There is no way they’ll just make up a bunch of invoices for small developers. That would be too time consuming, plus they’d need to show reasonable effort in determining the invoice. It’s best to just let the devs do all the work with the fear that an audit can cost them so much more money than they’d save if they lied.
Will probably be enforced via licensing. Maybe even self reported. Probably has a clause giving them permission to perform audits of your sales.
Nah. It’s because they want to sell data. It’s super easy to comply unless you collect data from visitors. And you literally just have to say “if you click no, then we won’t collect data”. Some sites go out of their way to actually force you to opt out of every single cookie.
Uploads would likely be a lot more affected as your connection is very lopsided. I should have been more specific that down is a lot more difficult to max out. And uploads are more affected by your connection speed. So yeah, uploads you may see a difference. Depending on what you’re torrenting though, VPN is likely safer for that to begin with.
Personal data is an enormous market in the US. Too many big players located here. It’d never happen unfortunately. We’d need to replace all of Congress with folks who actually care about rights and people instead of money. We have only a handful on the left and that’s only in the house, and that’s being generous. I haven’t seen any attempts really on the right. So it’d be a long time until this is even remotely possible. I’d be amazed to see a senator actually care about people though. Or even a governor.
Incapable is not the same as refuses to.
I mean, honestly, you’d have to already have poor Internet to not be able to max out most connections regardless. It’s the lag that is affected and it’s likely still under a second.
Not anymore. Now available in the US.
Apparently just starting a few months ago, you can get fairphone in the US through Murena.
I’ve owned two Google phones (original XL and the pixel 4 XL) and both died at about 2 years. It may have just been bad luck, but it soured my whole outlook on them.
Before the link was edited, when it was just a raw url with no markdown code.
It’s always with markdown. Lemmy is the only web app that can access it without markdown. I explained it like four different ways now. If you don’t understand it by now, you never will.
It worked for me and it’s why I provided a full link. Since it was created on Kbin, it was escaped by Lemmy as well. So lemmy will display the app just like Kbin would. But anyone who creates a link on lemmy, it will always look wrong in every other web app or third party app. It’s simply not possible for a third party app to display a link properly that was created by a lemmy user. Same goes for code boxes. They can only be displayed properly by Lemmy and no one else. It’s not possible for third party apps to display them properly.
Lemmy is the only one that can display links and code boxes created by Lemmy users. Links and code boxes created by every other platform displays properly everywhere.
You’re literally hand waving it away because it still works even though it’s impossible to parse by any other app. Just because it is only aesthetic doesn’t mean it’s a bug. The bug affects jerboa more than Kbin. I still helped those users instead of your pretentious ass by saying “oh well, not my problem.”
When there’s a problem that only exists with lemmy, it’s lemmy.
Do you need me to explain it yet another way? Do you need an ELI5?
You’re the pretentious one speaking from some authority without having any clue what the fuck you’re talking about.
I’m done. You’re blocked so I won’t be angered by any stupid replies from you.
The link works for me. I was helping other folks who may have an issue with bare links as pointed out by the other commenter.
Either way, Lemmy is the reason non-lemmy readers can’t actually properly parse the information. The information is not what’s stored in the database. Only Lemmy can display it properly since it wraps it up in a bunch of markup that is then provided to third parties. As a developer, I don’t know what reasoning you still think you have to believe it’s not Lemmy. Everything you’ve said so far does nothing to backup that point.
Edit: also, I’m done here. I’m not interested in convincing a non-developer their favorite platform isn’t perfect.
Lemmy avoids it by having the source content and then translating output to markdown. Any third party reader needs to sanitize that output.
Lemmy basically does not output safe content for third parties. It’s absolutely a Lemmy bug from any developer’s perspective.
So, it’s actually more a Lemmy bug. Lemmy stores the comments just fine but the API displays it with markdown. The double underscore is screwing up other apps abilities to display it and there’s really no way to avoid that. A third party app can’t tell if it’s supposed to be interpreted or not.
So on Lemmy, all the URLs look fine. On Kbin or any other apps, they’ll all get cut off after the first underscore.
The information the OS collects is not worth more than keeping you in the ecosystem itself. That’s the more lucrative reasoning. Can’t easily sell other products if they’re not in Windows. The information collection is just gravy.
“I see a problem I can easily fix but obviously it’s someone else’s problem.”
Here’s the full link.

Edit: to lemmy users, this link looks no different. To third party app users and Kbin users, etc, the previous links all cut out after the first underscore.
Also true.
Many folks deleted their contributions when they migrated away. So it isn’t intentionally trying to not help anyone else. It was just protesting against reddit more likely.
They’d have to do best effort against charging devs for pirated copies.
Telemetry is also easily blocked. As a business, I’d trust that a lot less. It’s why many enterprise licenses are simply self reported. The punishment isn’t worth lying enough to make a difference.
Most companies would trust devs as the devs are not big enough to survive a legal fight they’d certainly lose with prejudice, meaning they’d pay court costs as well.
