Isn’t both exactly the other way round?

The license (EUPL-1.2) specifically talks about redistributing either the source, or executable files. (see definition of original work, also distribution.) Nowhere do they mention a service running the work comes with any kinds of obligations? I just can’t find any single sentence in the license text covering SaaS…

Both “Copyleft clause” and “Provision of source code” are pretty clear as well. It’s only about distributing copies of the work. Not running it and providing it as a service.

And regarding the compatible licenses, they say the other one wins. At least regarding the “obligations”. However that’s defined and whether it’s the licensor’s or licensee’s obligations:

Should the Licensee’s obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
Licence shall prevail.

And next question: Isn’t that what the AGPL does but the specific variant of the EUPL they picked for their reticulum project doesn’t even do?

Edit: And furthermore, it’s no even as strict as the GPL because everyone is allowed to redistribute it under the terms of the LGPL?

The account doesn’t matter. What you need to do is leave the torrent program on your computer running. And the files you want to seed need to be in the list of that program.

Also make sure you know what you’re doing. You might be pirating and that might come with legal consequences. So read about the law and use protection.

Guess depending on the type of talk or course OP does, choosing the instance could be a nice part of the lesson! Demonstrates nicely what the Fediverse is and how it operates. Also teaches them to get on board the next Fedi platform all by themselves, once they choose to.

You’d obviously still need to prepare that lesson, though and have some kind of knowledge about the instances.

Thanks. I was just about to figure it out by how quick someone (or something) writes 4 paragraphs. But I wasn’t quite there yet, so thanks for the help!

You’re dumping duplicate posts. You don’t read the room or any of the rules in the sidebar… You’re not doing anything like what you just said?

Not doing what you just said yourself is literally the reason why you get your posts removed. 👀

Well, I’ve had arguments about this very issue before. If you ask me… If you do both, you do some good. At the same time you’re also drowning people in noise. Which is going to be a disservice to everyone. Now I can’t see the good content anymore because it’s buried in random other stuff. I’ve muted several people because of that. I know some other people uphold similar opinions as me. Not everyone… But we really get a buttload of politics and news dumped here, copies of memes we already saw on some other platforms, making Lemmy seem like the cheap copycat… A lot of people rather have good content only and skip the added noise. That’d make it feel like a nice place. Maybe a bit smaller than the competition, but at least it has good content and a nice atmosphere. … Every added non-genuine or original post takes away from that.

Yeah, though that’s not original in any way. It’s a curated dumpster of Reddit posts. And people don’t like it. As I said we’ve already tried it before. We shouldn’t keep making the same mistake over and over again. We need less re-posts, less rehashing of content from better platforms… Why would anyone join a platform with mostly re-used material? They’re gonna stick with the original! And that’s where we’re at.

Edit: Sorry, already posted this above

We do need more people, more original content…

Issue is… It can’t be low quality content. Reposts also kinda make it look like a dead place with mostly bot activity… You’re not the first person to come up with the idea to spam this place and it’ll attract users. We already tried this strategy over and over again, and it does NOT attract new users. You can look up a bit of history of this place and you’ll see you have to come up with a better idea and not continue to make the same mistake other people already made.

OP has a point though. We do need more people, more original content…

Issue is… (and I’m explaining this to OP:) It can’t be low quality content. Reposts also kinda make it look like a dead place with mostly bot activity… You’re not the first person to come up with the idea to spam this place and it’ll attract users. We already tried this strategy and it does not attract new users.

That’s a known issue. There might be some improvements for you with the upcoming version 1.0. I’m not sure if that’s gradual improvement or more fundamental changes… But many parts of the moderation system aren’t perfect and everyone is aware of its limitations. I think you’re invited to help out if you can contribute code, come up with a specification that works smoothly in real-life (including edge-cases), become a mod and do a better job at it than the current ones, or anything like that.

I guess complaining is fine as well. But you really don’t want to be part of the problem at the same time. Nobody is going to listen to you this way. You want to be part of the solution to give some weight to your words/opinion.

And good luck with your opinion how Reddit is better than this place… As far as I know they have way better systems to track you, prevent ban-evasion, they have some fully automatic systems to silence you… You can’t even look at what kind of information they keep about you… That’s kinda caprice as we do times a thousand if you ask me. But you’re also invited to use that platform if you like it better?!

Strictly speaking, it’s not the first time. We’ve had issues with the specific way the modlog works, before. But usually that’s edge-cases. Not someone questioning transparency and accountability be part of the platform in itself…

Seems you post a lot of duplicates. No wonder your posts get deleted if you keep spamming exactly the same post multiple times??? And then you violate community rules… After that you seem to be doing ban-evasion… I mean… Seems to me like Lemmy is working exactly as intended?! This isn’t a place to dump random spam posts? You gotta learn what this place is about.

You can’t just throw some dogfood at people and demand they like it. You’re not the center of the universe. Maybe start your own community if that’s your thing. You’d be able to make up your own rules there. There’s a button in the top menu bar.

Challenge accepted!

I think you forgot conspiracy nut, antisemite, misogynist, homophobe… and a bunch more.

I think it’s basically what you said. There’s some organizations on Mastodon, some German newspapers and tech magazines, game developers, a few artists and some more known people from hacker spaces. We don’t really have that here.

PieFed has a feature pretty much like that. Once I drop a link into the new post form, it takes a while and loads a table with previous posts. Already helped me when I put in a YouTube like I rediscovered. But I had already posted it 3 months earlier… It’s a very good feature to have. And probably not that difficult to implement.

I think one of the issues with the AI bubble is, it’s going do destroy x trillions of investment money if it does not replace 30% of the human workforce til 203x. I forgot the exact ratio. But people did the numbers on how much people we need to let go (or productivity increase) to make the ludicrous investment bubble in AI work out. So either it happens… Or a lot of money is wasted.

Not sure if money is real or made up, but it’s a considerable amount. So if the GDP of the US or China tanks because companies wasted their capital, they might need to let go of people nonetheless, in turn fulfilling parts of the prophecy in a different way… But with hundreds and hundreds of billions already invested per country, the investors are eventually going to need their money back and we’re already committed to this kind of future.

This is the first time I heard the term “good AI”. Is that a term people use?

But I wonder what Fediverse software she’s talking about. I mean we definitely have interoperability. But moving accounts (portability) is kinda notoriously difficult. A lot of platforms don’t support it, or don’t support it well… It is supported by Mastodon but you really want to read the 2-3 pages of extra information because it’s not entirely seamless… It’s not the first thing that comes to my mind when talking about why the Fediverse is great.

I really like the overall message, though. Also: always remember we don’t have to subscribe to some extremes. It rarely needs to be 100% boycot while not doing anything else to change the bigger picture… Or on the other end of the extremes: 100% demand the government do something while continuing to endulge in doomscrolling sessions on TikTok and X… I think something in the middle would be great. Keep your Instagram account if you like… Use it a bit less, in turn use the Fediverse a bit more… And spend some time molesting your representatives. Tell them it’s about time to regulate big tech. Or to get a bit of our personal data back under our control. Would also be nice if one day Jeff Bezos paid more taxes than me… Just saying.

Awesome. Hope this happens. Just make up some clear guidelines on what to expect. Like video, or audio only. Singing, playing instruments, maybe the shittyflute… C64 SID music… maybe include a statement on generative AI.

And better coordinate with other events. Shouldn’t clash with Canvas, The Button, Lemmyvision…
