Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won’t take many of us to get to $175/mo.
I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won’t give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they’d ever see from me from ads. And I’ve spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.
It should never be illegal to link to infringing content in the US. First Amendment should apply if they have any sense.
We need a competitor badly.
Reminds me of sdf.org.
We were there 6 days ago. Mostly fine except they couldn’t change the monitor at the gate to show the proper destination. I wonder if it was this!
Yikes. Back to Newegg for me!
It should never be illegal to link to a thing. To host illegal content, sure, that should be illegal. But making it illegal to say where some thing, legal or not, is located is asking for all kinds of trouble.
I can’t find the link, but I read that some Canadian news organizations were using URL shorteners to post their own news to Facebook to get around the block.
But the sweaters!
And in politics, too!
“Sorry, Tennessee! And Oregon. And Minnesota. And Alabama. And…”
It does now–it didn’t in the past.
Looking around, I don’t think that’s true. Lots of bad things are freely said about Mozilla and the people running it.
The local Uber eats clone here has the submit order button off screen. Reuters on Android sometimes has the top bar of the webpage shift down over the content. A video conferencing site used by my medical provider won’t connect the video. The 3rd party comment section on our local news site sometimes lays out the controls off screen. The Lemmy PWA on Android used to crash on startup (recently fixed yay!!)
FF is my daily driver and 99% of things work fine, but I’ve definitely found a few sites where they clearly didn’t test it. I still have Chrome installed for those rare occasions I need it.
And I don’t even necessarily blame Firefox for this. I used to do web dev back in the day and I remember making my shit work across multiple browsers. Maybe Firefox is doing it right and Chrome is doing it wrong, but everybody targeted Chrome because it has a zillion percent of the market.
I switched to Aegis when google authenticator didn’t allow exports. It’s simple and it works.
Illegal to share? So you see a video of someone and before you can share it without legal risk you have to verify its provenance? How is this supposed to be practical either from a usage or enforcement standpoint?
If my ISP starts throttling my traffic, I’ll just switch to one of the zero other providers in my area.
I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It’s been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I’m added value.
