Do you have a list of communities by topic or do you have an encyclopedic brain? Or just know what to search? I’m always impressed seeing you post in such a variety of places

Regardless, thank you!

Yeah it looks empty to me cuz i have all .ml blocked lol

Not that I’ve heard of. But look into webrings

Eh. They can try selling at whatever price they want. As long as they disclose its AI art then people should be able to make the evaluation for themselves. I’m not convinced selling at lower prices makes things any better. If anything that might backfire and people expect real artists to compete with the ai low prices.

Somewhere between .txt and .doc

I feel like there’s a missing third panel: the scene pans to the right so “gender affirming care” is on the left. Then you have a person labelled “cisgender person” going towards it in a hugging embrace. Behind them is a line of people with the next person in line holding a baby. There are then blue and red people standing by and clapping.

(I hate this double standard)

I love that ive never seen this picture before but i just knew the artist was Wayne Reynolds.

I’m going to guess not everyone who runs a lemmy server agrees with the maintainer’s politics

There’s a progression for me where i start with trash, upgrade for better stats/fashion, and then strip naked except a funny hat and start throwing down my summon sign.

I never said his claim was a fact. I just want accurate reporting which would mean clearly defining what the kids were doing that led to this reaction

No, i actually have read 4 different reports on this and i referred to this article as him saying that. But in other articles there were inconsistencies in how they described ding dong ditch that made it curious to me. So i didn’t just take his word for it.

I don’t condone shooting children, least of all the the back. All i want is accurate reporting

You misunderstand. I’m not saying this is just a change of name. I’m saying that this could be a different thing altogether. When i was doing this in the 80s no one was throwing their whole ass body against the door repeatedly, or trying to kick the door in. We don’t know what was happening here. Maybe it was the same old prank. Maybe it was something stupider. No one deserved to die but i do think reporting on the facts is important and calling it ding dong ditch underplays it if something else was going on

That certainly would be a more accurate description of the known facts

It’s a common mistake. Many people don’t understand the difference between open source software and source available. I didn’t until i joined lemmy. But the open source software is defined by giving certain rights to the developers and/or end-users. When someone publishes the code but doesn’t fulfill the open source criteria then it is just more generically called “source available”. Many companies are interested in open-washing their license as being open source since it takes advantage of people not knowing the difference but having heard good things about open source software.

Consider a case where you have an actual open source project and there is some controversy like making the code closed source and selling off to some startup. You could then take that code and make your own fork of the project. Some open source licenses might restrict you to using the same license the project initially used but you’ll still be able to salvage the product from being monetized to hell or whatever shit they were trying to do. If the code was source available then there would’ve been extra restrictions in place and those might have prevented you from using the code at all.

Or even worse - i release code that detects with 100% accuracy the exact time of death someone will have, but when i release the code i don’t attach any license to it. This means I’m actually reserving all rights for myself even if i did put the code out there for people to see. This is actually even worse than “source available” because people can’t legally do anything with it except look at it.

All the news reports call this ding dong ditch but the man said the kids were trying to knock in his door so i don’t think calling this a “ding ding ditch” prank is accurate

Edit: since some of you believe everything you read- We don’t know if they were doing classic ding dong ditch or this “repeated attempt of trying to kick in a door challenge” https://youtu.be/upfsoPT8yjE or https://youtu.be/v9y3xQeeRrU . Would you call that “ding dong ditch” if that is what happened here? I wouldn’t.

Thank you for the context because it was strange for them to say “ding dong” had been popularized by tiktok.
