I just don’t see the use of self hosting these just for myself. I guess that’s why so little people do this?

What are some interesting things to host?

How annoying waiters are. I don’t need small talk and I don’t need you asking if everything’s okay every five minutes. Just let me eat in peace!

funded by an actual business.

You’re talking like that’s a good thing?

Multiple ways.

Companies can completely erase the idea of ownership. If everything is subscription-based, they can simply stop the subscription and have no further obligations.

Or Europe just gets completely locked out of functionality, as already happens in some European countries.

Of course good things can come from this, but I’ve read here several times that this just isn’t a good proposition and might just lead to the anti-consumer practices disappearing in a negative way too.

Or kill it completely. The only reason I’ve held off signing this is that the wording is so vague that it could work in favor of gaming companies. I’d rather not see that.

It’s a web app wrapped in Tauri. So basically a desktop app, but the web app can be hosted too.

I’ve read through your links. They don’t have much to do with the codebase itself, but with protecting the trademarks.

From what I read, you’re free to change whatever you want. You just can’t go around using their trademarked names for your modified version.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I have less problems with the “luxury” items, such as cigars.

They’re usually hand-crafted expensive stuff that’s made to enjoy once and a while, compared to cigarettes which are mass produced with the sole purpose to get you addicted.

I think the same is true with alcohol. There’s the cheap, mass produced stuff vs the more expensive “hand”-crafted stuff.

I wish we could just enjoy these things without corporations trying to get us addicted to them at every opportunity, disregarding any of the dangers associated with consuming them.

It also raises red flags about what they (hopefully don’t) have in mind for the future

I think this applies to the EU too.

I guess I do?

Visualizing stuff isn’t quite the outline one, there’s more detail. But thinking of some paintings, I can’t quite recall the colors.

Yeah, only some bottles do that

I pay my delivery drivers exactly 0 tips. They’re paid a living wage, no tips needed.

It’s an insanely high tip

No, I would tell you to avoid Ghent at all costs then!

Just make sure to avoid Brussels. Belgian myself and I hate the place.

Stopped there for a day on the way back from Spain. The walled Hamlet is beautiful, especially nice to stroll through the streets after dark.

I mean, yeah. Only one of both groups had both experiences.

Child free people love to shit on an experience they know nothing about, sure parents are ready to reply to those.

Nobody is telling people to have children…

No, you have it the other way around. It means copyright owners can share “corrupted” versions of their works and the AI can still use it. Possible AI leaks won’t return the original work, since it was never used.

Of course I think this is only one aspect of why artists wouldn’t share their works, but it’s not the point the paper is trying to make. They’re just giving an aspect of how it could be useful.
