Ah, yes the “Don’t build the Torment Nexus” 🔁 “Big Tech announces the Torment Nexus” loop

Are you really comparing the use of freedom of association with state censorship backed by literal violence?

Yes, and? Doing something wrong because someone else is going to do worse is a deplorable excuse to do something immoral.

Some of them were still doing fine, just not triple the profits well.

The problem is that recall means using Windows is not a problem for Windows users anymore, it’s a problem for everyone that needs to communicate with Windows users.

TLS certs can have one level of wildcard (even let’s encrypt supports this), and creating subdomains programmatically is not exactly black magic - the main blocker from the technical side is that the code to update the DNS is usually not portable between providers, so it’s not adequate for a federated open source project.

Theoretically they can, in practice it’s less than ideal. And that doesn’t solve all the other distros or the combinatory explosion of supporting several distros and versions.

Flatpaks on the other hand give you a single runtime of your choice to worry about (though they still have lots of cons too).

Until they drop it for flatpak as they did all NIH-driven products.

Probably because PPAs only work on Ubuntu and there are more Linux distros and even then it meant having to build and test a package for a couple of different Ubuntu versions.

The kind that would lock me in a basement replicating expensive-but-useless-on-their-own military components.

I would stick mostly to consumables - food, etc. Maybe some mass produced goods that I could easily donate anonymously. It would be extremely useful and unlikely to catch the wrong kind of attention.

In the specific case of PDF most users wouldn’t even know where to add an alt text. Depending on how you generate the PDF it might even be impossible. So I think Mozilla has the same concern as you, and that’s why they aren’t adding this to images in HTML (yet).

The use case they mention (generating alt text for images in PDFs) is something that couldn’t work otherwise and, even if it isn’t perfect, can be a big help to people with visual impairments, while at the same time doesn’t get in the way of the users that don’t need it.

If they keep focusing on these kinds of features instead of going fully Clippy like Google and Microsoft are doing, I think it’s fine.

When we talk about human rights we usually talk about the “what”, and talking about just the “what” leads to misconceptions like that. So the question is why we have human rights. And the formulation human right treaties take is some form of “Human dignity is inviolable”, which means that all human lives are worth the same, and that value can’t be diminished in any way. Human rights are then listed in order to protect that ideal.

When you consider this, it becomes obvious that owning humans can’t be a form of the right to private property because it relies on some humans being above others.

That’s also the reason why free speech doesn’t include things like slander or ordering someone killed.

You have never been in any actual court room have you? Or met any police officer or prosecutor for that matter.

Their FAQ says it’s what other VMs call scratchpads which in turn seem to be a tiling workspace you can open as a window in normal workspaces if I understood it correctly.

Lots of studios use Denovo to try to reduce piracy during the release period of the game, and then remove it when the impact of piracy would be lower. It probably involves everything from managing customers good will to the cost of Denovo over time.

One of the effects of capitalism is that people are conditioned to think as growth in quantity is the end goal of all human activity.

This makes it harder to realize that, as far as the Fediverse is concerned, at very least, Lemmy and Mastodon have achieved viable self-sustaining networks and that driving inorganic growth by targeting users in other platforms would reduce the viability of the network because it makes onboarding new users harder. An example of this even inside reddit was when a subreddit got a sudden large influx of new subscribers they invariably lost what made them stand out in the first place.
