@aschmitz it’s very interesting because every article about Golan v. Holder explicitly talks about Peter and the Wolf no longer being public domain, but none of them identify any party who actually has the ability or motivation to levy a copyright infringement lawsuit
presumably there is someone, but it just goes to show in a sense how people think about these things (wrongly, imo)
anyway i would argue translation is fair use insofar as “the copyright holder” is not engaged or interested in producing or licencing a translation of their own but consult your lawyer on that
remembering when i was at a library tech conference in october and an archives guy was like “i would love to get sued because at least then i might learn who took the photograph”
Wikipedia claims peter and the wolf was formerly in the public domain but placed back under copyright by Golan v. Holder—who is the copyright holder tho?
superhero movies
@alyssa marvel database (fandom wiki) calls it Earth-199999, most people just don't know it
@jdp23 @rysiek@mstdn.social @smallcircles @fifilamoura @laurenshof @FediThing i’d posit that most uses of “fediverse” are in reference to a protocol, software implementation, or network of servers, and most uses of “fedi” are in reference to cultures, scenes, or communities, and start there when establishing a distinction
there are lots of fediverse implementations and lots of fedi communities but the two don't map onto each other cleanly at all
@alyssa if you watched into the spiderverse and liked it you should definitely read the miles morales comics tho because they do the storyline better
@alyssa silk is my fav spidey but that's the character not the comics
i mostly only read spidey comics tho
@aescling @coriander honestly if your goal is to communicate messages to people you should pick a different medium than participatory performance art
i’m not saying games can’t contain messages, or that it’s bad to think about the messages in games
but if you don’t want people throwing the whole narrative in the rubbish bin for their any% speedrun, or if it hurts your feelings when players routinely play the game the “wrong way” because they really like the animation for this one mechanic and hate all the others, or (importantly) if it bothers you when people play your game without really thinking on the bus ride to work or school instead of in devoted hourslong sessions dedicated entirely to understanding your vision as an artist, maybe you’re in the wrong business
@noelle honestly before like the iPhone 6 because jailbreaking used to be a household term

@aschmitz we have a https://www.cleanairkits.com/products/luggables and it’s fine i just constantly catch myself wondering why my laptop is working so hard before (1) remembering my laptop is an M1 mac and virtually never gets hot and (2) realizing it’s not my laptop at all
@aescling i have explorers of sky you can play it if you move in
