Just to add to this, the term "loose" was referring to morals, not, you know, lady bits. Because those bits don't work like that.

Here's my tip - subscribe to a bunch of things of interest, and set your subscribed feed to top for the day. You'll likely see a bunch of interesting posts.

Then browse all, top for 6 hours, and you'll see some wide variety (except for days following a debate like today, that'd going to skew political heavily for obvious reasons).

You'll find new and interesting communities to subscribe to, and make your subscribed feed all the better.

Personally I have different accounts for different interests, and for a few of them I rarely leave the subscribed/top for the day. They are more focused, and without a good multi-community feature that's universal, its the next best thing.

Hope you enjoy it here!

I am a different person, and its completely made up because I know nothing about YouTube "creators".

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

Yup.

I've got two kids, the amount of time they get consuming content is limited, the content they have access to is only from my media server (so very curated), and occasional extras like crafting/drawing/etc when we are sitting next to them. And even that I'm moving to the media server due to the ads, which are impossible to really curate and can be very, very odd...

The physical presence of a screen being on is not an issue. Using it as a replacement for parenting is an issue. Especially under 2.

I just wish it wasn't so much effort to manage content that other parents could do it more easily.

Who also made massive profits.

Depends on the zombie type - if it's raw instinct only, there is no higher level of consciousness required, right?

So your generic shambling, biting, non-speaking but still groaning zombie would work in this scenario I'd think.

There is only one by me that I see somewhat regularly, and oh what a trash bin it really is in person....

But yeah, don't see a lot here. I do live in a progressive area, but we are surrounded by farmland and maga outside the the townships into the more rural parts of the county. The cyber truck isn't something a farmer is going to ever touch since it's garbage for actual truck tasks, it's a very specific pavement princess vehicle. Around here they actually use their trucks.

It's not exactly news, his invitation to a conference was pulled because every other speaker refused to share a stage with him over his behavior / the politics he spews on Twitter.

No, but the appeal is.

The comments criticizing the instance for ‘folding’ against legal request better have ready 100k USD for retainer of a top copyright legal firm, with even more ready for a lengthy and expensive legal battle.

I hope you're not going to take this the wrong way, but I want to be clear - this is not at all what is involved in legal services or remotely the costs involved. Generally speaking, the review of a claim like this is an hour or two at most. You can also preemptively review these concepts with a lawyer, and get a handy-dandy letter or two to be used as a common first tier response (which also handily dismisses the majority of claims, which tend to be bunk). Several hours at least.

Costs for lawyers are typically in the $100-$600/hour range, with very few (top partners at large firms) getting into the $2k-$3k/hour territory. A lawyer with a specialty in intellectual property is going to land smack in the middle of average these days, around $250-$350/hr.

A $100k retainer, or any retainer really, is unnecessary. The actual costs for some basic legal support are about the low range in costs for a month of operation of their servers ($900-$2200/mo per their own public costing statements through opencollective).

Forget anything else in terms of piracy communities or anything else. Speaking with a lawyer to cover the bases is a smart decision - remember that there have already been issues like CSAM that have cropped up. A bit of up-front smarts and a couple of hours with a lawyer pays dividends. The reality is, them making guesses - and immediately backing down to any request - is a problem for anyone using their servers. Its a real concern, don't be dismissive.

Actually questioning the validity of a claim before proceeding to give in, for starters. Maybe seeking legal help from one of the many advocates out there.

If the response is an immediate white flag being raised, then anyone who posts on lemmy.world who has any semblance of risk now or in the future is fully at risk with lemmy.world. How is that assertion wrong?

Does 'not immediately folding under even the slightest request' require tor?

Does communication publicly before a decision with large implications like this require tor or hiding your identity?

if being gay became illegal in NL for example, and there would be laws to prevent talking about gay people, then we'd have to either no longer tolerate such content on our platform

Yes, you are repeating exactly why this is concerning to users, and why I'm personally no longer on lemmy.world. It can't be trusted.
