I just have to continue reminding myself that people somehow continued to live happy, fulfilling lives during the fall of the Roman Empire.

Is your refrigerator running?

Yes?

Then you’d better go catch it!

Shit fuck there it goes.

It was good because the people making it were competent. That’s really the long and short of it.

The Fallout series released in the same year as the 2nd season of that awful Halo series, and Phil Spencer is basically saying they’d do it all over again if asked.

They don’t have a magic formula, they got lucky with their choice of showrunner is all.

I don’t think Europe has much conviction regarding Ukraine, unfortunately. Most of the larger EU member states are trying to slow their own Russia-backed right-wing movements but appear to be losing ground by the day. It’s only a matter of time before the “appeasement” stance becomes widespread and we end up with a situation mirroring the 1930’s.

A better question to start would be if there’s any creative commons or copyleft media in the modern zeitgeist.

Memes are made organically as small units of culture and gain popularity via an implicit understanding of meaning that doesn’t need to be explained.

For a meme template to have those attributes, it would need to derive from a work that was licensed as CC/copyleft from the get-go and gained popularity among the masses.

That being said, seems a moot point when fair use/derivative work standards allow unlicensed memes to legally exist regardless of the original licensing of the work they were derived from.

But your normie friends and family would fit in a lot better if they simply read some T H E O R Y.

Conservative religious beliefs and ignorance often go hand-in-hand.

Yeah, I think the button is probably mislabeled.

The “permalink” label is also just a holdover from Reddit; with there being two separate link standards on Lemmy, I think it’d be nice if the app differentiated…but that’s a separate topic entirely!

For work in the public domain, that’s one thing, but for work which is still copyright protected, you can actually be sued for (shockingly enough) making copies of it.

Generally, though, most countries only care if you distribute copies of something (even if you’re not making money off of it), but that’s not to say that the concept of “distributing” hasn’t been stretched pretty thin in the past.

Rightsholders have gone after businesses and private individuals just for playing sports events on radio or TV audibly/visibly enough to have an “audience”, thereby infringing on broadcast rights. Even if they’re not charging a thing for it. Feel free to read this and see how far the insanity goes.

If I buy a book and make copies of the pages to takes notes on, that’s usually fine. But if I make a copy and give it to a friend…

Getting a 404 at that page, do you have a mirror?

Guessing not much will happen to the calendar until (well, if) mankind ever settles on other planets. Some universal mode of timekeeping would need to be decided upon for consistency between planets with differing day and year lengths.

The function does exist, just a bit buried (and with different names?)

From a post, press the 3-dot Menu button, press Copy, and then Copy Username.

From a comment, tap the comment to reveal the comment actions, press the 3-dot Menu button, press Copy, and then press the Copy Permalink button that has an icon of a person next to it (I am assuming that is supposed to read as Copy Username like the option from the post)

Doesn’t seem to be any convenient way to copy links for communities though, neither from a post nor from the community page itself. At least none that I can find quickly.

Until they change the name and voice and have a whole fleet of elderly AI chatbots.

80’s’n’t

I think Kamala could have been the perfect candidate and she still would’ve lost.

The economy being in the shitter under the Biden-Harris administration killed any possibility of either of them winning another term. The economy ended up being the single biggest issue for American voters. Way bigger than bodily autonomy for women, LGBT+ rights, or Palestine.

Depends on how one frames it. It’s not the Stallman-defined “GNU+Linux” pureblood OS, but it nevertheless is built from a modified version of the Linux kernel.

And like any OS it can be made private and secure with the right components…or it can be cracked open like a data-farming egg without them.

I guess I can just take the low-hanging fruit and invoke Ubuntu as an alternative example, which was once something of a Linux entry point but has become more than fine collecting user data.

Ironically a Linux-derived OS.

It’s always good practice to be careful who you trust with your data. Open =/= private. More choices helps, though.

Glimpse is a much better name, though.

Well you don’t fork a project just to rename it, that’s not why it would have bombed.
