It’s not that straightforward. Copyright is different in that infringement is only enforced by rightsholders through litigation. That means they hato find you, sue you, and make a convincing argument that your backup is harming their market viability.

On that last point, some personal backup is unlikely to be found to be infringing. It’s more problematic if it’s something shared or done in a significant scale.

I imagine it’s mostly upper middle class weirdos who have their own secret curiosity room of morbid shit so they can feel edgy. So, probably a lot of Harvard alumni.

I’d like the name to be “community feed” and “feeds” for short. Reddit was always essentially a collective rss with voting weights. In this way “subs” would still work since one subscribes to the feeds.

Ultimately it’s something the devs need to encourage though

Yeah, bombing people is notoriously good at deterring further political violence (/s obviously).

What do you call collective punishment again? A War Cream? No that’s not right …

To be a bit more precise, Signal is against federation from two angles:

• Innovation: Signal values absolute control over the protocol so that they can more rapidly implement UX experiences scene in other modern messaging apps. It also eliminates malicious or outdated servers changing the UX between users. Ultimately folks won’t blame the servers, they’ll blame the app, and stop using it.

• No rope for users: They seem pretty confident that the Apple-style of software and UX is right— if a user can change stuff enough to break it, they will. For secure messaging, they’d rather users have fewer choices to be sure it is secure.

I’m somewhat tempted by B2 but $5/TB/mo feels a bit steep for a NAS.

For me that would be about $100/mo, and for OP that’s $25/mo. It would only take a few months before buying a drive for off site cold backup would be more cost effective.

Considering their personal plan is $7/mo for unlimited TBs, it really invites hobbiests to find workarounds after their first TB. Unless I’m missing something.

Great advice, but you lost me at going to the bank weekly :)

My flavor of crazy is I visit family across the country twice/year and drop off a full backup. A bit hard to recover but, nuke-proof.

To flip it, this means that only AI which responsibly manages it’s initial data set will be successful. Can’t simply scrape and pray, need to have some level of vetting with input.

More labor intensive? Sure, but AI companies aren’t entitled to quick and easy solutions they started with…

And NYC is wildly over-policed.

I swear, some people have never met a societal problem they didn’t want to throw a cop at. Meanwhile we have more cops and prisoners per Capita than most of the world, funny how that works…

Dangerous to think you’re more media literate than you are.

1. Not linking a source

Very common for reports or scientific articles, where a sharable link is not readily available. Take it up with the city council who received the report being slow. The claims are sourced, and that source is credible, that’s what matters.

1. “News website”

Aka, a website you don’t know. Nola.com is a reputable local site, but that hardly matters here because the link is backing up a matter of public record— the previous FR ban was reversed.

1. Link to Twitter

It’s funny, what representatives say publicly is indeed newsworthy. When such statements happen on Twitter, you link to Twitter. Shocking, I know.

1. Opinions

Maybe you haven’t read a news article before, but providing the opinions of both sides of an issue is common practice, so that the reader has context and can consider their own position

It’s unfortunate that this drop in replacement isn’t in the fediverse though. Bluesky’s success isn’t technical (yet), it is better marketing and connections with VIP users.

Fediverse really needs onboarding pages that hides some of the wires.

Join Lemmy for example should highlight the content and UI, and a big “Join the Lemmy Fediverse” button. Click the button and it asks 3 questions and send you directly to account creation for an active instance matching your answers.

Frankly instance choice should be something people think about after they’ve been involved for a while, at least until we have a few multi-million active user instances to choose from

Not unique, but uniquely central. Fascism cannot exist without a persecuted outgroup. In other contexts, genocide is generally a state consolidating power or resources, but not the focus of these state projects.

The distinction between a square and a rectangle is important, even if you don’t like right angles and parallel sides. Fascism is a flavor of authoritarianism which is uniquely worse and focused on genocide.
