misleading headline, this isn’t a list of countries in which the law will (if it passes) be different (it won’t be, it’s an EU law, so will be the same in all EU countries), it’s a list of countries that currently support/oppose the law
The article is from May; has anything important related to this happened in the last few days, or why are you posting this now?
For people who don’t know this: That is an IRC server whose main purpose is to facilitate communication for developers of open source software.
Governments trying to regulate the Internet in order to make it “safer”, especially “for children”, are literally putting our entire digital infrastructure at legal risk. How did we get to this point? Can we, maybe, try to undo this and go back to a system where governments try to regulate, at most, only the parts of the Internet where the hosting happens within their borders? And we have access to everything that is legal somewhere, even if it is illegal where we live? Pretty please?

That looks good, I might try it over the weekend. :D Thanks for the effort.
If you come up with one, I might start to use it. I generally like the classic Windows style because the first computer interfaces I ever used looked like that, but nowadays I definitely insist on dark mode.
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
In my mind it’s weird to use any light theme at all now that dark themes are widely available, but if you are going to, this isn’t any weirder than any other.
Another disadvantage it seems to have over many other themes is that in tabbed interfaces there is no color bar on the currently active tab, so you can’t spot the currently active tab as quickly.
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.
The law will be the same in all EU countries, including whichever parts you think will be “not mandatory” (I did read those news articles and am fully aware that mandatory scanning is no longer on the table).
