A chilly Sunday morning but a book and a fire make it cozy nonetheless.

@Theeo123 to be clear, they dismissed the vicarious infringement claim. The direct infringement claim, which is key, remains in the case and will likely end up being litigated fully if the parties don’t settle.
@shoq I see a little commentary about it on Bluesky but not a whole lot. Most of the (over)reaction seems to be here.
Grand Admiral Shaun DukeHeyo, friends! Tonight's AlphabetStreams night!

Alfie Kohn"Woke" is the baking soda of epithets - it does everything! Don't want corps. to address climate change? Hate seeing women or people of color cast in roles previously played by white males?

Chris TrottierIf @stephenpa's journey to the Fediverse is typical—and I believe it is—adoption of the Fediverse will take time.
Because people need to be mindful of Big Social's pains.
Then they need to how the Fediverse alleviates that pain.
We have to be aware that Big Social is addictive, and habits are hard to break.
But there will always be an event where someone says "enough is enough".
For those people, the Fediverse is here—and it's a better future!
