- Comment on Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine 1 day ago:
Eh, if it’s an unfair law it has to be fought. And since we have seen in Trump’s world the courts are not the place for that, I can think of very few places to do it. Most of them can equip guillotines, tho.

Who even uploads porn to imgur? There’s far better hosts for that…
- Comment on Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine 2 days ago:
The law was announced a long time before it came into effect,
Isn’t one of the basic principles of law that laws can not be made retroactive so as to arbitrarily extract punishment? if someone tells me “we’ll implement this law in 2026” and they do commit, then I’m unconcerned until 2025-12-31.

Yeah! Believe it!

Nope, because the platform that bend the knee and suck the dee are granted an “exception”.

You want Trump be called to testify? What are you, a terrorist? /s

Or worse: voting for a woman!
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
They have no fuckign clue what to do. Nobody teaches you how to oppose a fascist dictatorship
France taught us well. Americans love their lumberjacks, you can make a lot of guillotines with that.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
More like -740 days.
- Comment on Uh Oh: Nintendo Just Landed A ‘Summoning’ And ‘Battling’ Patent 3 weeks ago:
People literally die of preventable diseases due to patents. I can’t find any news regarding the last time some nutjob died because they couldn’t torrent Sham’alyan’s Avatar movie.

Indeed, you are quite the good shot!

After Firefox, by definition.

Same shit, different spicing.

You sly dog! You got me to read your post four times before I noticed!

In the end, he did get one vaccine shot.
The anti-life one.
More people like him should get their shots. Hey, it’s a matter of public health!
- Comment on Nepal bans social media(Facebook, X, Reddit, Mastodon, Discord, Signal, YouTube and more) for failing to register with the government; Only 7 to be open(Viber, TikTok, Telegram and more) 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but all that crap you mention is for corporations, for agencies that extract value from a country thus the country wants to see some compensation for it. To my knowledge, I don’t need no stinkin’ legal office representation in a country if all I want is to exchange messages with someone there. That’s what eg.: snail mail services are for. Otherwise it would literally kill the economical feasibility of any such kind of service (yeah, I know, that’s the point).
What they’re demanding, mostly, is that they have a known human being who will cooperate with the government
Cooperate, or “cooperate”? Important distinction, in particular for small platforms.
If you have a company operating in a nation, that nation
See, half the entire point of the Fediverse is that it’s not a company - heck, it’s not even many companies! This is all about people using “snail mail BUT ON THE INTERNET” to speak to each other.

Assocks. They don’t need (backend-level) access to the platform in order to fight that. They just have to do good, boots-on-the-ground detective work. In other words, earn their salaries. We don’t precime-inalize silverware companies because people may use kitchen knives to kill each other.

assuming they have physical servers in their place.
Nope, in that particular case they just have to hand over a strongly worded letter (and a small bribe) to the ISP.

- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 weeks ago:
Not a new one. The solution to capitalism was posted long ago. We just need to admit it.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 weeks ago:
There are not going to be apps on Linux phones. Definitely not banking apps.
Not with that attitude!
Get either your political ass to demand that in your country banks support more than just two OSes, or your coding ass so that you can get into programming work pipeline and one day code the Flatpak for your bank. Either would benefit you and everyone else.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 weeks ago:
Where are all the open source phone OSes? Where are the OS agnostic capable hardware phones?
In the “waiting for funding” room.
If people don’t care enough to finance projects like Fairphone, etc… while they are still in the growing pains, then those projects will never be able to last during a digital consumer war, let alone provide a product that has enough mass appeal that it makes sense to build and commercialize on auto.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 weeks ago:
99% of those contracts are not enforceable. And I bought my phone used. No paper, no contract.
- Comment on Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys. 1 month ago:
As neofascism is going worldwide, chances are if I have to run from the law it’s going to be because I read a book! XD
But yeah, totes doing that likely this Friday, since I’ll be around the place anyway.
- Comment on AnTeRiOr ViEw 👌 1 month ago:
Cross post this to something like /c/TheyKnew if it exists somewhere!
- Comment on Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys. 1 month ago:
I made once the dumb mistake of getting my library card right before moving to another city, and never ever checked if it’s valid or repurposable since (three years now).
Well, time to fix that!
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 2 months ago:
Those people (Mastercard et al) do not listen to people, they listen to money.
Show them guillotines and molotovs so they understand they might not live to use their money, and they’ll pay (regardless of if you pardon my pun) attention.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 2 months ago:
I’m feeling patriotic enough to burn US flags and I’m not even from the US!
- Comment on lemm.ee partially dead 2 months ago:
Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It’s pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.
Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.
