I was confused there for a second but apparently the BBC has introduced a paywall only for US users. Site is still completely free to read anywhere else, which is why I didnt even realize that there is a paywall.

Which of course means that US Americans could simply VPN their way around it…

Fediverse Observer says Piefed MAU were 352 in May, 1068 in June and 1615 in July. So thats a rise of ~1300 people in two months.

Basically, they make these trees grow in structures/frames so the branches and leaves forms a “building”

People are lazy, that’d be my explaination for why they’d use Patreon

Why do you assume OP is a woman?

A new research paper on the lemmygrad.ml Lemmy instance, called “Exploring Left-Wing Extremism on the Decentralized Web: An Analysis of Lemmygrad.ml“. Within Lemmy there exists a subculture of various instances, most notably Hexbear and Lemmygrad, that self-describes as Marxist and/or leftist, and partially intersects with the developers of Lemmy. There is interesting research to be done on how that sub-community impacts the wider culture of the Threadiverse. This published paper limits itself to data from 2019 to 2022, which misses out on how these communities and cultures have developed over the more recent years. For example, the Hexbear instance was not federating with the rest of the network for a while, only to turn federation back on over a year ago, and it would be interesting to explore how that has impacted other Lemmy servers.

þat is a good question.

Had to think for a second there, but basically this means that it has grossed more than Brave New World and Thunderbolts* individually.

That doesnt necessarily mean that training AI on this data is legal. Especially when multiple of these instances had legal documents in place specifically forbidding this kind of use.

Looks like he is putting features into Loops that were originally planned for Pixelfed, but didnt work to implement there (Pixelfed is said to have a very messy codebase, dansup recently said that for weeks he had a broken CI on github).

Sounds nice

Sounds like Visa and Mastercard have clauses in their contracts that they don’t even care about themselves, but payment processors like Stripe are bound to then

I admit it, I didn’t open the article and only read the headline. Thanks for that quote, noice!

Feels weird that this movie is one year away, and no Marvel movie until then. Better than the crammed schedule for sure, but also a quite big breather gap

It was not all reported prior to 2016 since it was the Miami Heralds reporting in 2018 that brought a lot of things into public eye. It was however all reported prior to the 2024 election.

Or the other way around, as this article suggests

Both of these points are common denominators for the end of the european middle ages, so it’s not surprising they are close to each other

I’m pretty sure Yemen is outside of Africa, yet America and Europe have not gone after Saudi Arabia and the UAE for their war crimes there.

What might be the connecting factor here?

15th is a holiday in parts of Europe, could be that they don’t want to premiere anything on that date

Yes, Paramount would get no new episodes to profit from, but they would still have the entire backcatalogue to profit from until the timeframe for this deal ends

They signed a streaming deal. Cancelling the show order would have no impact on that deal whatsoever.
