This graph really shows how the focus on boomers by millennials and my fellow zoomers is really just a distraction from the real issues of class and wealth inequality.

The most embarrassing thing is that they were so proud of this that they watermarked it.

NCD leans neocon if anything.

Mastodon doesn’t move posts.

Provide the ability for users to migrate their account and all associated data (posts, comments, moderation actions, saved posts, etc.) from one Lemmy instance to another.

To implement this feature you’d either have to:

• Edit the DB entries of every instance to match the new profile;
• Create copies of the old content on the new instance and federate that out, thus duplicating all the data. You could have it delete the old content, but you’d still need to recreate all the posts and comments.

Either of these would be very susceptible to abuse. Giving bad actors a button to force instances to run hundreds, potentially thousands, of operations probably isn’t the best of ideas.

It’s hard to give a direct source because he’s deleted quite a bit but this thread has a screenshot.

The person who runs it doesn’t recommend Lemmy because of the political opinions of its main developers.

Kinda funny now given that Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.

“People pressed into slavery to deliver takeaway” is the kind of dystopian that fiction can only aspire to. Christ.

To be fair, an ASML engineer explaining some advanced piece of tech would be great ASMR.

Unfortunately no, but they really should.

This seems like some good fun. I’d like to propose Viscera - Carcinogenesis.

AI will also process and condense reports from hundreds of public consultations held by ministers. The drafts will be verified by staff to check sources and catch inaccuracies.

Ah, so it’s not going to actually alleviate any work for civil servants. Instead they have to sift through and correct a bunch of AI hallucinations, on top of their normal duties. Marvellous.

It would be weird if the OTW just outright stated that fanfiction was copyright infringement, starting off from the position of “yeah, it breaks the law” would be a bad form of advocatory. The case they link on that FAQ is about a parody of (at the time) 20 year old song, which is materially very different from how fanfiction works. I do think if it ever did go to court that a non-commercial exception would likely be carved out, but as it currently stands I don’t think there’s any precedent in either my own country or America that can be used to argue that fanfiction meets the criteria for fair use/dealings. Then again, I’m not a lawyer so my opinion probably isn’t worth much.

(sidenote: it’s mad that American copyright law doesn’t have an explicit exception for parody)

Fanfics are 100% copyright infringement, there’s no fair use/dealings defence of them. There’s just little point for corporations to go out and enforce their copyright, fanfic authors likely don’t have much money and it’d be a PR nightmare. Obviously this equation changes when people start to profit of fan work, it’s why AO3 doesn’t allow direct links to donation pages.

There is an API end point to get upvoted posts. I don’t know about third party clients, but you can get it with curl:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 'Authorization: Bearer <Auth token here>' \ 
  -X GET 'https://ukfli.uk/api/v3/post/list?type_=All&sort=New&liked_only=true' | jq

I use Tilix, mostly because I’m used to it. I should probably upgrade to the plethora of new GTK4 terminal emulators, but I just can’t be bothered. Plus none of them support tiling.

Isn’t Thunderbird completely self-managed? I don’t think they have anything to do with MozCorp.

No, they’re asking about getting stuff posted on Mastodon to appear on their Lemmy feed. You’ve got the platforms the wrong way round.

You can’t, unless the Mastodon user tags a community you’re subscribe to.

True. That would be true of any platform which allows tips, you’d have to connect to some source of money whether it be paypal or crypto. Paypal’s fees would be prohibitively expensive but it would be theoretically doable. Either way, it’s a <5 minute setup process if they care to do it.

But people already have Paypal and understand how to use it. Most people don’t understand cryptocurrency, and don’t want anything to do with it because of its association with scams.

Interesting I didn’t know AP supported E2E. I guess it’s Mastodon that doesn’t support that element of the AP protocol then?

Here’s the issue.

Also, I looked in to Nostr a bit for this and do you seriously think profile links like this will catch on with people?

Say what you want about AP, but usernames like <(at) makeasnek (at) lemmy.ml> are at least memorable. How am I suppose to tell someone IRL about my Nostr profile, say of a 64 bit string out loud?
