a desktop version of a web version of a desktop app? talk about going full circle :D

somewhat oddly, in the real world, a clause like this would make the program no longer free and open source software

Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video. 😁

…or for that matter read the article https://what-if.xkcd.com/8/ it is a summary of, one of my favorite what ifs for a long time. 😉

It’s an expansion to say that LLM training constitutes a derivative work. You are of course entitled to your opinion that it should be the case; all I can say to that is that in the 2000s and 2010s nearly everyone on the Internet tended to argue for more limitations, not further expansions, of copyright law, and I wonder what happened to that attitude.

and yet it is still a legally unsettled question whether LLM training requires a copyright license at all; and it is my opinion that no one should want that to be the case, why would people on the Internet want to argue for an expansion of copyright law?

The PlayStation one is the symbol, not the letter, so that one is a bit different.

No I don’t. I don’t have a PS controller and have never had a PlayStation, so this knowledge is much less universal than you seem to think.

I don’t see where I said anything that contradicts anything in your comment.

If Google is their default search engine, they must at least be tech-savvy enough to have changed the search engine in Edge, or installed another browser (probably Chrome).

Which “non-techy people” are we talking about here?

Nowadays some people only use smartphones or maybe tablets, and they might not know that. But most non-techy desktop users still use Windows and they certainly ought to know the default browser (and its search engine) on their OS, I would think.

yes, it did for me, I’m reading this on !fediverse@piefed.social (from a lemmy instance)

What does that even mean…? If you know of something specific that is superior about analog compared to digital clocks, I’d like to hear it.

That’s what https://lemmit.online/ is for reddit to Lemmy, https://sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/ for Twitter and apparently also Instagram.

One problem with this is copyright; if it’s OC images or text posts, it could infringe on the original poster’s copyright. Not a problem if it’s merely sharing links.

Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.

No, this is false as far as I can tell. I am willing to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable but my understanding is:

Communities are implemented not as hashtags, but as special users who “boost” everything addressed to them. That is why Lemmy sometimes gets posts made on Mastodon that mention a Lemmy community. It doesn’t always look great: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/45785836

So communities and hashtags aren’t the same thing. In particular, communities have moderators who can remove things or ban people. Hashtags don’t.

It is a feature of Lemmy that all new posts (not, AFAIK, comments) also get the community name added as a hashtag. This is what OP was seeing and serves to somewhat increase the reach of Lemmy posts. But you can’t follow microblog hashtags on Lemmy.

The FSF has a page dedicated to this exact question: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html.en

My city’s zoo currently has cheetah cubs and a few weeks ago I was able to observe live how one of them chirped. Usually they’re quiet, but it’s really cute when they do make sounds.

Are these the same as these cuties? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2133886/Still-wild-The-cheetah-labrador-raised-cub-puppy-remain-best-friends-year-on.html

These photos put into perspective that cheetahs really aren’t that big, way smaller than actual big cats.

Why do I want this? There are already many browsers available, and this one isn’t even (apparently: yet) FOSS, so why should I be excited about this one?

such organizations already exist, e.g. Software in the Public Interest (most well known for hosting Debian)
