@01011@monero.town So if I've illegally downloaded every paper and book published by Matthew Sag, Zahr K. Said, Jessica Silbey and Rebecca Tushnet and used that content to create an app that would output legal briefs in their voice saying whatever someone was willing to pay me to make it say, that is now legal? Or would that not qualify as "transformative" as shilling for $$$ is what lawyers have been doing for centuries?

@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de will tbis be the week I finally find the time to write up the steps to install Mbin on DDEV?

While CO put Lauren Boebert on the world stage, we are generally down to ignore federal authority. Rember when marijuana was illegal? Unfortunately that would require getting Montana, Idaho and/or Nevada on board. Seems unlikely.

@MemmingenFan923@feddit.org can confirm. My son bought a set that was missing on of the bags. Filled out a form and uploaded a picture of the box + what he had built so far and the remaining bags. 48 hours later, we had the missing bag and he was back to building.

So many other brands wouldn't even respond to something like that. You'd have to take it back to where you bought it for a refund, buy another set and start the build again.

Lego customer service understands that their product is more than colored plastic.

@JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee isn't part of the point of ActivityPub to avoid vendor lockin/single point of billionaire enshittification? I read and interact with a fair amount of Lemmy content through an Mbin instance.

You can already limit Google using site:[DOMAIN].

If every ActivityPub driven service used a common TLD like .edus, you'd be able to limit results to that facet of Google's index, they don't. If they did, we'd be back to a single point of failure.

Google supports limiting searches to content using a Creative Commons license based on the licensing metadata in the URL. ActivityPub content already has the metadata, but it took a decade to generate enough content before Google offered the option to filter searches by CC-BY-SA... and Google was a VERY different company back then.

@SPRUNT@lemmy.world the recent college athlete image likeness settlement couldn't happen at a worse time for public schools who have to disclose these payments. Can you imagine having a PhD and teaching physics for 1/4 of what a school is paying a teenage who catches balls well?

@Confidant6198@lemmy.ml I thought we were finally making progress with Rank Choice Voting starting to gain traction, but agree... there may not be enough left to salvage after this unless the MAGA movement collapses before the midterms... assuming we still are have elections and people other than white land owners can vote. Still not entirely sure how far back Trump supporters need to go for the "again" point when America was great.

MAGA are NOT the majority of Americans, but sadly they only slightly exceed the Americans who don't vote at all. While not the government many Americans wanted, when "I'm not into politics" stopped resulting in an immediate response of "so you aren't American?", we ended up with the government we deserve.

@PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world https://feedsin.space/ is a free service that will post items from an RSS feed to Mastodon.

I looked for a solution to do this with #Mbin ~6 months ago, but couldn't find anything anyone else had shared. I did find solutions that claimed to work for Lemmy, but I did not try to configure those. I'm a PHP developer building a community site for other PHP developer so Mbin is a better fit for us.

Going to look at this again soon.

@Mee@reddthat.com Is the tradition the Animal House experience while in school and then graduating to multiple job offers that pay well enough that your income alone was enough to buy a house and raise a family. Because if that's the tradition they are looking to continue, I've got some bad news.

Online education should make education more affordable. Instead, most organizations charged only slightly less than in-person credits.

@AidsKitty@lemmy.world

@juergen@feddit.org Are you a Tesla owner who only charges at Telsa charging stations? Tesla doesn't even own the majority of charging stations in the US. They only recently started allowing non-Teslas to use their chargers. Where did you think all the other EVs were charging?

Tesla will be taken over by PE who will sell off the charging network. Once rebranded as ChargePoint or Electrify America, they will will no lobger be targeted by vandalism and arson. The cost of removing the toxic Tesla brand isn't trivial, but the locations and infrastructure have value. They won't just be turned off when there is profit to made.

@juergen@feddit.org "Fuck Elon" is becoming the punch buggy of this generation.

Combine a toxic brand with a level of ridiculously poor Quality Control we haven't seen from a US automaker since the Saturn brand, and you get a price point/distressd asset that PE will be looking at. They've already calculated the value of selling Tesla for parts and just waiting for the stock to hit a number to act. Elon is so over leveraged, there will be nothing he can do to stop it.

@Tea@programming.dev being threaten with jail time and fines won't be enough, but the potential punishment needs to be so severe and harasment so relentless they'd consider hanging themselves instead. Aaron Swartz will not be forgotten.
