Except that this change doesn’t lock us into age verification at all. On its own it’s harmless. There are still steps ahead before it’s actually difficult to evade. And sure, we are heading that way and it only makes sense to be prepared for the steps towards the next steps of age verification laws. It really isn’t magic to comply with these small steps, as long as they themselves don’t present a treat, be aware of the bigger picture and still do the work to prevent the actual OS-level age verification.
I don’t have any cloud backup. If I had to, I’d probably use a self-hosted solution.

Kudos for the Fight Chat Control initiative! But I wonder, if providing a template ready to be sent to MEPs isn’t counterproductive?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some federated platforms and their "big-tech" equivalent?
71·2 days agoThis joinfediverse wiki page lists some fediverse replacements. Here is a bigger overview and the descriptions are usually enough to understand what kind of “traditional” social media it’s based on.

DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz@feddit.org•Wer verdient am Musikstreaming?
8·11 days agoWenn die enshittification kommt, ist man entsprechend ausgeliefert.
Nein. Dann beendet man einfach das Abo und sucht einen anderen Weg.
Ein digitales Album kriegt man üblicherweise auch für weniger als eine monatlich Spotify Rate.
Ja, wenn man ausschließlich die Musik hören will, die man kaufen würde, und neue Musik entweder gar nicht oder über einen anderen Weg z.B. Radio oder Live-Musik findet, dann ist Musik-Streaming überflüssig. Wenn man rechtlich immer im Besitz der Musik sein möchte, dann ist Musik-Streaming nicht ausreichend. Wenn man hingegen darauf Wert legt, dass man an einem Ort über die Lieblingslieber hinaus eine breite Musik-Auswahl für den Zeitraum hat, dann macht Musik-Streaming Sinn. Genau so ist das mit Abos generell.
Musik-Streaming muss nicht für jeden etwas sein. Es gab aber auch nie einen Zwang. Ihr könnt einfach Musik so konsumieren wie es für euch am besten passt. Dass man aufgrund ungerechter Vergütung, Menschen auf Alternativen aufmerksam machen will, checke ich. Aber Streaming vs Kauf ist einfach eine Präferenz.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•(Roughly) how old are you and how did you come to be on Lemmy?
21·12 days agoAge: 9.6 - 10
I created an account at lemmy.ml, because I was interested in seeing real-world examples of Rust in production. Shortly after that, due to the death of Reddit 3rd party API, I began to spend more time in Lemmy.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The bear on the Bern (Switzerland) coat of arms will keep its penis despite pressure to remove it.
01·13 days agoThe cantonal government was responding to a written question from Liberal Green parliamentarian Thomas Brönnimann, who wondered whether it would not be more appropriate to depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented.
I wish progress was instead defined by people speaking up for themselves and privileged people only supporting them to raise their voice…
I experience Lemmy as a reflection of many of the problems in the world
You’ve said it yourself. It’s not unique to Lemmy. This is just a smaller platform with therefore more biases. You could keep trying and show new visitors with your viewpoints that they have a space here. E.g. Lemmy is slowly becoming less try-hard anarchistic. But honestly with your viewpoints, whether it’s about AI or strict immigration, I consider it too difficult and unrealistic currently.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an animal that would be cool if we could domesticate to the level of companion animal, like dogs.
0·13 days agoEven better, if after their domestication they were still smart and resistant enough to not fall into the hands of owners that treat them like toys.
Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they’ve already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn’t that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?
What is considered film expertise today is a joke. This applies to all mediums, but especially in cinema you see it all the time that a person who has watched popular, top-rated Hollywood movies is considered very knowledgeable. Yeah, it doesn’t matter, especially in a private group, but it’s a cringing pain in the ass to listen to these people talk about movies.

Games@lemmy.world•Dungeons & Diagnoses — a fantasy therapy sim where your patients are cursed heroes, dark lords, and burned-out adventurersEnglish
1·14 days agoBy the way, if your game descriptions, dev-logs and especially the game itself uses AI text generation, I’d also add that information.
Personally I don’t mind it for these conversations, if the reason is a language barrier. But if you are capable of basic English, I’d recommend to try writing everything by yourself and only use AI or simply a dictionary for specific words/expressions. Not only do you learn more this way, but you are also more in control of expressing yourself.

1·14 days agoThanks for adding that note to the description! Just for clarity: If somewhere in the future you are able to work with an artist, would you re-work the art for this game? And can we expect a Linux release?
Other than that, I had the wish for this kind of game for some time and I’m glad something like that exists now. Given the circumstances, I still don’t see myself in the target audience, but good luck on your journey!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy?
8·15 days agoOne of the most interesting aspects about the Fediverse is also the most confusing one in practice: the communication across different platforms. E.g. the ability to communicate from Lemmy to Mastadon is incredible. However whenever that happens, it’s difficult to even realize that it’s happening. It could an extremely useful feature, but currently, at least on Lemmy, it’s just confusing.
In Lemmy itself I’m annoyed by (too) many things, but mostly they are related to our behavior and stubbornness. Nonetheless, with all its faults overall Lemmy is still my “favorite” social media.
