Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced it will cease supplying fuel to U.S. military forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine.

        It’s that boomer Facebook “I don’t consent to use using data” meme in it’s newest form.

        He’s the equivalent of one of those Facebook people that thinks “if you put this at the end of your posts they can’t steal your comments”. It’s nonsense and doesn’t change anything. Just ignore it and keep scrolling.

          I miss the old web, where if someone wanted to RP as a alien or a cat or something in all their forum posts, we just kind of rolled with it. The internet was strange and diverse.

          So many people are dog piling this guy because, in essence, he isn’t conforming. He’s including a little forum signature on his lemmy posts in 2025.

          Just ignore it and keep scrolling.

          I agree, but not in a “this guy is an idiot” kind of way, but in a “do whatever you want and keep the internet diverse and strange” kind of way. Let the guy have his small protest. Folks need to stop dog piling him. It shows up in many of the threads he’s in, and judgments about his little signature dominate over anything he actually had to say.

            Yep, yep. Like right here for example. And this was going on 9-10 months ago too, its a bi-daily thing.

            A single line of text that is a link to a Creative Commons license really shouldn’t be pissing off so many people.

            I mean, do people also get pissed off when they scroll down the bottom of each and every Wikipedia page, and see the CC license there? Or read an news article that has a license footer at the end of the article?

            To be tinfoil hatty about it for a moment, I really do believe at this point that I’m being attacked repeatidly (every 48ish hours) by a bot brigade used by someone(s) who really doesn’t want others to start doing what I’m doing, licensing their content, by harassing me off of Lemmy.

            My licensing is not just to tell for-profit entities that they can’t use my content for free, its to tell non-profit open-source projects that they can use my content for free.

            I agree, but not in a “this guy is an idiot” kind of way,

            Yeouch. I thank you for the support, but damn that hurts too.

            For the record, I truly believe that the Safe Harbor laws, and that Laws trump ToS, means that I truly own the content that is being posted here (and so do you and everybody else who posts/comments, for that matter). Even if its not being inforced today, the laws are on the books, and this will come to a head a some point.

            I mean, look at whats going on right now with Mozilla/Firefox and their ToS changes. Corporations sure are not shy to use licensing of their content to the best of their abilities.

            Why should only corporations avail themselves and be protected by the law? Why is everybody else so quick to surrender the little protections under the law that they have, and to ridicule others who try to use the law to their benefit?

            Take a moment, and really think that one though. Its like there’s a Corporate version of Order 66 going on or something. 😜

            By the way [email protected], while I started to reply to you directly, the above is really a response to everyone who would be intellectually honest in judging my actions and take a moment to think it though before replying to me.

              When you wear a tinfoil hat out in public, the people snickering aren’t trying to tap into your brainwaves. Well, I mean shit, maybe they are. Depends on the drip.

            In complete accord with this comment. We’ve stared into the abyss so long, we’ve become the abyss.

            That’s quite the axe you’ve got there, mr. ayyy. You been grinding it on any dragons lately? Just, bringing it up on random comments about internet behavior?

        In this way the ai bros won’t use that comment for training LLMs. Because they care about copyright and they would never, for example, download a torrent with 81 terabytes of pirated ebooks

          Be hilarious if it catches on and all the LLM bots start eroneously claiming to be CC licensed.

      What if Elon has already bought them all? It doesn’t take much for a jizzilionaire like him

        His wealth is mostly imaginary. If he actually moved to solidify any significant portion of it, it would all collapse as its tied up in very few companies.

        When he was at a listed value of 200 billion he had to get 20-30 other groups and governments together for the whole twitter takeover. Which should have been easy for him at the time based on his net worth alone.

          1. It’s always better to spend the money of others.
          2. It doesn’t appear that bribing congresspeople is all that expensive. IIRC, it only took $60k to bribe that one congressperson who got caught.
          3. Just the threat of financing primary challengers appears to be enough to control Republican congresspeople. He’s probably privately doing the same with some Dems too (offering not to finance challengers; he’s already said he will finance challengers to all Democrats).
