They’re both free software licences (i.e. you can get the source code for for BSD licenced software and GPL licenced software that you’re using at no extra charge and modify it as you please). The GPL licence has an additional restriction for developers that says if you use any GPL code in your codebase, your entire codebase must also be GPL or some other compatible open source licence.
This means that if I made some code parses a file format and another developer includes that code in their program to support that file format, they’re now forced to licence their whole codebase with a similar licence to the GPL. If it was BSD then they would only have to mention that they used my BSD licenced code and include a copy of that licence. A user would then be able to go and see my original code that was used, but not the rest of that application’s code or any modifications that the application author made to my code. Because the GPL is too restrictive for most developers here, there’s a version of the GPL called the LGPL which is often used for code meant to be used by other programs which is closer to the BSD licence but additionally requires that if they modify your code, they must also share that modified code.
I usually use a licence in the middle called the MPL (Mozilla Public Licence), which is similar to the LGPL but has a few things I prefer and has the advantage for me of not being connected to the FSF and GNU project.
I couldn’t imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it’s an easy buy.
After owning an Apple ARM laptop I’d never go back to anything else.
I remember listening to Foo Fighters(Everlong, Learn to Fly,…) and enjoying some music and having a laught at the video. Recently i discovered this:...
The downside is all these greedy landlords make the prices outrageous so nobody can get a deposit on a house. It’s easy when you already own one house because you can use it as collateral and also your tenants will pay off your mortgage.
Gotta be honest, as a dev I tried to make a Flatpack of my app and gave up. Making a snap was much easier. Of course, I also offer it as a .deb, .rpm, Pacman package, etc. too
Cross posting is built into Lemmy intentionally to allow for post and community discovery. It’s a client issue that there’s no good grouping or deduplication.
The BDB and the Micra are pretty quick machines to heat up. It’s mostly E61 machines and the like that take a good while to get to temp (like 20 minutes+)
Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
I don’t think ActivityPub supports that. There’s just the “sensitive” flag (which Mastodon shows as a content warning and lemmy shows as NSFW). I think you’d have to do something outside of the specification.
eh I use Linux on my desktop but macOS is a nicely polished UNIX operating system. It’s only locked down for average users, you can usually get away with a quick sudo or worst-case going into single user mode and disabling some system protections.
I definitely prefer using *nix operating systems, and macOS gives me that for portable computing. I’m still more productive on Linux, but it’s not too far apart.
The situation in Niger is directly contrary to US interests given that there are moves towards asking the US to leave alongside the French + the coup government contacted Wagner/is already aligned with Wagner-backed regimes. The US does a lot of fucked up stuff in the world but it would make no sense for them to be involved here.
Hi all. Due to the news of the illegal images being hosted on lemmy, I shut down my instance. I read some comments from people stating that they were able to selfhost lemmy without pictrs, they just can’t upload or cache photos. I think this is what I am interested in doing at this time....
I noticed a bit of panic around here lately and as I have had to continuously fight against pedos for the past year, I have developed tools to help me detect and prevent this content....
I think deleting images from the pictrs storage can corrupt the pictrs sled db so I would not advise it, you should go via the purge endpoint on the pictrs API.
Interesting, when I tried a while back it broke all images (not visible on the website due to service worker caching but visible if you put any pictrs url into postman or something)
I don’t know about lemmy.world but I assume they “purged” the user instead of banning them (or at least that’s what I did for my instance). Purging wipes all of their data from your instance and exists as a feature basically for this reason. That means that the user wouldn’t have a visible account to ban anymore because it literally removes them from the database.
Only way to be sure that your server doesn’t have any of their content on it.

There is a subreddit for elder scrolls lore called /r/teslore, but for more shit posting lore content there was /r/shittyteslore, but that subreddit went weird so people made true shitty tes lore (/r/truestl).

Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts?
