Vegans don't have to only eat specially labeled vegan things, the only thing that qualifies a food as vegan is if it has no animal products in it. You can form a full vegan diet just from what you call "food food". Obviously you need variety though, and don't only eat rice.
The issue is that if you don't default to federation, it becomes essentially impossible for new instances to join the fediverse. A potential new instance would have to go around to every single existing instance and ask to be allowlisted, which is onerous for both the new instances and for the large server admins who would be getting tons of requests. It would also essentially kill small-scale selfhosting as a result.
I disagree. It would be better to set a precedent that using people's voices without permission is not okay. Even in your example, you're suggesting that you would have a Patreon while publishing mods that contain voice clips made using AI. In this scenario, you've made money from these unauthorized voice recreations. It doesn't matter if you're hoping to one day hire the VAs themselves, in the interim you're profiting off their work.
Ultimately though, I don't think it matters if you're making money or not. I got caught up in the tech excitement of voice AI when we first started seeing it, but as we've had the strike and more VAs and other actors sharing their opinions on it I've come to be reminded of just how important consent is.
In the OP article, Amelia Tyler isn't saying anything about making money off her voice, she said "to actually take my voice and use it to train something without my permission, I think that should be illegal". I think that's a good line to draw.
If they were regulating Instagram and Facebook, I'd actually be happier about it. It's not like the US is some bastion of digital privacy, and TikTok is bad because the data use is unregulated. Our own wholesome homegrown data brokers spy on us just as much, and they too do who knows what with the data.
American data brokers are no better, and are happy to sell data to foreign powers. Biden had to make an executive order about it recently. Blatant privacy invasion has become a standard practice in the tech industry, and there are a million different companies trading your information around. That's the real issue at play here, and TikTok is just one of many fish in the sea. My data might even be more valuable to American companies than Chinese ones, because the American ones stand to exploit me for more profit. Or they'll sell it to government (s), which... Yeah.
And of course TikTok could be sold. That's exactly what I was talking about with strongarming—sell your platform to a corporation in our jurisdiction, or else we cut you off from a huge part of your userbase. It's not really an option, it's an ultimatum. It'd be one thing if we regulated the use of that data, but we don't really—we don't have meaningful data privacy laws here, at least not that apply in this circumstance. We're being spied on just as badly. Forcing them to move here would just mean American agencies and companies would have more control over the platform, and more access to the data it generates, neither of which they've built much trust in their ability to do ethically.
They even show up in Star Trek Into Darkness as furless cat girls that the writer claims are the same species even though they're clearly not. Memory Alpha dutifully lists them on the Unnamed Caitian page, but amusingly doesn't actually call them Caitians explicitly.
To be fair, the text never refers to them as Caitians, it's just the writer saying it in an interview.

Ah, but there is an evil equivalent, Blasphemy. It affects non-evil creatures instead of non-good creatures, and as such has no self-balancing properties. There are even equivalents for Law and Chaos, which are... worryingly abstract.
They linked directly to the post on the Lemmy side, so I'm guessing it's an issue with how Mastodon handles Lemmy posts. I'm on a different Lemmy instance and I can see the direct link just fine.
Regardless of his sexuality, the chemistry between him and Ziyal seemed one sided. He clearly cared for Ziyal, but I always read it as him entertaining her more than genuine romantic feelings on his part.
"Whoops!"
Editing the systemd services seems a neat solution here. Rather than editing the package-provided service files directly, you can create overrides using
systemctl edit
.Another more hacky option would be to use the PostUp directive but account for the case there's no tailscale0 device yet. Write a simple shell script or something.
