Hmm, you’re talking about the little red warning triangle? In theory this could be cool if it was something each instance could configure using custom url-lists (as you know we all don’t agree on which perspective is “right”) but if it’s coming packaged with PieFed, then I would call that inherent bias in the product. 🤨
Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of it myself and don’t see the need for it really. If that’s right about the baked-in blocklist, then this was the right choice. You should be able to craft your own blocklists, if you so choose to.
Personally I don’t see why the views of those that write software should really concern us, as long as the technical implementation is not biased. It’s open-source and people can take it and do with it what they please. No-one is forcing you to accept certain views or think about things critically (including assessing others viewpoints that may be different to yours). I feel like it’s a bit of a waste of time to worry about these things.
Lmao, who is this guy? db0 is cool, and so is Quokka 🤣 What a cooker. (p.s. will this get me added to the list?)
They won’t if it’s more expensive? A small portion of people are buying it, but more would if tbe price was at least at parity.
This is unrelated to the post, China is using the same source material, they are just never going to be sued for using it 😁
I think facial recognition technology is very different to threw diverse software. The fact that those technologies are trained on predominantly-white data is no surprise, both of your examples are data-based (ML models) where the data itself contains the bias.
I am talking more of the open-source projects, it’s important; as you rightfully call out, that we have a varied group of opinions within the developer group 👍
