X wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history
  • ..how are they even planning on collecting this data? If they could see fingerprint data this'd be a massive vulnerability in ios & android.

  • ISPs Should Not Police Online Speech—No Matter How Awful It Is.
  • If people could be owed profit just for creating things, I could go around town singing my original music to people passing by and then forcing them to pay for listening to it.

    The difference being, those people didn't ask for your music, but you needed that software, otherwise you wouldn't use it.

    and neither does intellectual property, it’s a myth, a fable, a fabrication that is enforced by powerful corpos in order to forcefully extract undeserved profits from a market of artificial scarcity that they created in the first place.

    Lol, so basically confirming my last paragraph then, "doesn't actually exist" because its digital, what a take.

  • You are absolutely correct, we should not have law enforcement at all, just ask the people to arrest themselves when committing a crime, i'm sure that'll go tremendously!

    I’ll go back to my construction analogy

    I think that's a bad analogy, isp's and dns providers have the ability to control mass amounts of traffic, enforcing site blocks at isp and dns level would be the most feasible way to do this. They're also likely much more capable of moderating the internet than small websites which don't have time to do so.

  • Who else do you expect to enforce site blocks?

  • I don't know what fantasy land the eff is living in, but as great as freedom of speech is, there has to be SOME level of censorship involved in the modern internet, otherwise it would be hell. It's simply not feasible to run the internet unmoderated..

  • Bots Are Better than Humans at Solving CAPTCHAs
  • Yeah that one's impossible lmao, i am 100% certain i am typing the correct thing and it just gives me a new captcha...

    You should also try the rockstar games dice add up captcha, i've found dozens of posts about people complaining about it over the years, and they still haven't fixed it. The issue isn't that people can't add up either (though it is a pita to do this 5 times), it's that it's not humanely feasible to do it in the timespan they require, as soon as you get to the 5th one, it gives you 5 fucking more because you were too slow, and does this infinitely.

  • As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch
  • It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.

    Whether its lemmy or mastodon, or kbin that grows, we're all benefiting. That's the beauty of federation.

  • Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to websites he dislikes
  • When you think they couldn't get more scummy.. they strike again. It's as if musk is actively trying to turn his platform to shit.

  • Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year
  • I mean.. it already does support desktop addons so I'm not exactly sure what's new here. It looks like this just fixes android killing background processes due to battery saving, but you can always just disable battery optimisation for firefox, or put it in "never sleeping apps", though granted even without doing this i've never experienced problems.

  • Stop using Brave Browser
  • Are they ocsp errors? You can disable ocsp hard fail in settings > librewolf settings

  • Stop using Brave Browser
  • Well that's a bit of an extreme example.. and I don't know who that person specifically is, but generally: yes, i would be fine with using a vase or software made by him. Why shouldn't I be? However I'd uncomfortable with music or film's acted by him.
