I tried to give my old Wii and games to my 11 year old son, he refused them.
  • Why did you attach a link about Creative Commons and copyright laws?

    Oh, no particular reason at all. Just seemed like a fun thing to do.

    šŸ¤·šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‡

    All kidding aside, that's something of a loaded question.

    Instead of a repeating myself, yet again, let me just point you to this topic...

    Just click on the "View all Comments" link, to go to the top of the topic. It's a full discussion.

    If you want something more recent (like yesterday recent), then I'd point you to this topic...

    Otherwise, you can look through the last threeish weeks of my posting comment history, and you'll see the same subject come up multiple times, and be discussed.

    Edit: Wow, seven down votes in just a few seconds from time of posting the comment. That must be a record.

  • Why does deleting a post not actually delete it?
  • If you click ā€œsourceā€ on a deleted comment, you can see what was written before it was deleted on the Mlmym interface.

    Sounds like they're caching the comments, and not honoring the deletion request by removing the comment from their cache.

  • Can you at least make the text smaller? That way people arenā€™t as bothered by it, but you still have your licence?

    I already did actually, a couple of weeks ago.

    I'm using the Lemmy web editor. The web client doesn't let you change font sizes, but it does let you mark font as subscript or superscript, which is a smaller font size, so I did that.

    My understanding is some mobile clients have problem with the subscript/superscript formatting, and the cause of that is on their end, not supporting the format text yet.

    If you don't see my license declaration in a smaller font, direct the devs of your client to look at this page, which is the formatting instructions from Lemmy, and specifically the subscript and superscript formatting.

    But you need to add one more stat, for paywalled or not, including if they count how many articles you've read before they put up the 'must subscribe' paywall.

  • Why does deleting a post not actually delete it?
  • Others don't see the text of the comment though, it just says comment is deleted.

    To answer your question, basically for Federation reasons (if I had to guess).

    Its the same way with when you block someone, you're not blocking them from the seeing you, you're blocking yourself from seeing them. They can still respond to your comments and you wouldn't know they had.

  • If your comments are going to gum up the thread with a segment that they donā€™t think will have any effect, whatā€™s a few more to match?

    Well their comments are their responsibility, not mine (you shouldn't 'blame the victim'), so I can't talk towards their actions, except to say that each of us are supposed to behave civilly here on Lemmy, and not bully others to conform.

  • You are writing ā€œanti-commercial AI,ā€ they are making their work explicitly available to republish non-commercially.

    That's just a description of what the license actually does, non-commercial usage of my content.

    It's actually not even my description, it's one I got from someone else, who's also licensing their content with the same license.

    I have no problem with my content being used for non-commercial purposes.

    You have completely different motivations.

    No, I do not. My intent aligns with ProPublica.

  • [Gamers Nexus] ASUS Says We're "Confused"
  • I donā€™t think the license does anything at all

    ProPublica would disagree with you.

    you are not also including some unique phrase or UUID

    The specific license number is explicitly stated.

    How are you going to prove their models used specifically your copyrighted content in the event that courts rule it is not fair use to do so?

    Already discussed in that other conversation post.

    I've explained myself quite well in that conversation.

    And again, no need to repeat, it's all there already. Unless you guys just enjoy repeating yourself again and again with zero effect.

    Thanks, and no disrespect meant, but I would believe that more if you did license your own comments as well.

    In case you need the formatting for it, here it is...

    Feel free to replace the link to point to whatever license you wish to use for your own content, if you do not want to use the same one that I am using.

  • My guess is that people disagree with propagating the delusion that pasting that link in every comment helps with stopping AI from feeding on your input.

    ProPublica disagrees with you.

    But best not to derail this topic. It's been discussed to death already.

  • [Gamers Nexus] ASUS Says We're "Confused"
  • Well that link just leads to somebody mocking you then leads to another thread about how the license thing is totally bullshit lol

    You're being intellectually dishonest.

    It points to a comment that has a link to a ProPublica article posted on Lemmy that also uses a Creative Commons license in the description for the post.

    And if you instead go to the top comment of my linked comment ('View all comments' link), then you'll see the whole long conversation that I refer to, where every point has already been discussed.

  • [Gamers Nexus] ASUS Says We're "Confused"
  • It must be the AI accounts that take offence with the licence.

    That would be my guess.

    There's a lot of history in the last three-ish weeks in multiple of my posts with me using the license, including a standalone topic, where people/""people"" are ripping into me every way they can for using it, so I'm assuming it's just more of that.

    The same cycle tends to reoccur approximately every day to every other day. Usually someone asking an innocent question about it, and then somebody else replies to them, ripping into me, and then it explodes from there, derailing the OP.

    I hate that the Lemmy admins are not taking care of the problem (if you admins are, and I'm just not just seeing it, then you have my apologies, and my thanks), but I'm also kind of numb to it at this point.

    Getting to the topic of the OP...

    Gamers Nexus is very consumer advocacy oriented, so I hate to think people are downvoting them for being them.

    In fact, if you're looking to build a PC, and want good advice on your rights when it comes with warranty repair for products you may have purchased, I would definitely suggest watching the video that's linked In this topic (start @26:00 if you are in a hurry).

    Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels'

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10799766

    (Edit: Cross-posted OP (link above) was mod removed by the Discord forum 'admin' on 2024-01-19 as being "False claim, false interpreted", so the above link will no longer work.)

    Recently read this on a Steam game's reviews section ...

    User Comment...

    > The game's Discord REQUIRES your personal phone number to get access at all. This is a very intrusive, and 100% unnecessary requirement, in order to just be able to interact with others about the game, it's content, player experiences, and many other things. It's also intrusive in regards to being able to contribute any input to help other players in any way at all.

    Dev Response...

    > It's Discord that's asking you for verification of the account. We're not getting your phone number. This is standard practice on bigger servers that allows for a better user experience, filtering bots/ spam accounts, trolls, etc.

    Could companies please STOP lying about it being Discord's choice, its not, is the Discord server's choice to ask for it.

    Its a "Verification Levels" setting that the server op sets, and they have multiple options that they can choose from, its not an on/off switch. They can dial it back one notch and still have spam/bot protections.

    The only difference between "High" and "Highest" verification levels is the addition of asking for a phone number, all other features of "High" is in "Highest", and "Highest" has no other extra features besides asking for the phone number.

    Makes it really hard to have an pseudonym account on the Internet, for gaming purposes, and then be asked for your real phone number. I don't need to be tracked 24/7.
