You're telling authors to take away freedoms of its own users now, to prevent a potential bogeyman from taking away freedoms of other users in the future.

You can use permissively licensed code now and forever, because that can't be taken away once released. You're refusing to use it now on the off chance that in the future, someone modifies that code to do something else and give it to other users without the code. Your initial use still hasn't changed, and your right to use that initial code hasn't changed. You are not a user of the new, modified code, so your rights have not been impacted whatsoever.

You get free software with few restrictions on what you're allowed to do with it. In what way is that "respecting" you less than similar software with more restrictions on what you can do with it? How does someone forcing more control over your actions in any way "respect" you more?

I've had someone tell me they visited a shopping site once and without giving the company any information, they got an e-mail from that company a day later. I told them it wasn't really possible (from just the browser's perspective) and that they must have been tracked through some 3rd party cookies.

Apparently that was false and it's totally possible for a site to use one of these APIs and instantly get your full name, phone number, e-mail address, and physical address just by looking up your IP, and then track you across "switching carriers, changing phone numbers, upgrading devices, and replacing lost devices". Scary shit.

As the season goes on, you can see a clear decline in the mental health of many of the contestants. Many drop out just out of sheer boredom or loneliness, even though they have decent shelter and can find food. The winners usually last about 2-3 months alone.

Did you really think every server running OpenBSD requires someone to hit enter on the console to boot it?

Plaid was fine with creating a developer account for just a few bank accounts, they didn't have any minimum or anything.

You can also push notifications to your device in an end-to-end encrypted manner. iOS 10 supports notification extensions so your private app extension can receive the encrypted payload, decrypt it, and then present a normal notification.

Water is a finite, possibly scarce resource, and there are shortages in places in the US. If I lived in one of those places, I would sure as hell want some asshole filling his pool during a shortage to pay more than the rest of us pay for basic drinking water. Similarly, I would want companies that bottle that water up and sell it at a premium to pay more than everyone else.

Municipalities already limit outdoor water usage for exactly this reason. You can drink all the water you want but you can only use it outside to water your grass or fill your pool on odd or even days. Your analogy is saying that shouldn't be allowed, because internet.

Obviously C code running in a kernel is "more complex" than a Python script.

I was talking about how users would actually use this p0f BPF tool. Compare this:

    ./bpfgen p0f -- 4:64:0:*:mss*10,6:mss,sok,ts,nop,ws:df,id+:0
    sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m bpf --bytecode "39,0 0 0 0,48 0 0 8,37 [...]"

    block in proto tcp from any os Windows

It's at least worth a shot to see what they have to say about it...
