Either way, Trump is a pedophile who is close friends with several other pedophiles. That’s the important part.

Didn’t think so.

Do you know the difference between “says” and “asks”?

Are you having a seizure?

Now you’re just repeating your idiocy. Are you a politician?

There you go again, not thinking before commenting. It just makes you say stupid things.

You should consider thinking about what people say before responding. It will probably lead to improved understanding and more relevant replies on your part.

And several of them are here ITT saying that the browser is sketchy.

The company was founded and is headed by a homophobic anti-vaxxer. Plus, the browser is not secure and has been involved in several controversies in the oast for things like selling user data and running a crypto scam.

Censorship is bad, but Facebook and X’s entire business models revolve around spreading content that is at once false and inflammatory, either just to create engagement or for more malicious purposes, and they reach a huge portion of the population directly, including children, teenagers, the mentally ill and other vulnerable populations. This requires a new understanding of accountability for spreading information.

I wouldn’t agree that it makes sense to hold a Mastodon instance responsible for what its users post, because they don’t have a financial incentive or the ability to promote misinformation at a massive scale. Twitter does. As Aristotle said, we must treat equals equally, and treat the unequal unequally according to the form and extent of their inequality.

These are all valid points but they don’t preclude the existence of an open-source alternative to MBFC, which is what the commenter you replied to was asking.

Thank you, dear madam or sir!

If they call it a “sale” rather than a “licensing” then I consider myself entitled to remove the DRM (which I do to all my Kindle ebooks, for example) or to download a cracked copy for archiving (which I do to some games I wish to keep, if I haven’t bought them on GOG or another DRM-free platform). Common sense and ethics dictate that I am in my right to do this.

If companies are relying on a technicality - an obscure one to the general public, even though techies have been aware of this issue for over a decade - to hoodwink people and charge actual-purchase prices for mere licensing, then I am relying on the implicit tenets of morality, good faith and common sense to bypass their malicious and bad faith distortions. Artificial scarcity be fucked, I paid what they claim is a fair price for what they claim is the purchase of a digital good, so I shall treat it with Animus Domini just as I do with any physical purchase. This includes lending to others as per the First Sale doctrine.

The fact that the seller consciously chose to contradict themselves, calling it a purchase out in the open and a licensing deal in the fine print, should it ever work to someone’s disadvantage, should obviously be to the disadvantage of the person who intentionally made the blunder, not to good faith third parties. This is a well-established principle of legal ethics and Civil Law which is adopted by legal scholars the world over. Whether or not they have failed to apply it to these specific cases is wholly irrelevant to its validity, and I apply it to my own dealings with a perfectly clear conscience.

I legally purchase all my media, and I will use any and all means necessary to protect my good faith acquisitions, including those which are incontroversially illegal for those who have not purchased that piece of media, such as downloading cracked software, because this is simply done to remedy an inexcusable omission on the part of those who claim to have sold me a copy of that software but don’t provide me with the possibility to archive my copy locally. So long as these transactions are referred to openly as purchases, sales, etc. I shall continue to act in this way to enforce their overt nature over the malicious mischaracterization contained in their licensing.

In other words, slimeballs, have the guts to call it licensing and renting. Until you do, I and many like me will continue to make your lies come true and there is realistically nothing you can do to stop us.

I don’t use the feature, so I’m not aware if it’s supported.

Why tf are you using GOG Galaxy under Bottles when Lutris is better than Bottles in every single way and integrates directly with your GOG account, meaning you don’t need GOG Galaxy at all? This is like pulling the handbrake on your car and pushing it uphill instead of turning it on and driving it, in terms of how needlessly difficult you’re making things for yourself.

+1 for Syncthing

Termux has been a thing for years.

Thanks.

Vertical tabs? I’ve been using an extension for that so I didn’t even notice. Is that already on the main release or still on the nightlies?

Sorry for asking here but a DDG search just turns out a bunch of pages telling you how to get them with extensions, which I already do.

privacy these days is really hard to achieve

Which is exactly why claims like this should be backed with evidence.
