That’s a great idea, thanks :)

This is all very helpful, thank you :)

Any Creative Commons license will require the festival to list a credit for your work. That might not be an issue for the app or website, but the festival might not be interested in listing “poster by Tippon, used under a Creative Commons 4.0 license” every time they use something you created on social media, in print, or advertising.

I didn’t know about that. I thought they might have to credit me, but didn’t know that it would need to be on the work itself. I definitely don’t want that. I hadn’t thought about third parties either. I doubt that anyone would try to rip us off, but I don’t want to leave that door open either, just in case.

I’m not overly concerned with future clients, as I’m medically retired and just doing this as a learning exercise. There’s a tiny chance that I might get future work from this, but I’m more concerned with not cutting myself off from using the website / app template if I was to fall out with the festival at some point. As you say though, I don’t want to leave either me or the festival open to having the content stolen either.

I’ve just realised that I need to double check how to handle third party images too. We have some local businesses who support the festival, so we use their logos as links on the site. If I include them in the repository, I don’t want to accidentally give them away.

I’ve got some reading to do! :D

This is a good point, thank you :)

I was thinking along the lines of not restricting myself from using my own work in the future, but I hadn’t thought about third parties being able to use it too. I’m not concerned about other people using the code behind the website, for example. I’m still learning, so it’s probably more spaghetti than anything decent, but @jqubed@lemmy.world pointed out in their reply, I wouldn’t be able to stop anyone from using graphics etc.

That’s brilliant, thank you :)

This is very helpful, thank you both :)

Uncle Benned, or Obi Wan Kenobi Benned? 🤔

Not my kid, but this made me laugh.

Picking my kid up from school after a funeral, I saw one of the teachers standing in the rain while sending the kids to their parents, so I stood next to him with my umbrella. One of the kids looked back at him to say goodbye, did a double take, and just stopped dead. Looking me up and down in my black suit, she asked the teacher ‘Sir, is this your butler?’

Kids don’t care about it being super accurate to the source though, they see the Minecraft world with loads of blocks and blocky looking animals, and it’s close enough. Then the Minecraft logo appears, and they’re sold.

In your example, they would probably just hand wave it away as the mega blocks being different Lego blocks, and possibly get excited that there might be new Lego coming

It’s exactly this. I showed my eight year old the trailer earlier, and judging by the excited exclamations, we’ll be watching this in the cinema

You’re being downvoted, but you’re right. Every adapter I’ve bought for a full sized hard drive has needed its own power supply. I’m not sure if I’ve seen one for a PATA drive that didn’t come with one.

I like it! 😁

I didn’t say that it was being used to represent anyone, or that it was being stolen, I said that it was already in use. To use your examples, I’d think that using Pi or the degree symbol to represent the fediverse would be a bad idea too, as they could also lead to confusion. The semicolon is punctuation, so there’s less chance of confusion with that.

If an astronomy group made a poster with the three stars, would the stars be representing star clusters, or advertising that they’re on the fediverse? Given that the fediverse is still relatively small, is there more chance of the stars being seen as an astronomical symbol?

Am I misunderstanding this - you want to replace a recognised symbol with a symbol that’s already being used by another group? That seems counterproductive at best.

I’m also wondering, have you spoken to anyone with poor eyesight? This is my reply to a comment below suggesting that the new symbol would be easier to read:

I’m reading this thread on mobile, and the fediverse logo next to the community name is much easier to see than the three stars. If I didn’t already know what the three stars were from the rest of the post, I wouldn’t have a clue what they were supposed to be in the body. They look like a blurry capital A. Obviously the fediverse logo is bigger there, which helps, but it’s not significantly bigger, and would still be clearer at a smaller size

They don’t shove them to the side, they put the new kidney in the front 👍

86% of Mozilla’s revenue came from the agreement keeping Google as Firefox’s default search engine

That explains a lot. I’ve only recently switched back to Firefox after Chrome took the throne years ago. I still use Google’s services for now, so wanted their home page as my new tab page.

The only way I could find to do that was by using an extension, but every so often I get a warning from FF that my new tab page has been changed, and it gets reset. I looked up a way to stop the warnings, and found a Mozilla blog post with comments from staff claiming that it’s a security feature.

Apparently the only reason that you might not want to start with the FF start page is because you’ve been hacked 🙄

I had the same problem. Luckily for me I found out before they went past the 30 day?* window, so I was able to renew and then transfer them away.

*I can’t remember the exact length of the window, but I think that’s right.

That’s a really good idea, thanks for the link :)

Brilliant, thank you :)

I’m going to give it a go over the weekend and see what happens :)
