Here that doesn't change or help in any way. You're the one on the contract for the Internet access, so you're responsible. That's it.

You can operate as an ISP, but the requirements and responsibilities that go with that make this a non-starter. From my (limited) understanding, it includes that if you can't provide the identity of someone who is being sued (including piracy, but also any other law breaking), you're responsible.

Just as s comment for someone else reading this: if this actually has a chance to protect you is highly dependant on your local laws. Even then, at least from my understanding, any lawsuit has to progress relatively far (involving lawyers to a significant degree) for this to become potentially relevant.

That also means you can't downvote just wrong information anymore. Look at YouTube, which disabled down votes and nothing got better. And their votes weren't even public.

I think that's a terrible idea.

Considering this at least seems more like an internal hand over than a buy out, you're probably fine.

They took very large sums of money from venture capital firms. As in many millions. Those now require constant and perpetual number-go-up. This won't stop getting worse, let alone get better. There are other services. If you're a creator, use them.

WotC did some shady shit before, too. Certainly right improve since the acquisition though.

If you're reading this and think "that's me", you might wanna look up DSPD and/or Non24 (N24). That might also be you then.

I would also add that if this proves to be successful, having a second generation that (can) run on catenary isn't out of the question. Even for parts of routes this might be an option, still having the flexibility of batteries for the areas or something?

It certainly is faster to get up and running this way. We'll see I guess...

The cars/trams are also small enough that the wires would be low enough to be a problem. I assume they share the road where trucks are allowed to be a certain height. Also assuming this is mostly in cities, you just can't put overhead wires in all places with low effort.

Well the ones I knew how to reproduce are gone, thanks! I'll use it a bit and see if it still crashes somewhere.

No problem, it's just the version and it confused me a bit.

But in a somewhat unrelated note, the app now seems to crash quite a bit while it didn't before. For example using the icons or buttons to go to a post from the inbox will reliably crash it for me every time.

Since I'm on the APK version, I dunno how to get crash logs to you...

Dunno if that's a real issue, but trying to update via Obtainium just seems to fail. It seemed to update, but I only got v1.64.1, tried manually downloading the asset and same result. Was the version not incremented or an I don't something wrong?

Edit: manually went to the APK GitHub, downloaded via browser, same result.

 

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
