Here’s a hot tip. If you’re on android, open the developer settings and turn on “demo mode” before taking screenshots. It makes the battery and signal display as 100% so you don’t get judged by internet commenters who don’t go outside.

Imslp is a free library of public domain music. I too find their fundraising methods distasteful, but full resolution scans take up much more server space than plain text, so I understand it. Imslp remains the best source for public domain scores.

MuseScore is an open source project. Due to its license the software itself must be open source perpetually, the new owners have used it to push their proprietary network to make money by hijacking a free software project.

I have musescore 3 on my computer because version 4 is such a step backwards.

Those two goals are fundamentally at odds with each other.

Presumably still is.

The EFF is an American non-profit, that’s their area of expertise.

However, most of this article is about the DMCA. The DMCA is the US’s implementation of the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty of 1996. A treaty which has been signed by 110 countries, all of which are required to pass their own version of the DMCA. Though some specifics may change, instances hosted in most countries will have to comply with the DMCA or very similar legislation.

In my cursory research, it seems to be possible to view mastodon through Kbin. And possible to view Lemmy through Mastodon.

Lemmy doesn’t have support for following user accounts, only communities.

All the platforms use the same backend. So there’s no reason full mastodon interoperability couldn’t be added to Lemmy in the future.
