Imo this is a showcase of the core strength of federated services, no community can just be forced out of existence. Worst comes to worst they can open up their own instance and keep to themselves (like ani.social). I think the Fediverse doesn't go quite far enough with this approach because users are still at the mercy of their instance admins but it's a lot better than corporate social media by a long shot and currently a decent compromise between user freedom and content discoverability.
As someone who recently posted into both communities let me tell you this one feels a lot less active already (see ani.social vs lemmy.ml). I absolutely encourage people to switch over, community fragmentation isn't a good thing in most cases and as OP pointed out lemmy.ml has made it clear that it's not the place for Anime/Manga communities.
If the Tachiyomi devs don't reverse this somehow (which seems unlikely given what I've read about past cases of this, custom repo it is I guess) they probably just killed the app. Ubless you are aware of how to get Mangadex and bato back Tachiyomi is now a worse option than even just using your browser again for most people.
Seems like the devs even folded like wet noodles wgen they had (to my knowledge) risk free options of at least attempting to prevent this, such as demanding the dmca to be filed with GitHub (saved youtube-dl for example since their repo got reinstated after Google withdrew their claim)
This sort of non-reaction is just asking for the wolves to tear the project apart, after this any copyright holder with no leg to stand on will file claims agaonst Tachiyomi for whatever sources remain. Because why shouldn't they? It's a 100% success rate and they don't even risk anything (illegally) abusing DMCA with people like this at the helm of the project.
wow what a shitshow. I'm really not well versed in who the tachiyomi devs are but just blindly following copyright notices, then only explaining firther upon prodding (with the result being a seemingly flimsy takedown request) on top of restrict8ng 3rd party addons leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Any of those individually already would bit this leaves a "trying to suck up to corpos" bad tase for me.
Edit: not sure exactly how the extensions get disabled but the two from the mentioned repo still work for me after a force stop of tachiyomi so just being an unofficial extension might not be enough to deactivate it
because valvle only removed support due to chromium removing it as well. Steam uses chromium in a few places so they likely figured ending support would be easier than creating a win 7 client with limited features.
I've found that my problems went from "minor annoyances that occur regular with no way to fix other than waiting for it to fix itself" and "major annoyance with workaround, has been like this since Windows 7" to "this bug almost completely breaks your system but the first search result has the three steps to permanently fix it"
Granted I'm on Arch and Plasma 6 Beta so that's to be expected
This is absolutely awesome, I love it already.
Substreamer had some real annoying quirks but it was the least worst option I found so far, this is better in almost every way for my use case
You have no idea how much easier it is to mod a game when you can look at the source code. GTA V has a thriving modding scene despite its source being unavailable for modders.
iirc Microsoft is doing it, read of a case where a parent sent a picture of his son to the doctor via onedrove share and his entire account got suspended over it.
Also CSAM detection algorithms are known to misfire on occasion (it's hard to impossible to tell apart a picture of a naked child sent for porn purposes and one not send for that) and people want to avoid any false allegations of that if at all possible.
A house exists, in order to remove ownership of that hous you would need to physically expell the family living there. A story is fictional, it does not exist and removing the copy protection from it does not require actively harming the inheritors of the person who wrote it.
A house is also not so much generational wealth as it is generational ownership. You don't get active revenue from a single house if ypu are living in it. And generational wealth is pretty fucked up and should not happen.
Besides if an author really wants to make sure their children are taken care of, teach them to continue the story, the family name will ensure they get more sales than anyone else writing stories in the same universe as the original.
they likely blanket banned/filtered the .zip tld due to the rather large security problems it brings. I had the same problem with my instance initially before I explicitly whitelisted lemmy.zip
I remember when Zen dropped and everyone thought Intel had some sort of secret super architecture stored in the archives that would allow them to compete. Turns out no, they had nothing. They still have nothing. All they do is make the silicon larger and crank up the clocks. Ironically reducing their margins in an attempt to out-compete a vastly superior technology.
