Thank God I don’t live in England!

Consider a Brazilian Lemmy instance. They will have to remove everything anyone complains about.
There’s no way to tell legitimate requests from illegitimate and as soon as volunteer admins are overwhelmed with requests, they will have to automatically delete any post that they are notified about.
All the power is on the side of the complainant. Nonprofit Lemmy hosts would go bankrupt in minutes trying to fight it.

I want to see a super serious trailer with Dark Helmet a la Darth Vader… with an optional comedic break near the end.

100 year copyright is fucking ridiculous, but I still think copyright has its place. The enemy of my enemy is a useful ally?

- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 2 months ago:
Why not just go back to 14 years with another optional 14 year renewal period if you are still alive.
And of course corporations should not be able to hold copyright, only license it.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 2 months ago:
Yes, now that rich people want to break the law to create AI we should just make it legal for them.

I was thinking the same thing, but I’m way too white to suggest it.
Yellow, in the other hand…

- Comment on Power isn't energy. The difference matters more than you may know. | Technology Connections 2 months ago:
The concept of Watt-hours was messing me up. I think I get it now.
- Energy is the potential to do some work, measured in Joules.
- Power is the rate at which work is done and is measured in Joules per seconds, i.e., Watts.
- If you want to know how much energy something “uses”, multiply it’s power by how long it has been running.
- e.g., something with a power of 100 J/s (i.e., 100 Watts) running for 10 s will use 1,000 Joules of energy.
- For household use, Joules is not a very convenient unit, so we use Watt-hours (W•h) or kW•h, which is the number of Watts an appliance uses times the number of hours it runs. Watt-hours and Joules are both units of energy.
- Watt-hours is not Watts-per-hour, i.e., it is not a rate. It means Watts-times-hours. If we break it down, we can convert back to Joules:
W•h = (3600s•J) / s = 3600J.
- Watt-hours is not Watts-per-hour, i.e., it is not a rate. It means Watts-times-hours. If we break it down, we can convert back to Joules:
I hope I summarized it properly and didn’t make any math mistakes!

So I don’t need to lose weight, I just need to live somewhere with 1,470 psi of pressure.

- Comment on tig ol bitties 3 months ago:
Ackshully, “galaxy” (or rather, “galaxias”) means “Milky Way” already, it’s just a translation. It was less ambiguous when the only galaxy we could see was the Milky lights that covered a lot of our sky.
Of course, we realize there’s more than one galaxy now, so the meanings have diverged.

- Comment on Chat, is this true? 3 months ago:
Best I can do is this: chal-chew-KLEE-kway
With some help from Forvo. The [t͡ɬ] sounds like KL to my Canadian ears and not TL (which doesn’t happen at the start of syllable in English anyway).
- Comment on are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same. 3 months ago:
R and L are what are known as liquid consonants.
They can be difficult to distinguish to the untrained ear (i.e., non-native speakers).
