- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:
I doubt that would be the reason for their ban. If it is a creative work then in some countries it’s automatically copyrighted, but it’s not like most would go out of their way to stop it (unlike with like people reacting to other YouTube videos, films, anime, etc).
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:
What type of reaction content? If it wasn’t using the minimum amount of copyrighted material needed to comment or being transformative, and was distributing the majority of a work, then at any point a DMCA will nuke em. Google might not think it’s worth the risk hosting that reaction content forever.
- Comment on Annoyed Redditors tanking Google Search results illustrates perils of AI scrapers | "Spreading misinformation suddenly becomes a noble goal," Redditor says. 3 weeks ago:
Relying on info gathered from the copying of info without asking is also selfish.
No I don’t think users “agreed to it” because page 165 of 245 of legalese says Reddit owns the posts. If anyone reading does then why not complain about Reddit, not the users.

People can only talk on platforms they’re not banned on. If you want to avoid YouTube for other reasons then sadly you have to cope with that sort of thing.
- Comment on This researcher wants to replace your brain, little by little. The US government just hired a researcher who thinks we can beat aging with fresh cloned bodies and brain updates. 1 month ago:
Some sleep is conscious (dreaming) but they’re easily forgotten. Perhaps being unconscious still always has a grain of consciousness (but is just forgotten).
It seems there is a line of reduced experience while sleeping, while copying seems to imply it’s always a clone (a different ego, a different person).

- Comment on A court blocks a couple from suing Uber over a crash, citing terms and conditions 1 month ago:
Preventing others from bringing you to justice via lawsuits implies to me they intend to do something illegal to them.
You could be charitable and say arbitration is a cost saving mechanism for lawsuits you successfully defend yourself from (the loser doesn’t pay your legal fees in some countries).
- Comment on A court blocks a couple from suing Uber over a crash, citing terms and conditions 1 month ago:
We promise we won’t do anything illegal and worth suing us over, so just waive your right to sue us!
This is a massive oversight in a country’s code of law.

Suppose those specifications designed with the CPU maker’s profits in mind. Maybe motherboard manufacturers lose perks if they misbehave beyond just specifications.
Heck, even GPU makers have managed to make motherboard makers their bitch in the past: licensing chips to support their multi-GPU tech.

I’m not so sure it’s actually okay for manufactures to say using aftermarket parts voids the warranty - they need to prove it’s actually your fault the device is broken (America’s Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act). If you’ve seen those little stickers over screws that say “warranty void if removed” - those are actually illegal (in America).

You focus on an incompetent grandson hypothetical but it’s not as if the 1st party repair is immune from hiring people who can make negligent mistakes, or even take malicious acts. If it’s difficult to replace a seal on a mask then perhaps it’s a CRAP design.
Companies will preach safety when lobbying against right to repair then when the mask is forced to berecalled for sound/vibration dampening material entering people’s lung they will kick and scream.
Safety is not my main goal, freedom to do what you want with what you paid for is.

The FDA found there isn’t evidence that 3rd party repair is is any less safe than 1st party repair.
If one part needs to be replaced and the company who owns the patients/copyright tells the manufacturer to not sell it to others then the patient cost is needlessly a whole new machine. How many lives would be saved by lowering cost of getting medical equipment working?
- Comment on Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton 1 month ago:
- A person doesn’t need to study medicine or own surgical equipment to get their body repaired. Same logic applies for the repairing of their medical devices. Right to repair does mean you have to personally repair it.
2+3. I don’t think that’s a real concern. Presumably you’re already in contact with others to share information. Learn to share and learn from others in a more open community.

When a defibrillator implant incorrectly shocks a pregnant women as an edge case she has to take meds to slow her heart so it doesn’t shock her. Doctors never think of the software running on it, and can’t get the code because it’s proprietary. People would be able to fix it, perhaps without even removing it, but can’t because business. www.youtube.com/watch?v=easb_6LCFDI

Thanks for the history and technical explanation. I didn’t mean to imply that was the origin (for computing) and was only talking about a specific usage of the word.
I think most people say it to refer to manufacture imposed limits but I wanted to broad that idea. Using proprietary software is like being in a jail because your software freedoms are denied.
- Comment on Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton 1 month ago:
In the medical field when a device can only be repaired by the manufacturer then you can expect long wait times, bad repair jobs and having your own equipment destroyed for “safety”.
We let people repair their own car’s brake pads… we shouldn’t give up ownership rights for a unwarranted claim to safety. If something is potentially dangerous then making it more difficult to repair is a bad idea.
- Comment on Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton 1 month ago:
The manufacture should have zero say if their product gets repaired or not. The only person who can give permission to repair it is the owner. It should be illegal to implement tying to lockout perfectly parts being used as a replacement. Right to repair
They call it jailbreak because this is an issue of freedom: software freedom
