Pointless, you are already in complete control of this. Just disable JS, enable it when you want. If a website doesn’t support your usecase, that’s on you, there is no ADA requirement for JS-free websites

I don’t understand why people nit-pick the wording “serverless” when the benefits of not having to manage servers is very real. Yes, there is a computer. Good job, you pointed it out. No one is paying AWS money because they think amazon is

The problem you talk about is real, for sure. But it is nothing to do with owning _your data._ Your problem is much more aligned with right to repair rather than data ownership/privacy efforts. It’s important that people know what they

If I share a private picture with you by showing you the image on my phone, do you now have a legal right to force me to give you a copy of that picture?

You didn’t pay for the right to own those movies, you paid a small fee for a license to consume their data within the bounds of the contract they laid out. No one here is trying to outlaw Copyright, which is the mechanism that lets companie

Ironicly everything you’ve listed here is an example of companies expressing their rights to control their data. You don’t own music or movies, they aren’t your data. Data rights are for data about you and your behavior. If you retained cop

What is the impact of this? I have the same aversion to government power built into my bones but I can’t think of a concrete way the government would be able to abuse this capability to assert power over me.

“Not Self-signed” and “on the internet” are not the same thing. You can get a cert for a domain that you only use on your intranet. The only public thing about it is the domain registration. You can even use Lets Encrypt to get that cert fo

Reddit is able to license its content in a way that prevents companies from using it while leaving the API free. In fact, making the API paid does nothing for that goal. Scrapping has been long established as legal so if their license doesn

I thought about that. Funny enough crypto and CCs are very much based on the same model. CCs have chip mode. Chip mode transactions are impossible to spoof. They are one time transactions protected with nonces and very good cryptography. Bu
