Well that’s the problem. They segment more than they compete. They sure have to convince users to use their platform by having shows that people find interesting, but they don’t really share the shows. So each has their own little corner and they try to leverage FOMO.

chris@l.roofo.ccto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linus Torvalds Begins Expressing Regrets Merging Bcachefs4·10 months agoI’d consider btrfs if they finally make their raid5/6 implementation stable. I want to work with multiple disks without sacrificing half of my storage.

chris@l.roofo.ccto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintextEnglish4·1 year agoIf I’m not mistaken you can save keys in these chips so that they can not be extracted. You can only use the key to encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify by asking the chip to do these operations with your key.
Me. I don’t have an hdr screen.
chris@l.roofo.ccto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Funkwhale - A platform for all your audioEnglish3·1 year agoDepending on your jurisdiction it is probably your responsibility to enforce your copyright. I can always just record your music off a streaming platform. You can attach a license to your song in funkwhale (see this). If you want DRM for your music then funkwhale is probably also not for your. You still have to enforce your self that nobody monetizes your works if you don’t allow it. You can delete things from the fediverse if you know the source but I don’t think funkwhale allows DRM protected music.
If you attach a license to your works that doesn’t allow monetization and they monetize the app you can sue them. I doubt they will though. And they probably wouldn’t be very successful because the app and the server are open source. You could just build the app without monetization. And someone probably would.
The upload and sharing copyrighted music probably falls into the hands of the instance admin. As with PeerTube it is probably not a good idea to have open signups. But everyone has to make sure that doesn’t happen.
The fediverse is an open and very liberal space. If you want full control over your works it is probably not for you. No software with federation probably is. If you want and need to control over your works (which is legitimate) you need something with a tighter grip, maybe host the things yourself on your server with DRM. That doesn’t mean it is bad for everyone.
chris@l.roofo.ccto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Funkwhale - A platform for all your audioEnglish82·1 year agoI am unsure if I understand you correctly. Funkwhale is for you to publish music or other audio you make yourself. Not for your commercial music library. And the software itself is under the GNU AGPLv3. You can host the software yourself on your own server or you join an instance of someone else. Just like lemmy, mastodon or all the other fediverse projects.
chris@l.roofo.ccto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Funkwhale - A platform for all your audioEnglish71·1 year agoWhat are you saying? This is an open source project that is connected to the fediverse. It aims to be something comparable to soundcloud where people can share their music. What about this is says monetization?
The instance is down. Every instance copies the posts from the other instances when at least one person subscribes to it. So what you see is just the remnants of the instance on your instance.
It’s a fork of kbin. I don’t see any moral and ethical difference between the software lemmy or the software mbin. Both seem to offer an unfiltered access to the fediverse.

chris@l.roofo.ccto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do the ToS of lemmy instances contain any indication of monetising user data?3·1 year agoWith FEP-c118 there is currently an extension to the activitypub protocol in the works to allow setting a license on posts. If you don’t add a license info in your posts the licensing is unclear. I think that some jurisdictions give a default copyright and some protections to the author but I don’t know how that works.
With the fediverse you you have as much or as little rights as when you put it on your private blog without explicit licensing. If someone uses your works without your consent you still have to find out and you have to protected your rights yourself.
There are currently no lemmy or kbin instances that have monetization options. The only ActivityPub software I know that can show ads is misskey.
In the end you have to be aware that any kind of open social network is like screaming your thoughts towards a big crowd. You lose most of your control over it the second it’s out. It is nearly impossible to track who has the information and who shares it with others.
There are legal protections in some parts of the world but even then you first have to find out that something bad happened. If an instance were to start monetizing data it would probably cut off pretty fast and all the communities would probably move.
Still if there is stuff you don’t want everyone to know don’t post it publicly.
It’s just a meme. I actually use vim regularly. But this is funnier.
I host my own Lemmy and Mastodon instances. It’s hard to say what I actually pay because I use the server for a lot of things but I guess the monthly price per user is about 1$ or less. The bigger instances are of course more expensive. That is why it is important to spread out communities across instances.
That is already an EU law if I remember correctly.
