@Ffangohr I need some context.

@dordio I have a binder for the negatives. I don't log anything at the moment.

Apparently, they were picked up by the hosting company Epik which also hosts Gab and The Daily Stormer.

@moragperkins I always get mine back for archival. Digital files could get lost or corrupted, or maybe I'll want a better scan in the future!

@_elena Try the official app too!

Bought some new #FerraniaFilm to try out. There aren’t that many photos taken with this film on here or Flickr, so I’m not quite sure what to expect. Now I just need to go somewhere interesting… 🥲

@ben @KevinMarks @davew One more thing. I am not a lawyer, but in my understanding the "default" license for any works you publish on the web is not "public domain", it is "no license". Content published on the fediverse cannot be used for anything, legally, except the intended function of the service. It is only if you want to to give more rights that you'd need "content licensing support". In that sense I also don't see this as a show stopper for federation today.

@ben @KevinMarks @davew It's worth noting that Glaze is neither a guarantee that something won't be ingested into an LLM, nor is it something that comes at absolutely no cost; depending on setting it creates visible artifacts similar to JPEG compression that I have seen artists complain about. I don't think Glaze is relevant to the federation discussion however.

@ben @KevinMarks @davew I remember we already talked about this yesterday. I think discussions about LLM training should be happening at the legal level, not technical, unless you want DRM. Personally, I do not want to advocate for DRM. I do not believe that robots.txt is an adequate defense against LLM training, and that the onus of keeping up with all LLM user agents should not be on website authors.

@KevinMarks @davew @ben I read that yesterday. From my reading of the Cara page, it is not making any promises about protecting art from ingestion into LLM datasets besides offering access to the Glaze tool. It's simply a place where generative AI slop is not allowed to be uploaded. In that sense I see no show stoppers for federation today. Artists want to be seen, makes no sense to self-isolate.
