Bluesky does not have instances. It’s an enterprise-architecture “solution” that almost nobody can (probably intentionally) host all of. The AppView in particular is difficult since it requires terabytes of storage and is likely to keep growing and it is also one of the components where they have done some moderation actions in the past.

Only one even close to providing a full alternative is Blacksky with their budget approaching $100k/year but even they don’t have their AppView running in production yet.

This seems like your standard open core/dual licensing, CLA controlled BS where open source is indeed treated like an inconvenience… Perhaps with more obfuscation than on average. Probably not really adding requirements on top of AGPL as such but they seem to be offering multiple releases under a more restrictive license either because they have the rights so they can do dual licensing or they keep certain components proprietary and don’t offer those with the team/community editions.

So yeah, probably within their legal rights and I assume there is still a codebase/release that you can use under the terms of the AGPL but they do seem to be looking for ways to make it be used as little as possible.

I could be wrong if the AGPL and other open source parts aren’t enough for actually compiling a functional version of this but this is what it mostly looks like to me.

which conditions on top of AGPL are they adding?

Basic math or not, you failed to respond to the actual claim and thus failed basic logic yourself. It wasn’t just third party votes, the poster also included those that stayed home because of this profoundly bad idea that not voting for Harris would lead to anything good.

It is. Also widely bridged with Matrix.

Hopefully it won’t be like Nokia and Stephen Elop.

This may be the best episode yet for me. Things have been a bit slow until the end of the last episode but we’re really ramping it up now. Like others I don’t really get the toilet humor, I guess they decided that’s the way this show can be different…

The three degrees of freedom in 3dof are rotational: pitch, yaw and roll. The 3 that get added in 6dof are positional, forward/back, up/down, left/right

We’ve got phones with that amount of RAM now so it definitely isn’t something just reserved for desktops. I tend to like getting something with plenty resources even if it’s unnecessary at the time because it often means a longer lifespan for the hardware…

They do still make Pi3, they guarantee availability for a decade for each model and there’s still over 3 years to go until Pi 3 hits that.

to be fair I don’t think they like anything besides Google Pixel.

I think this was the first episode with things starting to really get interesting. Egg being a Targaryen was signaled so hard that almost no-one could be surprised by the reveal itself but the way it happened and how much it seems to to change the direction where the story’s going certainly did it for me.

hard to even be sure who its allies are at this point.

Interesting. They seem to be saying the index consists only of European sites as well. If that’s the case I hope we can also do searches within Europe, the Ecosia announcement doesn’t say much about that.

Again because a law can either be unnegotiable or something that can be superseded by a contract. Anyway, I was just wondering what type it is in this particular case. What you seem to be saying is that it can in fact be superseded if it is possible to enter into a contract where you agree to waive those rights.

Well, parent poster was talking about Mastodon, you seem to be talking about threadiverse platforms like Lemmy. One thing that applies to both and every single platform that is large enough for that to happen is that you’re always going to lose out on a lot of the content because there is just too much content for one person to look at. It isn’t actually that difficult to subscribe so much that you get past that point in my experience.

For the Mastodon-type fediverse microblogging platforms there’s some things that can help when trying to sift through the more popular stuff more (and less) similarly to how an algorithmic timeline would do it. Boost bots that track what’s trending and tools like Phanpy that allow you to check out what has been boosted the most in your recent timeline. There’s also starter packs (currently a fedidevs third party feature but will be added to Mastodon in the future too) and Sharkey antennas that let you watch for keywords over all the posts that flow through your instance. When it comes to things that aren’t here yet but are being worked on Fediscovery seems very promising.

Maybe some of that stuff should exist for Lemmy etc. too or maybe the “all” feed could be improved.

we were talking about laws that exist in Germany and perhaps somewhere else too. Are you commenting on the German law specifically and familiar enough with it to say it can be superseded by a contract?

If there is a law that puts limits on what you can agree to in a contract then you don’t get around it by making a contract that violates the law.

You should be able to separate the general idea and whether we’re talking just law or morals here. Sure, copyright law gives ridiculously broad control to the copyright holder. They can just outright go after mods in general and disallow them free or not too. I guess if your position is that modding should just not be allowed in general then that’s at least consistent. Personally I think regardless of law things like reverse engineering and mods should exist at least in some form though.

it’s a poor argument because the game couldn’t exist either without many other companies and individuals having invested millions and millions or their labor in order to release, promote and support other things.
