That’s not a typical clause and specifically illegal in California. A more common clause in California employment contracts for salaried employees limits outside employment to work that does not interfere with one’s job responsibilities, ba

Huh, for some reason, I thought that the FCC would fine and regulate this company into oblivion after their unauthorized launch stunt. Looks like that didn't quite happen the way I expected. https://spacenews.com/swarm-

The MV3/UBO issues are not really at all related to this ticket or GUI. The thing people take issue with is the removal of a number of mechanisms for intercepting and blocking traffic that uBlock Origin uses. https://github.

The issue was closed for bypassing fingerprinting, a use case that the maintainers feel is not a valid precursor to this feature. Again, that isn’t a no to the feature under any circumstance, just a statement that this use case is insuffici

The issues mentioned are existing issues in Android devices today and for a few years that the iPhone has full parity with, so I think even if the new features are dropped the criticism stands.

Well run bug bounty programs have strict guidelines on what is and is not out of scope, and changes like this would certainly be out of scope (in fact, generally social engineering as part of the exploit chain is itself wholly out of scope)

You can also get shocked by rubbing your feet on carpet and touching a doorknob. Are those also unsafe? Should we be panicking about our house? You’ve jumped to a wild and accusatory conclusion.

I really couldn’t disagree with this more. Reproducibility is far more important than integrating unknown bug fixes, and upgrading dependencies should be a manual process during which you review the changes and verify that they don’t break

Section 230 only provides more legal shield, not less. The OP to which I responded did not name other, non-DMCA legislation. A much stronger statement would be defending their right not to do it and then, crucially, not doing it.
