There's a wide gap between "rely on lies" and "be forced to lie".

Youtube vids doesn't use DRM, at least not for the free offerings.
In fact, via yt-dlp you can download Youtube stuff in a variety of free formats.
Cope.
Welcome to language. It evolves.
Or perhaps, from your point of view, it's getting enshittified. Even if you don't like it.
Or we can just drop DRM from the Standard. It's honestly about 15 years past about time.
Some of these people even say that Firefox needs to get rid of Google funding immediately to get rid of Google’s influence.
Which is an importnt factor, because Mozilla is currently being kept alive specifcally to lose.
To be fair, those people (and lots others too) watch everyday some millionaires or billionaires just up and throwing money. Under that premise, it "should be as easy" as just convincing a random capitalist with narcissist complex to fund Mozilla. The problem with that is, people's memory on the internet tends to not be retrospeculative, so they don't notice if Mozilla did that they'd be in just about the same position eg.: Reddit was 5 years before 2023.
Want me to buy your media legally? Oh please, this is tremendously easy to do for a corporation!
- Downloadable files (you have files, right? Otherwise how are you streaming out the stuff)
- ...with open codecs (you are using an open codec right? Otherwise you have to encode your stuff like 10 times for 10 different devices each with its own idiosyncrasy)
- ...without DRM (you have clean copies right? it'd not be smart to base a business model on files you can't open, see the above)
- ...at an aggregate price that's lower than paying for TV cable (you can cash in only a bit, right? It's digital media and your competition is literally over-the-air TV with extra steps, it's not like you have the mother of pearl of cancer cures here)
Hello staff, this post please, how do I upvote thrice?
RCS is a 3GPP standard, the infrastructure to run already being paid for by my wireless bill. I would prefer people use it to talk to me.
Doesn't it depend exclusively on Google?
Is there a way to protect data/user contents in Lemmy/Mastodon against now rapidly rising AI s?
yes:
Don't publish it there. It's that simple.
"Impossible"? They just need to ask for permission from each source. It's not like they don't already know who the sources are, since the AIs are issuing HTTP(S) requests to fetch them.
No its the greatest weakness of the Fediverse.
By grouping them you could be on multiple
And sure, we can group them, link them, publish them in podcasts, whatever; but you specifically said merging them which involves only letting one of them exist. I've seen a couple good analyses on the issues with trying to artificially merge communities or limit creation of them, such as the points from this.
Lol you wish Linux was an equivalent to an iPhone in this analogy. Pretty analogy from you.
