... they want a handful of transnational corporate DataFarmers to subsidise it instead. Through government-imposed mandates to pay for commercial license on uses like linking and quoting, which don't violate copyright (or they could take legal action on those grounds).

#stuff We've seen the effects of AI generated news long ago: cheap staff churning out poor material without actual journalism. Rewriting press releases and formulating uneducated guesses that in theory are later checked by editors. That never turns out well, and using ChatGPT or whatever as cheap staff is going to result in the same sorry situation.

I think must really be doing the #good #stuff now..
I tossed my #O2 that previously NEVER had a #network into the ol ryoko #router and it currently:
• has 3 bars of #lte conn
• actually works ( #wtf ?!)
I walked through the entire town weeks ago:
0 reception
And now it just works ??
(Did my router have some vodafone setting leftover or something??)
It says #Eplus as it used to say in the ood city
I'm SO #confused ...
And then, there are those precious few moments, you see some stupid shit on the #social #networking #stuff .... and...
Because of reasons, you actually have to buy the fscking thing, for real...
Where it started, more or less:

Water Rocket! Sprinkler Toy
How it's going (include amazon search here).
It was about 18€ for me overall (incl shipping, lets say, maybe 20 bucks overall in us)..
And the grandchildren of my landlord-neighbour (3yrs and 1yr rn) will absolutely love it in the upcoming year......
It was _just_ a day to late for this years summer season....

This week's Midweek MediaWatch quoted comments made about political polls on the Newsable podcast. David Farrar of polling company Curia - which produces polls for the National party - admitted that poll results released close to an election can influence the election results:
