Admin of lemmy.name, he/him
I don’t think this take is accurate at all. Her actions in that thread appear (to me) entirely as a result of her environment, and honestly there is no basis for the idea she is not of sound mind. The victim blaming is really offputting.
If they’re true, it’s more than likely this kind of abuse was happening throughout the organization and continued up until these allegations, so I’m glad she came out with them.
The definition of a “reply guy” in these comments seems to just make it a rebranding of the word we’ve used for them forever, trolls. Y’all are free to block trolls on most platforms.
Anyone who doesn’t want genuine replies or advice can simply avoid posting in a public forum. That has been how it is since the inception of the internet and how it will continue to be.
tl;dr: Customer Content encompasses all data originating from your machine sent to Zoom servers.
It never is by default. In fact, they got in a bit of a fiasco early on (before their current E2EE implementation) for using the term “end to end encrypted” after it was revealed they were simply referring to TLS.
It’s worth noting that KaiOS, a fork of Firefox OS, has been successful - particularly in developing markets.
You’re correct, I mistakenly copied the wrong section. (Posted this from my phone)
Fixed!
We’ve already seen this play out in several countries where web blocking is widely implemented (eg Russia, China.) People (generally) flock to state-endorsed alternatives rather than going through the effort of finding bypasses.
(As an aside, Chrome would probably comply with it. It’d be a lot more damaging for them than smaller browsers to block the entirety of France.)
Do you genuinely believe an average computer user, when presented with a block page, would attempt to circumvent it?
Maybe a small minority would, but overall I find it extremely unlikely. It takes a lot less effort to just download an alternative.
Theoretically yes, but I’d think that would just result in users switching to browsers which do comply with the law (Chrome, probably)
This does not prove your point. You said “most countries”, not “countries I arbitrarily deem to be important.”
The bill still leaves enforcement of specific content up to the platforms… so it seems they’re implying their own posts on these topics would be generally considered misinformation? I respect the honesty lol
Congrats, ya’ll! 🥳
https://fedipact.online/ is a list of instances that have pledged to preemptively block Threads. Includes my own instance (lemmy.name) among many others.
I run my own instance and am defederating immediately (whenever they start federating). I did also join the pact.
I’ll evaluate their impact a month or so in and decide whether or not to refederate.
I acknowledge there’s potential for a positive impact here, so I will give them a chance.
Connect is easily the most feature-complete app I’ve found for Android at the moment, loving it here too
That’s immensely useful, thanks! Running it on my own public 1.18.1 instance with no issues.
I personally host my own instance, from which I interact with communities on many other instances.
This ensures my Lemmy account can’t just be decimated because my admin decided to stop maintaining their instance and I avoid defederation of content I’m interested in (including the infighting among larger instances.)
I find it interesting that even the conservancy can’t really say whether or not it’s OK legally definitively. Here’s hoping someone still takes them to court over this, wins, and sets precedence that it’s a violation of the GPL (extremely unlikely, but a guy can dream)
I remember people talking about potential scenarios very similar to this when Red Hat was acquired. They were right.
We clearly have a disconnect here. There’s a reason I always put a quote to act as summary in the description of my article posts, they provide more detail than the title could. At the end of the day, I think providing the original title regardless of its perceived quality is the better option when these posts are glorified links anyways. (I assure you it was not from AI, The Register has pretty high journalistic standards.)
Read the thread in full, it’s much worse than The Verge makes it out to be - that was actually one of my contentions with this article when posting.
