How about giving away much of your money so that the world can expect more and things can get a little easier for those who are living paycheck to paycheck?
Ugh, what a mess. Thought about this for a while today and three thoughts started circulating in my head:
Hire an actual lawyer and get firm legal advice on this issue. I think this would fall to the admins, not the devs. Maybe an admin who wanted could volunteer to contact a lawyer? We could do a gofundme for one-time consultation legal fees.
Stop using pictrs completely and instead use links to a third party such as Imgur or whatever. They’re in this business and I’m sure already have dealt with it and have a solution. Yes it sucks that Imgur (or whatever third party) could delete our legitimate images at any time, but IMHO it’s worth it to avoid this headache. At any rate it offloads the liability from an admin. Of course, IANAL and this is a question we would want to ask a lawyer about.
Needing a GPU increases the expenses for an admin significantly. It will start to not be worth it for quite a few to keep their instance running.
Thanks for bringing up this point. This is obviously a nuanced issue that is going to need a well-thought-out solution.
I was thinking the same thing. Stop storing the images and offload to Imgur or whatever. They likely already have a solution for this issue. Show images inline instead of a link. Looks the same, no liability.
Saying that, this is tremendously cool. I was given pause though by another poster on the thread mentioning the legality of using this in the U.S.
LMAO. So, so true and I have no problem with it. Self-hosted seems to be one of the most active communities on Lemmy. I learn a lot and y’all all seem cool.
I think he’s dead. But I didn’t know about the body double thing. The thing is, all of Wagner leadership getting on a plane together and flying over Russia seems so, pardon me, idiotic. So idiotic that now I know about the body doubles I am questioning the whole situation now.
How ironic it would be if somebody showered them with riches to go and create mayhem within Russia. My experience of mercenaries is that they are not too picky about whose money they take.
That's an interesting take I hadn't considered. There are plenty of parties who could pay more than Russia. They'd just need to find a way to do it without being caught.
You know I am so hooked on DQ XI I am not playing anything else right now. I play for about an hour before I go to sleep. I am past the "medal college" area :-).
How could I have forgotten about the Mewtwo raids? I’ll be doing those too.
