  • So, good news: Since you apparently aren’t scraping the content, only the UI, my first comment is irrelevant. And this probably doesn’t break AGPL.

    Bad news: If I’m understanding you correctly you are copying and re-serving someone else’s page design and layout, which might fall under reproduction of copyrighted material and may be an even bigger issue than what I said in my first comment. Especially since your Terms of Service appears to claim ownership of the design.

    If I were you, I would really make sure you aren’t breaking law with this. Seems like something that could come back to bite you very easily.


  • Hey, just so you know this is legally iffy.

    PieFed.social is hosted in the EU, and this amount of scraping can fall under the Copyright Directive 2001/29/EC and the Database Directive 96/9/EC.

    Even if the content is public, EU law can restrict bulk extraction and republication. Especially if you’re mirroring a substantial part of the site or making it available through your own frontend.

    Might be worth reconsidering what you’re pulling and how you’re using it, or atleast making sure it’s legal.

    edit: I’m obviously not a lawer, this might have no problems related to that, but I would make sure if I were you.


  • I don’t think the linux foundation founds any other kernel besides linux (they found plenty of other stuff ofc). And Linux is hardly the only (production ready and stable) kernel around.

    There’s the BSD family, that has the most popular kernels besides Linux. I think there’s also a couple more use-case specialised ones like Illumos. And there’s some experimental kernels, like Hurd (I think there’s a Hurd/GNU Ubuntu or Debian official distro around) or RedoxOs




  • Point 2 and 3: If I already “leak” (should be: get my activities monitored and collected btw), then surely the most beneficial legal standard for the people (if one meant it as a safeguard again fascism) would be a ban on collecting any private information without explicit, affermative, expiring and unprompted consent?

    This technology has zero potential for fascist abuse.

    This is not “technology”, this is a law being enforced on technology. All laws can get used by politicians to push their ideologies, there isn’t a single regulation that can’t be used to push some agenda.

    Point 5

    There are already tools that allow parents to limit their childrens autonomy. It is the responsibility of the parent to make sure their child is safe, if somebody can’t guarantee that, they shouldn’t be one.






  • I appreciate that you feel strongly, but being this agressive and calling the other person “propagandized” and telling them to “educate yourself”, and not adresing any point made, just makes you seem irrational. You are acting like a redditor, be better.

    Read Marx and Lenin

    I’ve read Marx and Lenin, their work while fundamental to quite a lot of socialist movements, is now mostly outdated. Read something modern, there are more relevant analysis of workers material conditions. Do you want some recommendations?

    For one, anyone educated would understand that Americans are the best example of sheep in the world and that many Europeans are good second examples. The British for example with their high tolerance for a surveillance, laws that criminalize all manners of small trivialities, etc, etc.

    This doesn’t connect to anything I wrote btw.


  • China isn’t run by an “oligarchy” but by a dictatorship of the communist party via a mandate of the masses

    Almost all one-party systems meet the definition of a oligarchy. Also not via a mandate of the masses, not anymore, read about how Xi Jinping came to be the general secretary.

    they execute CEOs and rich people there

    You could have worded this a bit better, it reads as “being rich is enough to get you executed” and not as “being rich doesn’t make you exempt from capital punishment”. There’s plenty of those over there ofc, over a thousand billionaires.

    They need a police state to control the workers

    Bit irrelevant because all states seek to control the workers, that’s how states work. And why all communistic political ideologies aim to abolish the state at some point.

    Edit: To be clear, I agree with you in general. I just got bugged a bit by those three things 😅


  • Actually 🤓, what lead to this 👆 being the state of things is corporate greed 🤑. The ‘people’ 🐽🐷 who own those ‘services’ make more money💸💸 than entire states - I belive that’s what the kids call a bruh 😑 moment.

    So, I’ve been thinking 🤔, and I belive I found a solution 👍. It’s so simple 🤩, we just need to do some, let’s call them 🤫😇 ‘budget cuts’ 📉 in the highest positions 🤯🔫


  • To everybody acting like the desire path is the problem:

    1. If the problem for you is that it’s ‘bad’ or ‘illegal’, grow a spine so that when you need to break the law, for something that matters, you can do it with dry pants.
    2. If the design doesn’t take into account how people will interact with it, it’s bad and lazy. Only time it would be acceptable to ‘force’ a way to interact with something is when there are safety concerns, and there are none here.
    3. You are traped in a cage of your own making, break free or perish like the dog you are.
