Elevators don’t cause a pressure differential within your body.

And if you don’t want spyware on your machine you use AdGuardHome or PiHole

They’re already monitoring us in our homes. What do you think Alexa was for? Why do you think every smart appliance connects to the cloud instead of a local hub now?

Notifications go through FireBase Cloud Messaging (FCM) on Android. They bounce off a Google server. Even from local, on-device apps.

Same with iOS.

They can read and store every one of them, and you don’t control the encryption keys.

No, it’s incompetence to have the hubris to do this on purpose.

I dunno that “they’re open about it” makes it any better

“…they’re made out of meat.”

Smart features aren’t what make appliances break. Give me a fridge and a washer with Matter/Thread for local sensor readings from HomeAssistant and a compressor/motor that doesn’t die after 3 years and I’ll give you the $3k for a fridge that you demand

Doesn’t piefed automatically change “th” into whatever the fuck that is? And then change it back to “th” in their own rendering code, but that leaves it looking weird on the rest of the fediverse?

Piefed seems kinda sus

OpenAI looking for their own Bari Weiss

If you intentionally misinterpret it like you are trying to lawyer some cracks in the story, then yeah it does.

Seems pretty clear to me from the “…primary flight systems will run on specialized radiation-hardened hardware and rigorously maintained software” that they’re separate systems.

You’ve never owned software in your life. Everything you’ve ever purchased is a license to use software. Even when you had physical media. Even when you own a disc or a cartridge.

Even FOSS.

If a company wanted to revoke it, it would be illegal for you to use that physical media. Enforcing it would be pretty unrealistic, but they could sue you for copyright infringement if they revoked your license and then found out you used it anyway.

Turns out it was copyright infringement! Who knew? /s

A relic of a better time

I mean, in my headcannon this feels true, but it’s probably only because of a few loud users in comment threads I’ve come across; I can’t really speak for the instance as a whole and it’s probably not the case.

feddit.org on the other hand…

No, but if you own $4billion in stocks and you borrow against it to live off of then you’ve realized that value and you get taxed heavily on it.

The idea is to get them to stop doing the “unlimited money glitch” of doing this.

Trademarks I think are the most commonplace for this to happen, but I believe it applies to all IP. I don’t believe that any laws are written with specific timeframes but if the court feels that a right holder knew about and didn’t take action against an infringer within a “reasonable” time (as to be determined by the count based on the circumstances surrounding the case), then an implicit license is inferred.

If this was not done, it would encourage right holders to wait out infringement in order to achieve larger settlements.

Oh, I’m not saying this to defend Dolby’s actions, IMHO and IANAL but this feels like a “see if this shit sticks” type of deal.

Maybe this is something specific that Snapchat’s implementation does and isn’t directly related to AV1 and the headline is clickbait? Hard for me to know.

I just wanted to point out that AV1’s consortium doesn’t seem to be rugpulling as some other commenters on here seem to feel.

They should all be destroyed
