Do you license every comment of yours? If yes, why? Tbh i'm just curious

[-] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 7 points 4 months ago

Not every. The quick, very-low effort ones, I just leave.

Why:
I saw another post with "Anti Commercial AI License", then wen on to read the license and went, "Neat!".

  • It makes it easier for anyone to decide what to do if they want to use my comment/post (in cases where it actually has something useful)
  • It makes life just a bit harder for people data-mining for AI
    • That way, some data entry worker will probably ask for a raise and probably even get it and maybe some entrepreneur going "AI everywhere!" will think twice.
    • Or there will be a chatbot spouting "Anti Commercial AI License" or "CC By-NC-SA" in their answer text, which would be hilarious.

How are you inserting your signature? is it manually? Do you have some kind of keyboard shortcut to insert it?

For now, I have just saved it in my clipboard application, so I copy-paste.
When it goes out of history, I just open a file, where I have saved it and copy from there. So it's pretty crude.

I was hoping that either the KDE Social web interface would add a "Signature" feature or I would pick some Lemmy application that would allow that, but for now it's just this.

Perhaps, if I feel like it's being too frequent, I may set a compose key for it.

It's cute that you think data miners give a fuck about the license of anything they scrape.

It's unfortunate that despite explaining as properly as I could, my point was misinterpreted as me relying upon someone caring about licenses.
