It’s interesting to have a middle name?

That last part sounds like grand idea, and likely not too hard to do on the client side. Perhaps just a way to sort things by tagging a comm with some flag and all the ones with a specific flag show up in a custom feed. That way even if the names are not quite the same you could create these merged comms to read from.

The hard part there would be posting, you would want some kind of easy way to send a new post to a specific one, but I can’t say having a ‘post to all’ would be a good idea, that sounds like a spam poster’s best friend.

In the simplest sense, a separation of duties. If the judge was to be the sole decider of what is worth consideration then you have this individual functioning as an unquestioned king.

No single person is going to know every case, consider every angle, and have an inclination to pursue all points of view. Even the supreme court receives amicus briefs to guide a case.

An attorney has a duty to get the best possible outcome for their client, even if they disagree with what the client may have done. A single person judiciary could never have that position because they are effectively advocating both sides to themselves.

I was actually hoping to see that as a defense. The principal thing that copy enforcement corps always cite is ‘we downloaded a copy from their IP, thus they made a copy and distributed the work’.

If this works as a defense here then in effect they make direct download portals legal for the users at least.

Somehow advanced quantum computing ends up with a steampunk aesthetic.

Tooke a bit to explain to my kid why I was giggling when I realized the spirit of B&B was alive in a show he was watching.

You wouldn’t have happened to grow up watching a lot of Beavis and Butthead did you?

This user particularly has been a lot of them that I’ve seen.

Should clarify that you mean the Trump admin, otherwise people might get the wrong idea.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone defend the system in play, just recognizing that it exists and until it’s changed in whatever means possible that playing the protest/spoiler is likely to make things worse.

Separate cancer phone that you only use on WiFi would be my guess, short of the oft cited switching banks. Alternate could be to put payments all on a card and only use the card issuer’s site to make payments to them so you don’t have to directly interact with the bank.

Internet culture is a leaky thing. A major chunk of meme and comic formats where born in 4chan and they’ve been adopted virtually everywhere on the web despite coming from a place that takes a certain level of self hate to stomach for any length of time. Lemmy is functionally a clone of reddit right down to the logo similarity. Trying to claim that somehow it’s a different unique corner of the web and exercise in futility.

This needs a theydidthemath comm to post to. 🙂

Nice try haxor…

Jammie Rasset got tagged for $1.9M for sharing 24 songs, so if we extend the per instance to this case I’m pretty sure Meta owes more money than has existed in human history…

Just need to be sure to buy all the flairs and special options and it’ll surely work this year…

I think I get what you mean, but validating the origin of a particular piece wouldn’t do much for verifying the content. So such of the misinfo that’s put out is taking some small snip of a broader story and reframing it in a way that makes the situation out differently.

You’re comparing oranges and peaches here.

Where’s the food crimes comm when you need it?

Don’t pee on the scissors you use to cut your eggs, didn’t mama tell you that?
