Do I have to grant a third party permission to post to my account? Or do I have it auth with my credentials locally?

It helps to download content (like YouTube videos for PeerTube instances) when you’re rate limited
It helps with spam campaigns.
1·8 months agoDid they even try to get the law changed?
That law has exemptions (eg for the USPS). If they put zero effort into asking legislators to permit the IRS to ensure that the tax payers money doesn’t just turn into a subsidy for corporations, they’re assholes.
Because it’s a gift to corporations at the expense of taxpayers.
It means that any company can take that code, modify it (as would be required every year per IRS tax changes), and resell it without being required to publish the source code changes.
What many European countries are doing is requiring the government to publish code under a copyleft license. That would allow companies to also benefit from this code to make their own tools (which they could also sell), and it would require them to publish the source code of their improvements.
Basically copyleft legally ensures collaboration. Public domain does not.

That was before copyleft was a thing. Many European governments are now requiring tax funded software to be copyleft.
There are exceptions to that law, such as the USPS. Sounds like we need to contact our legislators to get the law updated
Licensing CC0 is just subsidizing corporations at the expense of tax payers. It should be copyleft because it was funded publicly

Nah, that law was written before copyleft licenses were widespread. There are exemptions for contractors and some groups like USPS.
I’m saying that law is wrong, and it needs to be changed.

CC0 = gift to corporations at the expense of taxpayers
Copyleft = everyone owns it and all derivatives, even from corporations

A copyleft would absolutely be appropriate here.
It was paid for with public funds.
It doesn’t matter what OP likes. We shouldn’t be linking to inaccessible content on Lemmy. That’s low effort posting that harms our communities.
Ugh, it’s licensed CC0 public domain. Assholes.

What’s the license?
Edit: Ugh, it’s licensed CC0 public domain. Assholes.
The way I usually do it is by flagging the article and asking the mods to please ban articles from this site.
Post is low effort if OP didn’t bother trying to find a source that’s accessible to all. It only takes a few minutes ffs

I dont know what that means. Do the oauth creds get shared with a third party or no?
The point is that most of these solutions require me letting an app post on my behalf. I don’t want that.
