That is absolutely massive for a browser. Like multiple orders of magnitude too big. Like what are we even doing

And I don’t care if everyone is doing it, it’s still too big!

I find the fact you’ve learned to speak clickbait concerning

At least finish reading the damn summary

The state is also requesting that the judge force a series of design changes to Meta’s platforms aimed at improving child safety, including universal age verification, de-encryption of children’s messages

Does this not sound familiar to you?

In fairness, neither do Democrats. Or at least they’re not releasing the report

Where did doctrine that come from? I’m not sure where you’re getting it. Kinda sounds made the fuck up

You can absolutely criticize the pope as a Catholic. What you can’t do is attempt to supercede him on matters of faith

Which, you know, we’ve got people doing that already, no need to make shit up

Meant by who? The pope?

What happens when the people no longer fear the regime?

They lose their power. It’s that simple. They’ll continue to break the government until we get them out of office, but their emails will be ignored because they can’t administrate properly

Because the world Bank and IMF fucked them when they resisted selling off their country through outside investments, leading to their currency being debased and ultimately giving them weak footing for international trade

They’ve never really recovered from that, and they’ve also flitted back and forth between wildly different economic interventions desperately trying to fix things

Yeah, I think you have to try to make the world better, so that when you come back you have a better time

They’re house members. They’re generally not all that rich and powerful, they’re protected because they’re useful

They’ll be thrown in front of the mob the second a billionaire feels tight under the collar

I think it’s more that they see the writing on the wall… The people want consequences. There’s likely to be trials

If they wrapped that in the right spin it might just give Putin enough wiggle room to back down without losing his head

Yes?

Yeah. And what would be the best present to get each of them on a first date?

A domain is a url, like oaksprout.com. A provider is a server/computer that the domain points at. Many services sell both together at an upcharge, but a domain itself usually costs like ~$15 a year

If an IP address is a mailing address, imagine a domain as a way to pay the post office so people can just address it to oaksprout. You could have them forward your mail to your house, or you could send it to a PO box or business address, and change it whenever you want

The provider is like the mailbox in this metaphor… It receives the mail and holds it for you

I mean, you can sue pretty much anyone for anything, but fair… It is technically a ruling

It’s still just a policy though, which means it’s easy to change or to do unofficially if the courts reject it (which seems unlikely right now, but I’d love to see it happen)

Fair. And it only goes our way if Linux devs take a stand in the first place…I think they will. I hope they will

The point is the writer is a midwit

And if everyone used E2E encryption for their private messaging like everyone who understands the topic has been pushing for decades, signal users wouldn’t stand out

The state cannot enforce this, it still relies on compliance in advance

Not the government provided identity verification service…I can see the use case for that , even if the government is an untrusted party

I mean the age gating laws going around. They’re suddenly popping up all at once because there’s a not so secret cabal of surveillance state freaks trying to make 1984 happen

And I do mean freaks. They’re death cultists trying to bring about the end of the world either because they think they’ll stand even higher on top of the rubble for some reason or from quasi religious psychosis. Look up Peter Tiel and palantir if you want to learn more, it’s pretty disturbing stuff when you realize how many governments are buying into it

But these laws are being pushed so private companies can collect data on the population and sell monitoring back to the government. If the government is part of the demasking process, they’ll get everything they want neatly packaged
