| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The KDE organization has become important in the world, and your time and labor have helped to bring it there! But as we grow, it’s going to be equally important that this stream of labor be made sustainable, which primarily means paying for it. Right now the vast majority of KDE runs on labor not paid for by KDE e.V. (the nonprofit foundation behind KDE, of which I am a board me | Apr 28 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | mber), and that’s a problem. We’ve taken steps to change this with paid technical contractors—but those steps are small due to growing but still limited financial resources. If you’d like to help change that, consider donating today! </p> | Apr 28 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> Otherwise, visit https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved to discover other ways to be part of a project that really matters. Each contributor makes a huge difference in KDE; you are not a number or a cog in a machine! You don’t have to already be a programmer, either. I wasn’t when I got started. Try it, you’ll like it! We don’t bite! </p> | Apr 28 05:07 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR2]: I loved that movie, Chernobyl, especially the part about how the Soviets didn't know how the reactor exploded, and they didn't want to know. Everyone was running around demanding a list of people to blame. | Apr 28 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | It's not really a Soviet problem so much as it is a human one, of course. | Apr 28 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | When I had an on the job accident once, the plant manager pretended like he was my best friend and shit happens and we get to the hospital, and then he had the doctor claim I was fit to return to work with my head bleeding and a concussion. | Apr 28 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | And when we got back to the plant, he whips out his little clipboard and writes me up, for being injured, in an accident that was caused by faulty machinery. | Apr 28 07:23 |
| DaemonFC | I got a wake up call into how organizational structures work, and it was cemented by police encounters where they really don't care what happened, and they don't want to know. They'll act like your best friend and then out comes the knife, if you let them. | Apr 28 07:24 |
| DaemonFC | In the case of the police, you have the right not to talk to them. I suggest you use it. | Apr 28 07:25 |
| DaemonFC | If you say anything, it should be limited to something entirely unrelated to what they're investigating, you, anyone involved in the incident, and so on. | Apr 28 07:26 |
| DaemonFC | The fuckers screwed up charging me. | Apr 28 07:27 |
| DaemonFC | Instead of correcting them, I just played along with their mistake. When they realized their mistake, it was too late to fix it. | Apr 28 07:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "Hi AJS, thanks for the insightful comment (and for drawing my attention to 'A History of the World According to Getty Images' - I will have to go and watch it now!). <br /><br />You are absolutely right that the protection available under contract law is limited, given restrictions will only bind parties to the contract. There might however be ways of expanding a contractual restriction into a quasi-property entitlements (consider | Apr 28 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | attempts to do so via viral open source or copyleft licences, or the possibility of embedding 'browsewrap' contractual restrictions into the metadata of an Hey Hi (AI) generated file). <br /><br />While individual Hey Hi (AI) generated works might be generated by users and placed online (and therefore downstream users might not be bound by a contractual restriction between the initial user and platform on use of those individual i | Apr 28 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | mages for training), I suspect that the real value that Surveillance Giant Google and Meta will want to protect will be in licensing large scale synthetic training data - the creation of millions of images on demand for training the next generation of generative Hey Hi (AI) tools. Those large scale uses of generative Hey Hi (AI) tools are much more likely to involve situations where contract can bite.<br /><br />While this piece is | Apr 28 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | only focused on the position under UK law, it is worth noting that the Ryanair case is from the CJEU, and similar issues may play out in EU member states (for an EU perspective on contract and the EU TDM exceptions where this is touched upon, see Kretschmer et al in Copyright Law and the Lifecycle of Machine Learning Models at section 4.4 - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40319-023-01419-3). I am still reading up on the | Apr 28 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | US position, which might turn on the relevant Circuit's approach to the pre-emption doctrine in s 301(a) of the US Copyright Act (compare ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg, 86 F.3d 1447 with Universal Instruments Corp. v. Micro Sys. Eng’g, Inc., 924 F.3d 32 - it is worth tracking down some of Guy A. Rub's scholarship on the issue)." | Apr 28 14:18 |
