sab , 10 months ago to technology in A key feature of NFTs has completely broken / Web3 was supposed to make sure the original artist always got paid. Not so much anymore.

Did they though? It might be my filter bubble, but whenever I saw web3 being pushed I saw a small refraction of responses of people who also thought it was a great idea (typical salesbros - so a good idea for others to do, just not for themselves). But the vast majority of people reject it for being a scam.

So how many people fell for it, really?

You should read the thread she posted. Half of it was about management telling her to stop whining when she brought up any of the misconducts against her.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks!

I heard about allowing alternative app stores, but I’m not sure if that also removes the browser engine restrictions. (would make sense though, from an anti-monopoly pov)

sab , 10 months ago to technology in Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year

I don’t see how they would, since ios Firefox doesn’t use the same rendering engine it uses on other platforms, Gecko. Instead it has to use Safari, just like any other browser on there.

Duplicating support for all existing extensions would be pretty much impossible if you don’t control the rendering engine.

I guess that’s my fault for not specifically asking for reliable sources.

I’m starting to wonder if complete anonymity on a computer is actually worth it

Everything is so much easier when you put it in absolutes - because it’s no longer reasonable.

I heard that rumor before, is there any source to this? Like, which antivirus companies?

In the end it’s all just a linguistics game though - you’re profiting off the work somebody did, without paying the rate they charge for it.

But that’s exactly the kind of answer you’ll get in a community focused on piracy. Most people wouldn’t be here if they hadn’t already justified piracy.

Very nuanced take, I like it.

sab , 11 months ago to news in Sinéad O'Connor Revealed What She 'Instructed' Her Kids to Do in the Event of Her Death (Exclusive)

Stupid clickbait title. Here, saved you a click:

O’Connor told them they should call her accountant before they call 911.

“See, when the artists are dead, they’re much more valuable than when they’re alive. Tupac has released way more albums since he died than he ever did alive, so it’s kind of gross what record companies do,” she told PEOPLE at the time.

O’Connor continued, “That’s why I’ve always instructed my children since they were very small, ‘If your mother drops dead tomorrow, before you called 911, call my accountant and make sure the record companies don’t start releasing my records and not telling you where the money is.’”

No argument there. But given that they mostly popup in the context of “I think all nazis…”-circlejerks, that’s kinda to be expected.
