I previously framed the resistance against copyright is a tragedy in three parts, from anti-copyright to free software and copyleft to free culture and the so-called creative commons. But this fourth act is tragicomic. AI as Détournement.
AI is the recuperation of the anti-copyright critique.“Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it.” Lautréamont, 1870

I don't know if it sucks, I just know there were no bangers that make me want to hear a specific track again. I can't even name a single track from it right now.
It was definitely TOOL. But that's just not enough.
Microsoft sure is saying the quiet part out loud.

"I remember a couple years ago talking to a local businessman about Project Connect. 'If it doesn't go to the airport, what's the point?' he asked.
This is the kind of comment that would probably prompt vigorous nods of approval at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon but would make heads explode at a gathering of transit experts.
The idea that the purpose of public transit is to facilitate air travel is a more absurd version of the notion, popular among Sunbelt elites, that the point of public transit is to facilitate car travel by reducing car traffic.
(For the same reason that expanding highways doesn't reduce traffic, nor will public transit. The point of transit is not to make it easier to drive, it is to offer an alternative to driving.)"
Exactly.
And should the train go to the airport?Jack Craver (The Austin Politics Newsletter)
Hello, we've just done a bugfix release of #GoToSocial v0.20.3, codename "Most Sinister Sloth 😈😈😈😈😈"!
codeberg.org/superseriousbusin…
This release contains some bugfixes for annoying little API issues, updates to robots.txt to forbid more so-called "ai" (🤢) crawlers, and a bugfix for polite interaction requests that will be useful when v0.21.0 comes out in a couple weeks.
If you're updating to this version from v0.20.0, v0.20.1, or v0.20.2, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.
If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.20.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.20.0, but replace 0.20.0 with 0.20.3 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.20.x contains some potentially very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!
If you are currently on a snapshot / nightly build, stay on the snapshot / nightly build, as it's already ahead of this release.
Thanks for reading!
Here's version 0.20.0 of GoToSocial, **Sinister Sloth**. It's been a long summer of gently poking and prodding at the sloth's tummy and sides to make xem giggle.Codeberg.org
