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.
Not a crypto hater so much as the idea of it goes.
It’s a lot like the rest of the internet: anonymous things moving and interacting can be unpredictable. From what I’ve seen on the dark net, I’d assume we will see the same extremes manifesting in transactions; that is that it will be very helpful for crimes, but also very helpful for ppl who need weed medically but can’t get it legally, ppl who need money because they are pursued politically, or ppl in other dire circumstances.
It’s all very complex, and I think there is a legit good reason for it. That said, I’m not the person to judge what outweighs, I just know it’s far more complex than “crypto bad” or “crypto yes”. Let’s just hope whoever will be in this position is far knowledgeable in that regard than me.
Sincerely, a small developer and 3d artist.
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.
Ooooh can we sue them? I’d love to sue them. Shout it out loud that they are purposely manipulating users and investors into thinking how bad Lemmy is and how many ppl have opinions.
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.
That’s a big yikes and I hope they will find another way…
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.
On one hand I agree, on the other hand the original point of contention was price per request, and less people = less requests.
Then again that means less ppl to maybe make enough of a margin to cover development and maintenance costs.
It’s Def gonna be interesting, just a little complex.
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
wtf
isn’t that censorship and therefore not conforming with EU laws? I might be wrong here but I just can’t see this having a solid legal basis.
really good idea.
maybe you should pitch this on the forums or something…
ngl I have a feeling the Devs will probably not listen to your feedback even though it’s really valuable, because DE already announced they started work on a different game and I would bet a lot of money that’s basically all of their priority right now. that said, it’s always worth a try.
oh god you’re right - it will be the ultimate hung jury and it will be annoying af.
the good thing is, in the current climate I can’t see Trump getting reelected.
and it is those mythical lizards with just above average intelligence that we need to fear.
For some reason, this whole chaos is more true to the Reddit I know than everything has been for the last years.
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
The dream.
They should make Reddit pay 20mio per month per third app they killed off. Sweet revenge.
