It covers Apple/Google tax. They didn't want to have lower revenue on mobile or go the Spotify route.

Nostr is the Bitcoiner protocol. It's simple but inflexible and not that censorship resistant (if you don't run your own relay you can lose data). ATP is more like Ethereum, way more complex but you can build actually useful apps with it.

Or limit copyright terms to 20 years and repeal Section 1201 (together with 512 for good measure). That would cover far more than just old games.

Feedbro has a simple and customizable UI and supports both Chrome and Firefox.

Don't see a problem with it as long as they don't get copyright on the outputs of their AI. That would make enforcing any IP impossible on the internet because there's no way to prove it wasn't AI generated.

You can't be both a small community and replace for profit social networks. I thought the point of all this was the second one.

Legalizing immigrants means they can't get deported for fighting back or trying to quit. And having no choice is the #1 requirement for exploitation.

This type of reporting is super counterproductive imo. When people read "the planet's fucked, no way to fix it now" a lot of them either give up and stop caring or become violent extremists. The right way is cautious optimism and busting myths - "here's why public transport doesn't suck" or "we need to build more solar panels" or "nuclear plants aren't dangerous".

Do you think Ernest should run and develop this whole site out of his personal income?

Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it's either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There's no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.

Maybe don't call them shitlibs?

You can choose the emulator version and binary images don't compress well so the repack install time is just overhead.

There's no way to enforce that. Bots can change IP address and not all instances have a dmca page.

Bluesky is working on a fix. They have a global identity system where you can move all your data (posts, likes, followers, blocks) to another instance if you get banned. The only thing that changes is your handle.

That's probably a kbin UI bug

Don't do that. Deleting your account is enough and some of your comments might be useful info that doesn't exist anywhere else.

Sort by hot (or new if hot doesn't work) instead of active.

I made a version that makes the instance name normal weight instead of bold. Think it looks better that way.

Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.

Even in the US there's no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn't take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.
