I think it’s much more impressive that stuff that was added in 2018 and 2019 has a much higher probability of being deleted today than if it was added 2017…
Wonder if that has anything to do with covid and maybe new businesses models opened 2 years before failing and therefore websites of this companies disappeared.
Also I think it would be nice to see a graph of new websites being opened other the same time span.
From what I read technically “Android” is used as the most popular smartphone OS in China. But that’s only because android is the foundation of costume Chinese OS that comes without any google services (nice) but is also highly restricted against side loading. Of course like always ways should exist to workaround those restrictions.
But to be honest getting information about all the restrictions people in china need to suffer from getting harder l with every day since they get encapsulated more and more.
I don’t know if this was just a joke or you really mean it that way.
I would partially agree that there are a lot of similarities between Mao and Trump, but current situation in USA is nowhere near current situation in china.
I’m quite sure they will only allow this in EU (and maybe USA). If they do allow this in China, Regime will most probably ban every alternative app Store… if this is not already banned.
Thought and prayers to the people of china. I feel like they lost everything in 1989. Still hope they find the strength to get rid of this depressing system.
Exactly. ChatGPT is just the most prominent service using a LLM. Would be less concerned about the hype if all the free training data from thousand of users would go back into an open system.
Maybe AI is not stealing our jobs but if you get depending on it in order to keep doing your job competitive, it would be good if this is not controlled by a single company…
Did we mentioned that it is closed source proprietary service controlled by only one company that can dictate the terms of it’s usage?
And now they also have to pay back like 2 billion dollar of investor money… What sense does this make?
There are always all kind of directions and forces in all of politics not only in EU.
That’s why we need to always watch the voted representants all the time. Sadly many people only see democracy as something you started to deal with two weeks before an main election…
I do not understand how this should be interconnected. Why would the chat control law make Linux illegal? And isn’t this a completely different topic? OPs post was about “Cyber Resilience Act” and like zero_iq already explained Open Source software is explicitly excluded from this.
But beside this I thing the chat control law is a very bad idea that really need more focus in mainstream media.
I think you misunderstood the purpose of this. This is not for citizens to join it’s an instance for government officials and offices. This is very good practice to prove a account is the official account.
But honestly I have more trust in my government to not exploit on me then I have in meta/Twitter.
Oh man… UK is so f* up right now. Hope times get better for you soon.
If I understood this correct from my interpretation of the dutch server description this is an Instance for dutch government officials.
At least Germany also has such a mastodon instance too for quite a while now. So people on mastodon know that an account there is officially a government account. The BSI (German Office for cyber security) and other offices post there.
This is not an Instance for “normal people” to register on.
Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.
