The more important thing: anyone can see their posts now. This is rather crucial for a government institution's feed and not true on Twitter anymore.

Zoom, the videoconferencing platform that profited substantially from remote work during the pandemic, is now asking employees to return to the office. Its CEO, Eric Yuan, claims Zoom meetings don't let people build trust or be innovative.

[...]

Yuan explained that trust is essential "for everything," and he finds it hard to build not only that but also innovation and debates over Zoom.

"Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it's really hard," Yuan said, according to Insider. "We cannot have a great conversation. We cannot debate each other well because everyone tends to be very friendly when you join a Zoom call."

People in a genetic database have segments of DNA in common unexpectedly often.

Doesn't every game engine... well... package a game engine in its games? Isn't that the whole damn point

RE: Copyleft

The idea of copyleft is that you give anyone the freedom to do anything with your work, with one essential restriction: they do the same for their changes, derivative works etc. Technically attribution doesn't have to be part of a copyleft licence, but all copyleft licences I know have a requirement to preserve copyright info.

And yes, it is popular in software (GPL, MPL, EPL), but for other types of works there is CC BY-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike). If you want to copyleft books, images, videos, other forms of text... this is the way to go, IMO.

Some additional remarks, just to clarify:

  • Copyleft is not "giving up all copyright" - copyleft essentially "plays" the copyright system in a way that makes sure nobody is restricting access to or usage of one's work. Using the rules of copyright against copyright, if you will.
  • In some jurisdictions, there is no such thing as "giving up all copyright" or "dedicating something to the public domain". Best you can do, generally, is giving users all the same/relevant rights.
  • Most Creative Commons licences are not copyleft, only the ones with a ShareAlike (SA) clause. Some CC licences are also nonfree, meaning they don't give you all the freedoms to do what you want with the work. The 2 possible nonfree clauses in CC licences are ND (no derivative works) and NC (no commercial use). NC can also be used together with a SA clause, making CC BY-SA (free) and CC BY-NC-SA (nonfree) the two CC copyleft licences.

Diese ganzen Hirnverbrannten in den golem-Kommentaren immer, zu geil. "Also wie in Deutschland" ja Heinz-Dieter, exakt wie in Deutschland. golem.de hat zum Beispiel auch beim Staat nachgefragt, ob du dich registrieren darfst...

I want to get a thread of contemporary punk bands going! There is so much good stuff out there today that perhaps not everybody has heard of.

As long as you don't change host platforms....

There are lots of things that can break in Docker between Windows and Linux. Not to mention ARM and x86

At the time Facebook fueled a genocide in Myanmar they had practically no moderation for Burmese content, if I recall correctly.

Pricing is still relevant, at least in Europe (from my experience). I've done a lot of low-budget traveling with small groups of students in France this year, and AirBnB was (unfortunately) consistently and significantly less expensive than hotels.

Also, many hotels don't give you access to a kitchen, which really sucks if you don't want to spend money eating out every day.

The woman behind it has become a kind of conservative celebrity. She doxxes random people, especially teachers who talk about their sexuality on TikTok and sends her minions to harass them. In the past, she has caused bomb threats to children's hospitals for providing gender affirming care. She is about as despicable as a person can be.

I've been on the Fediverse for a little while now, but I'm only getting into Lemmy now. I've noticed that it is very cumbersome to follow communities from other instances. You have to click on search, select "Communities", enter the name (but without the instance), find the correct one in the list if there's multiple and then subscribe.

Why can't I just... enter the fully qualified name somewhere and it sends me to the community directly? Why is there no search that works for unique IDs (like in Mastodon, where you can search for any global object ID (URL) to navigate there directly)? Or does that exist and I haven't found it yet?

Another thing, is there an existing effort for browser extensions that allow interactions when viewing foreign communities through their own interface instead of your home instances? This exists for Mastodon for example and is really convenient (I can like, boost, follow on other instances as long as I'm logged in on my home instance).

Edit: The regular search seems to be working with fully qualified names/IDs for me now. Dunno if it was just a fluke before or a problem with the instance I was looking up.

Edit 2: Searching IDs (such as https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse) work (although it takes a while to load), whereas searching "names" like !fediverse@lemmy.world doesn't. I don't know if it's because of my instance or not.
