Ah yes I'll just install this little train game to escape a bit from all the horrible things in the world for a bit... first dialog that pops up...
@ehashman It's alright I'll slowly chip away at it. I learned from my dogs, they are masters at it!
It's a huge failure that we still need a license in order to own a TV in this country. Less than 20% of households with a TV actually pay the license, and the SABC can probably still sustain themselves without it. For me it's just another annoying bit of annual admin that I could do without. Grrr.
@ed Yeah except that that framework is vague enough to allow for licenses that put severe restrictions on how people could use such models which would at least not make it dfsg-free.
@eons @JamesWidman @mcc Personally I'm not concerned about my training data. I never liked the idea of twttr DMs and never used them. As for my own feed, it was mostly "Free software = good", ACAB, etc so let the bots feed on that if they want.
@mcc Valid point. In my case, years ago, I used to put my twttr handle on things like slides etc. And I'd rather have a "this isn't available" than have some of my old stuff link to someone elses stuff. Which, will probably eventually happen but hopefully X is properly dead by then.

@dansup If it helps, my dog had this too and it turned out to be nothing, and they surgically removed the lumps in 2018 and there were no after effects since.
@sidereal A group that I was a bit impressed by invited me to join them... but then I learned they co-ordinate purely on Discord and Trello and... yeah I haven't responded to them again.
@LALegault That is exactly the problem. They would rather give the country over to Trump than do what's right anyway. They are acting purely in the interest of their own short-term benefit, and at the same time they are saying "If you don't vote for us, it's YOU who are bad because your'
re enabling Trump", but in reality, Biden is a total an utter failure. He vowed to bring decency to the White House. Many didn't particularly like him, but believed him on that at least.
