The fines seem to be based on global revenue too so that 1.2B figure comes from 10% of global revenue which is much harder to justify as "cost of doing business".

I wonder if it can be used legally against the company behind the model, though. I doubt that it's possible, but having a "your own model says it effed up my data" could give some beef to a complaint. Or at least to a request to get a refund on the fees.

Not op, but I pay for my own server, domain and IP (though it is not a static one). And I've donated to some of the fediverse platforms that I use, like lemmy.world. I'm not sure what you are trying to get at?

Thing is, there are two different types of 5G. 5G NSA is using 5G, but on the same 4G network resulting in little to no speed change. And then there's 5G SA, the one you actually won't but probably isn't deployed anywhere outside major cities if that.

Cool quote, where did you get it from?

Here's a question regarding the informed consent part. The article gives the example of asking whether the recipient wants the AI's answer shared. "I had a helpful chat with ChatGPT about this topic some time ago and can share a log with you if you want." Do you (I mean generally people reading this thread, not OP specifically) think Lemmy's spoiler formatting would count as informed consent if properly labeled as containing AI text? I mean, the user has to put in the effort to open the spoiler manually.

I've been running the same matrix instance since ubuntu 18.04lts, just upgraded the virtual machine along the ride, so that has to be +6 years it's been running 24/7. I have not once rebooted my server due to performance reasons (like a mem leak). And like last 4 years I've ran the instance virtualized on a hp thin client, lately on a hp t640. While I understand the criticism towards synapse being a complex and slow, and element being slow-ish, I don't feel justified saying synapse would need any restarts in general. At least I have never restarted it in 6+ years and my instance has been working without those required restarts. Yeah, I miss the irc, too. I still use it via my matrix instance.

Really sad that S3 prices are still that high... also hetzner storage boxes
