Details like the fact that people can have differing opinions and perspectives, and should not speak in absolutes?

Unfortunately I have found it to be one of the highest concentrations of higher-IQ discussions on the Internet wrt broad ranges of topics, at least historically.

Very misleading writing style IMO. I would say most of their bullet points ARE actually true in most cases… they just keep bringing up somewhat rare/exotic exceptions as a way to call it a “falsehood”.

Even if Section 230 didn’t require providers to terminate the user’s service, providers further upstream could technically punish that ISP for breaking their own ToS depending on what it is.

People like Liz Fong-Jones and Keffals have successfully lobbied multiple Tier 1 ISPs to blackhole websites that have posted information about them that they didn’t like based on this fact, behavior which the EFF has specifically called out as a threat to the free and open Internet. Even the CEO of Cloudflare has openly admitted to being personally involved in blocking sites without a really good reason.

Care to explain?

I think you’re incorrectly assuming that everyone knows they all do it. I see nothing wrong with raising awareness.

What would you have preferred? “Most apps sell your data, news at 11”? Would anyone care if it was written like that?

Thanks. You’re not wrong, and I appreciate the well-written response. Some might say you are defending/advocating proprietary software with this stance, but I don’t think there is a clear answer either way that applies to every circumstance.

This article is about the app, which does not run the model locally. Why would you doubt that a Chinese app which openly claims they send your data to China, actually does so?

Contains proprietary code. I recommend Molly-FOSS instead.

Yikes. Thanks for the info.

Depends on your perspective I suppose. One good reason might be that it means more hardware is supported. A bad one might be that it increases the overall attack surface from a security point of view.

illegal in the EU*

When I first read the title I thought it was some clickbait claiming that US cloud providers themselves would all be found to be illegal and cease to exist at all, which is of course, preposterous. Some clarification in the title would have helped.

I would hope the difference is that the f-droid version does not contain any proprietary code.

• they will know you have such program on your computer

• it is capable of deniable encryption

• most people use it for this exact reason

• the file size of the container will not match the size of the contents of your ‘safe’ volume

I think a reasonable person/court/judge/police/etc. would conclude that you are most likely still hiding something given all that.

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make

Yes I don’t understand the point of misskey either. It just seems to be a Japanese clone of mastodon with a small, differing interpretation of some parts of ActivityPub.

the best version is always the default for me on yt-dlp, that and --embed-subs has always worked perfectly for me, weird you’ve had issues with it, this is the first I’ve heard of anyone having that problem.

You didn’t have cameras?

To be fair, it is possible to have all of those problems and still not have ADHD.
