  • On reddit and now lemmy, I can engage with other people in both appreciation and discussion on and about things I don’t really get to otherwise, at a depth I don’t really get to otherwise.

    Nicely worded. The microblog format never “clicked” for me the same way these threaded discussions do. Now I have a way to say why - thanks!

    I think if I was born in a different decade I would have enjoyed Usenet or mailing lists.






  • I think IRC is a bit healthier because it is a direct interaction and there is no upvotes or any fake internet points involved.

    Totally see what you mean. The points and “likes” can be tiring. In a Lemmy client I made, I don’t even bother rendering the votes. This helps. But I havent implemented threaded replies (yet?).

    If there was a way to interact with Lemmy more like a mailing list I’d be using that instead.


  • “Reproduction of the Disney logo is clear trademark infringement. I would imagine that is why the AI might be jumbling the logo,” Andrew White, partner at IP law firm Mathys & Squire, tells The Financial Times.

    Doesn’t seem clear to me.

    I’m allowed to sketch out the Disney logo by hand, right? But I’m not allowed to place their trademark on any of my own products or services.

    Microsoft’s tool reproduces the Disney logo. Searching “Disney logo” in Google Images also reproduces the Disney logo. I can print the logo from my shitty black and white printer to my heart’s content, right?
