Yeah, but Nintendo hasn’t won a lawsuit, which means the code isn’t illegal to share. They just convinced GitHub to take it down.

Wow, this is a high quality comment.

I guess it’s understandable to be concerned about licensing when putting money and work into a project like this, but I still hope they change their mind.

So I should look into hosting docket on my pi and upgrade as soon as I feel like it?

It’s there any way around this? I don’t want my smart home applications to run sluggish. They need to have priority.

Can you tell me a good scanner with integrated OCR? I used to love vflat, but they took a dark turn with a pricey subscription plan

There’s (almost) always the option to buy media on blueray or similar.

I’m curious why someone who is able to afford 40TB of drive space is interested in piracy. Is it more about archiving and ownership than saving a buck?

I guess that’s a possibility. But I think most artists want their work (at least their studio records) to be available to as many listeners as possible. I think paywalling most content will not be successful for the artist nor the record label. (The same way exclusivity deals with streaming services haven’t really worked out).

But I wouldn’t really mind paying 1 dollar per artist for some bonus tracks, when I know that when 6000 people do the same they will be able to succeed financially

I looked at it, but got kinda confused. The instance I logged in didn’t seem to share any music with other instances.

That’s a great point. While I don’t think streaming services can uphold their low prices (and I’m also happy to pay 20 bucks when the artists gets a fair share) I think buying all albums you maybe wanna listen to is way to expensive. Buying music also raises the barrier to discovering new music and cultivatinng a diverse taste in music.

I agree that it’s a great way to support your artist, but honestly I don’t think it stands a chance to become as big as streaming services. The convince of being able to explore almost every artists catalogue at the touch of a button is just too good. (Also great for sharing music or creating a shared playlist)

I think the problem of storage space is also often overlooked. Not everyone has enough storage on their device. (I know I didn’t, when I still used MP3s on a modern smartphone)

I think the human component is even more important than the technical. The inventor of the facebook like button kind of regrets his invention. He didn’t forsee all the bad consequences (people being excluded by getting few likes and people doing everything (even dangerous things) for likes and validation)

That’s a great idea, but I don’t know if it fits this platform. What makes Lemmy (and Reddit) great for me is that I can follow specific communities (specific video games, movies, kinks…)

Ah, I see how that could make a difference 👍 I’m wondering wich sorting algorithm should be used by default.

When sorting by best I come across post I’ve already seen after about 15 minutes. (But maybe that’s more of a feature than a bug; 15 minutes per day is probably just the right and healthy amount of Lemmy 😅)

I don’t have the perfect plan yet, but the way you show posts to users (ranking and interface) can have a huge impact on how users interact (think of “allow all cookies” but in a way that incentives the good in people)

One quite intrusive solution would be a popup asking you if you really read (or skimmed) the article before up/downvoting if you haven’t clicked the link yet. Something like:

Do you really wanna vote based on the heading alone? Take me to the article Yes, let me vote

We are definitely off to a good start :D Still there are starting to show problematic signs

In some news communities people are obviously upvoting news article based on nothing more than the headline. This creates an environment where only articles with polarizing headlines succeed, and a real discussion becomes impossible

That makes sense. On Reddit the small communities were always drowned out when using multireddits (worst when sorting by best of the month)

I have an idea for news communities:

When a post is just a link to an article (so no other context) you should be required to click on the link before voting, to incentive users to at least skim the article. Of course posts would get less votes (wich needs to be taken into account when ranking) but voting on headlines alone is useless and bad for informed discussions.

Yeah, you’re right. I used them often
