Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based disscussion.

  • Reddit stopped answering requests for comment from objective journalists.

    People just need to start filling complains with their Data Protection Authority. Then the mainstream media will be forced to cover the stories to get the clicks.

  • It requires access to the Lemmy instance database.

  • Not possible, but maybe in the future? The standard (ActivityPub) they use is the same, but each software has to create it's own features.

  • It shows it for comments that are less than 10 minutes old.

  • Something like FreshRSS might work for what you want.

  • v0.18 release had breaking changes, it won't be true every time.

  • The new version also reduces its reliance on websockete

    From my understaind it's not a reduction, but a complete replacement.

  • Most sites post so much content of which majority is pure garbage so the bot posting whole feeds seems like a worse value than just following news communities that have more curated feed. But nonetheless good luck with the project.

    Also please mark @[email protected] as a bot account in settings.

  • It's Google delays not from the dev side. Google needs to build and sign it, but that depends on the overall traffic. So their timeline is always up in the air. Same goes for F-Droid, they also need to build the app and then sign it it can take up to 4 days depending if you miss the set time cycles.

  • I don't disagree, I just think that for devs that is obvious, so unless regular people give feedback in places where dev see it's unlikely to improve.

  • Find a post of yours click ... and there will remove as mod option.

  • Markdown is such popular markup language that I think it's almost assumed that people know what it means.

  • 2FA issue. Disable 2FA via desktop for now.

  • Copyright Act of 1790Term of 14 yearsRenewal of 14 years

    Copyright Act of 1831Term extended to 28 yearsRenewal of 14 years

    Copyright Act of 1909Term of 28 yearsRenewal extended to 28 years

    Copyright Act of 1976Life of the author, plus 50 years (generally)75 years from date of publication or 120 years from date of creation (anonymous works, pseudonymous works, and works made for hire)

    Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (1998)Life of the author, plus 70 years (generally)95 years from date of publication or 120 years from date of creation (anonymous works, pseudonymous works, and works made for hire)

    Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (1998) is what Disney was able to lobby for to extend the life of Mickey for another 20 years. It expires in 2024. But trademark will still be valid.

  • Each country has it's own copyright office. So you would need to pay in each of them where your work is distributed. They are just enforced almost globaly as majority of countries signed an agrement to recognize them.

  • While true, I don't have a problem with entertainment being copyrighted for longer, it's impact on quality of life and health is non existent in comparison to patents.

  • The issue with patents being 20 years that it completly stops innovation because even if it's reproduced and improved patent stops it from coming to the market and the patent holder has no incentive to improve anything since it can just rake in the money.

    Trademarks purpose is to make brand recognizible and it should exist as long as the company pruduces anything under that brand. Caping it's existance serves no purpose aparting from letting cheap copies to be sold which doesn't benefit anyone.
