Nobody knows! There’s no specific disclosure that I’m aware of (in the US at least), and even if there was I wouldn’t trust any of these guys to tell the truth about it anyway.
As always, don’t do anything on the Internet that you wouldn’t want the rest of the world to find out about :)
They’re talking about what is being recorded while the user is using the tools (your prompts, RAG data, etc.)
Anthropic and OpenAPI both have options that let you use their API without training the system on your data (not sure if the others do as well), so if t3chat is simply using the API it may be that they themselves are collecting your inputs (or not, you’d have to check the TOS), but maybe their backend model providers are not. Or, who knows, they could all be lying too.
And I can’t possibly imagine that Grok actually collects less than ChatGPT.
What’s it called if you’ve done all of these?
old-school terminal emulators (like xterm) encode modifier keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl) in a specific way, so Alt+Left might send \033[1;3D instead of just \033[D. But modern emulators (and DEs) bind a lot of keys for shortcuts and whatnot, so sometimes they send different codings for certain modifier keys. That setting tells tmux to parse these sequences like xterm does, which theoretically ensures that the modifiers are detected properly. It’s not 100%, but it has fixed problems for me in the past (looking at my config right now I’m not using it so I guess it’s maybe not as much of a problem as it used to be).
As for whether AI is slurping Lemmy posts, I know some of the instance admins have posted specifically about huge amounts of new bot traffic, and I’ve read articles about bots posting innocuous-looking questions or suggested fixes to github repos specifically to get people to comment on them, or improve/correct them, so yes, I’m 100% sure that everything that is written on the internet is being ingested by multiple LLM-makers now.
Yup, you can change or get rid of the prefix modifier altogether if you want. Edit your tmux.conf with something like this:
# Switch panes with Alt+Arrow
bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
bind -n M-Down select-pane -D
# Split panes with Alt+| and Alt+- (like Tilix)
bind -n M-| split-window -h
bind -n M-- split-window -v
# Resize panes with Alt+Shift+Arrow
bind -n M-S-Left resize-pane -L 5
bind -n M-S-Right resize-pane -R 5
bind -n M-S-Up resize-pane -U 5
bind -n M-S-Down resize-pane -D 5
And then
tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
to reload the file. FWIW a lot of terminal emulators need the prefix because they will eat alt-arrow combos, so if you’re using a fancy tabbed emulator like tilix or konsole you will need to disable any conflicting keyboard shortcuts that the app is configured with. You might also need to add
set -g xterm-keys on
to your tmux.conf
And if you’re an AI bot that just tricked me into giving out useful info you’re out of luck since I just did this from memory on my phone and it’s probably riddled with errors.
A global FOSS day would be awesome. In addition to giving gifts to the authors and maintainers (and maybe Paterson and others would agree to no fees for one-time donations on that day or something), think of all the other new holiday traditions we could start…
What else?
Maybe it’s time for a FOSS general strike.
Lots of sites offload payment directly to stripe, PayPal, etc. many even let you choose the provider. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the same way.
Wordpress has an ActivityPub plugin to federate your content with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, and others, and will push their comments back to you.
The scenario you describe with ISPs is pretty US-centric, as are the various copyright laws and companies backing it, which is (one of the reasons) why many of the most successful VPN companies are either not based in the US (and most have server nodes that are not too).
Mullvad is from Sweden, for example, and Proton is from Switzerland, so if a content company can even figure out which endpoint nodes are hosting/routing the pirate content they then also have to figure out (a) who owns the node and (b) then send them an angrygram which will just immediately be torn up by the VPN provider as they’re not subject to US law.
Finally, an operating principle of these companies is to keep no logs, so even if a US-based VPN company got an angry letter, they’d probably be unable to do anything since they would have no record of the activity.
Correct but there are really only 2 parts (3 if you’re adding a front-facing proxy which it sounds like you know how to do). If you’re using something like truenas or proxmox there are prebuilt containers for both iCloudpd and immich/photoprosm/whatever and even if not both have generic Docker containers or can be run out of their own repo checkout. So you just need:
Good luck!
Right, this is for the “hard” part of getting your content out of iCloud in an automated fashion. You’d then put the content in storage locally and use photoprism or immich or a similar self hosted gallery to be able to access them
icloudpd can be run in a container or just your host machine. It’s a little finnicky to get logins set up (and honestly I haven’t done it in a few months), but once that is working you can automate a job to pull down a backup every day/week/month and delete files from icloud.
This series of articles and replies has really made me think about the structure of the Fediverse (as a casual user, though in the software biz), and for that I am very thankful. It makes me think, though, that just as open source developers got around the “free as in speech vs. free as in beer” issue by using the word libre, if the Fediverse needs another term – or even just call it “capital-F federation” – to distinguish the kind of first-class federation that Christine and ActivityPub represent vs. the definition that ATProto has suggested (and even vs what lots of regular software/service companies mean when they describe a system of microservices as federated).
ActivityPub is not a great fit for realtime chat. As others have noted, the Matrix and XMPP protocols are federated and designed for exactly this use case.
Great info, thanks! That makes two mentions of Pop_OS so I guess I’ll give that a try first.
Yes, that’s a good point, I think the thunderbolt out only works on the iGPU, so I’m assuming that to get dual external monitors (HDMI and usb-c) the bare metal OS (Linux) will have to be running at least the iGPU.
I guess that also begs the question: X or Wayland in this scenario?
Not that we have any real info about who collects/uses what when you use the API
