Venia Silente

Me being reminded I have my mbin account abandoned: 👀

Well, it should have been, once.

For those I just attach a note about it being an “IOT Error” in their report. Internet of Things is not, after all, that much different than a Internet of Tools.

Call me when it’s actually released. “We’ll release the music in the future” is worth exactly as much content as “we’ll release a Batgirl movie”.

Yeah but the interaction that is done in Australia is not part of the business chain. The catalogue was not mailed by my store. Someone else (an ISP, in this exercise) took it from an available stand in Italy and imported it (on their own) to Australia. (The closest I can think of to the material representation of “mailed catalogue” in this exercise is if I intentionally uploaded a copy of my .it website to an .au hosting)

For another analogy: if I were to post an Italian job offer in Italy, not only I am not subject to Malaysian (or Australian) labour law, but a third party in Malaysia reproducing the job offer there does not change that fact either. It’s their copy, and act-of-copy, of the job offer that is subject to Malaysian law, at best. And this should hold true regardless of the nature of the message: mere emission of the message can not be constituted as consecration of a legal responsibility towards any potential listener. If that was the case, it would be impossible to make any political, religious or scientific speech lawfully, as surely a law is being broken sometime, somewhere and a message can by its nature outlast the act of emission.

Nice try, fed.

A better analogy would be ‘Australian buys Italian goods from online store in Australia’.

The entire point of the analogy is that we are eschewing “online” stuff so that we can see how “bUt On tHE iNTeRnEt” applies, so “but make it an online store” is literally missing the point.

Better analogy in that sense would be still “Australian sends an agent to buy something from a physical store in Italy after finding a printed catalog that a third party imported into Australia from Italy”.

Not me eyeing my largely unused fedia account 👀

Well, they’d be supporting their local businesses for that I’d hope!

if you make your service available in Australia you must comply with Australian laws,

How does this even work? This is among the stupidest arguments I’ve ever heard on the internet, at about the same level of flat-earthism.

Are you saying if I am in Italy, selling Italian good on an Italian shop set in an Italian street, and an Australian tourist sends an agent to walk the Italian street and buy a thing for them from my Italian stand, I am somehow beholden to Australian law? This but “oN tHE iNtErNeT”?

pretty ridiculous

In the good way, yes. Who was it the admin of a Lemmy instance, I think, who said he would receive alcohol as a form of ID verification because to even acquire it legally in the first place you have to be of age, anyway? That’s pretty much golden and incentivizes the local economy!

Amazing. is Perl like, the countable infinity of unreadable languages or smth?

omg there’s stuff worse than Perl out there?

This looks somewhat like perl…

Still doesn’t make sense. One company is turning to AI so that drives you to other companies that already have AI and are precedentally worse?

I’m not saying Mozilla is a saint. The sooner we can replace the executive branch, the better. But the even better comparative is if somehow we don’t even need to get to that point in the first place, and not supporting Mozilla at the past edge of where they’re at is defo not gonna lead to that.

Looking at the situation and deciding that prefering Chrome would be better is exactly the bot position to take.

What? But Amerikkkans love war!

Eh, if it’s an unfair law it has to be fought. And since we have seen in Trump’s world the courts are not the place for that, I can think of very few places to do it. Most of them can equip guillotines, tho.

Who even uploads porn to imgur? There’s far better hosts for that…

The law was announced a long time before it came into effect,

Isn’t one of the basic principles of law that laws can not be made retroactive so as to arbitrarily extract punishment? if someone tells me “we’ll implement this law in 2026” and they do commit, then I’m unconcerned until 2025-12-31.
