This seems very naive to me. There are enough people yelling "OK Groomer" at me on certain platforms that I know the signal to noise ratio is bad enough that engaging is at best a waste of time and at worst getting more soundbites

They once gave my data to law enforcement without notifying me, with no obligations not to notify me. It wasn't even an investigation into me, but a shotgun "everyone who talked about this gets asked to testify" case, specifi

This seems to be a common pattern with Microsoft Services these days. A few months ago, Outlook for Mac switched to seemingly requiring you to opt-in to having your IMAP credentials (or Google OAuth token I guess) stored and your mailbox an

But that's not exactly what happened here. I'm totally with you on mobilizing your users to affect change, but this was asking for hush money instead of enabling Apollo to continue operating?

Can anyone explain the joke to me? Why would reddit cut Apollo a $10M check? Is this just a cheeky "so you think my use of the API provides me with $20M of value" comeback at the ridiculous API pricing? It did, in part, sound like

Has been happening for the sub-60W market for a long time. Lenovo has also gradually been adding USB-PD to their gaming laptops, first at 100W and by now I believe at 140W. Though the one I use can use up to 300W and the only viable afterma

I would absolutely trade in public displays of karma for having a random username assigned to every one of my posts with my history being obscured while still keeping track of "karma" for moderation / feature gating.

The neoliberals insisted on that so that the very poor or those without a bank account would not be able to get it, not because of any kind of tracking. No system in Germany has gates and ticket checks are so rare, it's not really viab

It's especially egregious the neoliberals here insisted it only be bookable as a subscription, not as a paper ticket. Mostly so that very low income / homeless people couldn't use it. Almost like they hate the poor or somethi

I used to do this "intercepting bad ideas" out of habit, but often the people who had the bad ideas had more senior job titles and salaries than me. It got me in a lot of trouble, mostly because I gained a reputation for being ver

The most commonly cited example is a musician objecting to use of their music during a neo nazi rally. They won that case as the court judged the integrity of the work to be compromised.

Oh, I feel it's pretty grating too, as a user. There's also a pretty hard bias in what is considered political and what is not. When I happen to disclose my identity (which is considered very political, apparently), even if it is

There's a reason websites that host several communities ban such interactions upon the request of the recipient of the traffic; brigading is bannable on reddit.

If you wanted to split hairs this thin, you wouldn't use any project with at least one german citizen as contributor, since they can never truly yield all copyright on a work. You'll be fine. Anonymous contributions to free softwa

You are misunderstanding. You can discuss your conspiracies anywhere you want, just not on a post pointing to the people that have to deal with the fallout of your unfounded conjecture. Also assuming there is a "fake contributor",

That seems interesting and like a technically correct way to go, but also I can see nobody adopting it on a general purpose operating system and thus rendering it useless. Getting developers to use portals already is hard enough. Thanks for
