Hits a buzzer

Countries where “lobbying” is popular

“What just happened?”

“War were declared.”

Going to be following these threads closely as I’ll be damned if my students are going to put up with adverts from a file hosting service.

Sounds like the 4chan raids of old.

Batten down, report the offender’s to the authorities, and then clean up the mess!

Good job so far ^_

It’s a (less sexist) variation of the “silence wench” meme aimed at brand marketing. Usually you see it deployed against company owned social media profiles in protest of their invasion of a social space. However, it can also be deployed against newsvertising (advertising disguised as news articles/guides).

That’s the tricky part - if I write a book I might need the money from selling it to survive (and a lot of shop workers may rely on it too).

However, I think the copyright most people resent is the kind that stops you building on top of something without having a legal department handy. The overlong nature of copyright is also extremely problematic.

Copyblight is this in action - it’s a video strike by a legal department for showing 0.1 seconds too much audio, the killing of a free fan game, and the gating of knowledge a century old behind a journal paywall.

I think removing those claws, and reducing copyright duration somewhat would be the route forward.

The copyblight strikes again.

This decision was the logical one, however, it was only rendered logical because of the awful state of copyright law.

In terms of the “expensive” SQL queries - is this an issue that the lemmy devs are working on? I.e. is this a problem that might solve itself in time?

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, 17 lawyers up that pirate’s poor bum!

Thanks for letting us know - this is the kind of transparency that I wish the world had more of!

You know, there is less ethical angst over making a copy of something you can ONLY rent vs something you can buy.

However, both options are stealing under most laws!

I think it’s less enforceable than they think - every system someone sets up will eventually be circumvented.

It’ll be a pain for a few months, or we’ll see a federated alt pick up creators.

Thanks for getting the update out!

Definitely weird that it was 1500 instead of some power of 2*100!

Also, when we finally get a 128 thread machine just think of the meme potential!
