  • 500 meters to the more expensive one in my small "sister" village, and around 3km to the bigger ones in the main village (where I buy bulk every few weeks using the car).

  • That police officer kicking the face of the guy on the ground makes me more mad than the guys fighting back against the police.

  • Loot boxes are far more predatory than gambling. They are literally advertised in games that children play.

  • It's the same as fighting against "fake news" which just creates a false trust that everything on the internet is truth. Which is the opposite of what one should believe.

  • Many European age verification services can verify the age without giving them any data. It works like OAuth. You get redirect to a portal where you login with your citizen ID and you'll get redirected back to the website.

    How it would work in practice is still too soon to say. Maybe they'll also share other details such as your name or citizen id number to make sure you can only have a single account on the website. I wouldn't want this either.

    Keep in mind that all kinds of age verification like this just shifts a lot of porn into the underground and will increase identity fraud. The illegal sale of hacked verified porn accounts will also become as valuable as porn accounts on paid websites.

  • Yes but the question was for a federated alternative. lemmynsfw is not a federation by itself. It's only a part of a larger federation.

    You would need multiple nsfw lemmy instances which can then become their own federation. Or a separate federation software on top of ActivityPub.

  • Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.

    Incorrect. Only in a capitalist hellhole like America. In the rest of the world this would never be a problem. Just release the server code under MIT and let the community fix it. Also make sure you can manually setup a masterserver in the game itself, or implement direct connect functionality.

    many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.

    Same answer as before. Release the online part under the MIT license. Not your problem anymore at that point. You can still require an original game license for the game itself. We're only talking about the server software here.

    We welcome the opportunity to discuss our position with policy makers and those who have led the European Citizens Initiative in the coming months.

    We, the people, have been discussing this for at least a decade now. Get over it and stop trying you capitalist pigs.

  • Vencord is not an app by itself. It injects into Discord.

    Vesktop is a client that comes with Vencord and is much easier to maintain, especially on Linux.

  • So he's right by calling a one party system not a real democracy, but the solution to that is proportional representation and not just another party.

  • Completely legal and non-DRM yes. You buy digital albums and can choose what type of files you download. (MP3, FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, and more). Artists can even offer a license for a choose-your-own-amount donation.

    I'm not too sure about popular artists, but they do have a lot of great indie artists. A lot of small bands use it, as well as a lot of music producers from smaller subgenres. (Darkpsy for example)

  • Gravity is not what makes your body limp. It would just heavily influence a limp body. PhD my ass.

  • It's up to Taiwan to decide who they want to be allies with.

  • Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That's crazy. Don't just look at the 5.1%.

    I'm sure it's heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.

  • Back when I used Windows I used PatchMyPC and made it add a daily task.

    It updated most of my programs.

  • A single instance is not federated by itself. It requires multiple instances to be considered a federation.

    Just a little nitpick.

  • Sorry tankie. If a bunch of people leave a country they shouldn't be considered property. Re-unification is Chinese propaganda. Most of Taiwan doesn't want that.

  • Accept Language headers are sadly an easy browser fingerprint. I therefor have it set to English even though that's not my native language.

    There's also the case where you might have misclicked when changing your language, so your argument isn't really a complete solution. It just helps but doesn't fix the main problem.
