Giorgia Meloni is trying to position herself as a mediator between America and Europe, which honestly I think is a fool's errand, but it is in line with her Atlanticist foreign policy.
I would have personally preferred a real, firm, statement towards Ukraine's support but until we'll have people like Salvini - a Putin's lover - and his 'Lega Nord' party in the government it is infeasible to expect it.

At the same time FdI (Meloni's party) has historically been pretty pro-ukraine, so I will be very surprised if something is not going to happen in the next few days.

Remember that this quote is from Crosetto, the current Minister of Defence, just a few days ago: "Peace, however, must not mean humiliating a free people who have done nothing but die and sacrifice to defend themselves."

I'm not in line with their national policies - by a wide margin - but currently Meloni's party and the Partito Democratico are the only pro-ukraine voices in Italian politics with some weight

It's depressing.

Honestly? Love it.

This is getting weird.

If I would generate an image with an AI and then take a photo of it, I could copyright the photo, even if the underlying art is not copyrightable, just like the leaves?

So, in an hypothetical way, I could hold a copyright on the photo of the image, but not on the image itself.

So if someone would find the model, seed, inference engine and prompt they could theoretically redo the image and use it, but until then they would be unable to use my photo for it?

So I would have a copyright to it through obscurity, trying to make it unfeasible to replicate?

This does sound bananas, which - to be fair - is pretty in line with my general impression of copyright laws.

Probably, but I want to point out that the - arguably - most important, intelligent and charismatic character in all of Star Trek lore is an Irish too.

Spoiler

O'Brien is the only major Star Trek character described as both ethnically Irish and born in Ireland; Colm Meaney, the actor who portrays him, is Irish.

Because, as pointed in the page, Servo is being developed as a(n embeddable) Rendering Engine, not as a full blown end user Browser.
Its alternatives are not Chrome, Safari or Firefox, but Webkit, Blink and Gecko

There's an example GUI called Servoshell, but it is more of a testing ground and example on how to embed the engine in an app than a serious alternative to anything currently in the market.

Already this kind of work is difficult and daunting. Adding to it a full GUI would make it completely impossible for the current size and financial backing Servo has.

Big words aside it just means that Servo wants to be only one of the parts that compose a real browser: the one that takes HTML, Javascript, WASM and translates them into the things you see on your monitor. All the user facing functionality are left to the devs of the app that embed it.

As a small addendum this - honestly amazing - post was the spark for the whole couple thing: Happy Thanksgiving! 23 Nov 2017

And to be precise, it was because of this image:

I hate that I’m linking to Reddit, but I’m just reminded of this.

OT, but remember you can always use an archived link instead of a live one.

Click on modlog at the bottom of the page, or just add "modlog" at the instance link.

For example for beehaw it would be https://beehaw.org/modlog

Are you talking about this: https://lemmyverse.net/communities ?

There's this one too: https://browse.feddit.de/ but it is not as nice.

Thank you for pointing this out. I was too flabbergasted by the sheer insanity of the messages to even consider checking the date.

Probably a repost of some kind. Still. I hope the target of this meltdown could go through this whole thing without problems and be safe.

Probably they are getting ready for some vote manipulation and astroturfing for the long run.
You know, in case Lemmy and the Fediverse really get mainstream enough to move the public opinion in some way.

Having a thousand accounts that can upvote a seemingly innocent post made by an active and "real" account is always useful.
