I’m quite sure such on the fly price changes are illegal. At least here in Denmark.

Agreed, I would definitely not refer to the first one as self hosting without qualifying further.

Convincing analysis. I guess the question is, if we assume this is the case, will the industry ever heal?

Yes that is true - although many games on Steam can play offline so because I download the game, I own it in that fashion. They can’t take that away.

But compare with GOG then. They sell games, you download them with no DRM so you own the download essentially.

rights expire for TV shows and movies far more often than they do for games

Any idea why there is this discrepancy between TV and games?

Why is licensing so easy with games though? It really seems like there’s this arbitrary difference in how the video games and streaming industries work.

What would it take to get a “Steam but TV/movies instead of games”? I feel like if I could see reviews of movies and I could buy them and download them and have them forever and buy them on sale and all that good stuff, it wouldn’t be so bad.

How come none of the streaming services have gone for this model? Steam is swimming in money, surely this method could work?

The judge found that X Corp’s argument exposed a tension between the platform’s desire to control user data while also enjoying the safe harbor of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which allows X to avoid liability for third-party content. If X owned the data, it could perhaps argue it has exclusive rights to control the data, but then it wouldn’t have safe harbor.

“X Corp. wants it both ways: to keep its safe harbors yet exercise a copyright owner’s right to exclude, wresting fees from those who wish to extract and copy X users’ content,” Alsup wrote.

Seems like a sound judgement. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If Elon Musk wants to own the data, he must also be liable for it.

Maybe look into https://nginxproxymanager.com/ it makes it quite easy to set up.

First time I hear about it too. I prefer usual horizontal tabs but I have several coworkers that use tree style tabs or similar as well. More customization/choice is usually good :)

I mean I get that and I think many people on the Fediverse agrees, but I showed my girlfriend this picture with the red panda background and she’s excited about this feature (and hence Firefox) because of a red panda.

Don’t underestimate or undervalue catering to non-technical people. If we want Firefox to be adopted more widely, we need those people to enjoy the experience.

The best place to check is if there is an open issue on the GitHub page that matches your issue. If there isn’t, create an issue yourself.

Does this one match? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4120

Seems to be there? https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

On which instance have you tried searching for it? Do you have a user on that instance?

At its heart, the DMA requires more interoperability than ever, making it harder for gatekeepers to favor their own services or block other businesses from reaching consumers on their platforms.

Wow Google/Apple/etc. will actually have to compete instead of just having a de facto monopoly? But how could they ever earn money under such conditions /s

GitHub repositories can also have “Discussions” which are separate from issues. There’s also a project concept on GitHub. I think you could just use what GitHub already has built in.

If appealing to furries can get Firefox more adoption, I say do it.

This is one benefit of the walled garden of places like Reddit because they are legally obligated to delete the information especially in places like the EU.

In theory yes, but anyone can also scrape reddit for all its posts and comments (and someone likely is). And nobody is making them delete the data. And then there’s stuff like the Internet archive complicating stuff further.

I really like that perspective, thank you for easing my fear.

The kind of frightening thing is that anyone could start an instance on the Fediverse, collect all the posts and comments coming in as all instances usually do and then use it to do the same thing, and I’m not sure there’s currently anything (legally or otherwise) stopping them.

But at least we have the option to defederate such an instance. If we can find out which ones do it…
