Of course. No way they are going to poison themselves without poisoning everyone else around them alongside.

Relevant Article: Asian News International sues Wikipedia for "Defamation" and Archived version

Apparently, Delhi High Court asked Wikipedia to disclose information about editors of said article, which made some controversial edits on the Wikipedia ANI page.

The article states that Wikipedia failed to provide said information.

From the article

Wikipedia explained that the delay had been caused as the platform didn’t have any physical presence in India.

“It is not a question of the defendant not being an entity in India. We will close your business transactions here," the judge said in a stark warning.

ANI asks for removal of said "controversial" edits and wants ₹20000000, ~$240k from Wikipedia.


Archived original article


From the related article:

2022-10-10: Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers of India filed petitions to the Supreme Court, saying that an article on Wikipedia about them, as defamatory. To that, the bench said, "You can edit the Wikipedia article..." and that they could use "any other remedy available to them".


Additional information from me:

  • IP Addresses of people in Talk and the times of edit are available freely on the Wikipedia page.
  • Wikipedia SHOULD NOT be expected to have the ability to trace people on the internet any more than that.

I came across a stackexchange thread asking if system root access will be required to be given to the user.

And the answer explaining the license and saying they needed to let the user be able to swap the libs on the system somehow.

And because I just joined the community and can't comment there, here I am.

I feel like, the seller doesn't really need to give root access to the user as long as they allow the user to copy said proprietary software on another system (and this act not be restricted by the license) and then do whatever they feel like, as long as the original system is immutated.

Thoughts?

I actually considered a non-governmental, community regulated currency as a pretty good idea.

Problem is, crypto is too ecologically expensive and wasteful to fit the bill.

While there were some interesting ones, that actually used the processing power for something useful, most are not. So for now, I'll just go with governmental currencies.

Came back to the game after a year or so, just to see this:

Shows how to opt-out

At least they let us disagree to the ToC. Not sure if I can play the game after that though, since I just exited after clicking the disagree button.

Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.

The reason is tradition.
Because they got money in turn for publishing and distributing the books in the past, now they want to continue getting exorbitant fees even though they are not providing any real value any-more.

All we need is a single universal Space-Time map that will tell the time (in any and all formats) at any point in space, taking into consideration, all the events caused by all the forces that cause existence, from the start of this universe. Then it can take the place of both, maps and clocks.

Just make sure it is memory safe. Oh and properly escape all queries. And also ...

That should last us until we start exploring the space outside the universe.

It's kinda fun to think of programming as magic.
And "libraries" as grimoires/tomes .

It's surprising how far you can go with the analogy.

Sure, go ahead and blame the tool.
Then blame the science.
Then blame the scientists who developed it.

Blame everything but the thief.

Then blame free will for all crime in the world and all wars waged.

Would it make sense to consider asking Tokodon to support connecting with Lemmy servers, or is there too big a difference between the APIs, requiring a separate application?
