My mind goes to this video.

Current IP law may be too over reaching but I do like the idea that if an artist writes a song, or paints a picture others can't just make copies and sell it. Similarly, if someone makes some invention its nice that there is an incentive to publish the technology openly for everyone to understand how it works, and in return they get to profit from their discovery for a set number of years.

Some design patents and patent tolls are obviously bad, but I think for the most part its a decent system. What compromise would you propose?

This is the obvious right answer. If computers shipped with Linux mint most consumers wouldn't notice the difference.

In all seriousness, can you elaborate? I'm genuinely curious.

From what I gather yes and no.

The fediverse is decentralized as it uses a protocol activity pub to allow lemmy, mastodon, pixelfed, etc to all talk. Moreover, most of the servers (to my knowledge) are community run. For example lemmy.world.

Bluesky made a new protocol similar to activity pub that could be used in a similar way, but its only used by Bluesky. They have allowed other users to host their own servers, but Bluesky still hosts the main servers (from what information I could find).

It seems bluesky wants to be similar to Fediverse applications, but I would have almost preferred how Threads did it; they actually use activity pub, so from mastodon you could follow threads users and vice versa. The Fediverse community wasn't fond of Threads so most servers defederated (or blocked) the Threads servers.

I feel Bluesky is doing something similar to threads. Its a corporation first that wants you to think its like the community first decentralized social networks. My take is, better than Meta/X, but I stick to Fediverse applications.

Have you used loops? I tried to sign up and its been ~6 hours without a verification email. Its great they have a testflight app on iOS but I've been looking for an android apk with no luck. I really want a federated tik tok to blow up but I'm finding it hard to even get set up.

He literally tried to do this. He tried to push an executive order to go "over the head of different branch(es) of government".

"What's stopping him in this specific case?" The Supreme Court stopped him. You know, the judicial branch. It is one of those different branches of government. How did you miss this? It was all over the news.

Second to last paragraph in the first image - "don't forget to tell me your cats' age along with the recording(s)"

Dude speaks for the trees

If you can afford it, get it.

Greatly reduces smell and there's no more arguing on whose turn it is to clean the litter box. Not to mention scooping poop is just gross. You just put a bag in the bottom, and replace it when it says it's full. To clean the litter box the sphere comes off the base and has no electronics in it so you can clean it with a hose outside. At this point I couldn't go back to a normal litter box, they sell parts to fix it should you ever need to (got mine ~3 years ago and no issues) but even if I couldn't fix it with replacement parts I'd be getting a new one.

Only disadvantages in my mind are, it's a bit bigger than a normal litterbox, it needs to be near into an outlet, and my cat took a bit of time before he liked it.

Overall, this is something that I tell everyone they need if they tell me they have cats.

"Awards"?

Is infinity for lemmy ready for install? I don't see it in the playstore or any apk for the tagged versions.
