so, (barely) reading between the lines of what Twitch's staff said:

1) they were forced by Amazon to add the AI training setting and to make it opt-out, because the overlords know perfectly well there's no reason anyone would ever opt-in

2) the actual Twitch staff who run Twitch do not like this and are of the same mind about it as all of you

3) Taking the time to opt-out, even if you don't really stream, gives them data to take to meetings with their overlords to prove that Twitch users dislike AI and pushing it too hard will drive people from the site.

People who are bummed when they only get 5 or 6 boosts don't seem to realize that that is 90% of all active accounts in the Fediverse.

#FediHood is now available!

Talk with people near you. A local chat on the #Fediverse where you share only your city, never your exact location. You adjust your timeline with distance and topic filters.

It's in early beta and web only for now. It connects to the whole Fediverse, and you can send #E2EE DMs between FediHood and Holos users. The source code will be published soon. Don't hesitate to share!

I always suspected a UK government would eventually reverse course on "coding in public".

So I've been backing up all government code. For six years.

Today I finally generated a report on what has been deleted. Its much worse than I realised.
