The things they promise to do like segmentation and 2FA should very well have been in place for the most part already. Sounds like a lot of 'just try harder' to me

Some of those are absurdly strong. I have wild grapes in my yard that got ahold of an old clothesline with 6 lines across it. Now I didn't use said line so figured just let it be to feed the birds and such. Turns out it got thick enough that one winter when a particularly heavy snow came through the weight of the snow on the vine mat was enough to bend in the poles that are a good 3 inches thick.

For those willing to do a bit of CLI work there are even tools to pull your whole library automagically. Just make sure you got the space for it. Sitting at just over 1.5 TB here.

I wonder just how far down the road they think they'll get. The 'little free libraries' and ebooks, legal or less than, would be near impossible for them to push this show onto.

Information will be free, like it or not the stories will be told and you can't do a damn thing about it.

The whole concept of corporations as distinct eternal entities could use a reworking. From copyright, to liability, to corporate 'speech', it all shields to interests of the well heeled from responsibility for their actions. Some level of separation from an individual is needed or no small business would ever date take the risk of starting up, but at a certain point somebody needs to own the actions of it. How we define that is beyond me, but for now I'd take removing non-breathing entities from the voting pool and political funding as a start.

They as a candidate don't, the campaign as a whole is important to support though. Particularly if it can be shown that the funds come from small doners it shows popular support. I would rather see a crowd funded candidate with millions of $5 donations than a handful of super-pacs funneling dark money into it. It's exactly the kind of problem that citizens United caused that we need to revert to show the popular will of the people.

There are some use cases other than web page compatibility. One for me is in dealing with firewall and proxy policy, if the agent is a browser and comes in on specified explicit ports then force authentication, things of that nature.

Or one could view it as regardless of efforts at future prevention, we still need to pick up from the past. If we stopped every scrap of plastic in production today that pile of junk would still be floating about for the next millennia.

Then when the 5th largest economy in the world decides they don't feel like playing with you anymore you get to find out what a budget deficit really means.

He knows just how badly she was able to pull his strings and play him like a puppet. Time and time again. The bit with poking at his rallys was priceless to see.

People have done that for ages. Pic taken of the screen with another device, try and block that now. Basic rule, if you send it out assume it's no longer private.

One of the few places it could be posted on Lemmy without being down voted to the abyss, but only because it can't be.
