@stux @Gargron I worry that the lack of #search and #discovery features in fedi are going to be a major headache for most #birdsite power-users and the core #mastodon community is going to resist change on this front.But, I'll make popcorn, I guess.

@atrupar difficult to forget about if you live in Iowa right now. Every day is another piece of hard right legislation that even the Republican voters mostly don't like.

@boilingsteam @grumpygamer Earl Haas invented the tampon in 1931. Any more brilliantly wrong observations?

@lowqualityfacts there are literally Google reviews for my local county jail, including this 5* gem:"Best food out of local jails. I haven't been there for a while, thank God, but it really ain't bad. 10/10 would get arrested again."

@Wolven there's no practical way to do it. "Your" data has already been aggregated, profiled and modeled into so many secondary and tertiary sets it's impossible to say if it's "deleted" from those or not. And you already agreed to let them do this.

@Wolven well no. They can take out your explicit first order data. But that's where it ends. You can't untrain an LLM from only your data once it's been trained on it. And the GDPR doesn't specify that they should.

@Wolven how is it fundamentally different for i.e. a public health researcher to do scraping of blog posts to do textual sentiment analysis for outbreak modeling, than for a company to do the same thing and build an LLM training set with it?I'm concerned there are unintended downstream consequences of the "burn it all down" mindset.

@lowqualityfacts an ant can't be speaker if they have allegiance to a queen or bear a title of royalty.This is why a spider is clearly a better choice.
