Would appreciate this kind of comment being labeled as by ChatGPT or whatever you used.

You got that via the legal "first sale doctrine" which has been killed for digital works.

No

My sarcastic comment was flagged but the point I was (poorly) trying to make is that this is an awesome extension but it goes against platforms' goals. If it gets popular the platforms will fight against it.

Reading too much slows down scrolling and ad views, you must keep scrolling. Also, trying to have meaningful conversations with others might lead to independent ideas or actions that are out of the control of the platform, all ideas or actions must benefit only the platform and its adverisers.

It's so much cheaper than tanks though, as long you can get a satellite connection. Which means Elon is ideally positioned to compete with nation states if he wants to. I mean more than he already is. Scary dude.

I think this kind of highlights the ios vs android user mentality. afavour is annoyed that google is trying to lock them into only using google's shopping list while you love when apple "just works" within their ecosystem.

I prefer giving a notice but then doing absolutely no work besides chitchatting with the people I liked and planning my goodbye party, while still collecting a paycheck.

I don't get it. The authenticity overreaction is weird to me. Like something immature youngsters would be concerned with.

How is he not flawed? He's under multiple indictments, has been impeached twice, and voters already rejected him once. Seriously flawed is about right.

What is the general cable news alternative with better journalism? I know of none.

For individual news shows I think the best are 60 Minutes and Frontline.

Sorry but I'm glad you aren't able to implement those features on the web.

They caved because they were afraid that without Netflix they would lose market share but then they lost market share anyways. In the alternate universe where they didn't cave users mounted a pressure campaign against Netflix for blocking Firefox and that got the FTC's attention and Netflix was the one that caved .

Wow they want to kill it. I wonder if we've just lived through the golden Napster era of LLMs.

This answer is unsatisfying to me because "not allowing trade with 3rd parties" could be seen as a version of "unreasonably restrained trade".

In general I think it's incorrect to try to divine a consistent legal principle from these two cases. Trials have an element of randomness so either case could have gone the other way under different judges and lawyers.

You're implying that less government should be the goal. I don't care about the size, i want better government.

Not sure what you're implying but in my mind getting rid of government unions would be priority #1.

Yes. I wish we'd move on from the tired more/less government debate and focused on better government. But neither party seems to care.

The law should be that if you end support for hardware you have to open source all its software including any services needed for it to run.

Be careful with engagement stats on Mastodon, only the origin server will show all the likes and boosts.

Some guy isn't just giving his opinion, "If memory serves" implies that he has knowledge of an unreleased EU government report but his credentials seem to be of an american or maybe uk corporate lawyer and barely a professor at an american university. No reason to believe he has privileged access to the report. Though there is reason to believe he's practiced in the arts of online propaganda wars.

Some guy's credentials have nothing to do with the lack of evidence provided.

I'm tired of all the gatekeeping by the health industry telling us that we need to use their absurd rube goldberg processes, which often tell us "no", to know anything about ourselves.

Why do a lot of tech companies give big severances? I don't think other industries do it. It's strangely generous.

That's not the same risk because 23andme also has name, address, email.

One risk if you have PII+genome is that a technically sophisticated entity can determine if you've physically been in a location. Also with an extensive PII+genome database they could find your family, for example for blackmail purposes.

Another risk is that a health insurance provider could deny you based on potential health issues they find in your genome.

Wow that is super hidden! They have a fake ToS to try to stop you from seeing the real one.

ipso facto, if the monopolist doesn't even let a market exist then by definition they're not abusing it.

How do the edited genes replace the body's genes?

The disappointing thing is that not a single Republican crossed over in the other direction. Strict ideological enforcement seems much stronger on the GOP side.
