    Is it 100% confirmed now that the DMCA is from Nintendo themselves? I find it weird that they’d go after (initially small) forks when Ryujinx exists.

    The Suyu team also hosts their code under https://git.suyu.dev, so I wouldn’t exactly call it dead (yet).

      There is no confirmation that this came from Nintendo, nor does it list the actual infringing parts like a normal takedown request should.

    I mean, if you’re going to scream “I’m doing this!” as loud as you can, it’s not a surprise when you get noticed.

          Nah it’s a real project that’s continuing Yuzu’s work, but only half their project is continuing the emulator. The other half is sticking the middle finger to Nintendo, and doing that requires being really obnoxious and loud.

          Suyu is a pun for “Sue you”, which Nintendo would love to do

      Don’t use Gitea, use Forgejo - it’s a hard fork of Gitea after Gitea became a for-profit venture (and started gating their features behind a paywall).

      Codeberg has switched to Forgejo as well.

      Also, there’s some promising progress being made towards ActivityPub federation in Forgejo! Imagine a world where you can comment on issues and send/receive pull requests on other people’s projects, all from the comfort of a small homeserver.

          From here:

          • SAML
          • Branch protection for organizations
          • Dependency scanning (yes, there are other tools for this, but it’s still a feature the open source version doesn’t get).
          • Additional security controls for users (IP allowlisting, mandatory MFA)
          • Audit logging

          None?

          If you need action runners you have to ask for them which is fair as it’s expensive.

          If you self host it’s all free.

            This sadly isn’t true anymore - they now have Gitea Enterprise, which contains additional features not available in the open source version.

              I think we were talking about Forego, but now I’m not sure.

              To be clear Forego is what I was stating didn’t have pay walled features. I know Enterprise auth works, but I haven’t used the others yet.

                Ohh, my bad! I thought the person you were replying to was asking about Gitea. Yeah, Forgejo seems truly free and also looks like it has a strong governance structure that is likely to keep things that way.

    Why TF would you put it on gitlab instead of hosting your own forejo instance?

    I swear, some people are just too eager to get in headlines rather than thinking things through.

      Another, even better way is IPFS.

      Regulators can take down your self hosted site. They cannot take it down if everyone has a piece of it (IPFS).

      Works just like torrents do. Spread it out, and no one can stop it.

      Still selfhosted, kind of, but by everyone.

      I’ve been seeing for a while comments like yours that put a license link at the end of the comment. Can you explain to me the benefits of doing that or is it makes any difference? If I’m not mistaken the content posted on a Lemmy instace adheres to the license that the instance is using.

        It’s purely for commercial AI on my end. Researchers have gotten LLMs to spit out their training data: street addresses, medical data, entire comments, and of course licenses.
        Some countries are still deciding whether commercial LLMs are infringing on copyright by training on copyrighted material without approval, others have already decided. I think the major economical zones that will impact legality will be the USA, EU, and China.

        Until a decision has been made, I’ll continue adding the “free for all except commercial use” license.


        Also, copyright is very complicated. If you copy an entire article from a newspaper and paste it into a post on a lemmy instance, which license does it have? That of the newspaper or that of the lemmy instance? If it’s the former, then what’s the difference if it comes from your brain and not a newspaper? Would it make a difference if the comment were written first on a blog and then copied to lemmy? If it’s the latter, then what’s the point point of the newspaper or the author ever copyrighting it somewhere else if it can just be overridden?
        Next question regarding copyright, since comments are copied and stored on different servers, who would then own the copyright? The lemmy instance sending the comment or the one receiving it?

        I’m not a lawyer and probably things aren’t clear cut. Might be one in one country and a different thing in another.

          My understanding of the Creative Commons licenses is that they are for providing permission to people to use something that they wouldn’t be able to otherwise, due to copyright or other issues. I don’t think the licenses are capable of limiting what people can do with something if it’s already the wild west, or do I have that wrong?

              Oh I clicked the link, mate, and read through a couple links deep. What I’m saying is that my understanding of the license is that it allows permissions for a restricted item, but it does not restrict an item with open permissions. You know what I mean? You need to be a rights holder of something that is protected by copyright or the like, and then you can use this license to open permissions in certain ways, in this case that the item can be used for non-commercial means. So this wouldn’t work with stuff on Lemmy, right?

                Yeah, that’s not how I understand it, mate. It’s a copyright license with “some rights reserved” instead of “all rights reserved”.

                Also text can be restricted. Just because a newpapers publishes an article to public without a paywall, doesn’t mean the text is without copyright. Additionally, it’s not necessary to be a registered, commercial entity in order to be a rights holder. Somebody who makes a video of an event has the right and ability to sell it to news broadcasters. It doesn’t have to a freelancer or a TV studio - any private person may do so.

                Of course, this all changes per jurisdiction and we’re on the internet, which makes things even more complicated.

                  You say it’s a copyright license, and I think that’s exactly where I’m struggling with this. My understanding is that this is a license for something copyrighted or otherwise protected. Copyright protects things from their creation. A copyright license provides certain people action that would otherwise be denied by copyright. So are you saying that your understanding is that what we write here on Lemmy is copyrighted, with authors holding the rights? That would be helpful to know because that has not been my understanding of copyright (and I know country plays an important role here), so that would be interesting to look into.

            The readme file, gitmodules file, and other links within that repo all still reference the now-dead gitlab links. The builds don’t seem to be present at all.

            That will all probably be fixed soon enough but right now that mirror which seems to have just been pushed as-is isn’t entirely usable.

      another one will rise no doubt, either they use a platform that doesn’t care for DMCA’s or they play the whack-a-mole game with the enforcers

      They aren’t you’re thinking of Github, though Gitlab is far from immune to corporate corruption.
