I am not up to date on all these license debates, but don’t you think equating Alpine Linux to “locked down DRM” is just a bit of a logical reach?
Alpine and its components are fully open source, you can make whatever changes you want to them. I am not seeing the argument here.
The people downvoting you have never experienced perfectly regular trees (and don’t understand CrossCode inside jokes).
They explain it in the video. They already use algorithms to detect if things are buildings or not.
But if their algorithm can’t make a determination or is uncertain below a certain threshold, they send it to Maptcha to get a bulk human opinion.
They’ve been on some kind of emulation crusade then, because it looks like they just killed Ryujinx:
It is. The user just won’t see any content from the server they blocked.
That’s entirely different. As an individual, I have the choice to send emails to, or block emails from, Gmail.com.
But on Lemmy, if I am on an instance that federates with Threads, and I don’t want Threads.net to get a copy of my content or posts (or have my content or posts show up on Threads.net in the future), then tough shit for me, my only option is to either go silent or move to an instance that has defederated from Threads.
People keep making the email argument, but it is not the same thing at all. I don’t think it’s fair for a large percentage of lemmy.world’s users to not have a voice in a decision that will absolutely impact them, nor is it fair to have a stance of “then leave then.”
Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying at first. You’re right, it’s not everything on the instance that gets sent, only those things that federated instances need.
But as a user, unless I run my own instance, I don’t get to decide when my posts or edits get sent out to any federated servers. That’s what I was referring to. All of that stuff gets sent out “like a firehose.”
And over time, as more people on Threads interact with certain ActivityPub instances, the range of communities Threads will be sent updates for might as well be the entire instance. If I block them, that’s just a visual block. My stuff will still be sent to them, and depending on how they set up their federation, my content might be available on “threads.net” as well.
ActivityPub doesn’t just push everything on a server to every federated instance like a fire hose.
I’m pretty sure Lemmy does? I run my own instance and that’s how it works.
Is Mastodon different?
This doesn’t solve the problem of sending Threads a copy of absolutely every bit of activity that happens on the instance. If I’m on an instance that federates with Threads, even if I put them out of sight/out of mind, they still get a copy of everything I do. A lot of people are on the fediverse for privacy reasons, yet here we are with people begging to hand Facebook this data on a silver platter.
“But why hide information that’s public? They could just scrape it.”
Yes, they could. But a real-time feed of activity is more complete, easier to manage, and doesn’t require them to go and build a scraping tool just for this.
If I don’t want Threads to have any of my data sent to them, I should be able to choose without needing to leave an instance I’ve been on for potentially years.
More like guesswork/assumptions than reality
Sorry to be blunt, but you’re not a developer and it shows. Android’s build system was purpose made to be reproducible. Electron was not.
There is so much going on in an Electron build, most of which is out of Signal’s control unless they maintain an entire fork of the Electron build stack. That is an enormous engineering effort for basically zero benefit.
It probably is functionally reproducible, apart from checksums differing due to build dates baked into the artifacts somewhere. It’s not as easy as you think.
If you think it’s as easy as “building it in a Docker container,” then by all means, try.
Neither of those are issues:
It’s not an assumption. The vanilla Signal app has code in it that disables itself after a certain period without updates. Unless they removed that from this app, then this will do the same thing.
Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information to go off of here. I was able to upgrade to 0.18.4 with no hitches, and I haven’t seen similar reports of this.
Are you using any custom configs? Do the logs for just the Lemmy service show you anything of note?
docker compose -p lemmy-easy-deploy logs lemmy
In the past, Lemmy itself has had some strange edge cases causing crashes, such as an improper audit log value causing the entire audit log to fail. It’s possible this is a similar case, in which case you may need to file a bug on Lemmy’s tracker.
You are welcome to file an issue with some more information and logs, but if this is an issue caused by a bug in Lemmy, unfortunately I won’t be able to fix it.
If you’re still having issues, feel free to give me some more info on my tracker and I can take a look:
Granted. The house fire subsides and there is no structural damage.
However, the house is now empty. Every belonging or piece of furniture has mysteriously disappeared.
You could only save one thing. You chose your house.
I really thought this was satire until your comment.
Who thought this was a good idea to publish…
Moon Channel, a lawyer who dives into some of the legal topics surrounding the gaming industry, most of them Nintendo related. Really well researched information about emulation legality, modding, even copyright infringement Nintendo themselves committed in the 90’s (in the Mother 3 video), all sorts of stuff.
He also has a few other things, like a REALLY LONG video on JRPGs, or commentary on MMOs.
No one is calling you a cheapskate. It’s just that when you said this:
its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need
…in context, it comes off as “Sync is not necessary to exist, therefore no one should pay him.”
I understand what you mean now, but you worded it terribly.
And by the way, going around in the comments being unnecessarily hostile and calling people “dumbfuck” or “asshole,” when they were just as confused at your poor phrasing, makes you come off as an asshole, so maybe work on that :)
Sync isn’t trying to replace all Lemmy frontends or other FOSS apps, it’s trying to provide a Reddit-like experience for people who miss it.
People just find reasons to be upset, I swear.
Ah I see, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining, I learned something from your comment and the other one.
