Okay thanks for the info

Haha okay. Thanks for the info!

Good to know thank you! Piefed seems to be doing a lot to help the fediverse grow, so thank you for your service 🫡

Now that the issue is fixed I need to make a new account or will it work with the old account too? Also I noticed that my profile photo from my old account isn’t federating haha, but that’s a very minor issue so I’m not too concerned about it haha

If I had posted this on Miskey would that have allowed Lemmy users and Mastodon users to interact?

I tested this. It works perfectly fine. We can implement this today and remove it when Mastodon supports threadiverse conversations better (I’ll try to make that happen.)

Wow that’s a really proactive response, thank you! Please keep me posted on how it goes

I see it

Here a community for you to do more test : [email protected]

This is a useful too, thank you

I always an avid user of piefed.ca but I had to quit because most of my comments weren’t federating anymore due to some corrupted data issue

Edit: misread your comment. You jut mean posting to the community. Gotchu

i believe there is a one-way mechanism for twitterverse posts to be used an inbound content stream for lemmy (like rss ) but thats it… one direction.

The Lemmy posts were showing up as replies to my Mastodon post. And some of the Mastodon replies were showing up in Lemmy. So it does seem to go both ways, its just inconsistent

If I had made this post on kbin would the lemmy and mastodon users have been able to interact with one another?

Really makes you think

I never thought about it until I clicked on this link, but repositories are actually a really good format for investigative journalism. Allows you to organize all the supporting documents alongside the article in an organized way.

In essence, where – if anywhere – do people interact with people online?

This is it mate. We’re interacting right now

Case study: almost every other wealthy democracy in the world besides the US and how they deal with insulin. Living in a wealthy democracy and not being able to afford insulin is a uniquely American problem.

To your point, in the UK and Australia you can now literally get jail time for saying some pro-Palestinian slogans. So certainly there has a cultural and sometimes legal shift towards not tolerating opposing viewpoints and it is not healthy. That said this behaviour is not limited the right. The left is not very tolerant of opposing viewpoints either

Yes, actually, I think this law is what is responsible for recent rulings in the US, where it was found that AI generated art is not copyrightable.

Maybe we have this monkey to thank for setting that precedent. Forget Harambe this monkey is our true saviour.

Which birds see large enough for a person to fly on?

Yeah I’ve heard of similar systems in Europe. It’s similar to two factor authentication. Hopefully something like this could also screen out bots, making influence campaigns more difficult. But regardless, however its implemented I hope it will be easy for not-for-profit operating systems (such as linux distros) to operate

Including an age flag field in user data on Linux is fairly trivial, and I’ve seen several proposals for it

What would these systems look like? Im curious.

My concern is that, even if these systems are technically possible, the law will settle on using lucky inefficient methods of age verification such as using AI to scan someone’s face.

OS age verification would effectively make some, if not most, linux distributions (or other less-popular operating systems) illegal. Because many linux distributions are made by small team of volunteers. In some cases a linux distribution might be maintained by literally one person. So these people likely do not have the time or money to include something like age verification into the operating system.

That said, there are some technically possible ways where this could be done to reduce the load on developers (perhaps with access codes, and a government maintained database) but the way age verification had is being done right now (face scanning, etc) would be a real headache to implement and quite possibly cost or time prohibitive.

It would be a shame if age verification laws effectively made open source operating systems illegal. It would suck if these laws inadvertently made it legally required that we need to support big tech companies like Apple or Microsoft in order to use a computer.