At this point I'm afraid AMD will get into the same position Intel was in during the Bulldozer era and price gouge just as much but unless Intel somehow manages to make chiplets work without infinity fabric (they can't use it because patents) I really don't see them putting out compelling products in the next years. AMD is steadily gaining market share because year after year their products are objectively better in increasingly many categories. Zen was just plain cheap enough to counteract the lacking performance but no AMD has the cheaper AND faster tech for most use cases. The last bastion Intel really has are laptops and once that is gone I can see a lot of OEMs start selling AMD products en masse.
I’m much happier with a company that is satisfied with its market, does what it does well, and leaves it at that
No problem here, yet
I’m not a believer of “more money for the money gods, ever increasing profits, let’s fuck over some more consumers and further line the shareholders pockets”.
points at Skylake explain that then. Let's not pretend Intel was a Saint while AMD was busy running their business into the ground. Intel was price gouging the hell out of consumers back then. Intel had a whopping 9% performance gain over two CPU generations. We get more than that now in a single one (well if you're not Intel that is but more on that later). Intel is not one of those saintly companies you outlined in your previous statement and it never was. When they had the chance to price gouge time and time again they showed that they will do exactly that. Let's not get into their anti-competitive practices whenever AMD actually manages to get something good out.
And while at it Intel is not even good at making Desktop CPUs anymore. They are stuck on monolithic chips that cost a shitload to manufacture so while AMD is busy reducing their production costs and improving their flexibility Intel is still reeling from Zen 1 and seemingly can't do anything other than making bigger and bigger chips at higher and higher voltages. I don't have their internal financials but looking at what's publicly available they are running out of excess margin to bleed off. Their (high-end) products don't make them a lot of money anymore, if that, because the yield for them is just abhorrently bad. They got hit out of left field by Zen but instead of sitting down and acknowledging that they fucked up and "innovated" themselves into a corner they doubled down on monolithic chips and dug their grave deeper. And why? Simple: innovating costs money and Intel is all about profit so that was a big nono.
If they push someone else out, that’s more specialties lost.
History shows that rather happens due to monopolies preventing new players from entering a field (infamously the dozens of potential cancer cures that just landed in big pharma's drawer of patents that don't make enough money) but you do you I guess.
but I’m much happier that their GPUs have generally flopped
You shouldn't be, we have 2 companies competing there and it isn't going very well for the consumer. Fewer companies in an industry = less competition.
Oh and of course
reliable desktop CPU
yeah well that one is easy if you stop drastically changing your product while still increasing prices as if you were.
I watched it a while ago and while I was not on board with all the changes to the store she completely lost me with the changes to the UI outside the store.
Leave the download bar right where it is, also leave the friend list where it is. Multi monitor people actually use that stuff.
Also don't touch the god damn library. It's fine, good even. Not sure what she's on about a easy "Play" button for recent games missing, it's right there in the Library home page.
Gitea is managed by a for profit which is now offering a hosting service. That alone is already a conflict of interest because one of Giteas core features is the easy self hosting.
Then the contribution guidelines have been made stricter, anyone contributing now has to give up their copyright to the gitea management, meaning they could change the opensource license to a stricter one down the line without requiring community consent.
The concern is that as time passes features will be locked behind a premium tier for self-hosters or the self-hosting itself will be made more difficult in an effort to push their cloud service.
I'd be very careful with those words given that lemmy.world is rather trigger happy with defederations.
It is almost impossible to completely censor away content and anyone can bridge blocks by creating a new intermediary instance where they can view content of mutually blocked instances but it's not like you see all the fediverse content on any instance.
Matter of fact you just need to look at the blocklists of most instances to get a pretty good guess at the other, less legal, Fediverse out there running almost in parallel to the popular one. But since almost every instance has those blocked you don't see any of that shit in your feeds. Highly censorship resistant, but ultimately an individual is still at the mercy of their instance admins.
