busting hundreds for the odd file you can prove they downloaded is expensive and takes forever.

And might well not be legally possible if all you have is an IP address, because lest we forget:

An IP is not an ID

No :P

For what?

I think selling such skulls would be highly unethical.

Would you? Why? FWIW I agree that as long as there’s a living person who cares about the fate of the bones then selling them would be unethical, I’m just curious as to your specific reasons - like, what is the hypothetical you’re imagining, behind this statement? Are you contending it would be unethical even if nobody living cares, just due to the provenance? I can see why you would object if the former user of the anatomy believed in the sanctity of remains, for example.

I’m not sure I’d agree, but I’m not sure I’d disagree either. I’d need to think on it more. Right now, I’m leaning towards respecting the wishes of the dead as far as their remains go, because the universe is big and cruel and the only kindnesses are those we make for each other, so why shouldn’t that extend as far as we do?

I think you don’t understand the difference between fundamental rights and regular old rights. A right does not have to be fundamental to be a right.

And, if copyright law were about encouraging creation, it would not restrict the use of other peoples’ work.

Would you do me a favour? Read back over this thread until you realise you just argued creation is “encouraged” by a category of law which only restricts the use of other peoples’ work, including modifying it to create derivative works, and has been used as a club against creation to boot. Consider, how does Nintendo kill Smash tourneys? How many YouTube videos have been wrongly DMCA’d?

No, it is not. Copyright law ensures the original creator gets paid for their work and nobody can imitate it (quite literally “the right to copy”) without permission. Copyright law is about making money.

Heritage law is about preserving history.

Ehh, I halfway agree, but there is value in keeping historical stuff around. Heritage laws exist in a good number of countries so that all the cultural architecture doesn’t get erased by developers looking to turn a quick buck or rich people who think that 500 year old castle could really use an infinity pool hot tub; there are strict requirements for a building to be heritage-listed but once they are, the owner is required by law to maintain it to historical standards.

I only halfway disagree because you’re right, forcing people to pay for something has never sat right with me generally. As long as the laws don’t bite people like you and me, e.g. there are relatively high requirements for something to be considered “culturally relevant” enough to preserve, I’d be okay with some kind of heritage system for preserving the internet.

From the extract alone I can tell this is either AI slop or so badly written as to be no better.

Pick any of them, and repeat it over and over again. It’ll quickly become the weirdest word in the language, at least for a while.

I’m out of the loop, what movie or show is Elon in where he’s playing an African?

It’s a brute force search on an ordered list!

Oh boy. If you think this is bad, you should try waiting a few weeks or months after you’re signed up this time, then sign up for a new account using your current details, just with a different email. Spoiler: if you can answer the security questions, you’re home free.

And remember that between the Equifax leak and more recent hacks, at this point, every sensitive detail for every member of the economy is now in the hands of bad actors. If they want your shit, or into it, they’ll social engineer it.

Should passwords have maximum character counts? Sure, to prevent overflow attacks (or whatever) by pasting five different analyses of the movie Primer as your password. It should be longer than 20 in any case. But are there other, way worse security issues? Yes.

Golden Orb Weavers are common in Australia. I took this pic back in 2016 to send to some of my friends back in the US who find a kind of intense fascination in spiders (and also in avoiding them). Note the banding on the legs, same as yours:

Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn’t even want it to…

Hallo! Zis is ze German Coast Guard. Vot are you syncing about?

1password offers complete import from LastPass and both looks and works similarly. Same price, I think; better software, fewer and lower-severity CVEs, better handling of breaches when they do happen. It seems to offer everything you’re looking for.

Edit: well bugger, critical flaw for 1password Mac app: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/08/07/critical-1password-security-flaw-could-let-hackers-steal-unlock-key/

It’s been patched, but not a good look when I just said they don’t have super bad CVEs 😑 Still true, this is rare, but important to update and address it I think.

• Mods are typically the people running - and paying for - the instance in most cases on Lemmy, and they tend to be active on the instances they run, so if you report a post it may well be to the person that made it.
• Expect less active moderation and less content.
• You’ll probably see a lot of reposts and batches of posts from the same communities if you sort by “New”.
• Make liberal use of the “block” functions, for both users and communities.
• Trolls, spam, DDOS attacks, etc etc, can be pretty common. Bugs seem to have smoothed out and are rarer than in the early days.
• The Voyager client (on Android 14 at least) will reload if you switch away for more than a few seconds at a time. It’ll save your text if you have a comment in progress, but make sure you have a way to get back to what you were reading (save, upvote, etc) if you switch away to find a GIF or link or something so you can pick up where you left off.

When giving feedback, it helps to avoid derogatory phrasing and instead specify what you don’t like and why. The key word there being “specify”. Otherwise, you don’t have a point, and you’ll come across like a dick.

Edit: okay, suffer an eternity of complaining about things that never get fixed; no skin off my nose.
