Hopefully this teaches people there are platforms to upload video other than Yotube.

Do they get to stay in the tautology club?

My understanding is that Matrix is worse than XMPP in basically every way.

Signal is unfortunately as vulnerable to this as Telegram is, as it is a fully centralized service so once the CEO is grabbed is Game Over. Something like jabber / XMPP would be better.

So wait, Apple effectively mandates that users of their store lie to their users? Wonder if that’s something that can be tackled legally.

And that’s why IMO the project should ensmallened. Instead of trying to catch up to everything bloatware internet and Google are doing, Neo Firefox / Neo Mozilla could instead focus on developing a subset that’s lean and safe to use (no JS, for example) or even promote and offer first-class support to alternative internets like Gemini (the actual one, not Google’s namesquat).

There are still versions of Opera with their own original engine going around.

Damn, Presto should return. That thing could load like 300 tabs in like 30, maybe 60 MB RAM tops.

Tired: CEOs, changing CEOs

Hey, it works wonders for Python.

So now Mozilla can stop receiving their hush money, right?

Only after the researchers tried a Bayesian analysis

If I remember my college classes right, this basically means “we invented data to fit the curve we want”, right?

Since when has any antivirus ever had the intent of actually protecting against viruses? The entire antivirus market is a scam.

Damn, I had my hopes on this one. Two misses in one month is a pretty bad record.

No need to invoke copyright. They’ll just do it to own the libs.

I’m totally fine with something like 540p or 480p, although I guess that’s because my preference is good ol’ TV shows that aired in the 90s or 00s over TV cable, so I’m fine with SDTV quality. And honestly, there’s not much sense in downloading all seasons of, say, Ally McBeal in 4K when you can download 8 full glorious 90s shows with their entire seasons in SDTV in the same space.

Even with “modern” stuff, I’ve seldom found a movie or TV show post 2012 that merits anything higher than 720p. I don’t get why don’t movie codecs get a multi-res options so that for example you can get the action scenes in 1080p, even 60fps if you want, but the melancholic scenes and the quiet drama scenes and the credits in 480p. Would save lots of space without losing quality where it matters.

Oh, you believe law is fair? You sound so cute.

Maybe filing a charge.org petition to raise an alternative service to charge.org. Maybe something in the Fediverse, even!

Hahahahha! The sucker.

only half an hour

no information on the internet connection quality

Minetest I guess. Can’t trust that I can get Retroarch plus the cores and games I want on time, and it’s not worth the hassle for only 3 hrs drive.

From an ethical standpoint, in the modern world, not teaching your children how to pirate is being an irresponsible parent. Not just because the “download stuff for free” aspect of piracy, but because piracy is associated to a number of moral and ethical decisions and tenets that also form important ideologies. Getting ready access to information, and being capable to redistribute information, for example, is a key element to anti-fascism ideologies which is why eg.: punk places an emphasis on radio. Being able to fight your own fights instead of only trading on the currency (digital or otherwise) other people impose on you is a core element of both digital and physical sovereignty, which is one of the reasons why stuff like KYC laws or banning of sex workers in economic operations have to be fought against.

Would need a change to eg.: DMCA as well because even if the IP was lost to the public domain, having to crack the DRM to get the game working in the first place would still be illegal.

Heck, just taker the oppoerunity and also redo DMCA from scratch.
