If I’m understanding Greg correctly here, he’s saying it’s okay for people to use large language models …because they’re being forced to?

I would pay extra for cable service to have no money go to Fox.

Mastodon's legal updates are an important way to support different kinds of communities. It's great to see the Mastodon team grow to support these features. I'd love to see CC-licensed terms of service for communities to use.
Those features:
We rewatched Star Wars episode 4 last night, with frequent pausing to think about the context with Rogue One and check Wookieepedia for random details. So fun. Also lots of nitpicking about the special edition changes.
I should mention that you can follow my daveverse blog, which I write using WordLand, on Mastodon -- @scripting@daveverse.org. Mastodon preserves links and styling, and doesn't seem to have a size limit. I can edit my posts and you get the updates. So Mastodon kind of informally has become a blogging system, which I totally applaud. It checks a lot of the boxes on my textcasting manifesto. Slowly the world is starting to make sense.
Glitch announced they are shutting down hosting. Kudos to them for allowing redirects after everything winds down. That’s more than most companies do:
In the coming days, your dashboard will get a new feature to set up redirects for your project subdomains, so all your links will keep working. Make sure your redirects are set up before December 31, 2025. (We’ll make sure they stay active at least through the end of 2026.)
