back to the stars
I mean I know why ppl are scared it will kill off the fediverse, but the only thing that can kill off the fediverse is the Devs. As long as they don’t sell it or start involving a bigger company in the development, we are fine. And pull requests are transparent and therefore not a thread with enough common sense.
I see the risk but I don’t think it’s that imminent.
Interesting
Why the hell washe not awarded his whole fees? Maybe the jury didn’t think he’d been spending that much money? Well what an annoying outcome.
I might be ignorant, but where’s the relevant case law making copyright apply to AI?
I know that copyright definitely applies if you record things 1:1. I also know we’re on the brink of getting new laws regarding AI. But from what I know there’s still nothing that a lower court can safely rely on. And I’m talking EU, as well as US.
If I’m wrong please tell me, I’m excited to learn about what I missed.
As if bbc wouldn’t get you upvoted to oblivion
Man there’s literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that’s likes.
I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it’s a good or bad toot. There’s no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.
I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.
There are a lot of reasons for this general trend, but let me add my two cents to make a case for the sudden influx of user-opposed changes:
I don’t have a source for this, but I remember that Linus spoke about this on the LTT WAN-Show. Basically, abunch of big silicon valley investors are pulling out of all of the big platforms, therefore leaving them with a huge hole in their profitability. This means, that right now a lot of them are scrambling to scrape together more money over time, so all of those platforms are sustainable.
Obviously this has to observed in conjunction with all of those are trends that are already mentioned by other comments, but this gives more basis as to why now, and why to this extent.
If someone else knows what I’m talking about please add quotes and sources because I don’t like the good old ‘dude trust me’ guarantee one bit.
If the browser version works for you, that’s perfect. There’s no need to test out all the apps that are currently flying around.
To be honest from what you said I would advise against checking out the apps right now because all of them lack some features and will have some annoying bugs.
There’s a few apps on the way that promise to be really good, but that’s still a long way from stable release. If you wanna use them when they are useable, you should check the apps out at the end of the year, because that’s when a few more major things are figured out and the apps will be far more stable.
So why are ppl talking about the apps so much? All personal preference. Some are only using lemmy on their phones and with that in mind it’s important to know how to do that. But if that doesn’t phase you, that’s totally fine.
Hope you’re enjoying your time and happy lurking :)
Edit: I hate grammar
I don’t actually know what bad actors can do.
Well, you’re not gonna like this but every pentesting / vulnerability scan starts with a port scan. It’s really there to probe a PC for anything interesting. Although it’s not strictly illegal because you’re just kindly asking a PC to handover any meta information on what is currently running on the PC exposed to the internet, the trajectory is clear and in the contrast the goal is opaque which makes it shady af.
unfortunately liftoff is not at all working for me currently.
I logged in and now my subscribed community posts are just empty, which is the whole point.
I do wanna see where they go tho.
don’t worry, they’re coming. a bunch of bigger third party app Devs have said they will make an app for Lemmy, and that will include iOS apps as well I’m sure. it’s just a matter of time.
Definitely should put that on the git issues with log files and stuff.
that is giving me deja vu
he already hinted to pulling out of EU Code of Practice
I’m very interested what his game plan is, because he kind fucked himself by firing too many law compliance employees, at least thats what I remember.
absolutely agree, get them here and make this community even more vibrant
For some reason, this whole chaos is more true to the Reddit I know than everything has been for the last years.
I mean he always has the power to strongarm everyone else.
But the consequence is giant boycotts and decay. Idk if winning is the right word. It’s like going to war and declaring a win because both nations are destroyed.
Apple is really testing how long it takes until they get sued over it
In the past I would be pessimistic but nowadays the EU has been far more active with this stuff
It’s so impressive to see how the whole community is coming together to basically rebuild Reddit, but open source, and with all the feature everyone needed.
I’ll stay here forever if we keep it up.
It is. GDPR in the EU dictates that every user which requests their information has to get it in 30 days, and every user who removes their information has to be able to get it removed (I think the time span for that is even shorter, so more pressure for the server admins)
Interesting observation. I really wish anything we see could be trusted regarding the war rn, but fog of war is one hell of a thing. Let’s hope we will see everything that propaganda has pushed after the war is over.
