A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A few days ago X introduced a new AI Image Editing button that lets any user modify images posted by others, even without the original uploader’s consent. Image owners are not notified when edits are made, and the feature is enabled by default with no opt-out option (at least not so far).

ive kept my acct so I can go read shit there when I want to see what someone wrote for a specific reason.

this'd be the camel's straw for my account as I used to post creative stuff

"read replies" prompts for log-on though.

Is Corey Doctorow racist? Molly White? Joe Biden? AOC? Bernie?No.

The correct answer is Social Graph.

There’s this other thing called Bluesky.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What does that have to do with anything?

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They could be using a platform that isn’t owned by a Nazi. Best approach though is using zero of them because fuck social media.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Yes but they're on Xitter, because Social Graph.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fair enough. They’re trying to reach the broadest audience they can. The sad part is the folks that will actually listen and give a shit is a dwindling number on Xitter. They’re better off posting to both if not already. A massive swath of users that would be more receptive moved to Bluesky or left social media entirely.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

Most of them are on several platforms. Some are not, which I agree is disappointing.

[–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fuck Social Graph.

Leftists staying on Shitter for audience is a display of weakness and shallow resistance.

If they moved, they would pull significant amount of users with them.

Fuck them for staying.

Once again, that has nothing to do with the conversation we're having. The question was why they haven't left Xitter.

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fuck Bluesky, all my homies hate Bluesky

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 1 week ago

I don’t use any of them but Twitter has been rife with dipshits and racists for a long time now.
