And who hasn’t contributed any code to this particular repo (according to github insights).

It has AI elements already, such as a page translator.

I like the idea, but I really hate that they’ve hardcoded the provider.

Actually, that’s not quite as clear.

The conventional wisdom used to be, (normal) porn makes people more likely to commit sexual abuse (in general). Then scientists decided to look into that. Slowly, over time, they’ve become more and more convinced that (regular) porn availability in fact reduces sexual assault.

I don’t see an obvious reason why it should be different in case of CP, now that it can be generated.

What social contract? When sites regularly have a robots.txt that says “only Google may crawl”, and are effectively helping enforce a monolopy, that’s not a social contract I’d ever agree to.

That said, you can use a third party service only for sending, but receive mail on your self-hosted server.

Stop asking for pseuso-privacy features. The Fediverse is public by nature. Any “measures” to control access to the public posts on it are just lying to users.

Server owners should be able to control who can access their servers - but that is NOT - and should NOT be - treated as a privacy feature.

I don’t know where this myth came from, but you don’t have a right to erase your public posts from there internet under GDPR. See, for example, https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/32361/does-a-user-have-the-right-to-request-their-forum-posts-deleted

If anything, you might have such rights under copyright law, if your posts cover the threshold for copyright. In that case, you can ask server admins to delete them, and they will have to comply. But the request has to reach them (if they’re defederated, the delete button won’t teach them, and you’ll have to contact them separately).

Oh, that’s good to know. I have had issues with files just wouldn’t “open” - even with the old behavior - and could never figure out why.

TBH the reason I didn’t go into details was because it’s been a while. I set it up right after they made the change and don’t remember 100%.

But my downloads folder is just the Downloads folder (/home/user/Downloads), I have “What should Firefox do with other files?” set to “Ask whether to open”, and for most content types I have “Always ask” (I have “Open in Firefox” for PDF, AV1, and a few others where it’s an option).

It’s stayed that way for all versions ever since they made the change to save by default, up to almost latest (haven’t moved to 121 yet)…

I have tried it myself. My Firefox shows PDFs inline, and “opens” other files (i.e. downloads them to /tmp) only via changing settings (browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline is false for me).

It’s not. This can be edited directly in settings from General > Applications.

That’s only US courts. Other countries don’t even have a procedure for registering copyrights.

What do you mean thousands at a very gradual rate? I don’t think I’ve sent 1000 emails offer the last year. And even if some people send more, I can’t imagine it would be at a pace where that becomes a problem (at least if it’s for personal use)…

If you have a VPS with dedicated IP they you (and only you) have used for a while, would it still be blacklisted?

Well, people like to think that the fediverse is a genuine threat to Meta. And they like to feel they’re doing important work defending it from Meta. So this will indeed pop up again, and again, and again.

To me, the smaller userbase is actually a real problem. I’m willing to stick it out and hope it grows. But for over half of the subreddits I subscribe to, the corresponding lemmy communities have 0 posts this last week.

Yes, I don’t need 10k comments on my posts. But memes or mainstream news was never the big value of reddit for me - I can get these anywhere. Instead it is about the niche communities with a few thousand subscribers. And for now, I still have to use reddit for them.
