Well, those are the words you typed. You literally asked me to link you child porn. Hence a moderator deleted your comment.

You're disgusting.

Eh. Germany weren't the colossal dickheads in WWI that they were in WWII. Frankly most of Europe had a part to play in sparking the first one.

Maybe It Should Be Illegal To Instantly Delete A Website's Archives - Aftermath in c/technology

What? No. What utter nonsense.

I should be able to remove a website that I created and paid for without there being some silly law that I have to archive it.

As the owner, it's up to me if I want it up or not. After all, I'm paying for the bloody thing.

Just buy an older supported device if grapheneos is important to you. Something like a 6 pro would be fine.

“Should art be regulated by the SEC?” NFT artists file lawsuit in c/technology

Why did a moderator remove my comment?

Do you want this place to die? Because excessive moderation is how this place dies.

It's not even that.

There is a huge lack of insight into who owns the copyright of an NFT. This confusion likely stems from the fact that an NFT comprises two things: (i) the identifiable, non-fungible, non-replicable, and transferrable cryptographic asset recorded on the blockchain, and (ii) the creative content. The creative content is separate and distinct from the actual asset recorded on the blockchain. As such, the person or entity that created the creative content owns the copyright. The content creator continues to own the copyright, even if the NFT is sold to someone else. It’s analogous to Jeff Koons selling artwork he created—Koons can sell the art to one person to hang on their wall, but since Jeff also owns the copyright, he can sell that same artwork as an image on t-shirts.

NFTs are literally just URLs, pointlessly stored on "the blockchain". URLs that point to servers which can be switched off at any moment.

GeckoView more specifically in this case. But yes.

Malicious Plugin in Pidgin (Chat Application) in c/[email protected]

Unless the pidgin team are compiling the binaries themselves, this doesn't really fix much.

Ideally we need reproducible builds.
