Pinta is a fork of an older version of paint.net: https://www.pinta-project.com/ I have no idea if it is any good. I just thought that this might solve your problem.

Which distro are the Germans switching to?

I just copied the title of the Reuters article. It was their exclusive reporting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Social media platform Reddit has struck a deal with Google to make its content available for training the search engine giant’s artificial intelligence models, three people familiar with the matter said.

The contract with Alphabet-owned Google is worth about $60 million per year, according to one of the sources.

The deal underscores how Reddit, which is preparing for a high-profile stock market launch, is seeking to generate new revenue amid fierce competition for advertising dollars from the likes of TikTok and Meta Platform’s Facebook.

The sources were not authorized to speak to media and declined to be identified.

Reddit and Google declined to comment. Bloomberg previously reported Reddit’s content deal without naming the buyer.

Last year, Reddit said it would charge companies for access to its application programming interface (API) - the means by which it distributes its content. The agreement with Google is its first reported deal with a big AI company.

San Francisco-based Reddit, which has been looking at a stock float for more than three years, is preparing to make its initial public offering filing this week, which would detail its financials for the first time to potential IPO investors. The filing could be available as early as Thursday, two of the sources said.

The company, which was valued at about $10 billion in a funding round in 2021, is seeking to sell about 10% of its shares in the offering, Reuters has previously reported.

Reddit’s stock market launch would mark the first IPO of a major social media company since Pinterest floated its shares in 2019.

Makers of AI models have been busy clinching deals with content owners in recent months, aiming to diversify their training data beyond large scrapes of the internet. That practice is rife with potential copyright issues as many content creators have alleged that their content was used without permission.

Founded in 2005 by web developer Steve Huffman and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, Reddit is known for its manifold niche discussion groups, some of which boast tens of millions of members.

What is MLS?

Read the issues on that git and you’ll see that it only works on comments visible from your profile which has a maximum limit. It doesn’t get everything, because of that profile limit. There is a python script listed in there but it requires an API key.

Look at the issues and you will notice it only works on comments visible from the profile page and that not all are visible. It appears that someone made a python script to solve this problem but that you need an API key to use it.

What’s the best method to mass edit my comments?

Yeah I think for fascists the opportunity for becoming a little mini-dictator over their respective area of the state is very tempting.

They think fear is respect or they are pointing to the fascist minority factions within those countries as their source of information. Let’s call it The Fascist International.

I just want to add a caveat (while basically agreeing with frezik) that proponents of the unitary executive theory thought that Bill Barr was a total crackpot. So, it’s more like Barr was trying to rehabilitate fascism through an already existing term that makes fascism sound respectable.

Sorry, Snapz, we’re discontinuing steaks to keep our restaurant stock value going up.

In a podcast I listen to where tech people discuss security topics they finally got to something related to AI, hesitated, snickered, said “Artificial Intelligence I guess is what I have to say now instead of Machine Learning” then both the host and the guest started just belting out laughs for a while before continuing.

I just started to block people who are lying or saying things in bad faith and I think it’ll clean up my experience really quickly.

Once I got to college and took real critical thinking classes in philosophy I was shocked at how pathetic the English classes were where we imitated the tools and concepts we would learn and apply in college. I think that people who study English do not learn critical thinking well enough in most cases and are better at teaching composition and the reading of fictional stories.

Yes. In college libraries I remember opening handbooks on critical thinking and they were as you said.

Here is one that is available online for free as an open access PDF and has all of the best and current science on many aspects of rationality from cognitive science to philosophy: https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edited-volume/5525/The-Handbook-of-Rationality

You can even tweak how it saves the files, what format it outputs, whether it retains subtitles (if they are included in the video), and you can make it spit out a metadata file to go along with the video file which would be useful to keep track of the content or if you use some kind of video library management software that wants publishing date information, author, etc.

If you use Firefox you can turn on the thing that they just enabled in Germany by going to about:config and setting these options:

• cookiebanners.service.mode 2
• cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing 2

They are both set to ‘0’ right now.

They are testing this setting, so if something goes wrong then change it back.

Caveat: I just learned this on Lemmy in some other thread I can’t find again.

Where should I migrate to?
