On the other hand it is a conduit for censorship. If an admin doesn't like what you post on another instance, then they can censor you everywhere.

Such a user can

  • Create an account on a different instance
  • Spin up their own instance

If you do not understand why this is inappropriate you are the problem.

Was it inappropriate for Elon Musk’s company to not properly secure the data of its customers? I would say so. It would therefore be appropriate for anyone harmed as a result to sue Tesla - or Elon directly - for any damages they suffered.

Further, "Whether another user actually downloaded the content that Meta made available" through torrenting "is irrelevant," the authors alleged. "Meta 'reproduced' the works as soon as it made them available to other peers."

Is there existing case law for what making something “available” means? If I say “Alright, I’ll send you this book if you want, just ask,” have I made it available? What if, when someone asks, I don’t actually send them anything?

I’m thinking outside of contexts of piracy and torrenting, to be clear - like if a software license requires you to make any changed versions available to anyone who uses the software. Can you say it’s available if your distribution platform is configured to prevent downloads?

If not, then why would it be any different when torrenting?

Meta 'reproduced' the works as soon as it made them available to other peers.

The argument that a copyrighted work has been reproduced when “made available,” when “made available” has such a low bar is also perplexing. If I post an ad on Craigslist for the sale of the Mona Lisa, have I reproduced it?

What if it was for a car?

I’m selling a brand new 2026 Alfa Romeo 4E, DM me your offers. I’ve now “reproduced” a car - come at me, MPAA.

OP: “Zen 5 CPU”

You: “Unpatched Zen 1 through Zen 4 CPUs are vulnerable”

You: Is it vulnerable?

Wasn’t the estimated delivery date much sooner when you first placed the order? Per Amazon’s stated policy, you should be eligible for refund three days after that date.

Obviously it would be preferable for you to get it even sooner, but that’s still a lot better than two months from now.

If you have an email or any record of the original estimated date, contact Amazon CS and reference that. Don’t even mention the changed delivery - that’s not your problem, as you didn’t agree to a changed delivery date; you were promised delivery three days ago and haven’t received it.

Where did I contest your point?

I downgraded Firefox once last year, but after the next major version a couple weeks later, I was able to upgrade again. Never had to downgrade it before that, though.

I forget why, though. I think it was a pretty niche issue.

The president won [the] popular vote

Only if you ignore the huge amounts of voter suppression. If you don’t, then he lost the popular vote and the electoral vote - netting 45.8% of the popular vote to Kamala’s 52.7%, and he earned at most (and probably less than) 252 electoral votes to Kamala’s 286.

If you’re in the US, automatic is fine. Manuals make up like 1 percent of new cars and maybe 4% of used cars here. It doesn’t hurt to know how to drive one, but it doesn’t benefit you much, either. I drove a manual once, but it was a rental in another country. I’ve never been faced with needing to - or even having the opportunity to - drive a manual in the US.

However, learning on a manual does make it easier to understand certain ways of how cars work, even on automatics (less so on CVTs), so if you like understanding things more, I recommend manual even in the US. You can still get that understanding driving automatics, though - just a bit more effort.

Outside the US, most places I know of manual is the default. If manuals make up even 30 percent or so of cars where you live, I strongly suggest learning to drive one.

Even with an HOA, you can still end up needing to pay tens of thousands for surprise repairs in the forms of special assessments, especially if the HOA is poorly managed.

Do you mean like a FOSS version of https://soundiiz.com/transfer-playlist-and-favorites?

Or at a song/album level, a FOSS version of https://odesli.co/?

 

The video teaser yesterday about this was already DMCAed by Nintendo, so I don’t think this video will be up long.
