@ernest, please. All they need is commits, PRs and comments that add something. True, dev work is full of cool updates and reporting, but it crosses roads with other mundane activities. Devlog is probably going to drain you more than it's worth, so I hope you'll build your priorities straight.

Let's be open: I'm only making a press-kit for Mbin recently (and nothing much) just after being introduced to the fork as a result of @melroy migrating. It's a crazy amount of reviewed and merged pull requests, which I couldn't dream of committing nor reviewing in detail. There is simply a lot that can be done with community harnessing the project. No way this fork would be considered serious if it were to feed everyone with blog updates. At this point, your words set up a head start. It's a matter of whether it will start: will these old habits offer something that was not served already? (Big downtimes happen to be one of those things...)

No idea if any competition will take place - again, introduction to a fork was ever so sudden, making me wonder if it didn't have to come to this. In any case, whatever we continue doing I hope remains healthy for the wider community of contributors and users. Thank you for returning! 🤝

What about "We Fedicast"?

Isn't this like stealing, guys? No, not from Reddit - from authors. Ask for a consent before mirroring anything, for the love of Fediverse. Cheers!

TINLA: factors for fair use don't seem to align, though.

• Such use does not characterize commentary, parody, etc. and is not transformative.
• Post may prove to be substantial on its own, especially if it's an art piece.
• Most of the work (individual post) or crucial parts being used.
• Since there is most likely no thorough link to the author's website or profile, they lose the audience - nobody will go to look up the same post twice, not through Google and Google Images, especially.

About that last point: solvable by manually gathering authors' links or making a hyperlink to respective Reddit profiles.

No way I'm switching to scatterbrained Lemmy just because of people depending on kbin.social instance and hailing centralization. But it's certainly concerning that even close contributors cannot contact each other regarding such emergencies.

I think, if we're going forward with Kbin, there needs to be some agreement on the urgency types for maintainers. Imagine making a tier list of all things that Kbin lacks: what few things would be in an S-tier - well, NEVERMIND, because this big library of images won't show the signs of life, let alone an unplanned downtime of Big Daddy(TM) server.

As expected, this post has triggered few drama queens in the comments. Anyway, glad to hear from you, even though this particular issue couldn't affect me by a long shot, haha.

It does not merit a verification of the author, when you hold their content encaged somewhere they did not approve yet. You say it's to increase registrations on Fediverse and for the brighter future, but please remember to deal with this ethically. Creator deserves to know first that your mirror (or whatever ends up being) intends to seek engagement with their piece.

Linking to original, as we both proposed, is an aftermath. Top three factors also need to be addressed if you claim fair use.

As an alternative, asking for consent and delaying repost is not a rocket science.

@melroy Yes, of course. My reply is 2 weeks old - it's when Mbin wasn't a thing.

@drbboard

@SidTheITGuy Welcome: happy viewers and good time for you! 😉

The important takeaway for me was that, like @AustinPowers1935 dealing with malefactor's remnants, we need to come up with the better solution, not simply quarantine "modules" (in this case, entire translation).

Yes, disabling locale for the installer looks like a correct thing to do by Canonical's protocol and it's safe - but it is also malleable to the whims of outside contributors going unchecked. That "Danilo" troll is probably laughing in their cage of a room about how their mischief has caused an alleged drop in Ukrainian userbase of Ubuntu, even if the effects of hate speech AND the lack of installer (on top) were there just for a short while.

This all has birthed in the team a late realization about how resilient Canonical's review process should be.

I didn't mean to include you in the drama queens club. So far, many points you've given did not conflict with me.

But I suggest not to assume my knowledge of the matter based on two words (again, not meant to you) I dropped here. I've seen the issue miles away from FediDB: one instance that gathers too much attention to itself, when simple fact check reveals unsustainability. What we get here is some late fuss and unnecessary drama. I'm not particularly fond of Melroy's wording, but I get the sentiment: readily communication between core devs is left as an afterthought, which isn't exactly a surprise for projects done in free time.

Oh, I almost mistook this with my own post :) Anyway, that's a good coinkydink, because I extensively use Kdenlive for anything between long videos and short memes, and I happened to come across the Creative Freedom Summit this year. Good talks.

@melroy This is stupid YouTube... Anyway, if you're on the legs, try Grayjay for Android. 😉👍

I would love to see this as well, seeing as how Microblogs prosper! Please, add your ticket to https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues - it's a recent fork of Kbin that's governed by a community.

Also, account for possible scope creep and try finding a solution in what Mbin already has to provide with extra steps. For example, test whether the video you post on PeerTube with one of the tags featured on a magazine does actually appear on Mbin. It most likely does not... unless you try following the PT account from Mbin? Do media previews work on these posts? We could really use some help understanding this model and possibly make a fun multimedia experience that would outgrow plain text.

Haha, well... It's a Samsung Galaxy from Android 10 era and, apparently, it has terrible Settings. Whenever I try to say "Don't optimize" on any app, it changes the label, but only for a brief moment, which effectively does not turn off any optimization.

@joewilliams007 Internet is a disaster for our OCD already xDD

You only need to recall where it took the Internet Archive, no matter the intent it has. But let's presume for a minute that a lot of it is educational: does unsolicited art reposting constitute an educational purpose, commentary, criticism, news, or a parody? If all that fails to meet, at least work with the portions that you're taking.

You know when some people are just inferior: despite many communities going on a protest and being marked as private, each of members suspecting nothing or drowning others remains a priority...

What you guys call "swipe typing" is actually a glide typing, right?
