You're not wrong, but I'm still betting that stuff you buy from the supermarket and cook at home will be healthier than what's cooked at a fast food joint.

😭

"Blaming the victim" is not a good look.

Paywalls are bad.

Also lots of independent journalism is dying because people aren’t paying for it.

I pay for it. I donate to independent journalism. 🤷‍♂️

My goal is to bring awareness for paywalls and trying to get them to not be used. They should not be promoted here on Lemmy.

Seriously, stop bitching about paywalls and use just the slightest bit of research.

The onus is not on me to go do extra work to be able to read the article, it's up to the person making the post to make sure the article's readable by all, or to include the link to a non-paywalled version in the summary.

Here’s the reuters article from a year ago https://archive.is/er7Ws

That's not even for the same article, and as you stated, a year out of date.

In theory this will mean a more healthy population, as people start cooking food at home, instead of eating fast food.

Sucks for people on the move though.

Paywalled (sub needed).

it could say ‘anti AI thingy’. Small and descriptive.

Your description is missing one of the key points of it though.

But what does it do?

If you want the layman's version, look at the 'Canonical URL' link at towards the top of the page, and that'll get you to a laymans summary for the license.

Just curious, where does the Anti Commercial-AI bit come from? The page linked does not include that term in the title or summary,

It's a description of the purpose of using the license.

and from what I understand of the legal situation it wouldn’t make a difference to explicitly mention AI.

Best not to hijack the OP's post by discussing this here. There's a different post that goes into depth on the subject and of the usage of the license.

The formatting is broken btw, at least looks that way on Thunder. Like there is an extra whitespace before the ] and hence, it looks like text and not a link.

There's an issue with some Android / Apple clients that don't render subscript and superscript fonts correctly. The web client doesn't have this issue.

You'll need to speak with the devs of your client to have that fixed.

You can refer them to this page, that has the formatting instructions: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html

Really happy to see them continuing to improve on their multi-monitor support.

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

From the article...

On Wayland, KWin can now be configured to pull color profile information from the monitor’s EDID metadata where present. Note that color profile information in EDID metadata is often wrong, so use this setting with caution.

Can anyone speak towards why the EDID metadata is often wrong?

Edit: TY to all who responded.

To be clear, I’m not objecting to applying a license to content.

I’m objecting to shoving a license in everyone’s face that’s bigger than the actual content.

Originally, I just had the Creative Commons license number, with no description, but then someone was complaining about not knowing what that was.

So then I changed it to just be a description of what it is, with no license number, but then someone was complaining about that.

So then I had both at a regular font size, but someone was complaining about that, so I shrunk the font, to be less conspicuous.

But then some Android/Apple clients don't display the Lemmy subscript/superscript fonts formatting properly, and I get people telling me it looks ugly, so I have to tell them to get their UI clients devs to fix their client issues with fonts, or to use the web client UI.

And finally, now, I have both the description and the license number in there, in a smaller font, and educating some people about their mobile clients formatting smaller fonts bugs, aaannnnndd, somebody's still complaining about that.

If it bothers you that much, Feel. Free. To. Block. Me.

Your comment signature is spam

One person's spam is another person's licensing of their content.

Feel free to block me, if you don't want to see it.

and you should feel bad.

This is the Internet. We're all supposed to feel bad/angry all the time about everything, apparently.

I can hear mod coders clenching their cheeks in preparation.

-GamingTrend 100 / 100

That seems sus.

Now, here’s the part that game publishers conveniently never talk about: distributing games is far cheaper now. We’re usually not shipping pallets of discs that take up loads of space and cost money to physically create, while also having to build in a profit margin for all the middlemen along the way, including for the retailer. We predominantly buy games digitally.

On top of that, gaming used to be niche, now everybody does it. The market is far larger, so they don’t need to charge a lot to still make bank.

Great points! And yes, they're almost never talked about!

Sony made a social media post. Original date for PsN requirement was June. During the backlash, over 100 countries were delisted. They still are. The current situation is still much worse than launch.

Don't think you're representing the situation accurately.

The primary goal was to not have to create a Playstation account, and people can get a refund now from Steam if they want, where before they could not.

Sony can always decide where to sell their products, regardless if there's a controversy, or just any day of the week and for any reason. We could never control where Sony sells their products.

still expect to do to a rug pull once people’s attention are elsewhere. Oh look, Microsoft is doing a thing now.

Corporations being corporations and trying to rip off the customer to make the stockholder happy is a constant thing (unfortunately). "Viva Capitalism!", and all that.

But 'We the People Customers' ultimately have the control, we control the purse strings. They need the money in our wallets, and we can decide to give them that money or not, based on how they treat us, as customers. They will try to psyop convince you otherwise of that fact, but that fact remains, and holds true.

Its an endless battle/war, but its a good one to fight for. Then they try something the next time, we push back against it. Again.

Nothing changed with Helldivers. The game is still blocked in over 100 countries and people who rightfully purchased the game still can not play it. Sure we don’t have to create an account, but that was annoying -not an actual issue. The real issue was thousands of people suddenly losing access to their game because Sony wants conversion.

Last I heard that problem went away with them backing off of not needing a Playstation account anymore.

And the fact that they backed off the account requirement is a definate win for us.

I’m saying there’s not really anything more I can do when it comes to EA.

You are already doing your part. Thank you, citizen.

But, you can also vocalize to others, especially the younger generation, that things like ads in games can be pushed back against successfully, as it has in the past. That they don't have to put up with crap, or think they can't push back against the monolithic corporation, because its been done before, successfully.

Hell, EA was one of those companies that tried ads in games before, and had to retreat from the pushback from customers.

The problem is that many people don’t have a similar spine for actual principles like this, and the majority of people simply don’t even care.

I always thought that they cared, especially if they are being taken advantaged of, but that it doesn't rise to a high enough threshold to actually do something about it (they triage it lower on their problem list), and that they feel that they are alone in doing it, so why bother.

What past events have shown though is that if we all do it together, even in a non-coordinated sort of way (organically), then the burden is not that hard individually, and the effort/pushback works well/enough.

What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!

I switched away from other distros to Fedora (KDE spin), and am happy here.

Do I wish they were better open-source citizens, yes, of course! But they're still allot better than Microsoft/Windows close-source solution.

And as far as the distro goes, its nice to have solid support for hardware, and a good rolling release cycle that doesn't brick my OS, and that has quick support for gaming, etc.

If you're the type of person who wants a Windows alternative OS to use as just a tool for gaming/business first and foremost, and not to tinker with the OS for fun (unless they want to), Fedora is the best, and what we all should be proposing to others when they ask about moving to Linux.
