"Community" on Mastodon?

Copyleft licenses are harder to comply with, they usually come with clauses that can be interpreted in different ways, termination clauses, etc.

Yeah I know, I sort Lemmy by "new comments" and Mastodon obviously only chronologically.

It's just that the first type of "social media" I ever used (in my childhood) was the web forum and I kinda miss that. :D

There's a helpful timeline on the right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_(video_game_series)#Development

You want to switch from a free and open source browser to a proprietary browser and think this will improve your privacy?

in my mind it's kinda the point of Ladybird to have a permissively licensed implementation of web standards, I like permissive licenses if only because they reduce legal risks

Shouldn't be very hard to figure out from looking at a list of Pokémon games. RGBY = Red, Green, Blue, Yellow; GSC = Gold, Silver, Crystal; RSE = Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald; DPPt = Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, etc. etc.

Austria here

I live in a central European country and DUI laws here apply to operating a vehicle on public roads. A wheelchair or lawnmower isn't a vehicle and on private property you are even allowed to drive a car drunk. A bicycle is a vehicle though.

It was definitely a good development to let social media operators make automated "recommendations based on what you seem to like" instead of, you know, letting users decide manually what they want to see, amirite… /s

I don't think there are any viable engines other than the three you mention. Other browsers than the three you mention are viable, I am typing this in LibreWolf, but they are all based on one of these three engines.

I recently tried Ladybird and it crashes e.g. when I try to access my Lemmy instance. Definitely not viable yet in 2025, but this doesn't mean it must remain so.

TIL that you can declare return types this way in C++.

auto main() -> int

What programming language is this even?!

and in practice, if you want a website not to recognize you from one place to the next, you need to make it TECHNICALLY impossible for them to do that (depending on severity: private browsing, IP changing, Tor), not just legally declare you don't want them to

It's somewhat more comparable to DMCA takedowns I think.

It is used for PeerTube, it seems from quick web research.

The great thing about the fediverse is that it is harder to censor: as long as you find one instance where you can publish some information, you can publish it.

The bad thing about the fediverse is that it is also harder to moderate: as long as a spammer or troll finds one instance from which they can send unwanted messages, they will be able to send them.

maybe, but there are also things it arguably does better than Linux, e.g. user access control

(If you can still find this story, I'd be very interested in it, please do link to it here.)

yeah I know, far from production-ready though

That is the literal opposite of what the world needs.

Windows isn't a bad OS from a purely technical perspective. If Windows were released as FOSS, I would switch to Windows without hesitation.
