  Apple got to patent rounded corners. The entire patent system is a joke.

    Do you have the right to license your Fediverse comments like this?

      Wait, their comment was removed because they tried to copyright it? I’ve seen some bonkers things online in my day, but legally protecting your brain fart on Lemmy is a new one.

        Hah, didn’t see that coming.

        It does feel a little “sovereign citizen”-y, but I’m guessing based on the general sentiment around here that they want to discourage scraping Lemmy for LLM training data. It’s an… interesting… tactic though, as I would imagine most instances give themselves exclusive control over content licensing. I’m kind of curious how copyright would be applied in a federated network, though: would instances apply a license to incoming data, leaving other instances with the responsibility of defederating from them if they don’t agree with the license, or would the instance apply a license to outgoing data, forcing other instances to either comply or defederate?

      If it’s a creative work then you get the Copyright on it, and can release it as you like. The work must meet a required level of creativity to qualify.

      If people want to try and license their posts, why would instance owner care?

        Roses are in, violets are out, perhaps this is such creative, but I have much doubt.

        I’m not questioning that so much as… can’t instances force you to license you’re content to them in the same way Reddit does, potentially one that is incompatible with the NC and SA designations?

  Infrared SPOx meters have been around forever

  Reflectance based pulse oximeters have only been commercialized in the last decade or so. The transmissive ones that shine IR through tissue (where the IR source and the IR sensors are on opposite sides of a fingertip or earlobe) have been around for decades, but a one-sided pulse oximeter that maintains accuracy with movement is basically a recent invention.
