I don't entirely disagree, but I think defining much of that in effective legal terms is going to be virtually impossible. And I'm super-wary of anything that says someone can't link to something.

Just be careful how you do it. The First Amendment gives a lot of leeway for people to be shitty.

I need to sync my passkeys between all my devices--which really means I need keepass to store the private keys in its DB so I can sync it with all the other keepass-compatible apps I use in various places. Last I looked, this wasn't solved, but it's been a minute. I'm certainly not using a centralized password manager unless they all can freely import and export from one another. I understand this is a "being worked on" problem.

So someday, yes.

If you get my master keepass password, you have all my passwords, too.

I agree they should. But I also agree they shouldn't be required to. And if they don't, that we should just live with it as the lesser of two evils.

A) I don't think there's anything illegal, here, and B) of course large private agencies manipulate elections, from news agencies to SuperPACs to social media, and C) there's not a heck of a lot we can do about that.

The best thing we can do is smarten up and think for ourselves. In short, we're doomed!😅

Hmm. I have a bumper sticker that says "I ❤️ Nuclear War". I wonder what bucket that puts me in.

I remember it being a big space sink when I was editing video. Now all I have is DVD rips of my collection and those are nice and compact.

Oh, man, I'd forgotten about this game! Used to play it on the C64!

Yup. I signed up to their unlimited a while ago, so I was happy to not notice this at all. 🙂👍

I can't believe how much mileage I've gotten out of my 512GB SSDs on my laptops. And my "big" backup disks are hand me down 1TB HDs my friend didn't need. I don't do video, though.

People 100% aren’t going to pay to access every random website they want to visit. So what you’d end up with in a world without ads is only the big corporations being able to run a website.

I'm not so convinced. I run a website with zero ads or tracking and I'm not a big corporation.

I've been sticking with FF proper since it has the sync stuff that's easily used. But it sounds like it's about time to set up a sync server and run a FF fork.

My parents are in their 80s and this crap will push them to Linux.

I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It's been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I'm added value.

Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.

Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won't take many of us to get to $175/mo.

I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won't give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they'd ever see from me from ads. And I've spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.

It should never be illegal to link to infringing content in the US. First Amendment should apply if they have any sense.
