What about "We Fedicast"?

This is terrible news. :( Sorry to hear that work makes you download from proprietary store front. I suppose, expecting phones with LineageOS, CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, etc given for work purposes is a bit much at this moment, but at least side-loading should be provided if we're to avoid monopoly. To me, it's never healthy if organization is fixated on using only the single app kit for everything.

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

Sadly, not yet. (Also missing this feature.)

I hope to impose a better question: why would it not cost the developer? $25 may be a steal for some, but I don't think a proprietary store really deserves so much attention from primarily FOSS developer.

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

A fun story: I was curating my magazine on Melroy's instance and didn't butt heads with any regression when he switched from Kbin to Mbin. Nice to see priorities set straight on migration!

In retrospective, it's a practical decision to move away from downtimes, especially seeing as development is so rapid now.

We might do a mirror to Codeberg to avoid a complete dependency on GitHub, while accepting PRs on the side. Priorities tell us to postpone this idea in favor of long-awaited changes and fixes, though! 😉

It's a fun idea to explore, which is why I didn't nod it off. 😄 Imagine: PeerTube channel as a magazine (under the hood, it's a link between video posts made by actor/boosted by ActivityPub group and magazine entries). Not only we'd have a way to preview several videos on a singular page, but also see description and likes. There is certainly a room for improvement in this model, just leaving it here before I forget.

Hello! I had the same question and I've got a perspective from one fellow contiributor: Matrix thread. (There'll probably be an error when you first open it: join the room with your account and try my link once more.)

Whether the meme is meant to be shared in some other context or not, I think, is the decision that should be based on the sum of copyright liberation and how generalistic the contents are. Today, I can't bear a thought of reposting some stranger's niche meme on social media without at least attaching a source or creator, because I'm most likely making one more point where engagement with the same meme ends - and reposting full works doesn't qualify as commentary/criticism/research, so it's not a fair use, to begin with.

That's why we are correct of assuming the worst from the bots: programming any fair use considerations is left to gather dust, as it's ultimately something that human has to decide.

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.
