GPLv3 is less proprietary than GPLv2, in the sense that it does a better job at protecting end-users from being abused by device makers that would try to close up their Linux-based system.

Imagine having such a hard-on for letting corporations exploit your work in abusive Tivoized products that you stoop to retaliation against a company that’s actually trying to protect their customers.

They know it’s better than v2.

Anticopyright diatribes are the important part!

Does this mean they’re Alex Jones’s boss now?

Yes.

Not only can people be pretty dumb sometimes, once the screenshot is on the Internet, who knows where it might get reposted, potentially without context.

You should censor the scam bitcoin address when you screenshot things like this.

That’s really interesting!

We’ve been overdue for a revolution at least in copyright law for a long time now.

To be fair, non-malware OSs come with Firefox preinstalled.

It’s hardly going to help any to come out and announce that everything is fucked

Yes it fucking would! That kind of honest assessment of reality is exactly what millions of working-class people have been clamoring for from Democrats for years now and not fucking getting!

And by “millions,” I mean more than the margin of victory.

I mean, you say that, but even straight white guys often have wives and/or daughters.

Or maybe what media thinks their job is isn’t what you think it should be. Maybe the media is deliberately promoting fascism for profit, has become our enemy, and needs to be destroyed.

I have always used Firefox on all my devices, except for one: the Chromebook I was forced to buy because of compatibility with my college’s test proctoring spyware.

On that device, not only did uBlock Origin quit working the other day, but today Chrome even kept disabling uBlock Lite with the error message that “This extension reloaded itself too frequently”. It could be some kind of legitimate bug, but it sure feels a lot like foul play on Google’s part.

Brave was astro-turfed by crypto-scammers for way too long to give people suggesting it now the benefit of the doubt.

Imagine having an OS that doesn’t come with a proper package manager (and Firefox installed by default, for that matter).

Back then, !selfhosted@lemmy.world was one of the most active communities, LOL. There might be somewhat fewer people here right now, but at least the content has diversified somewhat since we settled in.

(Not that I dislike self-hosting, mind you. In fact I wouldn’t mind if that community were a little more active…)

.World not being hosted in the US is news to me (as an American member of it, no less). It’s definitely welcome news, though!

Stuff that isn’t accessed eventually gets deleted. If the Lemmy instances (which are clearnet, of course) delete the references to it, it would go away.

Chrome’s engine was originally forked from WebKit. That makes them too similar (even years later) for WebKit to count as a real alternative.
