Website? Website.
In the US system at least it matters not if your claim is legitimate, the mere fact that you can file it poses a severe risk.
Patent system needs fixing from the foundations up. Or even better, full abolition.
In the meantime, what’s the better actually open codec to reencode to?
But all of those are VPs are patent encumbered, right?
We all knew this was going to happen one day or another.
Where’s Theora these days, byw? Wasn’t it the encoding blessed by the license druids?
“Jail for you! And for you! And for you! No crime of those can remotely compare to Germany’s role in one genocide and the support of another one, and any such suggestion is an attack upon our nation and our glorious, Manifest Destiny!”

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were smalltime. Rookie numbers. Sure, the VFX was awesome but they’ve improved on that one since then, too.
feddit.org mods banning people because that is disrespectful to the grandioseness of Nazi Germany in 3… 2…
What they need is a better goal, like, something actually useful to do. Going about just like “oooh me too is oppressed” currently does not help any much.
May I suggest some work on manufacturing? Some wood, some blades, some ropes. Can lead to interesting artifices that are driven mainly by gravity.
Wow, picking choice words only in sections of the laws and proposals. At least try and engage in honest discussion, mate,
Honestly, just go check Ageless Linux’s site. They have a complete rundown on how and where does each law’s expectation come from.
Just one (1) example:
SB 142 — App Store Accountability Act
Requires “commercially reasonable” method. In other words, the powerful agents of the market (the Googles, the Facebooks, the NSAs) get to choose what you have to do to validate. Could even require biometrics.
there’s no alien intelligence or protocol specification in systemd that ensures or says the dob field must be accurate either
That’s because systemd, a well-known Microslop infection into the Linux ecosystem, is using the wayland playbook: specify nothing, leave to other projects the task and legal weight of implementation. All systemd has to do is to ship the field, then other projects are delegated the task of entering in a “legally compliant” way.
…Have you eve been following the news and the law proposals? I’m not sure you are engaging in good faith here.
No excuses! Courage is easy to come by. It even comes in a bottle.
Fields like name and location do not have any expectation for the information being valid or accurate (see eg.: adduser).
DOB is different. It comes from a legal expectation that correctness of the information will be enforced somehow. If going by the Colorado and NY law proposals, IIRC, by using biometrics at the time of system install.
And that’s why I only use Proton’s free tiers. If they are going to openly support Dementia Don and openly hand out their users to fascist governments like Spain or the US, then I can at least do my part by being a financial burden to them.
My very cursory understanding is that there is a subset of PDF that is open, something called PDF-A I think, at least enough that it’s used for archival. Source: my fingers, fingling on the keyboard.
Keep’em coming!
that last bomb
Truly a feddit.org moderation moment.
Nani? Where did you read that? Feddit.org’s weekly zionazi newsletter?
He doesn’t need to control every polling station. He doesn’t even need to control half. He only needs to control enough blues to as to make a point.
And what will happen next is that either someone in the USA Luigis him, or he will Luigi the USA.
On one-time payment? 👀
I know but the problem is that if you pay for a VPN, that’s traceable which has its own sorts of issues (not to even mention KYC-like laws).
If there was a VPN service that was a, like, one-time payment only or that accepted giftcards that could be easier.
The one explanation I’ve heard is that the EU has fallen for the “if code is older than three months old and not in Rust it’s dead” meme, something something about codebases presumably suffering from code rot.
Do I believe it? Not a chance. EU legislators and stuff barely understand anything about code.
