Dude, that's just not how you make friends and influence people. He knows all the arguments, he said it. Wouldn't it be more interesting to try to find with him a way we can all work together towards a better future, without attempting to shame the counterpart into a public admission of moral failure which will, of course, never happen?

That's why Linux has been successful: beyond the zealots, there were significant amounts of people (including Torvalds) who did not ask anyone to repent their proprietary sins before joining. "We build A, you build B, let's see if we can make something together which is a bit more like A, because we honestly think A is awesome, but hey, we like your B as well! It's just that we cannot help you if you keep it to yourself..."

The thing is, "we" are currently not building anything that might allay studios' fears. "We" don't even understand those fears, or choose to disregard them entirely. Of course they'll go out and do their own thing. If there was a safe way to deliver what they want (encrypted tamper-proof streaming) in an open-source package, they would likely consider it. But there isn't, afaik. Are "we" building it? No, we try to slut-shame "them" into giving up. That ain't gonna work, when there are billion of dollars and millions of jobs at risk.
I find it hard to believe that attempting to marginalize half your users to match the political outlook of your employees is driven by profit. If it was I wouldn't criticize it.

We know that this is something the publisher's want. That doesn't mean CDM functionality can't be standardized. It doesn't need to be a black box, and you don't need to trust the client any more than you trust the user.

Okay, but if you're going to accept that kind of situation as creating an expectation of privacy across several parties, then you can just as well say that Google + me have an expectation of privacy with respect to my Gmail communications.

And yet somehow there's always someone saying, "well, you let Gmail employees run programs that aggregate data over its contents, therefore it's not really violating your privacy when a government investigator looks at them without a warrant". Which is it?

Media DRM is not and never was primarily designed to prevent piracy. Rather, DRM is used by content producers (Fox, Disney, Warner, etc) to assert control over the rest of vertical market. This article is a prime example of this. Thanks to DRM the movie studios force browser vendors to sign agreements to get access to the CDM, and from that agreement they can assert control. They can subtly suggest, for example, "Hey, Mozilla, could you revamp your plugin API to make blocking ads harder? It's fine if you don't, but, oh, by the way, your CDM agreement expires next month. Looking forward to seeing you at the re-negotiation meeting."

The same thing goes for encryption on Blu-ray discs, which forces Blu-ray player manufacturers to sign agreements with them. HDCP on HDMI and DisplayPort asserts control over TV manufacturers and infests video cards.

This is the same industry that pushed the DMCA on us, extends copyright in perpetuity, sues families because their kid downloaded an MP3, would like nothing more than SOPA to pass, etc, etc.

I know that the comments here like to demonize Google, Microsoft, Netflix, etc. Honestly, I don't believe it's their fault; Netflix in particular. Netflix is in no position to fight this. If they say no, the media empire will pull all their licenses and the company will collapse. And Netflix is already fighting for its life against these same companies for net neutrality (the major ISPs are owned by the media empire...). Google is leashed by its need for advertising revenue. Microsoft is beholden to its customers, who want access to DRM'd content.

In other words, we shouldn't be taking our fight to the W3C, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, etc. The media empire is the real enemy here. And there's hope. The rise of cheap, digital cameras and distribution platforms like YouTube and Twitch have enabled a wide array of independent artists to create AAA content mostly unbeholden to the incumbent media giants. Some of the best and most entertaining content I've watched has come from Patreon funded YouTubers. If that was the only content that the world watched, the media empire would starve and whither away, and DRM along with them.

Strangely I can't find it in the latest dev release of chrome or chromium, it's still in stable. At least on linux, it also shows firefox's total memory usage, maybe they are doing lots of comparisons.
An "outsider" thing? I've used it quite extensively and understand its nuanced differences from other offerings. That said, its a fancy messenger app that is a huge battery hog, and crashes and lags constantly. It's not really deviating from the image that it's built by frat-boys.

One thing I do admire about it is that it deletes the content. This allows me to be more "free" and take shitty pictures of myself just to utilize the fun parts (videos, stories, object tracking / emojis, and lenses).

But in the end, I find myself wanting to create content I'd want to share with my Facebook network. Sure, it's ephemeral nature allows me to communicate freely with closer friends than on Facebook, and in a more immediate sense, but I don't see how this is any different than any other messaging app with fancy "message format" features.

Except it deletes content. It feeds into the insecurities of today's youth, and shelters them from consequences of their own actions. Of course it would spread like wild fire. It's the safe space that college students thought Facebook was before people realized everything stuck around forever.

So outside of the funny lenses and stories, the main attraction is deleting content. So either your insecure, or you're sending dick pics.

I expect to be outspoken about this, but its simply my take. If you disagree, you can respect my opinion by not down voting me for it.
Instead of attempting to fight a self-harming losing battle, I wish the EFF would focus on the real problem which is the DMCA's overreach.

Don't forget the story of how Apple forced the music industry into abandoning DRM on their "high-value intellectual property".

