Or an AI that’s pulling over cheap and old cars because the owners are more likely to get ticketed due to living in over-policed neighbourhoods.

How long before we find out it always flags certain makes and models as criminals?

Let me know when you know.

It’s legal to end a license at your own arbitrary discretion if that’s under the license terms (it is)

Ya I wasn’t really making an argument.

It’s entirely legal, yes. As people have been saying for years, you don’t own the games, you own a license to them.

They’re gonna be NFTs come next week

US Courts have already ruled in the past that human authorship is required for copyright. It’d be a logical conclusion as such that human authorship would also be required to justify a fair use defence. You providing a summary without any quotations would likely justify fair use - which is still copyright infringement, but a mere defence of said infringement. A machine or algorithm that cannot perform the act of creative authorship would thus not be exempted by the fair use defence.

Because the redneck themed one wants to call queer people groomers and have them sentenced to death by firing squad.

There’s also many small-to-medium sized instances that just haven’t bothered signing that will be defederating. Mastodon.social’s gonna be one of the few who do, and I already think it’s fine to defederate from them too tbh.

I think this is going outside the realm of self-hosting and moreso into actually creating a server architecture. All servers would need to use the same database, so you’d want likely as its own server a database server, caches on the front-end servers so popular things aren’t queried for the same info again and again.

I’ve never set up anything like this, so this is just me trying to think of how I’d throw it together, I’m sure there’s a bunch of async problems I’ve not even considered how to tackle, and even having the DB be offsite from either of the front-end servers would be less than ideal.

I suppose you could have the DB in one of the servers, but then that one now has the same frontend-load as the other while it also is the only one doing DB queries, so the load’s not really being distributed properly. 🫠

Since they’re so expensive, Ford’s developer donors make more money off single-family homes than anything affordable.

“usersurname”. I like that.

Oh you can just hit the “All” button on the communities page!

They want to make 1.5 million single family homes “to attack the housing crisis”.

The most expensive type of home.

Ya, on Lemmy’s end there’d still be control over the removal of content.

Though I do wonder if it even makes sense for interop to come from Lemmy’s side? After all, Lemmy’s just one of many implementations of ActivityPub. Kbin, Mastodon, and other softwares can freely traverse Lemmy with varying levels of usability. Instead of implementing Aether interop from the Lemmy side and give Lemmy access to Aether content, it seems more sensible to make Aether interoperable with the ActivityPub protocol. Of course this isn’t exactly feasible without a maintained fork.

Censorship is good in certain instances. Whether it be doxxing, revenge-porn, CP, having things ephemeral and unremovable by any means is bad.

Because the size of it, the sheer centralization around it, it creeps me out.
