I think that's up to device vendors giving parents decent controls and parents monitoring their kids devices. Which is admittedly not great, but still better than the honor system and more reasonable than submitting your license.
By litigate I mean, if a person is creating something and says they don't plan to distribute it, do we take their word for it?
If it ends up getting distributed anyway, should we take their word that it was an accident?
We consider people's private data important enough that if you leak it even by mistake you are on the hook for that. You have a responsibility.
I think that rather than framing this as something harmless unless distributed and therefore intent to distribute matters, we should treat it as something you have a responsibility not to create because it will be harmful when it is inevitably distributed.
Good read. I'd add one more reason: write a post to document something. Might help someone else in the future, might not, but if you ever need to refer back to it, it's going to help you!
I don't think the vast majority of users use browser plugins at all. Vodoo or not, the barrier is high enough that it's not a common practice. Certainly not trivial. See the next section; I do think there's a genuine blind spot among tech literate people.
It's kinda like if cars shocked you every time you touched the steering wheel. Car enthusiasts of course know how to pop the hood and remove the shock module, but most drivers aren't car enthusiasts. So when people have a conversation about cars, it needs to start with 'yeah shock wheels kinda suck' because that's what cars are to drivers, even if you have a workaround. If leaving the shock module in as a reminder is what it takes, so be it.
Are we not even going to talk about how many of their sites/wikis are filled with fake/misinformation and go to great lengths to document completely non-existent things in a way that isn’t always obvious to outsiders?
I don't know how specific that is to Fandom but I am aware of at least one Fandom Wiki for an obscure old console game that's like 50% inexplicable unmarked fanfiction.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that his contrarian personal views and his contrarian technical views are both expressions of some underlying contrarian-ness. Not that we shouldn't be asking if he's a decent person, just that I'm not super surprised to find out he's gone mask off weirdo.
I lost all respect for his technical taste when he confessed that his daily driver is FreeDOS. I know linux folks skew at least a little contrarian but at that point I don't think we're speaking the same language of computing and there's not much I can learn from ya. Not super surprised to hear he went way overboard contrarian in other ways I guess.
Ouch that's a lot of flex. Worried it won't hold up to long term use by heavy handed typists.
I need video of this in action!

The idea isn't to let sites restrict adults, just let them restrict kids. So there wouldn't be a child internet.
The... what?
Good on ya.
Huh, I didn't know you could do that. Where do you go to get to the downloads?
Are they ending the ability to upload files to Kindle too?
The Internet Archive would be the usual place.

How do you litigate 'intention' in this way?

Can't wait for the bots to tell us what they learned about b2b marketing!
I'm so hype for typed dictionaries

N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?
