  • @01011@monero.town So if I've illegally downloaded every paper and book published by Matthew Sag, Zahr K. Said, Jessica Silbey and Rebecca Tushnet and used that content to create an app that would output legal briefs in their voice saying whatever someone was willing to pay me to make it say, that is now legal? Or would that not qualify as "transformative" as shilling for $$$ is what lawyers have been doing for centuries?

  • @Yazer@lemmy.ca there is also the 50501 group organizing protests in all 50 states April 5.

    As others have commented, there haven't been protests this large and often in the US since the Vietnam War. Organizing this takes time. Organizing without using billionaire owned services with questionable privacy policies takes even longer... but it is happening.

    @Confidant6198@lemmy.ml I thought we were finally making progress with Rank Choice Voting starting to gain traction, but agree... there may not be enough left to salvage after this unless the MAGA movement collapses before the midterms... assuming we still are have elections and people other than white land owners can vote. Still not entirely sure how far back Trump supporters need to go for the "again" point when America was great.

    MAGA are NOT the majority of Americans, but sadly they only slightly exceed the Americans who don't vote at all. While not the government many Americans wanted, when "I'm not into politics" stopped resulting in an immediate response of "so you aren't American?", we ended up with the government we deserve.

  • @PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world https://feedsin.space/ is a free service that will post items from an RSS feed to Mastodon.

    I looked for a solution to do this with #Mbin ~6 months ago, but couldn't find anything anyone else had shared. I did find solutions that claimed to work for Lemmy, but I did not try to configure those. I'm a PHP developer building a community site for other PHP developer so Mbin is a better fit for us.

    Going to look at this again soon.

    @juergen@feddit.org Are you a Tesla owner who only charges at Telsa charging stations? Tesla doesn't even own the majority of charging stations in the US. They only recently started allowing non-Teslas to use their chargers. Where did you think all the other EVs were charging?

    Tesla will be taken over by PE who will sell off the charging network. Once rebranded as ChargePoint or Electrify America, they will will no lobger be targeted by vandalism and arson. The cost of removing the toxic Tesla brand isn't trivial, but the locations and infrastructure have value. They won't just be turned off when there is profit to made.

  • @juergen@feddit.org "Fuck Elon" is becoming the punch buggy of this generation.

    Combine a toxic brand with a level of ridiculously poor Quality Control we haven't seen from a US automaker since the Saturn brand, and you get a price point/distressd asset that PE will be looking at. They've already calculated the value of selling Tesla for parts and just waiting for the stock to hit a number to act. Elon is so over leveraged, there will be nothing he can do to stop it.

  • @Tea@programming.dev being threaten with jail time and fines won't be enough, but the potential punishment needs to be so severe and harasment so relentless they'd consider hanging themselves instead. Aaron Swartz will not be forgotten.

    When I learned to write headlines 30 years ago, the goal was to capture the gist of the article. We'd write something like...

    Proposd Take It Down Law Would Be Used as a Weapon

    I'm not sure it's possible to train AI to write effectively headlines after 20 years of clickbaiting and controversy "journalism".

  • @haverholm@kbin.earth I don't know much about this plugin, but I do know it was "aquired" by Automattic... basically meaning that the developer was hired to work for Automattic. I don't watch every episode of As WP Turns, but in the last episode of that drama I watched I think Matt announced that Automattic was scaling back their contributions to the open source aspects of WP... which would include this plugin.

    If you want to see this change, you will likely need to make the request in the form of a PR. If you don't have the knowledge and skills required to do that (and aren't willing to invest the time it take to gain that knowledge and skill), I suggest you start being more professional and polite when making requests for the changes you want.

    You've paid nothing for this code. Have some empathy for the maintainer.

  • @anzo@programming.dev are you referring to kbin.melroy.org? Don't let the DNS fool you. Like most Kbin instances, kbin.melroy.org is now running Mbin. In fact, kbin.melroy.org is run be the developer leading the Mbin project. My understanding from following a bitnofnthe Kbin/Mbin drama was that Melroy tried contributing to Kbin, but found Earnest unwilling to collaborate or delegate. If you look at https://fedidb.org/software/mbin, you'll see many of the large instances that launched with kbin in the URL are actually running Mbin now.

  • @anzo@programming.dev when I joined Pixelfed, I was able to use my fosstodon.org account. Do any of the MBin instance allow that type of cross service authentication yet?
