@aardrian @odddev @thilo @aral I'll file a feature request with a more detailed explanation of my suggested approach once I've passed my NLP exam next week 😬

Cooooool, the #Bundestag, Germany's parliament, has joined the German state's #Mastodon server, hosted by the Federal data protection officer! Welcome to the #Fediverse, dear @bundestag! 😎 🥳

@aral @tripleo @ramsey @glitzersachen A law that doesn't apply to everyone equally wouldn't be constitutional ;)

@tripleo @ramsey @glitzersachen @aral When arguing that any possible interaction is (and should be) a copyright violation, you should consider:

Websites could force browsers not to allow ad blockers, because reading text and altering images would be a copyright violation. Scientists would need to pay publishers for citations. Criticising politicians' speeches would be illegal without explicit permission.

You probably don't want to hear it, but copyright law should be limited, not extended.

Can anyone explain the reasoning behind #F-Droid's classification of apps into “contains anti-features”?

PixelDroid, a FOSS client for Pixelfed (FOSS), has no anti-features. Several Mastodon clients, however, “promote closed-source cloud services”, although Mastodon is FOSS too.

FOSS clients for Tutanota and ProtonMail (closed-source servers) do have anti-features, but regular IMAP clients don't (although the typical mail server is not FOSS).

To me, the classification seems random at best. 🧐

@dansup @pixelfed Cool! What exactly do you need the tokenizing for, though?

@Zoll zur Herstellung von Lack in der Farbe der Imperialen Garde ohne Lizenz der Dunklen Seite, vermute ich stark

@forteller My presumption is that the vast majority of Reddit accounts are dead or unused, so that a few high-karma posts or comments could be enough to place anyone in the top x% of karma earners.

@humanetech @jande @gme @cope Yes, Gargron somewhere replied to me saying he's waiting for more servers to adopt the edit feature.

However, the latest Mastodon versions already support editing posts (not just displaying someone else's edits) – the feature just isn't included in the UI yet. https://fe.soapbox.pub is a front-end that does, in fact, already include an edit button.

@peertube @pixelfed @feditips Weird: The corresponding #GitHub issue was closed back in 2019: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/1720 ?

Is it possible to watch #PeerTube videos from #Pixelfed? I was able to follow a @peertube profile from my @pixelfed account, but I couldn't see any posts. ? #feditips @feditips

@humanetech Yeah, I mean you can call it non-free software, at least. ?

@humanetech Why would you call that “proprietary”?

Proprietary means the comprehensive reservation by the author of all or almost all intellectual property rights to which he is entitled; and that's not what Akka do.

While they don't unconditionally grant the four software freedoms to anyone, they also don't reserve all rights. Instead, they grant software freedoms under certain conditions – that's not “all rights reserved” or “proprietary”.

@newt @poopniga Exactly that! The paradox of tolerance is about intolerating intolerance.

@newt @poopniga So when I say that NS must not be tolerated then I'm the Nazi in the cartoon? Convincing logic.

@newt @poopniga Yes.

@newt @poopniga There is no “reasonable debate” with National Socialism.

@newt @poopniga Since the comic is about National Socialism and you argue that “anybody who posts it says it's okay to discriminate against opinions you don't like”, you seem to imply the National Socialist ideology is a legitimate “opinion”.

And that's exactly what differentiates, for example, the European understanding of free speech from that of you-can-say-whatever-you-want extremists.

@newt @poopniga There's little reason to assume that the paradox can't be applied to National Socialism. It's just an example.

I don't claim anyone to be a Nazi at all, but I do argue that talking about that particular comic and referring to “opinions you don't like” in the same breath implies that NS “is an opinion too”.

Otherwise, you would be assuming I had referred to anything else than NS – which I hadn't. I had only ever referred to NS itself, but not actual, legitimate opinions.

@downey “Others of us know that #FreeSoftware for fascists is the only proven guarantee #tech can be used to fight #fascism.”

What a nonsense.
