ml might be a hard one to sell for people, if servers would defederate from ml that would be good but I think many servers right now are afraid of it backfiring like how Beehaw defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works and killed 90% of their interaction and 100% of their network effect overnight.

Of course I do think things are different now and if big servers defederated ML, ML would be the one to lose out, not the bigger servers. Only reason people still use the Bigger ML communities is because they continue to federate, if they weren't people would use the other ones on places like lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, lemm.ee, and programming.dev.

Maybe, I guess it all depends on whether they agree on how transferable said license is, and whether courts or even just DMCA enforcers at a host or registar will agree with that (DMCA safe-harbor provisions encourage providers to act preemptively rather than duke it out in court else they risk losing protection against liability).

Obviously one's own server's TOS guarantees they have the license to host their users' content, but it might not be as clear for other federated servers, since they have their own TOS that protects them in that event, but if the user didn't sign up there, they aren't agreeing to them, and they could even reject it and still have their content federated there whether they like it or not. Seems like it could potentially be a dicey grey area if they chose to pursue federation as copyright infringement. Especially if they copyrighted their comments and posts officially.

This is partly why I said that if @[email protected] signs up to dbzer0 and starts a vote he should include a lot of evidence of Hexhear's wrongdoings because a lot of people are unaware of the majority of them, they just "have some personal issues with them, but nothing defederation-worthy". Which is probably the same for a lot of people, it's the fact that these add up that makes them problematic.

They don't just have "personal problems with a few people", they have widespread problematic behaviors and patterns.

The admins literally are "idiots like that", one of their admins @[email protected] decided to harass me because during a spam wave I decided to alert some of the Lemmy instance admins of instances I'm on of the trolls who were spamming Nazi shit and they decided to yell at me because I didn't include hexbear and lemmy.ml admins in my list of pings, and putting words in my mouth trying to claim I'm an evil person.

They're not just encouraging that shitty behavior, they're actively participating in it.

Do it. I know I'd certainly vote to defederate Hexbear. If you do and decide to make a vote to defederate hexbear include lots of evidence so no one votes against it out of ignorance, only vocal people or those freeze peach types (I don't think there's many of those but I've seen them here on Lemmy).

It's an Anarchist instance, they try to be as democratic and community driven as possible. Actually this one here is very similar to that, we have [email protected] where people can have discussions about things like that and mods may post a vote as well.

You might be able to force them to if you threaten to DMCA them for hosting your own copyrighted content. Posts and comments on Lemmy are technically literature which is copyright protected, and while you give your own instance license to host them via their Terms of service, you don't necessarily give the same permission to remote instances like Hexbear.

That fun little loophole with how federation works, you can explicitly request instances exclude you or it can really suck for them. Lemmy should probably have a built-in option for this to exclude yourself in this manner but don't count on the devs to add it unless people start DMCAing Hexbear and ML to "opt-out" of federation with those servers.

A large majority of Physical games have secretly been made as one-time activation keys, and aren't really a physical game in any meaningful sense since most of the game isn't on the disc. Physical games at this point are more of a semantic argument to distract people from the real question, when will online DRM and activation completely take over?

Hopefully it does, it would be nice to have a privacy community that isn't stationed on ml or world. The other runner being the one on Lemmy.world.

That's awersome, now we just need to get people to move on from the linux community on lemmy.ml, there are some good ones like [email protected], [email protected], and even [email protected] but these still have less users than the linux community on lemmy.ml unfortunately.

Pretty much every CPU these days has a dedicated GPU, integrated GPUs and APUs just have them on the Same die. So it's technically correct to say they don't have a "dedicated graphics chip" but it's also a bit misleading to say that, implying that they don't have or need a GPU at all.

Agreed, I really hated this description of PCs with only iGPUs or APUs since they are not "without a graphics card" almost all CPUs nowadays have some kind of integrated graphics solution, some better than others. It's just that in the past iGPUs have been laughably bad, which is why many people have needed an external one.
