Specific to Ubuntu, not very open for collaboration, and operated by the company who owns the Ubuntu trademarks. Additionally they’ve made it unnecessarily difficult to install non-snap versions of many popular packages. (they removed non-snap versions from upstream Debian repositories).
Really Starlink should be absorbed into and ran by the UN. We only have so much LEO to use, one company is bound to become a monopoly and LEO is the world’s not any nation’s property.
Game engines and servers are great candidates for developers to collaborate their ideas into FOSS projects, but the model is harder to sustain for complete works.
While internet games can have subscription models where you pay them for doing game master type activities, moderation, and access to a hosted game server, static games are more like static art where you run into issues getting food and housing when you make your work output available for free. Crowdfunding / patreoning (in the larger sense of the word, not necessarily the app) creators / collectives can be a way for that to work, and we need to support more creators trying that model if we want to see more of it.
We really need to push for more right to repair laws and things not produced by the copyright holder (say for 5 years) should lose all copyright protections.
How would they know it’s emulated and not video captured from a real device? Are they only targeting when emulators are mentioned / shown in the window?
More reasons to switch to owning your content and hosting on your own platform or a PeerTube instance instead of only hosting on YouTube / Twitch - you can actually fight the takedown notice in court instead of having to accept that YouTube doesn’t. Not a legal expert but this seems like a winnable fair use case if you can prove you own the game legally and are using your own rom dump.
Well that’s a bummer but not surprising.
I wonder what a federated education marketplace could look like.
Some sort of (possibly locked) video hosting, maybe even Peertube, course discovery more like bookwyrm with lemmy style discussion forums? It’d be cool to have testing/assignment material like Blackboard built in too.
It’d be great if popular show casts like BBT would do more PSAs.
You can put Lemmy communities in lists so they don’t spam your home feed. https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/
Cool to see that the app is just a nice wrapper to query OSM data and not using yet another dumb silo. Its also just a webapp and not a native app spying on your data. https://en.stnameslab.com/american-search-app/ is the app.
I wonder if this would make sense as a https://mapcomplete.org/ layer
If public transport mapping is your goal, it might make sense to try out the MapComplete Train Station https://mapcomplete.org/stations and Bus Routes https://mapcomplete.org/transit themes which give an easier, more focused, mapping interface. Quest apps like Street Complete can also make getting into OSM a bit easier, though OSM Beginners Guise is great too. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners'_guide
Yes! https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport though it is a bit complex to fully add routes, adding stops is super easy!
Neocities is trying to be a modern reincarnation https://neocities.org/
You can’t turn pictrs off as a configuration setting?
Can CSAM distributors use it as a test suite for workarounds?
Edit: first draft was too declarative where I meant to pose the thought as a question.
Follow your friends, check out your instance’s federated feed and follow some people there (if you aren’t self hosting), follow some tags, and follow a trending bot like @popularposts@masto.ai
Is that 100m active users?
I haven’t hooked up posting from my domain yet, but I understand this is an alternative to using an AP plugin or https://fed.brid.gy/ . Seems pretty slick if you want to tie your primary identity into a mastodon server, though I guess in theory this approach could work with any AP platform that has a similar API. Probably the best use case would be if you don’t fully self-host your own blog.
Hashtags work on other fedi platforms, many people subscribe to lemmy communities elsewhere.
