Because they exist in a grey area of copyright. It’s not precisely defined, and so it’s a honor system.

Paid mods, simply by existing, threatens the honor system. You keep touting Kunos and profits. what relevance is profits in this? Honoring CDPR’s wishes and applauding Kunos’ leniency still work in this system. What is not is someone pointing at that generosity and demand that it is the default. Those paid mods threaten to put other game modders existence into legal jeopardy because people who keep arguing just because one company is generous other companies must also give away their rights.

now that it is involving dmca if pursued further it’s write new laws or court case.

It’s not about bankrupcy, it’s about setting rules about their property. Some rights are enshrined in laws; derivative works are fair use. are mods fair use? nobody knows. but not if you charge for it, that requires licensing. no one wants to see precision laws being written about this, so everyone has to play by the developer’s rules. realistically that guy wants money from CDPR assets and CDPR said no you can’t do that.

Kunos giving modders the right to use their name freely does not mean CDPR has to. That’s what holding an IP means, you set the rules. and CDPR says if you use our name it cannot be paywalled media.

using a silicon ice cube maker- saute a 2:2:1 ratio by volume mix of very finely sliced garlic, shallot and ginger. add equal amount of that finely sliced spring onion after they get fragrant and saute till those are wilted. spoon into the ice cube maker and tamp down until packed tight, freeze them and use them one cube at a time with ramen.

you can freeze any prepared combo of stuff this way and put them in the ramen later. garlic-onion-mushroom-black pepper and add soy sauce while cooking for black pepper noodles, for example.

i haven’t done serious it work since xp and still any troubleshooting and even searching for personal computer answers is still far easier on windows. the fundamentals are fundamentals especially when you watch them get more complicated since dos. hide and seek and tricking windows is a familiar game. whereas linux will always be somewhat strange despite having used them equally as long and the more recent.

Python and node.js successfully transitioned out of the bdfl phase through wildly different paths. might be interesting for a while though.

got mint xfce, because that’s what i used before win10, and that’s what i use on and off usually ever since then. i think it’s gnome that made me change to xfce and it was clunky back then on ubuntu, though i can’t remember my actual beef with it, so i changed to mint and never changed to anything else.

i use handwriting input on windows and have bullied the pattern recognition into learning my handwriting almost perfectly - that’s the only thing i miss. i miss it a lot…

expecting at some point my mom will give up and ask for linux on her windows 10 laptop since her grandkids use ‘free online games’ websites (she doesn’t do any banking or serious stuff on it, so i’m not that bothered) and it will get devoured by malware but even odds it will be me or my brother.

randomly came across these, so yeah.

They have for public benefit program where they give out their paid security tiers for free? If you can get recommended into it. Build a lot of goodwill there for non-profits community.

I once left a torrent on for ~three years at 50%, obviously no one seeded that anymore. one day i realised it was completed, and i have no idea when. now i only streamed my high sea amusements, i don’t even have a torrent client on anymore, but i like to think that the three copies seeded from mine (based on uploaded data) is still out there somewhere.

DDNS

Before social media back in the 2000's i know quite a few personal site using home servers using them. And (google google) apparently these days cloudflare offers the service.

maybe this problem is more than it really is, maybe youtube really really needs eyes on ads.

Louis Rossman said in one of his video that at his views level it would cost him ~10k a year to host outside of youtube.

There’s a mechanic advice community that’s not memey…

can i have link please

Intensity warning is a good thing. Though it does make tagging complicated, but in this case overlapping tags would do. blood-death and gore-death and simply death.

probably shouldn't borrow the exact terms from fandom, but they have tag modifiers like 'dead dove: do not eat' which basically means this is an absolute celebration of the previous tag, so gore tag coupled with that tag is gore intensified to the max, while they also use tags 'slight mentions of gore' for only a bit of gore. but if you filter out gore both would still be filtered out.

AO3 runs on open source software and has a very robust tagging system.

Yeah, i found that. As it is pretty clear that official support for tagging is not there, causing mayhem here looks like the better idea.

fediverse don’t seem to acknowledge there are different forms of posting, and each of them had to be treated differently. Asking for multiple different interfaces for is a bit too much. But it is what is needed. Interacting with mastodon is what - a top post, it’s reposts, a user timeline, followed timeline, hashtags, these are things that do not exist in lemmy.

There’s talks of tumblr should join the fediverse. But how are two, ten, fifty posts chained together, each one carrying upwards to twenty tags going to be handled through lemmy. A post can be five hundred different chains and more than ten million notes.

/u/username get’s a lemmy user’s comments and posts in lemmy.
maybe /u/username/shorts/ gets a minimal mastodon feed enough to view and reply.

Tagging. Flair. Hashtags. Some kind of meta information.

Even in reddit posts can have flair. Lemmy have come to the edge of not having a filtering system, and need one asap. community specific tags or lemmy-wide tags or organic loose tagging, something is needed.

In ten years some kids in a discord round robin gonna ask why the fake social media in fanfiction are little blue birds. Wait they used to be real??

The names/addresses of these might create problems? Maybe lemmy.ml/c/user/blog and lemmy.ml/c/user/microblog

It’s already /u/user, /c/community

so blog: lemmy.ml/b/user microblog: lemmy.my/m/user

dash (posts from users you follow): lemmy.ml/d/user
dash (long form posts from users you follow): lemmy.ml/e/user
dash (microblog posts from users you follow): lemmy.ml/f/user
-lemmy.ml/d/b/user -lemmy.ml/d/m/user/m

tags (all posts with this tag only): lemmy.ml/t/<tag>
tags (all long form posts with this tag only): lemmy.ml/v/<tag>
tags (all microblog posts with this tag only): lemmy.ml/w/<tag>
-lemmy.ml/t/b/<tag> -lemmy.ml/t/m/<tag>

Yeah, lemmy isn’t really suited. only the surface level is similar - I don’t think whatever i want or build matter, anyway. I’m just going to see how it falls out and drag myself to whatever the key players go to if they do.
