Do you have a source on that?

It’s the heavy machinery required to do it that’s the problem. This is also not Elon Musk’s building, but a building Twitter rents. The building management company were the ones who called the police.

Or an AI that’s pulling over cheap and old cars because the owners are more likely to get ticketed due to living in over-policed neighbourhoods.

How long before we find out it always flags certain makes and models as criminals?

Rename Twitter Blue to X Pass

Rename the Post Tweet textbox to the X Box

Let me know when you know.

It’s legal to end a license at your own arbitrary discretion if that’s under the license terms (it is)

Ya I wasn’t really making an argument.

It’s entirely legal, yes. As people have been saying for years, you don’t own the games, you own a license to them.

They’re gonna be NFTs come next week

a lot of hate for capitalism here

The fediverse is largely populated by 2SLGBTQIA+ people and people of colour who are oppressed by capitalist regimes. The other big contingent is marxists and people who like FOSS. FOSS, at its core, is anti-capitalist.

You’re in a place founded by anti-capitalism, that exists in spite of capitalism, asking “why is there so much anti-capitalism here?”

When did Xbox last make a game Xbox exclusive?

And nearly all PS5 games have to run on PS4. I fail to see your point.

only wanted to make sure it was extinguished on other systems?

I hope you’re similarly malicious about Sony’s exclusives too.

The only time Sony’s ever had stronger hardware was PS3, which was a dumpsterfire that never even ended in a profit. PS1 < NS4. PS2 < GCN. PS4 < Xbox One (by a small margin). PS5 < Xbox Series X.

The only thing they have to their name is a bit of code made for their platform and not others, and the opportunity to buy a $700 headset that’s outclassed by a standalone $400 headset.

The best thing that ever happened to Sony was a) Nintendo using cartridges to solidify FF as a PS franchise, and b) Sega marketing Nintendo as “for kids” back in the 90s, a stereotype they’ve never been able to get away from.

MS isn’t even top 2 in a hardware market of 3. They’re not even top 4 in publishers either. Hardly a monopoly.

US Courts have already ruled in the past that human authorship is required for copyright. It’d be a logical conclusion as such that human authorship would also be required to justify a fair use defence. You providing a summary without any quotations would likely justify fair use - which is still copyright infringement, but a mere defence of said infringement. A machine or algorithm that cannot perform the act of creative authorship would thus not be exempted by the fair use defence.

Because the redneck themed one wants to call queer people groomers and have them sentenced to death by firing squad.

There’s also many small-to-medium sized instances that just haven’t bothered signing that will be defederating. Mastodon.social’s gonna be one of the few who do, and I already think it’s fine to defederate from them too tbh.

I think this is going outside the realm of self-hosting and moreso into actually creating a server architecture. All servers would need to use the same database, so you’d want likely as its own server a database server, caches on the front-end servers so popular things aren’t queried for the same info again and again.

I’ve never set up anything like this, so this is just me trying to think of how I’d throw it together, I’m sure there’s a bunch of async problems I’ve not even considered how to tackle, and even having the DB be offsite from either of the front-end servers would be less than ideal.

I suppose you could have the DB in one of the servers, but then that one now has the same frontend-load as the other while it also is the only one doing DB queries, so the load’s not really being distributed properly. 🫠
