    A lot of people seem to not understand what a fallacy is. They think that if something is fallacious then it is necessarily false, which ironically is a fallacy in and of itself (the fallacy fallacy). All that a fallacy is is an argument that does not logically follow from the starting axioms and the conclusion. Slippery slopes are predictions, sometimes accurate ones, but it does not necessarily follow that some of a thing leads to more of that thing, thus it is a fallacy.

    I presume the reason they didn’t use GPL3 is because they wanted the attribution and non-commercial clauses offered by CC-BY-NC.

    Not suggesting that they should not prefer to drop those clauses in favour of a copyleft free software licence. but you asked “why not” and losing those clauses is clearly an obvious candidate for why they might not want to.





  • Chars are just numbers, but yeah, an enum would work fine too, sure. The only advantage with using a char for it is that there’s no conversion needed for outputting them into strings so it’s a little easier. Less code, very readable, etc. Though yeah, thinking about it JQKA wouldn’t be numerically in the right order which could cause issues if the program did more than just implement HiLo



  • Any specific infringement material (by which I mean media) would only be on the user’s home server. Links to content aren’t what is actionable for a DMCA notice as far as I’m aware. And the DMCA does not require platforms to actively monitor or remove potentially infringing content, only to follow the takedown procedure when sent an appropriate notification. If they follow that then they are protected from liability. That’s US law but IIRC the implementations in most of the rest of the world are similar if not the same. And here’s the rub: even without those communities, LW will still need to have a DMCA agent and take action against content when notified because people can and will upload infringing media here on other communities.

    They’re not exposing themselves to additional risk by having the piracy communities unblocked. People can and will discuss piracy, in abstract terms at the very least, all over the place. And discussion of copyright infringement is not copyright infringement anyway. Any liability and risk they do hold they will still have to worry about now regardless.

    You just use three backticks to start and end a code block, it’s just markdown.

    e.g.

    version: '3.4' 
      
    services:
       vaultwarden: 
         image: vaultwarden/server:latest 
         restart: always 
         # environment: 
         #   SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: 'false' 
         #   ADMIN_TOKEN: 'your authentication token' 
         ports: 
           - '127.0.0.1:8200:80' 
         volumes: 
           - vaultwarden-data:/data/ 
    ...
