Donations are a sustainable model for development. Less sustainable than government taxation, but more sustainable than ads, subscriptions, and/or fees by a mile.
Lemmy uses a feature called "groups" to denote the community a post is in. Mastodon doesn't support groups yet. Once it does, I would think those posts may federate with Lemmy.
Well, first I can't comment — or I won't comment, I should say — on the rumors that are out there. But one thing we've done with the Switch to help with that communication and transition is the formation of the Nintendo Account. In the past, every device we transitioned to had a whole new account system. Creating the Nintendo Account will allow us to communicate with our players if and when we make a transition to a new platform, to help ease that process or transition.
Our goal is to minimize the dip you typically see in the last year of one cycle and the beginning of another. I can't speak to the possible features of a new platform, but the Nintendo Account is a strong basis for having that communication as we make the transition.
Is this him indirectly confirming backwards compatibility?
We have only adapted 14.5 chapters so far in 7 episodes.
This is crazy, because it really feels like we've done way more than that. I guess because the pacing can take its time to really give an immersive feel to the world. Sounds like I'll be reading the manga after the anime's done though; this is def good enough to warrant it, even if I feel like the atmosphere of the anime is one of its strongest points.
GOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK. They really killed it with that cliffhanger. Frieren's such a badass, even the way she let herself get taken down, but refused to take her eyes off her enemy. Also, to not tread on what others have said about this episode, it's interesting that they mentioned other creatures that use human speech to trick us, and that human speech is what distinguishes demons from monsters.
The writing was really great too, with the demons using honeyed words that sound sympathetic, but they turn around and acknowledge they don't really know what it means except that they get to live a while longer.
The entity is the civil court system, and while there is no law written "no company can work in a way that doesn't maximize profit", upon taking investment, it's typical that companies, the fiduciary, come under the expectation that they'll be working for the sake of their beneficiary's interests. In public companies, this interest is clear-cut. Investors want dividends and to see the value of the company increase. This is typically done through maximizing of profits.
So while it's not explicit that they must forever maximize profits, companies can be successfully sued for not doing so.
No, you're telling people they're wrong and it is open source. Not to use other, more precise terms. I hate to have to explain your own argument to you, but you seem to not know what you're saying.

What’s happening to Odysee?
Odysee, the flagship LBRY app, continues to serve more than 6,000,000 people each month, even while it has been iced. CoinGecko rates Odysee as the most popular web3
Odysee’s popularity makes it the most valuable asset of LBRY, Inc. While it’s nearly certain the Odysee assets will be assumed by someone interested in resuming its growth, it’s unclear if Odysee will continue to use the LBRY network in the future, switch to another cryptonetwork, or switch to being a traditional web2 platform.
For the data nerds and founders, a full log of our monthly and weekly Odysee user data is here. When much of the crypto industry was burning money, we succeeded at building useable web3 software that people actually wanted to use.
What happens to LBRY channels and content?
Over 1,700,000 identities and 30,000,000 pieces of content have been published to the LBRY blockchain. As long as the LBRY blockchain continues to be mined, those identities and records will continue to exist.
However, the content itself is not published to the blockchain, and requires host nodes to function. If Odysee chooses to stop utilizing LBRY, then content that is not actively seeded by others will stop being available. Using LBRY Desktop is the best way to ensure your content remains available.
Can Odysee switch from LBRY?
Maybe? Maybe not? It’s unclear whether Odysee has permission to port content that was published from LBRY to somewhere else. Additionally, at one point Odysee committed users that it would always use LBRY so long as it was legal to do so.
But we’re feeling pretty done with legal fights, and we’d rather see our friends at Odysee continue to do productive work supporting free speech. Ultimately, this will be decided by users, not by us, and we encourage users to wait and see.
the only reason he even cares about right to repair is for his work
This is exactly it. I appreciate that he's a strong advocate for it, and he's a single issue voter/lobbyist, but he really wouldn't care about it if it wasn't his business. As can be seen in how, while he so strongly believes in a right for third parties to maintain hardware, he very clearly doesn't believe in a right for third parties to maintain software with this app being source-available and not FLOSS.
