I mean, “compares as bad” is comparable, right? :p

Isn’t it dangerous now that PDFs can run javascript? (Who had that idiotic idea, anyway?)

Yet the mob not only punishes for the former, but does it so instance-wide, needlessly tarnishing the reputation of normal users of the instance while the admins moderated that problem on their own.

So, the usual “on the Fediverse you shalln’t be anything less than immaculately perfect” crap?

so no word on Israel from Europe yet, huh?

Despite the failures (or needs-of-improvement) of the current federation model, it is absolutely safe against that. Federation is copies, not links.

That copypasta never gets old!

Oh no I multiclassed it alongside Politics and Literature, which taught me there’s this thing called Context. Which teaches a supposed stream service of a country that is requiring government ID to access media or even web services in general, from a country that historically spreads its legs for the US and does lots of colonialism otherwise, might not be the most palatable thing. Even more when the rest of the US is pointing out they’re gonna help fund VLC.

Hmmm but wait, Britain (or the UK) is not part of the EU.

Well, that’s just about as good news as can be in the current tech climate, in particular considering programs like VLC and KeePass are getting this visibility.

Why would you do that to yourself???
