Ricardo was testing in production

Any specific infringement material (by which I mean media) would only be on the user’s home server. Links to content aren’t what is actionable for a DMCA notice as far as I’m aware. And the DMCA does not require platforms to actively monitor or remove potentially infringing content, only to follow the takedown procedure when sent an appropriate notification. If they follow that then they are protected from liability. That’s US law but IIRC the implementations in most of the rest of the world are similar if not the same. And here’s the rub: even without those communities, LW will still need to have a DMCA agent and take action against content when notified because people can and will upload infringing media here on other communities.

They’re not exposing themselves to additional risk by having the piracy communities unblocked. People can and will discuss piracy, in abstract terms at the very least, all over the place. And discussion of copyright infringement is not copyright infringement anyway. Any liability and risk they do hold they will still have to worry about now regardless.

Does your lemmy instance have a character limit?

I think a lot of the issue is the widespread use of the term Intellectual Property which, arguably deliberately, conflates a few completely distinct legal concepts under one umbrella.

If you don’t like the gestures (like me) the most recent version has options to turn them off and give you buttons instead. For me thunder is nearly there in terms of being the experience I want. I wish it handled that back button better, but all the other apps like Jerboa also suffer poor back button behaviour too.

IIRC it doesn’t need a display, it’s a Web-based UI that you can use from another computer on the network if it doesn’t have a display, VNC would be overkill. Maybe they changed that.

There is a more performant C++ implementation but it’s been a long while since I’ve used either it or the java implementation. Worth checking out.

Yeah, this is it. I had this happen to the community I moderate today. The fix can only be applied by admins.

you can simply mutate the url from https://other.instance/c/community to https://your.instance/c/community@other.instace but yeah, it’s a pain. It’s a good opportunity for a simple browser extension or script that does some URL rewriting.

I found that on mobile, Jerboa has some instance url associations for major instances and that means that links can open in that, where you’re logged in to your account on your home instance, and it handles it. but it’s been hit-and-miss for me as to whether it’ll open in the app or continue in mobile browser.

I recently bought RIF golden platinum just to give back to the dev, knowing that very soon the app will stop working. I’m hoping the dev could reuse his code and swap out the backend to make a lemmy client of the same caliber. It really is a good app.

Hall-effect fediverse client when?
