Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.

You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is

Oh this 100% is the government backdoor that they’ve been begging for. “If you can innovate your way into it, you can innovate a way out of it.”

That was in regards to Apple phones belonging to Boston bombers being encrypted and locked.

It’s no surprise that behind closed doors, the government asked these companies to create backdoors for them to spy on people.

Switching licenses to future versions doesn’t invalidate previous versions released under GPL.

I’m not a lawyer but I deal with OSS licenses for work and I don’t know if there’s ever been a case like this, that I can think of anyway.

Their previous versions, still being under the GPL, would require them to release a change to make it usable on desktops. Again, I’m not a lawyer here but there is a lot of case law behind the GPL and I think the user who made the issue could take them to court to force them to make the change if they don’t respond in 30 days.

Iirc, once reported, the project has 30 days to remedy or they are in violation of the license. They can’t even release a new version with a different license since this version is out under the GPL.

Vance couch fucking. Mics in the cushions.

Are you sure you want this?

They wanted free labor but own the changes.

They could have gotten free labor if they used a standard license like GPL or even MIT.

But nope. They were greedy.

Consent doesn’t matter to rich people. It’s not exclusive to Musk.

I thought audacity was purchased by some Venture Capital bros and was being enshittified.

Or am I remembering something else? Didn’t they put some sort of tracker or something in their code, causing a fork?

They probably wanted a completely virgin chain, one they had complete control over (socially anyway) so that they could see how it’s used and most importantly where the users come from.

Pornhub.

They have the technology and many of the features in place.

I live in the US. If you live in a state or country that’s totalitarian, then yes a VPN is probably a good idea, tor if you can handle the latency.

It’s only a matter of time until both of those technologies are made illegal.

It depends on your threat profile. I don’t go so far as to use it at home unless I’m downloading torrents or watching porn, since my legislators don’t have a fucking clue how the Internet works and thinks they can PrOtEcT tHe ChIlDrEn by blocking porn.

I’ve started to use VPN when I’m on guest wifis, even encrypted ones. I don’t want their owners to know what sites I visit.

You know, you are right.

I should instead support the guy who is going to nuke Palestine. Right? Completely eradicate them?

Who has sworn to put America first no matter the cost? Even if it means a nuclear winter? The guy who wants to suck Putin’s cock so bad that he sent him one of those kits so that he could get a mold made so that he can practice?

Or it’s just late stage capitalism where the product has truly gone to shit.

Guys…I’ve thought of a way to help fund Harris’ campaign.

Yeah…it’s good that they denounce these falsehoods… Once it affects them!

It’s convenient isn’t it? Spread falsehoods about Haitians, or just saying nothing, but when those falsehoods start affecting them, suddenly it’s time for restraint.

I’m sorry but Republicans have, at best, enabled the alt right monster. Biden is helping them. If he wants people to stop spreading falsehoods, he should have started with things that didn’t affect him.

But then again if he did that, he’d be a Democrat.

They are rare but they are out there.

I was able to find a home for about $320k about 15 miles from the city. I searched for two years. My interest rate is shit. But hey, I have a house!

It was fully renovated.

I’m not saying the market isn’t shit. Because it is due to fucking investors.

I know I am lucky to have a job that pays well, even though it hasn’t kept up with inflation. I know that this isn’t the case for everyone and I’d be willing to take a hit on my home value if it meant others could buy a home too.

But my neighbors don’t feel the same way.

It’s why I highly recommend Fmovies, sudo-lol, and others. The barrier to entry is literally a browser and ublock origin and you can watch just about anything.

You can send someone a link to an episode and they can watch it. No sign ups, no ads (with ad block), and pretty decent service. No explaining what a torrent is. No VPN (though I recommend it of course).

Just pure content.

The main reason he’s hiding it is because he wants to be treated like a god by his followers.

But let’s be honest: he’s going to release a false report if push comes to shove.

He has no upside to release his health records. Or tax record.

They should have increased the payout. It should have been a percentage of what CF would have paid had they paid the troll.

I don’t expect attorneys to be experts in technical work. Even those who are won’t have the same experience as the literal millions of techies out there who know really obscure technology.
