What do you mean? It's right in the lead section:

Even with several details altered, Stoker's heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered all copies of the film to be destroyed. However, several prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema and the horror genre.

Wow, it's the first time I come across anyone who says they use joe. How does it differ from nano and micro?

Btw, I used to use dit several years ago, but swapped it for micro due to some keyboard shortcut issues (which are probably fixed now).

Wow, these are really great updates! I especially like the improved UX around sign up and opening links on servers other than our native one.

Hear, hear, brother.

Seconded! This is one of the best books I've read in recent years.

Update: the issue has been fixed and the feature is now live on Sync for Lemmy!

I see, makes sense. So if I get it correctly, the idea is to make it easier for new people to join the fediverse, and not so much to improve the experience for those of us already here (although it seems that is also a goal).

But why is that such a great benefit? We already have a myriad accounts for different services/platforms; would this be merely a marginal improvement over the current situation?

IMO both of these ended up being poor names.

"Open source" can be co-opted to mean any project with public source code even if it's not open contribution (think SQLite, and many of the projects effectively run by major tech corporations).

"Free software" falls victim to the eternal mixup with freeware, requiring the endless repetition of the "beer vs. speech" analogy.

I personally think "Libre software" is the term that best encapsulates the intended meaning while being unambiguous and not vulnerable to misinterpretation.

Damn, that seems to be flagrantly anti-competitive. Has Microsoft attempted to justify why they do that?
