A yes, like the freedom to buy a Windows licence to run basic software, or the freedom to have a TV that updates to include unremovable banner ads. The freedom to give all your freedom away, so essential for innovation. /s

You’re argument is basically that you should have the right to to ruin yourself. Look, that normally has merit, because people know what’s best for them. But, I think it’s pretty clear that when it comes to tech people don’t know what’s best for them.

Meanwhile, within TikTok, it’s pretty clear that censorship is openly endorsed. You can’t even say “gun” on TikTok, and god knows how much user information they have to “play around” with.

Except the Americans, maybe. To them, that Israel is an honest actor is an (often literal) article of faith.

Edit: Wrong thread.

The WMF highlights concerns about looting and damage to artefacts from Apollo missions, such as Neil Armstrong’s footprints and objects left on the moon.

This specifically is a valid concern.

Hmm, that’s an awful lot of material to move the one way. I’d actually expect a lot of what’s built on the moon will get shipped further outward.

Right now, it’s moving a couple of centimeters away from Earth every year, so a bit of that would actually be a good thing. And depending on how they’re getting it off the surface, the effect on the orbit might be something very different.

Does he get a choice? Didn’t they jail him?

You know, even if it’s the exact same shit, I’ll take it. Just feeding Ukraine to Russia was on the table.

Every once in a while I hear boomers waxing poetic about the wholesome days of old nudie mags.

Well, I happen know the boomer’s own parents were plenty outraged by them, actually. And, have you ever read one of those? The copy is pretty damn disrespectful about the women appearing therein, as were the men running the show.

And you think Xiaohongshu is run by the Chinese workers? Lol no. This is idiots digging themselves deeper into an even more walled garden.

An actual FOSS platform like the one we’re on would get banned over there very quickly.

Remember when the youth hated censorship and overreach from the man? I 'member.

C’mon, what do we have to do to stop zoomers from bending right over.

Yeah, I saw that coming.

I have every reason to think the wealthy will not bear the brunt of this. It’s going to be the working poor turning into the dying poor.

Most people like having things. Degrowth for it’s own sake wasn’t ever going to get traction.

What’s a good non-EU alternative, if it gets to that point?

Yeah, it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, although still alarming.

The last one is absolutely unacceptable. They have to draw the line somewhere. /s

Jesus fucking Christ.

It’s so rife for abuse I’m not sure I’d even say “good”. Effective, maybe?

This is everyone I know who actually has to keep up their SnapChat streak.

I guess because they’ve never seen the developers IRL, it doesn’t seem like the completely self-serving suggestion it is.

On the contrary, fundamental physics has been completely static for half a century. That doesn’t really have much to do with your main point, though.

I mean, you’re right in statistics, and statistics comes up constantly, but there’s no way to directly prove there’s only 100 prime numbers, for example. In number theory, there’s absolute truths, and a correct proof will inevitably align with them.
