Yeah, switching from reddit to lemmy gives a “old internet” wibe: actual people, most of them technically inclined. But with more adoption, these people get diluted by all other kinds of folks.

Same happened with cypto scene. It started with cythography entusiasts, but now it is mostly tech bros.

I mean, updating the rules would help - clarifying that feeding data to any model / doing analysis on it requires copyright - but I doubt that it would stop companies from doing it. Because it is hard to prove in court that your work has been stolen.

But there is no real way of enforcing the rules. How would be combat piracy? If you make BitTorrent protocol illegal, people will just that using HTTP or anything else to share copyright-ed material.

Interesting, but probably not general and scalable way of fighting this problem. This practice is would be hard to implement for other types of content.

I think that copyright law is inherently unfit for internet. In its core, it is a legal restriction on re-publishing content which cannot be enforced on the internet. It does not prevent piracy or AI companies from collecting data. So I’d say that we should do away with copyright law altogether. This would, of course, remove a lot of incentive for producing content, but I think people would still produce content, even if they are not paid to do it, as long as their basic needs are satisfied. So if we, as a human race, progress to UBI, we can also solve copyright problem.

But if we get stuck in capitalistic age, I guess we have to pretend that information can be owned and legally restricted from redistribution.

It does not work for me. Yesterday it started working after a few retries.

Lol. Tech support soon: “Have you tried turning your computer sideways and back again?”

Can someone explain why this would be even slightly useful to anyone?

How does one type without a and z?

For me, switching from chrone to ff around 3 years it felt the opposite. Ff opens so much faster. Also scrolling is way smoother.

This is all hard to do because it is hard to determine people’s race on lemmy. Some usernames give it away but most don’t. And I don’t go snooping trough their post history to find that out.

Woah, you are old. I use nixos btw

It started as actual unpublished technical descriptions of underlying technology.

If they made that, they could also make it so one can pay 10x more for each additional icon.

So 10e for one, 100e for two, 1000e for three and so on.

This would allow us to recognise all people seeking attention by flashing money very easily. Bonus points if we are able to filter feeds by number of icons.

Wait what? What does that even mean? Is he their boss? Is he paying them? Does he mind control them?

I didn’t even notice the new actors, a testimony to how good they are!

What’s DRM in this context? Surely linux kernel doesn’t do digital rights management?

programming.dev does not get it. Can you explain?

It is kinda obvious that maxist ideas are aligned with the open source ideas. Are they very much against commies?

I just posted “what” but that seemed too vague so i kept going, but having two comments is also weird so i went all in on the separate comments thing.

And i still dont know what friendmaxxing is

Mean?

This?

Does?

What?
