Yes. (The "takers" also do not have copyright protection.)

Don't burner phones exist?

If someone went up to me and "made their concerns known", I think I'd likely just walk away. It's the best way to defuse the situation.

That does sound absurd indeed.

Actually, yes! It's cheap, and the battery life is awesome. One could go for a second hand old style flip phone.

Not only would that be unenforceable, this comment shows just why these licenses don't work: everyone wants their restriction added onto it. That's why my stuff is in AGPL, so people who want to use proprietary licenses such as

Ah, I see their end goal here. You can either use a full browser to download data from websites (which is what most people will still do), but they provide a temptation to just pay CloudFlare to bypass their Turnstile (which corporations mi

Probably friction. Will you be able to convince your friends to do that?

I think "hacktivist" here means hacking into the politician's inboxes and leaking the contents, like "politicians want to do this to you; let's see how they like it when it's done to them" sort of thing.

From the title, I thought this was about giving (end) users choice, not giving website owners the choice to restrict their users. Not that it matters much anyway, since thankfully users always have the choice to just ignore it.

Given CloudFlare's direction, I won't be surprised if they start offering "anti adblock as a service" soon. Detecting it is still rather simple, and add in some punishments such as temporary IP blocking, and it would be

I couldn't find any source code either. Cobalt also isn't really libre; their backend is AGPL, which is great, but their frontend is CC BY-NC-SA, which is not so great (and definitely not open-source). I'd advise against down

I'd like to recommend YTDLnis for Android: https://github.com/deniscerri/ytdlnis Been using it as a replacement for YouTube. I don't stream nowadays, only download.

There's no incentive for them to do so. It reduces their ad revenue, while costing more money to host it. That said, if you are a creator and you do want to do it, Peertube is a good option because it uses torrent technology to reduce

And just to add on, if someone replies "but you can see if someone is video recording": not audio recording. That one is completely invisible.

It'll become as socially acceptable as installing a dashcam on your car. Or having a camera on your motorcycle helmet.

A few differences: you don't need to learn how to self-host (this is why centralized services became so popular in the first place), it's two-way communication, and the point about relays is that as long as just one allows you t

Nostr has a better UX than ActivityPub IMO, for the basic reason that you do not need to learn how to self-host a server or depend on an unaccountable admin that might shut down the server at any time. In Nostr, you just create an account a

1. Information cannot be stolen. Piracy is not theft. 2. The pirated information wasn't even used! It was just stored in a library, but was not used to train any released models.

I recommend Matrix, and it works well for me. I'm using Element (old) on Android though, not Element X.

Biased TL;DR: Reddit (notable for having a high stock value from their "selling data" business [1]), Medium, Quora, and Cloudflare competitor Fastly created a standard to restrict what the reader can do with the data users create

It's not so black and white. Obviously social and political change is the goal. But in the meantime technology can help if you're living under repression. Take VPNs and Tor helping people jump the Great Firewall of China for examp

This is indeed incredibly sci fi. I still remember my ChatGPT moment, when I realized I could actually talk to a computer. And now it can run fully on an RPi, just as if the RPi itself has become intelligent and articulate! Very cool.

Oh, yeah no you can't. The data has to be obtained legally. Common crawl and the Reddit archives should be fine though. TOSes don't count.

This is already a thing in several places. EU has copyright exemptions for AI training. You don't need to respect opt outs if you are doing research. South Korea, Japan has some exemptions too I think? Singapore has very strong copyrig

DMCA is a US thing, and people in other countries don't have to follow it.
