Do you think Ernest should run and develop this whole site out of his personal income?

Maybe don't call them shitlibs?

Don't see a problem with it as long as they don't get copyright on the outputs of their AI. That would make enforcing any IP impossible on the internet because there's no way to prove it wasn't AI generated.

It's their decision and you should respect that. I also don't agree with the defederation and the rest of their policies but you can just not use it. No need to turn this into a political conflict.

This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don't have money wouldn't destroy everything like in RARBG's case.

It covers Apple/Google tax. They didn't want to have lower revenue on mobile or go the Spotify route.

With Proton most games run with no issues and just as fast as on Windows. Those that don't are because of anticheat, weird launchers or invasive DRM. I still have a Windows partition for those games and Windows only tools but haven't used it in months.

Once again, America's most successful export is right wing insanity.

Some communities only exist on Reddit. There's nothing wrong with using it as long as you have an ad blocker and don't pay for premium or awards. I'd even say it's the right thing because you cost them money.

You can't be both a small community and replace for profit social networks. I thought the point of all this was the second one.

Or limit copyright terms to ~20 years and repeal Section 1201 (together with 512 for good measure). That would cover far more than just old games.

Coming legally is almost impossible.

Legalizing immigrants means they can't get deported for fighting back or trying to quit. And having no choice is the #1 requirement for exploitation.

This type of reporting is super counterproductive imo. When people read "the planet's fucked, no way to fix it now" a lot of them either give up and stop caring or become violent extremists. The right way is cautious optimism and busting myths - "here's why public transport doesn't suck" or "we need to build more solar panels" or "nuclear plants aren't dangerous".

Sort by hot (or new if hot doesn't work) instead of active.

You can choose the emulator version and binary images don't compress well so the repack install time is just overhead.

Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.

Bluesky is working on persistent identity with a DNS based scheme. You still have instance accounts but they're optional and posts reference DIDs so getting kicked out won't break mentions.

Do you know where kbin shows the list of defederated instances? I can't find anything like that, there's just the modlog.

Nostr is the Bitcoiner protocol. It's simple but inflexible and not that censorship resistant (if you don't run your own relay you can lose data). ATP is more like Ethereum, way more complex but you can build actually useful apps with it.
