Don’t Google hold the keys to the kingdom on that one? I see it as unlikely that Signal adds support.
They do stand up for themselves. Meaning, their bottom line.
I’ve never said Telegram is better. I’m just saying Matrix is also bad.
XMPP is the future.
Isn’t matrix like an absolute non for privacy?
But the right solution is inconstitutional and anti-corporate! Even socialist and maybe even “woke”! So, this is the option TPTB are leaving us with.
Don’t like it? The second most useful thing to do compared to this is to ready your guillotine. That is the language they understand.
Oh yeah that should be cheap considering Cuba is right around the corner, for example.
I plan to keep using my current 2015-ish phone to watch my media at home, so it’s likely I’ll keep off of AV1 until phones are made somehow hardware upgradable (Fairphone?). Plus, in a general sense, in order to reacquire new media in a better codec you have to at least keep the old media around until you have finished verifying the new, otherwise you run the risk of ending up with no good copy.
Sounds sus.
I won’t dispute that both of these likely abuse the subscription model for their benefit. But they definitely have a social responsibility (and in many cases a legal responsibility) to keep updating the software in these products and the network infrastructure that go with them.
I mean, it would be zero cost if it was a fucking normal device. Someone had the idea that a juice squeezer or a toaster should be online… for… what, exactly? Remove the online (or even better, remove the software), you completely remove the cost that you want impugn on the user with “subscriptions”.
AYO how is that legal?
This. With digital feudalism now crossing into the physical realm this way, it’d be nice to see people finally sharpening their guillotines.
Considering Presidents and CEOs exist, I don’t think they’d be bad. You might even get out on a golden parachute.
Is there an english equivalent?
Yes: “gratis”.
English is literally about mugging other languages in a backalley for words (and boning them for grammar). It’s the ISO standard procedure.
Then they have the right to not continue publishing their stuff. That doesn’t affect the rights of the persons who already got their copy alongside the associated rights to consume it. Depending on the licensing terms, it might not even affect their granted right to redistribute, if any.
Want to put some economic incentive to pirating? Make it a shared / solidarity pool. Or get in touch with a state / nation that has more active interest on digital sovereignty and preservation so that it can be set up as some sort of UBI.
cracking the games
to put some DRM on them
to sell them
Fam, half the point of pirating is getting harmful middlemans out of the way. If I wanted a game and it was available on the Cracked Store for, say, $10 plus $15 for the DRM unlock, I’d just go to 1337x or somesuch to get the normal pirated version.
I feel so silly that I wouldn’t even know how to describe it.
I know! I’ll pirate hundreds of books from well-known authors so that I can easily find a useful metaphor.
If Meta can pirate stuff, then the Internet Archive can pirate stuff and I can also pirate stuff. Fair is fair.
Truly the depravity of Israel knows no limits.
It seems they did learn some stuff from WW2.
