Chrome isn’t open source?

These have existed before the term “chiplet”.

Don’t get me wrong, I dont think it’s right to forbid people from collaborating in an open environment just because of what their government does, and frankly the arguments that the normal people should be punished because of their government are stupid, but it’s just, not racism.

Russians are majority white but ok

archive.org could archive the content and only publish it if the page has been dark for a certain amount of time.

It’s user-driven. Nothing would get archived in this case. And what if the content changes but the page remains up? What then? Fairly sure this is why Wikipedia uses archives.

I agree that many sites use advertising in a different way. I use it in the older internet sense – someone contacts me to sponsor a page or portion of the site, and that page gets a single banner, created in-house, with no tracking. I’ve been using the internet for 36 years. I’m well aware of many uses that I view as unethical, and I take great pains not to replicate them on my own site.

Pretty sure mainstream ad blockers won’t block a custom in-house banner. And if it has no tracking, then it doesn’t matter whether it’s on Archive or not, you’re getting paid the same, no?

Wah wah wah, my stuff’s been preserved and I dont like it.

Not to mention that I lose control over what’s done with that content – are they going to let Google train AI on it with their new partnership?

Lmao you think Google needs to go through Archive to scrape your site? Delusional.

Not to mention that I’m losing advertising revenue if someone views the site in an archive.

The mechanisms used to serve ads over the internet nowadays are nasty in a privacy sense, and a psychological manipulation sense. And you want people to be affected by them just to line your pockets? Are you also opposed to ad blockers by any chance?

I have fewer problems with archiving if the original site is gone, but to mirror and republish active content with no supported way to prevent it short of legal action is ridiculous.

And how do you suggest a site which has been wiped off the face of the internet gets archived? Maybe we need to invest in a time machine for the Internet Archive?

Sites like Wikipedia were archiving urls and then linking to the archive, effectively removing branding and blocking user engagement.

What do you mean by “engagement”, exactly? Clicking on ads?

This is disgusting.

It would have been easier to just remove these restrictions for everyone.

Yep, also basically stole from the UK taxpayer by convincing Oxford University to not open source their publicly funded vaccine and instead sell the rights to AstraZenica.

All sorts of countries could have produced this vaccine themselves until Bill Gates got involved.

Gates was always a dirtbag.

He is one of the main reasons proprietary software is so prevalent and predatory nowadays.

“Shut up SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!1!1!”

Oh, not the “we fund you” narrative again. 🙄

The US military spent a lot in Europe, yet when Ukraine was first invaded this proved to be completely and utterly useless.

No, I was talking about software issues.

And if you know that both non-self-driving cars and self-driving cars are both equally prone to mechanical issues, why bring it up as a counterpoint?

Self-driving cars are no less prone to mechanical failures.

I don’t know about your city, but I trust technology a lot more than the average driver.

I don’t. Technology can be subject to glitches, bugs, hacking, deciding to plow right through pedestrians (hello Tesla!), etc.

While the case can be made that human drivers are worse at reaction time and paying attention, at least a “dumb” car can’t be hacked, won’t be driven off the road due to a bug, won’t try to knock people over itself without stopping, etc.

A human, when they catch these things happening, can correct them (even if it is caused by them). But if a computer develops a fatal fault like that, or is hijacked, it cannot.

EDIT: It seems like this community is full of AI techbro yes-men. Any criticism or critical analysis of their ideas seems to be met with downvotes, but I’ve yet to get a reply justifying how what I said is wrong.

In a before-first-unlock state they absolutely are bruteforcing, since the filesystem is encrypted. The exploits are for bypassing the retry limit in that case.

And the manufacturers don’t have your encryption keys. They’re unique.

Use a long password and you’ll be immune from their before first unlock brute force.

Passcodes are trivial to break.

Should have the right to know what happening to their children. Schools shouldn’t be hiding anything from the parents.

I hate to break it to you, but if a child tells the school before they tell their own damn parents, there’s a reason for that.

Switzerland isn’t in the EU

You’re not gonna get anything requiring Ring 0 access (like Vanguard) running on Linux anytime soon.

Good. Kernel mode anticheat is fucking malware. Anticheat for a game should never have the same power over the system as a driver, which needs those privileges to communicate with hardware.
