A lot of things in USA benefit nobody but -big- corpos, it is kinda "by design". In many countries, if one gym is annoying and doing weird things, you move to another one the next month. But when all the gyms are owned by the same

Linux and Wordpress are competing in the "well-managed" open source community of the year reward. Before there were BCacheFS and "Rust for Linux" controversies this year.

- "most people agree that WP Engine should contribute more to WordPress" - ban them from the contributing. That is a special kind of logic. Also forking a plugin and replacing the original in the repo - that smells bad, even if it

Maybe they _should_ think before making code public - it is generally a good idea ;)

Too much for calling "a software foundation". That behaviour is damaging for the whole open source community.

"Pay for a temporary access" instead of "buy". For people who do not like "rent".

Also everything related to privatisation. Often, short-term gains (cash for the current government) results in later higher prices for customers. Basically, a lot of stuff in UK.

City could allocate dedicated areas for parking scooters with white line around it on the floor. Usually you can park 30 scooters in the area, used by a single car. Basically, Krakow implemented this. Parking areas are enforced in the Appli

J is the lightness channel and similar to other lightness formulas in other colorspaces for SDR lightness. I.e. usually idea is to take a lightness formula, and just arrange hues/chromas for each value of J. Yea, Jab instead of Lab in

Yeah, now I understand why old forums is easier to remove than moderate. Or put on read-only.

heh, TOR devs should probably not visit France. But probably "nobody cares until there is some political benifit".

ok, so if someone is hosting a public xmpp server or a forum, they should check their emails.

So, TOR is illegal?

Which means any board could be nuked with bots... Kinda reminds me how opposition media got nuked from VK using a similar tactics. Could probably used against hashtags on Twitter.

So basically all networking software uses cryptography... Yeah, with upcoming EU related changes for software, you need not only programmers, but layers too. Because pretty sure they would implement something similar and more.

Sounds like selectively enforceable laws. And we thought Russia was bad with that. If we provide an XMPP server on github, should we not allow users from France to use it? Or at which point it gets enforceable?

In practice it is very easy to deanon using social engineering. It is enough to open a shared link to expose your IP. A lot of people would click something like "Belorussian protestors got deanonized" or "10 ways to keep you

Funny, many news agencies blamed Microsoft for this. So, having a walled garden like on android or on iOS is beneficial for google/apple. Where regular developers cannot release unverified software or software which work at the kernel

some of them even have GPS. To prevent selling to sanctioned countries or reselling in general.

245M fine? so the price of two planes? Nice, it would really prevent the malicious behaviour in the future.

Devil advocate is that people cannot have more that one phone per person realistically. If every app would need a separate phone, that would be stupid. It is totally fine for a country to ask that if a company wants to sell their devices in

It is kinda obvious that Apple does not really want to comply with markets act, so deterrent is required here.

Apparently, Google has an issue with people. Nice tech, but trying to automate everything would hit you. Funny, the fiasco could've been avoided, if they would use QA from /b/ imageboard. Because generating Nazis is the first

Not necessarily, but most likely. If there is a way to make more profit, any company would try to do it. The moment service stops growing, aggressive monetisation kicks in. Otherwise, investors/shareholders would blame CEO for incompet

Reality is that facebook hit the jackpot of era of digitisation of social groups. Which means groups are online now, but also extremely radicalised (politically). Tiktok algo knows what stuff to show you and what stuff you will never ever s
