Thanks to the so-called “Mickey Mouse Protection Act” of 1998, Disney, along with other entertainment companies, permanently damaged the collective creative landscape by walling off the public domain.

The great irony, of course, is that Disney built its library of animated classics by adapting European fairy tales that exist in the public domain. Despite Disney benefiting from the free use of old stories, the studio has never hesitated to take legal action to protect its most iconic character, several decades after Walt Disney created him.

Over the decades, Disney’s brutal copyright take-downs have become the stuff of legend. The litigious studio famously forced daycare centers to remove murals featuring Mickey and Minnie; for Disney, copyright law even applies to a child’s tombstone.

[...] the mouse is symbolic of a decades-long battle over the public domain, which the public lost. Today, the battleground has shifted, as powerful corporations no longer view tight copyright protection as beneficial, thanks to the requirements of generative AI.

Mint is great. I hope your Inspiron will work better than mine. I've got the 2in1 and the trackpad and keyboard are horrible :(

Exactly! It is a new Btrfs competitor and OpenZFS alternative that is built upon the bcache codebase.

Yeah. And now that we have account migration we can switch more easily.

Or a Minetest server.

Not with me. Pirating for personal use is perfectly legal in my country.

Do we have an account migration tool yet and can somebody recommend a nice instance?

Yes, nobody is stopping you from doing everything you planned to do with your invention.
In real life, IP does not benefit those it is supposed to protect, but those who can afford to sue everyone else into the ground.

Now we have nu and fish. Great!

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 2in1 and from the linux side everything runs great. In the three years I have this laptop I tried multiple distros and all worked fine. Besides that the biggest problem was to find a program to make handwritten notes. I really recommend Rnote as it has matured very well over this year and is the only option if you need an infinite canvas to draw on.

I can't recommend you the hardware tho as it is really aweful. The trackpad gets stuck sometimes and does not come back up with the keyboard showing the same symptoms now, the aluminum chassis gets greasy really fast and the hinges aren't the best either. Also you must use the cheapest version of all Dell pens because the screen is only compatible with that one pen.

afaik GNOME Shell mobile is still very new and less polished than phosh.

Multiplex is a Linux application to stream torrents and share them with other friends.

Great as I don't like Github and dont have an acxount there I'll try to make suggestions here. I'll refer to this comment for further clarification.

  • As already discussed in the github issue tags should imo be the lemmy implementation of hashtags as they can be seen on mastodon. ActivityPub already handles them well and on the lemmy side it's just a matter of redesigning in order to display them as more reddit like tags. We have the moderator tags which look pretty nice already. Also important tags like the Mod or NSFW tags could be displayed in a red or orange color which signalizes the importance of the tag.

  • My second suggestions was also already pointed out but as on reddit communities should be able to predesign some tags that the users will be able to select (just like on reddit). Additionally users should be able to add maybe up to four other tags to their post the number would have to be discussed with the community to prevent tag spamming.

    Adding user based tags should not be a big problem for moderation as on mastodon anyone can give themslves any hashtag they wan't which seems to work well. Additionally (community and even instance) moderators would have the ability to search for inappropriate tags in bulk which they can then further analyze and remove if it contains inappropriate language.

    These user based tags could be displayed in a small field right below the post body wheras the important tags as well as the community picked tags would be displayed above the post just like on reddit. In a further step an option could be implemented to hide the user given tags entirely or just collapse this field.

Honestly Jerboa is so polished that it feels like an android system app.

This is simply not true. Just look at server side software like OpenStack, the Linux kernel, various file systems, ... These solutions are all free software and they are thriving because big comapnies rely on them. They support these project not only financially but they also contribute code and improve them that way.

You've ruined it! Please hide your revelation behind a spoiler warning.

Exactly. And as I already wrote: the worst part of it is that they may take valuable sources of information with them.

So you post on social media because you want te be publicly discovered? Yes
Then why are you whining because your public posts were publicly discovered?

Anna's Archive is way more than just a redirection to sources where you can get the books for free. In that sense the content itself is hosted on different platforms like IPFS, through torrents or on zlibrary and AA is just a discovery, curatorial platform. But Thanks for the info about OpenLibrary!

I switched to SearXNG and never looked back since. It's a meta search engine that encompasses multiple other engines like google, bing, ddg, wikipedia, openstreetmaps and many more. You can always select which engines you want to use and the best is that this tool makes your search anonymous. you have to select a server at searx.space and then you right click the url to make it the default search engine on firefox.

Great! I really love playing with the dualsense and I use it for all story games I play.

How can it be lossless then?

I mean, I'm not totally opposed to the idea of rewarding users in a decentralized way but speaking of freedom and decentralization on a platform that really gives a shit about values is pure hypocrisy.

I am convinced that decentralisation and publicity and secure private chats are not mutually exclusive if you use the appropriate protocols: On the one hand you can have ActivityPub, which is suitable for communication and discoverability between instances, and on the other hand you could use a secure messaging protocol such as Matrix, which could then be used for private chats.

I mean in the end you want to be discovered by other people so you need to provide some info about you. The good thing is that you decide what personal information you want to share with everyone and what details you only want to talk about with certain people.

For your information: We already have a centralized, open source dating app. It's called Alovoa.

I still prefer storing the pdf in the browser cache and downloading it manually if I want than to download it directly to /tmp or anywhere else.

An infinite canvas accessible by only using a keyboard? Shut up and take my money!

Then wait for bcachefs to land in 6.7

Yeah something matching it's beautiful clean UI. Like a reduced jerboa head or smth.