Had Google, Mozilla, Apple, and Microsoft all refused to play ball, and also continued to push towards the removal of Flash and Silverlight from the web, we would likely soon be seeing either the same abandonment of DRM'd streaming video, or the abandonment of streaming video by the major studios (and subsequent void filling by smaller players).

Well spotted. Note how that strip is from 2011, it was a bit of an old joke at the time already, and nothing has changed. Or rather: app-developers now route around this perception with IAP-whaling, which makes everyone sad and doesn't really map to "real" apps anyway. A trialware model would be better for everyone.

80,000 habits that lead me to my third app
How hard is it to disable the “dead man's switch” for this feature? Can it be done without searching the forum for hours? Is it documented in the owner's manual?

The direction of my blame here kind of depends on the answer to those questions. Of course, it's technically the owner's fault, but a feature like this really needs to be 100% idiot proof.

This is a new feature to many people, and it's exactly the type of feature that people are going to “test” outside of the ideal operating conditions. It's not Tesla's responsibility to account for every stupid decision of its customers, but Tesla should have at least done everything in their power to ensure that critical safety features couldn't be disabled (which they may have done; I don't know).

Most critical safety features on cars can't be trivially disabled (ABS, airbags, automatic seatbelt locks, etc...). The only safety feature that I can think of that can be trivially disabled is traction/stability control, but there's a real reason for this (getting out of deep snow/mud). Also, disabling traction/stability control is a multi-stage process on many cars. On late model BMWs at least, pressing the “DTC” button once will partially reduce traction/stability control, but not completely disable it. To the average person, it appears to be completely disabled. However, if you do a little research, you'll find that if you hold it down for another 5 seconds, it disables completely (sort of). Even with it completely disabled, certain aspects of the system remain on. The only way to completely disable those portions would be to flash custom software to the car (which is well beyond the ability of the average person).

How Do I Remove Copied Content on Google Search Using DMCA – Onenaija Blog
I think it is a very positive thing that the OP accomplished. And yes, I think the city should pay back for the wrongly issued parking tickets.

The official admits there was an error and defines why it happened. This in itself opens the door for the wrongly ticketed parties to claim a refund, since their is the admission by the city official.

Now, who's going to inform those wrongly-ticketed citizens? Certainly not the city. It will cost more for them to re-analyze, and contact all of those people. They should, but it will not happen.

Great work by the OP! Glad to see NYPD in a positive light.

Slightly OT: I was born and raised in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and I remember people used to double-park, or do whatever they pleased, and rack up hundreds of dollars (thousands today) in parking tickets, and then bargain the total fine down to a fraction of the fines. It was cheaper than legally paying monthly parking rates!

>HARC researches technology in its broadest context, which includes: technology for communication (from the invention of spoken language to modern data graphics), intellectual tools (such as the scientific method and computer simulation), media (from cave painting to video games), and social systems (including democracy and public education).

> I'm honestly not convinced that's a reasonable expectation.

It seems reasonable to me - not being allowed to keep money that isn't yours and that you shouldn't have taken (even by mistake), consider the incentives - writing a huge number of false tickets and then returning the money only to those that are willing to go through the trouble of contesting the ticket.

> I could not sit any non-technical user in front of it and have it make sense to them

So name a bug tracker with equivalent or greater flexibility to Fossil's that non-technical users do understand.

I've only used one bug tracker that's simpler than Fossil's, and that's because it had far fewer user-facing features.

Every other bug tracker I've had to use requires some training once you get past the "submit ticket" form. And a few required training even to successfully fill that out!

> Fossil's lack of any built-in emailing was also lousy.

Email is hard. Seriously hard. RFCs 821 and 822 are only the tip of an enormous iceberg. If Fossil only did the basics, it would fail for a whole lot of real-world use-cases, and it'll only get worse as email servers get tightened down more and more, to combat spam, email fraud, domain hijacking, etc.

I, too, would like Fossil to mail out commit tickets and such, but I'm not sure I want the build time for the binary and the binary size to double just because of all the protocol handlers it would need to do this properly. Keep in mind also that Fossil generally doesn't link out to third-party libraries. There are exceptions, but then, I'm not aware of a widely-available[1] full-stack SMTP library, so it would probably have to reimplement all of it internally.

Now, if you want to talk about adding a simple gateway that would allow it to interface with an external MTA, that would be different. I suspect the only thing wanting there is for someone to get around to writing the code. I don't want it bad enough to do it myself.

> "it's supposed to work that way" instead of "hey, maybe you, the user, are onto something".)

If you propose something that goes against the philosophy of Fossil, then of course the idea will be rejected. We keep seeing git users ask about various sorts of history rewriting features for example. Not gonna happen. No sense having a philosophy if a user request can change it.

If you're talking about a Fossil behavior that isn't tied to its philosophy, but it just works the way it does for some reason, logic and persuasion are a lot less effective than working code. The Fossil core developers accept patches.
