That depends on how big the previous drop was…

No they’ll send you to CECOT or just make you stateless and dump you somewhere random with nothing

This is both the actual reason AND the actual reason. Excellent.

This is literally why crypto was invented, as another user put it, “before crypto bros turned it into a pump n dump scheme”

Microsoft is counting on that

EDIT: could they just make this part of the install process? Could they make it like a thing that runs on first boot, if you can only do it from within the kernel/boot loader that is to be authorized?

I’ve made some comments critical of how relentlessly PirateSoftware is being harassed and how annoying it is and how distracting from the actual movement it is.

Nothing wrong with the petition itself, and I haven’t noticed any negative astroturfing about it.

Couldn’t he pretty much not move any of his body?

Why would any company use this in the first place?

The general public is not going to pay a subscription (ew another subscription?) they’re just going to use the free services. “I already pay for internet”

There is no reason for anyone to use this, as amazing as it is. That ship sailed long ago and the moment an MBA gets wind of what this’ll mean for the data broker industry, it will be lobbied into illegality, at least here in the US.

We don’t want them to sweat, we just want them to do the right thing by their customers

This is not a diddler list, this is a “ride on the plane” list. Some of these folks may have seen nothing, others may have seen something, others yet might be directly involved.

The question is: who knew what?

This is the part of the internet that we have forgotten. Everyone is supposed to be their own little island but they all connect. If I want news I shouldn’t have to go to Facebook, I should have to go to the news org.

This is why the Fediverse has been thriving by imitating monolithic platforms like Reddit or Twitter but doing so in a way that domains (aka “sites” are still all their own.

I shouldn’t have to go to Reddit to get to CNN, I should have to go to CNN to get CNN. CNN should not join Lemmy, CNN should host a Lemmy instance and have communities for topics and programs, and its users should only be people who work there. And that should all be federated out for the rest of us to interact with.

(CNN was the quickest news org name to type and I wasn’t about to use Fox as an example)
