So did we (almost) all. Maybe not as recently as you, but I think most of us (including me) are former Redditors. I personally left Reddit when they pulled that bullshit with the API prices.
We do have an upvote/downvote system, though. Do you mean running user karma scores? Or something else?
Right. Same as me. But if it’s a link to a website and you click the thumbnail, it ought to take you to the link. Unless it works differently for you than for me.
I’m using Firefox on Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi. So it should work just like on any Windows or Mac desktop or laptop.
On Lemmy-UI (though maybe this differs depending what theme you’re using? Not sure), I can click the thumbnail to go to the article or the title to go to the comments section.
This does not “promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts”.
The backup provision applies to “computer programs” only. Not TV shows, movies, music, stage plays, player piano rolls, etc. (The relevant law is in 17 U.S.C. § 117 a.)
Maybe courts would find that fair use would allow the copying I described above. After all, in the “Betamax Case”, the Supreme Court found that at least in many circumstances, timeshifting can be considered fair use. The Supreme Court’s decision can be seen in this document. The first sentence of the last non-footnote paragraph of page 13 (part of the same opinion written by Justice Stevens) reads “When these factors are all weighed in the ‘equitable rule of reason’ balance, we must conclude that this record amply supports the District Court’s conclusion that home time-shifting is fair use.”
But they would have to read pretty thoroughly between the lines of federal law to do so. (And, again, that sometimes happens like in the Betamax case. But…)
So, it’s far from certain what the courts would think about that sort of use.
(Again, NAL. I kindof geek out on this stuff. Lol. But I don’t even have a shadow of a fraction of enough expertise to give any legal advice on this.)
Thanks for that. Getting messages like this from outside the U.S. means a lot. For real.
Dark times, here. They were dark yesterday, but today proves things can always be worse.
The repair cafe has a hackerspace/makerspace in back. The local LUG meets there on Thursdays. And they help maintain the 3d printers and library software at the library two doors down. As well as providing them lendable hardware put together from donated parts. And there are no due dates or late fees.
I’ve got all of TOS, Voyager, and DS9 (as well as all the movies – well, official movies, at least) on DVD.
I went to the trouble of copying all of Voyager to a big ol’ hard drive because I re-watch it every now and then and that would make it easier. I kindof intended to do so with DS9 as well.
Just for personal use. Not with the intention of sharing it or selling the original DVDs or anything. Not that that 100% for sure makes the act of copying “legal”. I’m unaware of any caselaw indicating it is, though maybe the “Betamax Case”'s declaration that timeshifting is legal might push the likelihood slightly in the direction that maybe courts would find it legal if they haven’t made any decision directly about copying just for personal use and not publishing. (IANAL, not legal advice, go hire a lawyer.)
But one disk was encoded differently than the rest and somehow I wasn’t able to get all the content onto the drive in a form that I could reasonably watch it from the hard drive. Even though it works just fine in my Bluray player.
Maybe one day I’ll figure out how to do put all the content on a drive, but it’s probably just as fine to swap disks as I’m watching.
I think this is likely a case of americans talking about how bad their own candidate is, but I can see how it would be shitty to have to see this shit ad nauseum.
I’m american and I hate US elections.
The argument that I found convincing until roughly a couple of days after the debate was:
Now, I think Biden’s fucked his own position badly enough that he’s less likely to win the general election than Kamala.
The cake is a lie. Every single one of 'em.
Oh! That’s good to hear. Honestly, that issue has kindof pissed me off enough at Rossmann specifically that I kindof quit watching his YouTube videos and stuff. So I very much haven’t been following him or FUTO.
I wonder if the FUTO website still claims that they require all projects to be or have a plan to become specifically “Open Source”.
Edit: Yup. They still say “All FUTO-funded projects are expected to be open-source or develop a plan to eventually become so” on this page. Maybe that means that they intend for Grayjay to “develop a plan to eventually become” properly Open Source and not just “source first”.
Just in case this matters to OP or anyone else in this thread, Grayjay isn’t Open Source, despite Rossman’s and FUTO’s claims to the contrary. Its license disallows any commercial use of Grayjay, and also disallows removing any features related to paying FUTO. Which disqualify Grayjay as “Open Source” by the OSI’s definition.
And consequently, F-Droid won’t distribute Grayjay unless they change their license.
C’mon, everybody. Let’s push it up to 100%!
Damn. Um… Neither, please?
I’d love to have steak sitting across from Linus. Bradley Kuhn from the SFC is an awesome guy.
But if I had to pick between Gates and Stallman… I guess Stallman so I can grill him about why he’s been sabotaging the the Free Software movement so badly.
Anonymous isn’t gone. Just gay and furry.

(There’s one line about Sabu that didn’t age well, but it’s still a banger.)
Yeah, a piece of me is concerned that if Biden drops out now, Kamala will have to start campaigning “from scratch”, which is a setback.
But the way things are now, it’s probably best if we just rip the Biden band-aid off now and do a Democrat party campaign reset. And the sooner the better. Kamala needs as much time to make up for Biden’s blunders as possible.
Also, honestly, the mistake that put us in this position happened in 2020. Biden never should have run for his first term. Because where we find ourselves now is the inevitable result of him having won his first term in 2020.
God. Kamala is under 60. What a breath of fresh air that would be.
“Adventitious” is a good word. It means:
- Arising from an external cause or factor; not inherent.
- Of or belonging to a structure that develops in an unusual place. “adventitious roots.”
- Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent; accidental or causal; additional; supervenient; foreign.
Amazing.
