You can’t tell me what to do! You’re not even my real Dad!
Reformatting body to be readable:
A list of recent hostile moves by #Google’s #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :
Submitting new posts seems to be “coming soon”. No issues commenting. I just dropped into chrome to submit, I’m sure he will button it up soon
Same. Fastest app purchase I’ve ever made

“Is copyright infringement theft” is something that had been debated for as long as mp3s were a thing. This is an old argument with lots of material on both sides scattered across the web. I clearly fall on the side of copyright infringement is theft and theft is stealing.
Re: Stolen. Not stolen comments Copyright law as interpreted judges is still being worked out on AI. Stay tuned if it’s defined as stolen or not. But even if the courts decide existing copyright law would define training on artists work as legitimate use.

My personal opinion, which may not reflect what happens legally is I hope we all get more control over our data and how it’s used and sold. Wether that’s my personal data like my comments, location or my artistic data like my paintings. I think that would be a better world

another change to Twitter’s ad policy. Starting August 7th, advertisers that haven’t reached certain spending thresholds will lose their official brand account verification. According to emails obtained by the WSJ, brands need to have spent at least $1,000 on ads within the prior 30 days or $6,000 in the previous 180 days to retain the gold checkmark identifying that the account belongs to a verified brand.
fwiw I think mozilla’s response was the most thought out response available to date. https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852#issuecomment-1648820747
An alternative that may address the concerns in comments would be temporary sub communities for loud events
I’m so sorry for everyone on teams. 🫂
Fwiw I’ve had small interactions with dessalines on issue reports and didn’t get great vibes and have stopped filing frontend issues. Nothing huge just didn’t get the sense I was welcome here.
