Codeberg was asking about this. The linked toot by a commenter points to :

SEqlite

They are minimal. They provide the data you probably care about and the data you need to comply with the original license in SQLite format.

Honest question: Why?

IMHO stack exchange is basically reddit/lemmy with hand cuffs because no threaded discussions and every other question is closed as off topic. I don’t understand what another stack exchange would buy anybody.

I guess one thing stack exchange does well is “related questions” and tagging, but… I dunno. (shrugs)

Honest question: Why?

You missed the StackExchange and AI story this week ?

And guess what, it can be done just as easily, if not, more easily on a federated instance. You don’t gain at real additional control over your data (and no putting “covered under license X” is about as realistic as those Facebook posts saying “I don’t give anyone access to my posts”).

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, realistically the only way to control your data from AI is a DRM type solution which everyone fundamentally hates.

I don’t think this can be solved with any type of technology. It needs legislation. These AI companies need regulation.
