  It breaks readability of your site without JS. That’s particularly bad for the “old” (mlmym) UI which would otherwise be usable for basic interaction without JS entirely, but I find it annoying every time I end up loading a page from lemmy.world directly – e.g. to check federation.

  That’s one of the reasons why I’m on reddthat instead of lemmy.world: old.reddthat.com works without JS.

  Hmm… I don’t know what would be causing this particular issue on the Cloudflare side, but the fact that lemmy.world shows @[email protected] instead of usernames when viewed with JS disabled suggests that you should review your Cloudflare configuration… At a minimum you have their email filter enabled when it shouldn’t be; there could be other issues too.

  ABOUT THIS REPORT

  This Report by the U.S. Copyright Office addresses the legal and policy issues related to artificial intelligence (“AI”) and copyright, as outlined in the Office’s August 2023 Notice of Inquiry (“NOI”).

  The Report will be published in several Parts, each one addressing a different topic. This Part addresses the copyrightability of works created using generative AI. The first Part, published in 2024, addresses the topic of digital replicas—the use of digital technology to realistically replicate an individual’s voice or appearance. A subsequent part will turn to the training of AI models on copyrighted works, licensing considerations, and allocation of any liability. To learn more, visit www.copyright.gov/ai.

  Emphasis mine. So, probably have to wait for Part 3 or 4 or whatever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Copyright and Artificial Intelligence Part 2: Copyrightability⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the bullet point summary of findings from page iii for anyone who doesn’t want to go digging through the PDF:

  Based on an analysis of copyright law and policy, informed by the many thoughtful comments in response to our NOI, the Office makes the following conclusions and recommendations:

  • Questions of copyrightability and AI can be resolved pursuant to existing law, without the need for legislative change.
  • The use of AI tools to assist rather than stand in for human creativity does not affect the availability of copyright protection for the output.
  • Copyright protects the original expression in a work created by a human author, even if the work also includes AI-generated material.
  • Copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material, or material where there is insufficient human control over the expressive elements.
  • Whether human contributions to AI-generated outputs are sufficient to constitute authorship must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
  • Based on the functioning of current generally available technology, prompts do not alone provide sufficient control.
  • Human authors are entitled to copyright in their works of authorship that are perceptible in AI-generated outputs, as well as the creative selection, coordination, or arrangement of material in the outputs, or creative modifications of the outputs.
  • The case has not been made for additional copyright or sui generis protection for AI- generated content.

  The Office will continue to monitor technological and legal developments to determine whether any of these conclusions should be revisited. It will also provide ongoing assistance to the public, including through additional registration guidance and an update to the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Visual novels, and interactive fiction come to mind as things that are video game adjacent but aren’t necessarily games. Most of the first category I’ve encountered are either porn, horror, or… both – though they can be about anything the author wants to write about, of course, and the relative accessibility of the medium means people have pushed it in a lot of directions even though it’s kind of niche.

  Interactive fiction includes things like text adventures and choose-your-own-adventure books. Most of the computer-based ones I’ve encountered involve traversing a node-graph of locations, manipulating items, and solving puzzles – though the gaminess varies a lot depending on the specific title. They’re even more niche nowadays, but people still make and play/read them.

  There is also !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had similar symptoms and in my case, I had a sleep disorder, an anxiety disorder, depression, vitamin D deficiency, and other problems.

  Go call your doctor and explain your symptoms to them in detail. Your problem is the type that should be medically evaluated by a professional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Visual Novels⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Best way to fix that is to join in and post something!

  Otome isn’t my personal interest (my sexuality goes the other way), so I don’t have much to say myself, but I’ve seen Elevator7009 trying to build a community first on kbin.social (before that site died) and then on kbin.run (before it died) and now there and I’d like to see her efforts succeed.

  If you’re not interested, feel free to ignore it, but if you’d like a place on Lemmy for discussion, there are at least a few people there who’ve been trying their damnedest to get something going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Visual Novels⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a huge fan of otome visual novels, but I don’t think it’s something that many here would appreciate lol

  FYI: !otomegames@ani.social

  Aww, I’m not trying to stomp anyone. :(

  I was just curious if it was actually the full list and before I knew it I’d spent 45 minutes checking Pokemon names to figure out what was missing, so I figured I’d share the corrections.

  If Kolanaki got that close just from memory, that’s pretty impressive! I had to look it up!

  That’s pretty good! But… that’s only 147. :-)

  Nidoran♀, and Nidoran♂ are separate and you’re missing Nidorina, Nidoqueen, and also Rhydon.

  Some other corrections:

  • Pigeotto -> Pidgeotto
  • Ninetails -> Ninetales
  • Diglit -> Diglett
  • Primape -> Primeape
  • Duouo -> Doduo
  • Cloysyer -> Cloyster
  • Ghastly -> Gastly
  • Electrabuzz -> Electabuzz
  • Gyrados -> Gyarados
  • Omantyte -> Omanyte
  • Arodactyl -> Aerodactyl

  (Yes, I looked it up. No, I have no life. :p)

  Cheers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't more filtering systems enable sorting by least viewed/visited, including for older pages/material?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That requires turning every read into a write – which is slow/expensive generally. (That might not matter much for Google – who try to record everything you ever do already, basically – but it matters for everyone else.)

  Also, it tends to promote spam and offensive niche content. kbin’s got a sidebar that tries to promote random low activity communities and posts, for example, and it’s almost uncanny how much crap it pushes up…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most obscure movies you've ever seen?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gundress (1999) is the most obscure anime movie I’ve seen and maybe also the most obscure movie overall – of stuff that was actually professionally made and shown in theaters, anyway. I posted about it in one of the weekly anime threads a couple months ago with some screenshots and additional details.

  Outside of anime, I’ve seen a number of cult films and non-English films that are probably obscure to English speaking audiences, but I have no idea how obscure they actually are. (The one above I know is obscure since it doesn’t even have an English Wikipedia page – unlike every other anime show and movie I’ve seen.)

  Some examples are Wonderwall (1968) with music by George Harrison, eXistenZ (1999), Cemetery Man (1994), and I Served the Kind of England (2006). I know at least one other person on Lemmy has heard of Cemetery Man since it was brought up in a thread around Christmas, but they were surprised I’d seen it.

  Primer (2004) and Dark Star (1974) also came to mind, but I’m not sure if those are actually obscure. They are interesting though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there audiobook releases that have a visual component?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you’d be interested in “kinetic novels”? They’re basically VNs without choices.
