Its nice seeing more people using the license.

As a tip when I started doing this I started using a text expander so I didn’t have to copy and paste all the time.

Does this affect stuff like linux mint since its based on ubuntu?

I think that the best thing you could do is choose a different instance that is federated with more instances.

I remember the admins saying that they already conducted a survey of their users and a majority were fine with staying defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works where a majority of users and content is being made. So currently they probably are fine with where they are. It is a matter of what kind of space they are trying to create.

Also you if you appreciate the moderation here you can always choose an instance that federates with beehaw so you can keep using their communities which is where most of the moderation happens anyways.

Well on firefox/chrome extensions you can search for text expander and choose an extension that works for you.

Or if you are using a phone you can do the same on the app store and I think there should be a few options.

Once you download one of them it should give instructions on how to use it, but in general it asks you to create a phrase that you want to be automatically triggered and a shorter phrase that automatically replaced with the longer phrase.

For example-

long phrase: The quick brown fox jumped over the moon.

short phrase: /qfox

and every time you typed /qfox it would replace it with “The quick brown fox jumped over the moon.”

Yeah the more people the better so its easier to have a class action lawsuit.

Also for me I’m using a text expander so that after I type a shortcut it automatically adds the rest of the text for me.

I was able to solve the problem. Instead of downloading it from the Software Manager I installed it from the terminal instead.

When I installed it from the software manager it didn’t download one of the packages (org.gnome.platform/44) but when I did it from the terminal it did.

Thx though.

Edit: Yeah it was a flatpak.

When is the government going to realize that capitalism is becoming a security risk for them.

The amount of companies that they need to rely on to keep their edge on the world stage is staggering. And all that needs to happen is a few of those companies that don’t have developed alternatives making individual decisions to do things cheaper or for more profit will eventually lead to problems like this in critical infrastructure that other countries can take advantage of.

I think it is more important to have a non-commercial tag/license added.

Because trying to make laws around socialization, at least for businesses, will lead to them just optimizing how to be just within the bounds of the law which pushes the problem down further and they have to create a new law for it. This is worse for socialization because it’s ambiguous meaning it can be “satisfied” without really being satisfied.

It’s like a parent telling a child a rule for the house without the child understanding why. The child will follow the rules because there is expected punishment but it is fragile. If the child understands why and agrees then the child will follow the rules and it will be robust.

So yeah you can do both but I think only one of them actually solves the issue, the other just delays it.

Edit: added apostrophes.

I don’t think this is something that can changed with laws. It has to be a cultural thing or else there wouldn’t be that same weight / understanding behind why they need to do it and actually trying to socialize.

Also socialization isn’t as easily quantifiable as money is and once you start doing that then it loses something in the process.

It says that it continued into the Biden era as well.

The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.

I mostly mention that to fend off the people that use the main basis of their argument as the effectiveness because that’s not why I’m doing it.

I do think it could work legally if the courts want to remain consistent, but that isn’t guaranteed.

They have more incentive under the subscription model to create a better experience for the user.

Then how would you explain what netflix is doing to their customers?

_{Anti Commercial-AI license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)}

yeah they were. I hope more people start doing it even if it doesn’t legally hold water its still a good way to show that fediverse users won’t stand for that.

Just finished reading and honestly I think it gives a really good argument about why exploitation is ruining our lives both directly and indirectly.

Like if we lived in better harmony with the environment (not taking more than we need and giving back what we take) then we’d be much more resilient as a species. But now one disease is being spread widely because we just had to optimize everything, lose all the variety that made us safer, and make it so that we are much more vulnerable than we would’ve been before.

Happy cakeday. And yeah deescalation requires both parties to open to de-arm not only one of them.

Honestly though the best case scenario of how this all ends doesn’t really look great to me.

Either Russia loses the war, the government destabilizes, a power vacuum is formed which causes a power shift in a way likely to lead to more aggressive action in the future.

Or Russia wins the war, eyes other countries after it settles into Ukraine, NATO/US need to respond or else it sends the wrong message to other countries allied with them, and we head for WW3

Edit: There is also the idea of a stalemate and this just becomes a continuous war that doesn’t really end, but honestly I can’t see that being stable long term.

One of the side effects that I think might happen is that we could have local internet be more important than it was before since they would have to build the mesh networks within a community and with various standards which I think would be a good thing in the long run.

Stranger than fiction. It’s a movie about someone who can hear the narrator. The main character is Will Ferrell but his character is a lot more serious than you’d expect (it does have a lot of good dry humor though). It’s a good watch.

I’d say that its a bit too early to say that their tech will always be behind (if only because they have access to a lot of critical resources and probably will have ways to copy tech from other companies) but I can agree that their military is definitely not as experienced as the US.

Doesn’t the US have AI driven aircraft now? I think it is a little bit late for them to be courting them.

Edit: grammar
