And Invidious, FreeTube, and Grayjay, and potentially even Odysee, PeerTube, and Rumble.

Not to mention the ramifications it might have beyond video and potentially affect the very concept of fan works. Like, imagine if some innocent fanart you drew and posted to, say, Mastodon or Pixelfed, or even to Bsky for that matter, is now a DMCA violation if this ruling is extended to apply to that sorta thing too.

30sec IIRC.

What if you downloaded your own videos to post to Odysee or PeerTube now in an attempt to at least have them on a non-Google platform? Will that be a DMCA violation even if you’re the one who made those videos in the first place?

Similarly, could something like this also put the existence of alternative video platforms like the aforementioned Odysee and PeerTube at risk too?

Also, could this have implications for fan works now too?

Bazzite has newer drivers, ditto for CachyOS Handheld Edition for another SteamOS clone.

If possible, maybe get a separate machine to throw Windows on and then keep your personal rig on Linux?

Fuck that, we trying to bring back mining-era company towns that will inevitably fail now?

I hope people like having a ‘New Appalachia,’ because the situation in Appalachia is exactly what happens when company towns go under.

Never thought the EPA of all organizations would be pro-Right to Repair given their history of fining anyone who messes with emissions gear out of existence.

Don’t plan to, haven’t really cared about sports in general for ages now.

GIMP and Krita are aimed at Photoshop, while RawTherapee and Darktable are aimed at Lightroom, and Inkscape is aimed at Illustrator.

Good luck. Take away the main reason people move off Windows to begin with and see how well that goes, especially for alt-init distros.

Good luck.

Oh hell no, Netflix better not be trying to EEE Blender or be trying to buy them out.

I thought it was talking about streetcars at first, and AFAIK most people know the story behind that by now; but if they don’t, Big Autos, GM specifically, basically killed the streetcar by straight-up taking it over via buyout.

ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, is genuinely decentralized, and ActivityPub itself is ran by W3C, an international standards organization, while Mastodon is ran by a nonprofit, meanwhile both Bsky and ATproto are ran by a private corporation, ATproto is still semi-centralized, and since ATproto is ran by a private corporation, assuming the VC money runs out and Bsky corporate needs to start to profit somehow to stay afloat, there’s nothing stopping them from closed-sourcing ATproto (as rugpulling of this sort is legal in permissive licenses like what ATproto is licensed under) and starting to either push ads in it, paywall certain features of it, or both, for example.

Blacksky actually managed to completely split itself off from Bsky corporate infrastructure, but what if Bsky corporate gets hostile against that?

Or even PeerSuite for that matter, moreso if a PeerSuite session is additionally ran through an anonymous protocol like I2P, assuming that’s possible. I mean, PeerSuite doesn’t require an account, doesn’t use servers, talks through encrypted WebRTC channels, and doesn’t leave a paper trail by default, coordinating protests is a perfect use case for it because people could start up a session to plan said protest, and then close the session without a trace when they’re done.

One more reason for the rest of the Fediverse to block Threads itself then.

And Bezos even threatened to physically take your PC away from you.

Give up your PC and rent from our cloud.

Another device of the type that Thunderf00t used to ‘bust.’

Next step: YT starts phasing out human creators in favor of Google’s homegrown AI slop.

Here’s a link to the Kiwix library download for all of Wikipedia. It’s 111GB though, so you’ll need a lot of space and also a lot of time to wait for it to download.

Note, you’ll also need Kiwix in some manner to read the zim file once it’s downloaded.

But this’ll let you have a local copy you can reference should actual Wikipedia ever get ruined by GenAI, or worse, get taken down by hostile governments.
