Elmo’s, diegeticaly (as in “in universe”), canonically (as in officially) three and a half years old. So if he was mentioned, it would have been as a victim.


There are even solutions that automate a lot of the configuration for such a setup. I’m using Pangolin for example:https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin
But you could set up something like this manually if you want more flexibility (pangolin is based on traefic rather than Nginx)


It’s not really about fair use because European law doesn’t really have that as a concept. I’m talking about contract law, since licenses are contracts. Now, I’m not a lawyer and shit gets complicated real fast but basically EU law states that contracts need to be fair. Unfair clauses are invalid (again really simplifying here). SKG argues that this is the case for games.


And in doing so we are making the AI even better at pretending it’s human, necessitating even more hoops in the future


And this is how you handle realising that you just posted stupid shit. You keep the the stupid shit but you also acknowledge your mistake in an edit.
Good job accidentally modeling good behaviour


OK, I’ll bite.
Even Value has tried to argue that Steam is a subscription service and that you don’t own Steam games but rather licenses to games on Steam.
If you open a printed, physical book, you’ll likely see something like this printed on the first page: “copyright [author name], all rights reserved”. If the book was printed in the last year, it might also include language explicitly forbidding AI training and other forms of data mining.
If you look at the back of the packaging of physical movie releases (so for example a DVD or Bluray case) you’ll find find something like “this movie has only been licensed for personal used. Public exhibition is not permitted”
Because media has always been licenced. The question therefore is less about license vs ownership and instead about what makes a fair license. SKG argues, that the licensing as it currently exists is deeply unfair. Unfair enough that it possibly already violates EU law. That’s what the lawsuit in France is about.
A group could take SWTOR, add content, and have people donate/pay for it despite the IP holder not wanting their IP used that way.
Not really. The game has, as you yourself noted, been licensed to you. The granted rights don’t include commercial activity. Publishers could even put the videogame equivalent of the language from the movie cases into their licenses to spell that out.


*citizens, not users


As pointed out by Ross Scott himself in this videothis kind of answer was basically expected.
That’s why the current strategy is to get MEPs to amend the digital fairness act, which doesn’t require the Commissions approval.


That’s what it means. Deadline confirms that both RTD and Bad Wolf are out: https://deadline.com/2026/06/doctor-who-christmas-canceled-russell-t-davies-bbc-bad-wolf-1236952398/


Here is a second (better) source:
A lot of European countries have their own debit card networks. Germany has GiroCard, Italy has PagoBancomat and so on. The problem is that those are national systems that stop working once you cross a border. Most cards are therefore cobadged with Visa or MC as a fallback system.
What’s needed to get rid of the cobadging (at least within the EU) is some kind of translation layer to bring the existing European systems together.


Scroll to the bottom of the page. There you’ll see who is responsible for this manifesto.
The group of organisations or people who have signed includes Mastodon and Felix Ableitner, representing Lemmy.
(Unfortunately?) no. Even putting aside that the term is a lot more broad than a lot of (well intentioned) critics of Israel think, its been long used as a dog whistle by anti-semites. The novel “The Turner Diaries” for example, which is sometimes referred to as the bible of American neo Nazism, uses the term “Zionist occupied government” (ZOG).
The word Zionist in “Zionist Occupation Government” is used to equate being Jewish with the ideology of Zionism, depicting Zionists as conspiring on behalf of Jews and Israel.

And when Hamas leaders use the term Zionist, then they mean Jews more often then not either.


Probably because of personalisation. I assume the idea is to eventually present you a hyper targeted advertismebt of a poster (if they aren’t already).


Where do you get the government controlled from? It’s developed by European companies, not governments and you can selfhost.


As we say in Germany:
Sackdoof, feige und verklemmt
ist Erdoğan, der Präsident.
(...)
Ja, Erdoğan ist voll und ganz
ein Präsident mit kleinem Schwanz.
