The same right the EU has to enforce standards in money, electrical plugs, data protection or food safety. Does your country not have laws on what products can and cannot be sold within its borders?

Firefox + uBlockOrigin

Imagine running an OS that doesn't even respect you. I use Arch btw.

Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.

My previous card was suddenly locked but this one should work.

No, there is a random crash every six hours now to increase familiarity.

I'd gladly run a relay, but an exit on my home ISP? I don't want to go to jail, no thank you: https://husovec.eu/2014/07/austrian-court-sentenced-tor-exit-node-html/

Only applies if you won enough already.

I don't care what their executives earn, but if those companies paid their taxes and stopped interfering with unionization efforts that would be nice.

Recently Android added another scary "malicious" warning to the already numerous scary dialogs if one tries to install F-Droid. The "Install anyways" button also became hidden in the "More details" menu.

"I did a ride the other day, and she said she paid $102 for a 40-minute ride. I got $25, and that’s because I had a $5 bonus!" said Lyft driver Debora Williams. "It’s just ridiculous."

Come on, cut out the middle man. They're providing nothing of that value.

Yeah, but they only could provide that by burning a LOT of money in order to gain a monopoly and then squeeze everyone dry. Uber has always been a venture capital sham: https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/11/bezzlers-gonna-bezzle/

If it's not ActivityPub compatible I don't care anymore. Interoperability is a hard requirement at this point.

I don't use any any Google services for good reasons, but I wouldn't trust myself more not to lose my data than Google.

Yes, they should be legally required to open up access to their service. No more walled gardens that hold a large number of users hostage.

Thank you for your contribution.

feddit.uk seems to be online.

There should be an option to make posts instance-local for such things.

stock investors, accountants

Computers already replaced a lot of them long ago.

management, CEOs

What part of their jobs do you think an AI can replace?

For anyone who wonders, it's not the uint32 maximum.

You think it is rate limited?

Sync between devices. I only read RSS on one device so I don't need it either. Besides if you don't think a service is useful to you why do you host it?

Great. That means there is a natural demand for artists. If AI starts failing because it isn't fed enough art, the demand will rise.

I can fix her

I would be very careful with that. US should try having a more representative government first.

That lead pipes are still around is even funnier: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67585011

The most offensive thing here is the amount={5} attribute. What is it? It's not XML.

We should treat them like any other instance. If they are a good citizen of the Fediverse they stay, otherwise they will be blocked and nothing has changed.

It's a list of domains which provide temporary email addresses. The more interesting question is who uses them.

A duck.

Free locked down scooters that can't move.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

We have enough tankies already.

It was the first article about this subject with explained at least a little bit how MV3 will hurt ad blockers so it was still an interesting read.

I can't read Chinese, only Japanese, but I think it's asking for a name and the number of a personal ID which should have 18 digits.

If the instance defederates, users do not have an option to interact with the defederated instance anymore. The only choice you have then is to join an instance where the moderation policy agrees with your values or host your own instance. If you just want to see if defederation was the right idea, you could just visit those instances directly and look at their local timeline.

It only works if people stop using Mastodon once Threads stops federating. ActivityPub is dead they will say.

Suure. Almost never any seeders for Linux ISOs. Huge problem.

Settings > Default Font. (This is a serious answer for Firefox 120).

Imagine someone cares more about the color of their bubble than proper end-to-end encryption.
