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

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.

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.

Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it’s either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There’s no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.

There’s no way to enforce that. Bots can change IP address and not all instances have a dmca page.

Bluesky is working on a fix. They have a global identity system where you can move all your data (posts, likes, followers, blocks) to another instance if you get banned. The only thing that changes is your handle.

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.

Even in the US there’s no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn’t take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.

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.

Mint is very opinionated and made explicitly for less technical users. If you have basic command line skills (or you’re willing to learn) Fedora gives you more choice and in my experience it’s actually more reliable than Debian based distros.

It doesn’t appear automatically on related magazines (would be a nice feature though) but you can link magazines from other instances like this: /m/lemmyworld@lemmy.world. You can subscribe to them and see them in /m/all like they’re part of Kbin.

Cutting off access to the API is what Reddit’s doing now. Greedy companies can always find an excuse to lock things down, just look at how OpenAI doesn’t publish code for “safety” reasons.
