You know things are getting bad when two governments are on your case about your patent trolling, Nintendo.

Welp, it was fun while it lasted for Arduino.

So, why are there so many posts asking 'Can I do this with AI, can I do that with AI' popping up on here recently? I thought most of the Fediverse would've been anti-AI based on its general demographics.

I don't know about the OP, but Google admitted recently to breaking the open web. By their own admission, and their own words, Google is against an open web. https://lemmy.org/post/1689081

So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.

This reeks of DRM.

UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.

UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.

Yes, Codeberg/Forgejo or even self-hosting a git server. Git itself is decentralized and self-hostable.

Yeah it is, and it's their fault that it is.

Google has no right to say the open web is in decline, when they're the main cause of it, this is basically them saying, 'Yeah, we won this stupid war that we started, screw you, peons,' this comes off like if MS broke WINE and then admitted no one uses desktop Linux anymore, it will have been their faults that hypothetical scenario happened, this is what Google saying the open web is in decline when it's largely their fault that it is comes off as to me.

Time for them to at minimum mirror their channel to Odysee and/or PeerTube so that they'll still have a platform just in case their channel gets nuked.

Even if you don't plan on ditching YT outright, it's still a good idea to mirror to Odysee, PeerTube, or both, as a backup because of shit like this.

Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform. YT is probably going to be the next platform I ditch as they're going full Reddit now.

It's a matter of time before third-party YT front-ends start getting throttled or outright blocked like third-party Reddit front-ends.

Anyone who has projects on Github they care about, you might wanna move it to self-hosting or another git host while you still can, because once MS gets tired of killing e-mails, Github repos are probably going to start getting sniped next.

If it's upheld, that's the precursor to full-blown info blackouts, just cut off internet to anyone 'accused' of wrongspeak against the powers that be, which is basically everyone.

This also sounds like SOPA reborn.

Pikachu and Buneary are going on an art date at a splatter painting place. They splattered each other a little bit in addition to the giant canvas hanging on the wall.

The bunnies started showing up during the day again, and I snapped a random pic of one.

'So I've had this idea for a while, but I wanted to depict Togekiss extending one of her wings out for other Pokemon, in this case, Pichu, Togepi, and Igglybuff, to climb onto her so she could take them on a little trip to a park.'

Good thing LibreWolf and other forks exist.

No it's not, it's based on BSD, or more specifically Darwin, which is derived from BSD, so Unix-like, but not Linux.

Although, oddly, macOS is a certified UNIX OS so it can rightfully sit at the table with the SysV distros such as AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris, but it's nothing like those OSes in its nature.
