I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.

Self hosting is a viable option, if not difficult. This is also an opportunity to start Canadian-oriented services.

How? It’s very simple you see. This is “legal” and “constitutional” when ordinary citizens do absolutely nothing to uphold the constitution and laws or hold those responsible for doing so accountable.

Nah, it’s only happening because the people are rolling over and letting them.

Try AliExpress. It has all the same Chinese garbage, but at half the price.

I already stopped buying from Amazon. You can buy exactly the same Chinese crap from AliExpress for half the price. Bonus points for not funding Bezos’ attempts to undermine democracy in our own backyard. Just gotta be a bit more patient, but that’s an easy price to pay.

I think it’s safe to say that intent is what matters, not the technicality of communicating that intent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intention

This opinion is so backwards, it’s actually impressive.

The purpose of a locked boot system is to control what the device does as much as possible, which intentionally, or incidentally (it makes no difference) means the manufacturer and only the manufacturer gets to decide how much privacy they get to invade.

Get real.

In practice, patents don’t really restrict the availability of a technology, from a consumer perspective. Patent holders regularly licence the use of patents. The only purpose of a patent is to fund research costs by creating some guaranteed revenue stream for the patentor.

The only time what you describe happens is if a company ignores its prime directive to generate profit. Such benevolent companies are a very rare thing.

It’s a tech demo. It’s not made to be practical. It is made to spur the imagination.

I’m with you on this. There is no evidence here to suggest or infer intent to block speech to meet any agenda. An overly censitive CSAM filter seems to be the most likely, and a perfectly reasonable, if not annoying, explanation.

Let’s keep accusation of censorship for the cases where speech appears to be blocked intentionally, i.e. for the purposes of manipulating a narrative.

For the public, this probably sounds like a strange and non prestigious reason to pursue a career in law, but for lawyers, dealing with people’s idiosyncrasies is one of the juiciest and most interesting parts of the job and a big reason to be drawn to the profession to begin with.

You say that like it’s everyone else’s job to do that. So long as you (and by extension everyone else) carry that attitude, nothing is going to change.

I feel like the very situation you lament is caused precisely because of people with your attitude who basically just roll over and give up on making this country better. I have no sympathy for apathy.

Touch grass. No really. There’s an ultra high def Instagram for free, for real. /outdoors

Are you here because you believe in something and actually want to see it happen, or are you here just to stroke your own ego. Ain’t nobody got time for that second part. Get real.

Comparing it to a subway is totally unmerited. This system is all the bad parts of a subway combined with all the bad parts of roads, with not an ounce of the benefits. It’s truly a stupid thing.

I’ll take a weaker dollar and healthcare over a stronger dollar and no health care. MAGAs are morons if they think I would join their shitty techno feudalism/neo-slavery experiment willingly.

The generation that warned their children about brain rot have succumbed to that brain rot.

I would support this.
