I don’t think you can use gpl for anything but code. Creative commons license would be more appropriate.

Consent isn’t legally required if it’s fair use. Whether it’s fair use remains to be ruled on by the courts.

What? No it doesn’t.

A lot of the value of subs, especially technical subs, is their backlog of content, usually technical help etc. That doesn’t sound like what this person was doing though. They were just trying to get the initial recent content over. Which you can say “No it doesn’t make sense” and I can say “I think it make senses” all day until we’re blue in the face.

No it isn’t.

Astounding rhetoric.

Migrating posts over seems reasonable to me. If you want to migrate people, you got to migrate content and lemmy is bereft of content.

The dude in question included their intention to move stuff in their application for an account.

Also lack of content is an issue on lemmy right now. We need more people posting.

Thought about that but it doesn’t seem to be active from what I can tell.

Because if you have to subdize to get marketshare then how are you going to maintain that marketshare once you stop subsidizing?

This has been the play for the last decade of cheap VC debt in tech. Wework, Uber, etc all these businesses operate at a loss in the hopes they can someday get a monopoly. That’s the explicitly stated business goal or Uber!

It’s not sustainable. It’s stupid and the bill will come due eventually.

Games as an industry is impossible to make money in unless you’re a platform owner. That’s just how it is. The 1983 game industry crash and Nintendo resurrection showed that. It’s just repeating the cycle.

They subsidizing in hopes they can gain monopolistic marketshare.

Federated marketplaces would make a ton of sense. Network effect is a huge issue with selling stuff.

I don’t think he’s ever come out in favor of sweatshops? Maybe you’re think of Matt ygelsia from vox.

There’s no intended camps in the image. It’s just a bunch of individual infighting.

What’s the point? Gadsen was a slave owning piece of shit. It’s a dumb flag.

That’s not what the meme is saying.

It is like reddit. People without reading comphrension are everywhere.

This!

What’s WA?

I wonder if Solid could be used to deal with federated ID?
