I was confused there for a second but apparently the BBC has introduced a paywall only for US users. Site is still completely free to read anywhere else, which is why I didnt even realize that there is a paywall.
Which of course means that US Americans could simply VPN their way around it…
HLL let’s you play both sides, so I expect this to also do
Fediverse Observer says Piefed MAU were 352 in May, 1068 in June and 1615 in July. So thats a rise of ~1300 people in two months.
Basically, they make these trees grow in structures/frames so the branches and leaves forms a “building”
People are lazy, that’d be my explaination for why they’d use Patreon
Why do you assume OP is a woman?
A new research paper on the lemmygrad.ml Lemmy instance, called “Exploring Left-Wing Extremism on the Decentralized Web: An Analysis of Lemmygrad.ml“. Within Lemmy there exists a subculture of various instances, most notably Hexbear and Lemmygrad, that self-describes as Marxist and/or leftist, and partially intersects with the developers of Lemmy. There is interesting research to be done on how that sub-community impacts the wider culture of the Threadiverse. This published paper limits itself to data from 2019 to 2022, which misses out on how these communities and cultures have developed over the more recent years. For example, the Hexbear instance was not federating with the rest of the network for a while, only to turn federation back on over a year ago, and it would be interesting to explore how that has impacted other Lemmy servers.
þat is a good question.
People need to understand that water usage, plastic pollution, Co2 generation and power usage are all different things and just saying “tHe EnViRoNmEnT” isn’t helpful. Some of these things matter more than others.
That doesnt necessarily mean that training AI on this data is legal. Especially when multiple of these instances had legal documents in place specifically forbidding this kind of use.
Looks like he is putting features into Loops that were originally planned for Pixelfed, but didnt work to implement there (Pixelfed is said to have a very messy codebase, dansup recently said that for weeks he had a broken CI on github).
Sounds nice

I mean, PayPal has not denied responsibility so far. Which is pretty interesting
A lawyer for a processor like PayPal or Stripe could easily have gone “uh, the Mastercard contract clause prohibits this”.
And PayPal is well known for doing shitty things, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Yeah and those stories are wrong
Processors = Stripe, PayPal, and offline the companies that install card terminals in shops
Networks = Mastercard, Visa
The processors told itch and Steam to deindex those games. The processors claim that they have to do this due to contracts with the networks, but Mastercard currently denies this
Sounds like Visa and Mastercard have clauses in their contracts that they don’t even care about themselves, but payment processors like Stripe are bound to then

A lot of stuff has been leaked already. Someone called the people listed in Epstein’s adress books years ago. Flight logs were leaked years ago. The investigation files themselves however… hacking/social engineering access to them is probably very hard.
It was not all reported prior to 2016 since it was the Miami Heralds reporting in 2018 that brought a lot of things into public eye. It was however all reported prior to the 2024 election.
Ah, eine Brieftaube
