Lol this sounds like toothless bullshit. Are they confident that these people live in the US? Do they even know if these two twitter accounts are run by single individuals?

Accusing somebody else of licking the boot, while you're having the same boot ground in your face and just acting like it's no big deal, not a problem.

Wow, Humble has really gone downhill after being acquired. Make sure you change the default split, they've made it harder to find! There's an "Adjust Donation" button where you can choose to put more of your money to charity, rather than Humble and the book publisher.

By default, they're only giving the EFF ninety cents of your $18 purchase. That's insulting. And they still have the gall to put up a "leaderboard" for people that paid extra, but probably only 5% of their money went to charity if they didn't think to change the split. What assholes.

To be fair, I don't think the Fairphone will help much with outdated processors. You can't upgrade the processor inside, and it comes with a relatively slow processor from day one.

This phone is not for people that need performance; it's a very basic phone for people that value an ethical supply chain and repairability.

Love how the headline equates the shame of viewing porn with the shame of viewing anime

You might not care much about Jezebel, but their parent company, G/O Media, also owns Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Deadspin, The Root, The A.V. Club, The Takeout, The Onion, The Inventory, and Quartz.

So if you like any of those (Lemmy fucking loves The Onion, right?) then this news should concern you a bit.

Also, RIP Jezebel. Sometimes they were edgy and weird for no reason but they also did some solid reporting over the years.

This makes perfect sense to me. If you plug your phone in to your car and give it permission to access all your shit, then it will access all your shit, and store it locally so that it doesn't have to re-download all your shit every time. If you don't want your car to do that, then don't plug in your phone and give it permission to do that.

Having said that, it is terrifying how much of our personal data modern cars collect. We should be fighting that, but this specific case was not the way to do that.

Well, it's not GONE. There are still plenty of games that won't run well on Linux, or they won't allow online multiplayer because their anti-cheat software is restricted to Windows. But that number is getting smaller every day.

I'm seeing a lot of confusion. Here are some key takeaways:

  • LBRY Inc is shutting down.
  • LBRY (without the Inc) isn't going anywhere. It's decentralized, they literally can't shut it down.
  • Odysee isn't going anywhere either.
  • LBRY Inc is apparently being shut down for "violating registration provision in securities laws", whatever that means. I think they were handling crypto funds in a way that the SEC argued was illegal, and they lost in court.
