Since any reductions to copyright, if they occur at all, will take a while to happen, I hope someone comes up with an opt-in limited term copyright. At max, I'd be satisfied with a 45-50 year limited copyright on everything I make, and could see going shorter under plenty of circumstances.

I wish I could get through to people who fear AI copyright infringement on this point.

There are circumstances where the precautionary principle is good to apply. But overuse of it has really bad cumulative consequences.

You could even do an image with a QR code to the kbin or lemmy address.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Discovery is difficult right now, advertising in places that are genuinely relevant is a real service.

That's a pretty good summary.

It's just one method to make tea. Some teas taste quite different from cup to cup (wuyi oolongs, for example), some are more consistent, in my experience. What I like is that it's easy to adjust depending on the outcome - one infusion is too weak or too strong? Brew the next one more or less.

I enjoy brewing loose leaf tea gongfu style (in a small vessel with many infusions): it gives me just enough to do, and a pleasant stimulus to focus on, that it's very grounding.

I’ve seen the fedi search link before, it’s a great idea. That said, it’s currently no good for finding things on kbin - for example, try searching AskKbin, which has been quite active - you get almost nothing back. Hopefully it will be better in a few days.

 

Like most who’ve joined kbin or lemmy, I’m actively looking for more communities to subscribe to. We don’t have a way to do a centralized search for these across instances yet, so I’m sure there’s some I’ve overlooked. What smaller technology related groups have you discovered that could use more publicity?

So far, I like the spirit of Actually Useful AI - auai@programming.dev: “Not allowed - anything else the mods consider “crypto bro”/“AI bro” success porn sigma grindset blogspam” 😆.
Aside from AI, I’d be interested in finding active communities that focus on web development.

 

Right now, the search capabilities we have for findings magazines aren’t great, and aren’t usually going to show communities on similar topics across instances. If people make lists of related communities and posted them here, I think it would help people find communities they are searching for.

I like the idea of this community, and subscribed, but fyi that link doesn't work for me on kbin. This is the right link on here, I believe: https://kbin.social/m/auai@programming.dev - m rather than c.

That would be a pity -personally I think downvotes, for all they can be abused, are a necessary counterpart to upvotes if you’re going to have a voting system at all. “All attention is good attention” doesn’t work well in real life or online.

Now if a change was made to allow individual magazines to choose upvotes+downvotes, only upvotes or none at all, I think there’s a better case for that - let people try different systems for different circumstances,

Short sighted behavior is hardly limited to capitalist enterprises, though.
