is his freedom to do as his line of moderating, but obviously brought him into conflict with the beliefs of many on Lemmy

The developers of Fedi software have different philosophies. Some developers are just not interested in implementing and supporting all kinds of AP actors, kinds of media, ways of attaching media etc. Because they want their software to focus on a certain thing.

Others want to implement everything and interconnect with every platform.

“Keep moving the goalposts”? Mate this is my first comment in this comment chain. And it does make a difference to me personally if someone said something before a very public turnaround 5 years ago, or recently after this change

When did he state this? Recently?

Hm, I’m not sure about that. There was a point in time where he was - even outside his videos - engaging with Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk. Echoing their philosophies and world views. The alt-right was using him and his platform to lure teenagers in. It’s possible that Felix did not even realize what was happening there. Or he was brainwashed himself for some time.

The important thing is that from 2019 onwards he clearly distanced himself from any of that.

He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.

Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.

Yeah I know some big german youtubers who years ago were like “we need to be more independent from youtube” and set up their own website. Every year the costs for hosting that would take out a huge cut of their earnings, so at the start of 2025 they finally gave up and said they couldnt pour even more money into that project as it simply wasnt profitable.

The big youtubers rely on sponsorship money way more than ad money. But sponsorship money is dependent on viewership numbers, so that is the main issue

Absolutely true for the time the article was written (2017). He changed his ways after the Christchurch attacks which happened in 2019.

Ah yes, looks like piefed.social is currently having an outage or trouble. That explains it

For some reason I can not access the new community coming from piefed.zip . Fetching it fails.

I’ve seen stuff from minds.com on my mastodon timeline quite a while ago, so it must have been at least some time now that they’re federated
