Framasoft is not so much about providing the service itself, they have limited resources, but to show alternatives exist and are usable. They develop some of the tools (we own them Peertube!).

So they host services, and sometimes end them (with ample warning and instructions to migrate). As they explain: their goal is not to become an “open Google”. It’s to to make de-googling possible and usable by the many.

As service providers, you should look into the CHATONS.

These are mostly based on the Framasoft suite.

You still assumes big money operates like commoners. That’s never the case.

That’s nothing. Wait for them to come back disabled from the war and be called welfare-queens for the miserable rest of their life.

His charities are a tax evasion tool that happen to be helpful at some level.

And if he was half as honest, he wouldn’t have waited for the proof to be out there before admitting what he did.

What I suspect now is there might be more, but it hasn’t been released, so he won’t mentioned it.

And about his decency: he abused Microsoft leading position to enact all kinds of dirty and shady tricks. MS lost quite some lawsuits because of that, but he knew very well whatever downfall would happen way too late to fix things.

Is that what you’re referring to? https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-facial-recognition-glasses These people have no ethics and no moral code. They know we’ll hate it, so they want to sneak it!

Years of privacy violations going deeper and deeper under pretend of “progress” and “pRoTeCt the cHiLdReN”. I am glad that people started rebelling against Flock, and some removed their Amazon cameras following the Superbowl’s ads, but that’s not even close to how much we should be mad at these mass surveillance actors.

Not sure the lemmy crowd is representative of the general public trends.

Oh I’m perfectly aware this is most likely a chain of pressure and responsibility dodging:

• the top demands more users more active,
• the bottom develops some solutions they demo while refusing any responsability for its impact.
• Some middle pressed to meet demand while having only one solution available at the time eventually decide to deploy it, maybe “temporarily”.

Oh they absolutely know. Zuck’s Meta is on trial right now not only because Instagram creates an addiction for kids, but because it was made delibarately, on purpose. Kids addictron was the goal.

They’ve always known. They just don’t care for the rest of humanity.

He will probably claim to work a gazillion hours a week with an unrivaled efficiency, making him one of the most productive humans on Earth. Because these people are not just sociopaths, they’re also completely delusional about their intelligence and true worth, out of money worth.

You think he would oppose a massive genocide of 99.9% of humanity if he could get an army of robots to sérve him in his new world?

Think again!

Pretty sure they won’t care except if it ends with a multi-billions$ fine. The intent is that by the time, their “smart-glasses” are everywhere and banning them no longer seems reasonable.

So they’ll settle for “privacy settings by default”, meaning they commit to not record anything except if the user expilicitly activate it, and it should be very visible for people around.

They’ll wait a good 6 months before an update introduces back a silent auto-record of some kind, because that company never gave a flying fuck about the law, its users or basic decency.

Let’s just hope pissing off the judge on mïnute 1 may get them uncomfortable about the rest of the trial.

KDE can be considered heavy only if your idea of a desktop use is to launch it and stop right there.

But normally after that you launch apps and that’s where the magic happens: it is so integrated, apps barely add any more RAM usage on top.

So instead of comparing DE x and y, compare what a desktop actively used looks like: browser? office suite? file manager? drawing app?

Only then will you be able to compare you RAM usage from one DE to another. Everything else is comparing cars fuel economy when they’re all idle.

That, the coming war against VPN in other states and countries, … Can’t we cut through all these baby steps and get straight to a 1984’s telscreen mandatory in all rooms?

Oh come on! Think about all the domestic violence’s victims!

Well, a firefighter behind him did receive a bullet and died.

There is enough on Trump already to send him to jail for centuries. But the guy is a complete idiot, he would never be able to organize such a plot without fucking it up big time.

It’s ironic how your first thought is not to make them accountable in front of the law just like everyone else.

Years ago there was a sketch in France making parody of local news to denounce racism: Anchor: “A man shot at a group of Arabs arguing they were too loud. After investigations, the police concluded that indeed, the Arabs were too loud”.

This news brought that immediately in my mind.

No. As long as the base remains opensource (AOSP), they can remove the bad parts. Graphene has made numerous contributions to AOSP, I’m confident they can manage that. And if the user base growths, I hope their fundings will follow.

It would be a good thing for the world if AOSP was forked with big resources behind an open project with an open governance. But that needs lot of resources.

All four sections carry a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years, although § 1001 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than eight years when the offense involves terrorism or one of several federal sex offenses. The same five-year maximum penalty attends the separate crime of conspiracy to commit any of the four substantive offenses.

Even 1 year in jail should be a good enough incentive, if only he could not buy his way out.
