Punish people for things they have no control over. You’re a smart one.

You could look at the requests coming from your machine to see if it’s directly querying the site or sending a query to the third party server to fetch the details.

My hunch would be it’s a local request but it’s easy enough to confirm.

Is this not loss?

Ricardo was testing in production

Any specific infringement material (by which I mean media) would only be on the user’s home server. Links to content aren’t what is actionable for a DMCA notice as far as I’m aware. And the DMCA does not require platforms to actively monitor or remove potentially infringing content, only to follow the takedown procedure when sent an appropriate notification. If they follow that then they are protected from liability. That’s US law but IIRC the implementations in most of the rest of the world are similar if not the same. And here’s the rub: even without those communities, LW will still need to have a DMCA agent and take action against content when notified because people can and will upload infringing media here on other communities.

They’re not exposing themselves to additional risk by having the piracy communities unblocked. People can and will discuss piracy, in abstract terms at the very least, all over the place. And discussion of copyright infringement is not copyright infringement anyway. Any liability and risk they do hold they will still have to worry about now regardless.

As others said, you’re talking about CGI

Does your lemmy instance have a character limit?

I think a lot of the issue is the widespread use of the term Intellectual Property which, arguably deliberately, conflates a few completely distinct legal concepts under one umbrella.

IIRC it doesn’t need a display, it’s a Web-based UI that you can use from another computer on the network if it doesn’t have a display, VNC would be overkill. Maybe they changed that.

There is a more performant C++ implementation but it’s been a long while since I’ve used either it or the java implementation. Worth checking out.

I think this is related to the recent security vulnerability that affected, notably, lemmy.world. Even unaffected instances mostly decided to invalidate existing user sessions just to be sure and this required resetting Jerboa and some other apps that presumably hold onto a cached version of your auth token even if you remove the account and re-add it or something. So it was necessary to clear the app cache and storage to reset it and add accounts again.

Thunder has the gestures. Personally I’ve not really got on with them so I’m using Jerboa even though I prefer many other aspects of Thunder. Maybe give it a shot yourself.
