They already have it set up so that libraries have to pay them a subscription for their digital lending.
What IA were doing was scanning in physical books and then lending one digital copy per physical book scanned.
At least, that's what they did until the covid lockdowns. Then they temporarily removed the download restriction, and the lawsuit was in response to that.
Yep, lemm.ee doesn't defederate so aggressively. This isn't in support of tankie groups though, if anything it's in spite of feelings towards hexbear.
Strange, I had to re-login but the app works fine. It was a little clunky though, I had to login twice.
Oh weird! I got a strange error message when I did this and it didn't go through. I even refreshed and didn't see any new comment to delete.
It wasn't a PR campaign, they literally just posted an explanation in a single blog post.
They don't log IP addresses in normal operation. However, when they're issued with a lawful court order they have to comply. Swiss law states that they can be compelled to start logging IP addresses with such a court order. Their terms stated the first 2 sentences, but didn't explicitly clarify the 3rd.
This means any user based in a country that has roughly friendly relations with the Swiss gov is at risk.
It absolutely doesn't. France and Switzerland have a special agreement between law enforcement that only covers laws they both have - eg, if you commit a crime in one country that is also a crime in the other, the other country's law enforcement will help. They committed a "crime" (not getting into the merits of the crime and whether it should be one) in France and then went to Switzerland, what they did is also a crime in Switzerland, so Swiss law enforcement got involved.
In any other country Swiss law enforcement would not have been involved in the investigation. Maybe there could be an extradition claim, but that would require significant evidence in advance. In this special circumstance, which is unique to these two countries, Switzerland took part in the investigation to collect the evidence.
Any service provider has to follow the law. Your issue isn't with the service provider, it's with the laws they have to operate under.
I feel like they were in their crosshairs regardless.
I think maybe not all apps show the automated cross-post link - I'm not seeing it right now on Jerboa. But yeah I think basically your instance checks the link against all other links it has (both local communities and federated) then it just adds cross-post links for each one, as well as a link to the new post in the old posts.
A big part of trading stocks is assessing value independent of the stock price. You want to buy stock when it is undervalued and sell it when it is overvalued. Tesla seems to be in the latter position, IMO.
Yeah I was a bit surprised. Seems quite clearly over-valued.
Bit annoying that they're more specific about latency than bandwidth. The laser had lower latency than broadband, but I want to know if the laser had enough bandwidth to stream the video.
