D’un côté tu as un point, les employés ne sont surement pas payés équitablement dans plusieurs cas.

Par contre, je vois le point de l’article plutôt du côté de l’opinion publique d’une job de construction. C’est vrai que souvent, on ne considère pas assez la construction comme un emploi respectable. Les enfants surtout de notre génération se font dire que soit tu vas a l’université et trouve une “vraie” job ou bien tu prends la route facile et tu vas en construction.

Ce que je trouve dommage cest que l’article ne mentionne pas un point que je trouve important. Souvent les métiers comme maçon, contracteur, charpentier, etc. sont remplis de gens malhonnêtes qui n’ont pas de respect pour leur propre travail. Je parle d’expérience, c’est très difficile de trouver quelqu’un qui ne coupe pas les coins ronds et te surcharge pour un travail mal fait.

Cela dit, peut-être que le second est le résultat et le premier la cause. Mais c’est comme un cercle vicieux. Dans tous les cas, je pense que ce genre de travail est nécessaire et qu’un bon maçon, briqueleur, ou autre qui fait un travail de qualité est très apprécié de tout le monde.

Is that even possible? How do you know who downvotes you?

Just remove the key from their keyboard at this point or I think there is a way for windows to simply ignore it and keep it on all the time

It’s ridiculous that they would rather throw out all this product instead of just buying the domain back and serve a simple website. Goes to show how little the brand controls about their business.

Yea actually, that has a good “taste your own medecine” vibe

TBF, I don’t think the purpose of this watermark is to prevent bad people for passing AI as real. It would be a welcome side-effect but that’s not why google wants this. Ultimately this is supposed to prevent AI training data from being contaminated with other AI generated content. You could imagine if the data set for training contains a million images generated with previous models having mangled fingers and crooked eyes, it would be hard to train a good AI out of that. Garbage in, garbage out.

Not piracy but I appreciate the meme. It’s like someone handing you a book with a sticker on it that says “don’t read!”. You rip the sticker off and read it anyway. If you didn’t want me to read it, then why did you hand me the book!

Maybe that was their game with the federation stuff. “Hey we didn’t start this, we were just following suit on this open source project”. Anyway this logic wouldn’t fly in any court, they can’t have a copyright on text-based social media. They can only own their branding. Musk is just throwing a hissy fit again

I think one of the ways we could combat as well as defederating them from instances is provide such a good user experience to consume content on the fediverse that threads - or whatever else - becomes just a shittier, ad-ridden version of what we use.

Look at Reddit for example, if they didn’t have the power to remove our access to APIs, third party apps would still provide the best experience. Can any of the features Reddit provides that third party apps don’t justify the number of ads thrown in your face? Nope.

Same here, if we focus on improving the experience of a Lemmy or kbin user and ignore whatever meta is doing, nothing is stopping us from becoming just the better way of consuming all fediverse content. Then if threads were to drop federation, we would still have the upper hand.

The only thing that might hurt us in the end is if we start giving in and host communities on their instance. But if we don’t, and keep our ground, we can have the best of both worlds. See their content without their ads, and keep control of our own content, without their rules.
