Good morning Fedi friends!

News headlines this week make me feel like we're stuck in a permanent April Fool's Day.

Tuesday 11/11: "Apple Just Announced a $230 Knitted Sock for Your iPhone" https://www.macrumors.com/2025/11/11/apple-150-knitted-sock-for-your-iphone/

Thursday (today): "Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine’s video archive" https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/12/jack-dorsey-funds-divine-a-vine-reboot-that-includes-vines-video-archive/

We live in the strangest timeline.

Time to go offline and do some sound mix work.

Wishing you all a great day 🌞

@_elena why the fuck is it *nostr* out of all protocols. i can at least kinda understand atproto but NOSTR????

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@_elena i would like to again propose that someone who is far smarter than I set up an #ActivityPub enabled Vine clone. also, do they have the authority to be using ANY of the content from the archive?

@GroupNebula563 @_elena I think people that signed up in Europe might be protected by the GDPR… but maybe Vine was pre-GDPR.

@GroupNebula563 nope, they claim it under fair use.

From the article:
"Vine creators, who still own the copyright to their work, can send diVine a DMCA takedown request if they want their Vines removed, or they can verify they’re the account holder by demonstrating they’re still in possession of the social media accounts that were originally listed in their Vine bio. (This process isn’t automated, though, so there could be a delay if a large number of creators try to do this at once.)"

@juandesant @GroupNebula563 excellent point

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@_elena yep that sounds scummy all right

[placebo@mastodon.ie]

@_elena I like the knitted sock, but not its price tag

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@placebo it reminded me of iPod socks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Socks but the price tag is ridiculous
