First question, why would we want monetization? people do amateur theatre, short movies for fun, volunteer do coach kids sport for fun so the whole society doesn’t have to be commercial, and even Wikipedia is mostly ran by volunteers.

I mean sure, federated instance and some authors may get government grant for culture (which would be better spend than for commercial movies, or all the government money spent in AI) but not monetizing won’t prevent people from contributing

Cancellation by the constitutional council or the European court for human rights in 5…4…3…

US spend over 100 years building a strong alliance with North Western nations. And in one month, this alliance looks weaker than ever. It’s not anymore the freedom fries joke because a smart friend told you to not do something stupid, but publicly considering invading two close ally (and restarting the good old mess in south America)

Note that, at least for people using mbins, _ upvotes are public_ and while downvotes are hidden (Which is weird IMO), instance admins, and people who know how to use lemmy’s software API, can access them.

I would separate the ones involving major airline, and the one involving private jets/smaller planes. Alaska has the reputation to be a place where people fly without a licence (Or lost their licence due to drunk-flying but kept flying) and winter ops there sounds like a bit more extreme than regular air-lines.

But indeed, planes aren’t supposed to do barrel roll on the runaway. not sure what happened, I expect to see some interesting "air-crash investigation " video in the coming years (Yes I am too lazy to read the report by myself)

No Gaza, No war in gaza :) It will just move to the next town after the Egyptian border.

Please tell me you’re mixing miles and km. Because that look an insane pace

Also a fair critic of Israeli government action isn’t antisemitic just like a fair critic of Iranian governments isn’t islamophobia.

While there is an antisemitic critic of Israel, raising concerns regarding human rights isn’t antisemitic nor supporting the hamas.

This is IMO a risk for many individual owned fediverse instance. Someone has a domain, at a point other admin take over, and the domain owner doesn’t renew no matter whether they forget because real life happens or due to some Drama.

Very few instances have a clear legal organizational (like a non profit club) running, which is more flexible when founders step out

This may actually have pretty big consequences for the US, especially if it doesn’t cool-down quickly. How long before some EU nation start to build some military ties with Russia and China ? Sure it’ll take decades to build an alliance, but a couple of liason officer and a joint exercise, most likely using counter-terrorism or anti-piracy as a pretext, may happen sooner than Trump think.

I would also not under estimate that in comparison to let’s say 5 years ago. Now every car maker and their dog has a decent E-car (and sometimes a lot of different ones) so Tesla hasn’t a monopoly anymore

Many countries do have hate-speech laws, and law against Nazi propaganda.

As usual intent and context matters, but I don’t see why you should defend the right to use racial slur in a racist manier

Can’t we just ban gaz, whatever where they come from?

While we do Drama about [Insert open source developper name here] we have open and closeted nazi owning social media and big software companies. So I think we should better focus on them than on whatever Drama in the FOSS world

Not sure whether the video that get share out of TikTok are the ones average user make. For many it’s just fun filters, big music library and a way to share video with friends. I doubt teenager randomly dancing on a music, or sharing pics of their horse-riding lessons try to make money on-it.

I really doubt that average TikTok (or instagram, or youtube) aims at monetizing video. It’s a way to share photo and video more than a way to make money. but I may be wrong.

Out of curiosity, what’s the difference between mbin and kbin ?

The instance should rename sh.itjustdont.works :)

It’s an opportunity to try kbin again, it seems the federation with fedia works way better than it did last time I tried, but I must say I am still somehow lost with it, it’s great bacause I see different magazines, but it sucks because it’s not “just a backup account”
