Why publishers are preparing to federate their sites - Digiday (digiday.com)

The Verge and 404 Media are building out new functions that would allow them to distribute posts on their sites and on federated platforms – like Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky – at the same time. Replies to those posts on those platforms become comments on their sites.

mulcahey,

I didn’t read Solrize’s comment as saying “There shouldn’t be paywalls,” just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I’m not sure)

“We’re gonna get all the poors off the road so it’s only nice cars”

Are housecats aware of how much bigger people are? (feddit.de)

I’m wondering if cats think of us kind of like how a person thinks of a friendly bull: aware that they could easily kill us, but not necessarily afraid of them; or more like a large Dalmatian: they could fuck us up, but most of us don’t really think about that unless they’re being aggressive....

mulcahey,

There’s a push to get OpenReads to work with BookWyrm

github.com/mateusz-bak/openreads/issues/96

mulcahey,

Wow, that was it. Thank you!

mulcahey,

Fair question! But yeah, I’m seeing this issue with my lemm.ee and not my lemmy.world

Video DownloadHelper Firefox extension puts a giant QR-code on converted videos and charges $30 to remove it. (www.downloadhelper.net)

I’ve been using this extension for a while now and it works great, but since recently a QR-code is put onto the video when downloaded (if it’s a HSL one that needs to be converted). I understand that this converting process can be expensive and I’m willing to donate, but $30 seems like a lot no? The QR-code is not small...

mulcahey,

I’m confused. I’ve been using this extension for years on desktop without this issue. I think it has an option where you can install a companion conversion app on your machine and bypass the QR code. Am I mistaken?

mulcahey,

My Asus Zenfone 8 is still going strong after 2+ years. Case and screen protector help, of course

mulcahey,

It’s not real but I don’t understand who benefits from faking this

mulcahey,

Boots with the fur

mulcahey,

Sorry but you have clearly never imported and raised giant kangaroos for mass transit. $80 billion is nothing to them. Nothing.

Scene Edit: The Doctor is a Person

My wife and I just watched Season 5, Episode 11: “Latent Image” in which the Doctor discovers that he performed an operation on Ensign Kim, but the memory has been erased. The episode ultimately revolves around whether Captain Janeway considers the Doctor to be a person who can consent to be edited. The Doctor’s main...

mulcahey,

This is a good scene

mulcahey,

No 😔

mulcahey,

I’m sorry, I’m having difficulty following your point.

That’s a really, really crap argument that is permissive of all kinds of cultural genocide.

Isn’t it the opposite? He’s arguing that work of cultural importance should NOT be in private hands. You might say, “Who gets to determine what’s culturally significant? And why do we trust governments to do a better job than private collectors?” Those are fair questions, I think, but then I get lost again:

A LOT of artwork is in private collections that by no right should be.

Right, that’s what he’s arguing too.

I live in country that used to “legally” buy and sell people.

Ok, so… You acknowledge that just because it’s legal to trade in something, doesn’t mean that it’s moral or ethical. So is that also true of culturally-significant artwork?

See why I’m confused as to your argument?

mulcahey,

Eh, “Good thing we had dangling pianos to drop on the guy who’s been cutting all the cords on our dangling pianos” isn’t quite a strong argument for the pro-dangling pianos side
