You can patch old third-party apps with ReVanced. That being said, they are unmaintained and will still eventually break.

Japan isn’t a federation, there is no “federal”

Once you hit the millions mark, strangely enough, it again becomes cheaper to use fiat. For 1,000,000 USD, Kraken Pro’s fee rate is 0.18%, or 1,800 USD to buy and 1,800 USD to sell, totalling 3,600 USD plus exchange rate risk. A USD wire transfer usually costs 20-35 USD to send and 0-10 USD to receive.

I think what YouTube does would be sufficient. There’s a noticeably different video progress bar colour (yellow instead of red) and a large “Skip Ad in __” in the corner, plus the advertiser information on the side.

Reddit could do this by putting a “Paid advertisement” watermark in the corner or putting “Advert” where the upvote/downvote buttons are and colouring it some noticeable colour, like yellow, and I would be satisfied with that.

If it’s not already the law, it needs to be. It should be required that paid advertising be disclosed in all contexts.

Well, at least one person thought it was a good idea to acquire a Mastodon competitor, and they paid a pretty penny for it

I said it before on Reddit and I will say it again here—

If Reddit has asked me for a premium subscription to use my favourite third-party app, I would have fucking paid.

Just bad business all around

These are all very interesting and good ideas, but I struggle to see why they need to be added to a constitution. A constitution is supposed to be a frame of government, and adding a bunch of ideals to it seems like just worthless lip service.

Yes, I recognise that it’s already filled with such statements, and I find the inclusion of such statements equally baffling.

Ah yes, the US, where no foreign company is allowed to be successful.

Such unsuccessful or banned foreign companies include Samsung, LG, Sony, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Aldi, Shell, Siemens…

Yes, you have pointed out the subtext that was there all along and pretended like it’s some new argument.

It is about the data sharing. The US doesn’t like companies sharing data with countries that it views as its geopolitical rivals. Big surprise, am I right?

You can use exchanges like Coinbase Advanced Trading and Kraken Pro to interact directly with the order book. They use the standard maker/taker model. 0.6% for takers on Coinbase Advanced Trading and 0.26% for takers on Kraken Pro. You can use “market” orders if all you want is a buy button and a sell button

The Ko-Fi link seems to be broken.

It’s not coercive at all under that definition. It’s not an attempt to be coercive. Think about it more before replying.

Again, this does not seem to be getting through to you.

You can click the “agree” button to get back full functionality.

A court would just rule that your clicking of that button does not bind you into a contract.

The data is all stored server-side. The worst that could happen is the sync connection stops working and you need to redownload the files. Nothing gets deleted by these commands. They will still be on your disk and accessible by you.

If this breaks Nextcloud, it indicates something’s wrong with your installation.

I’m guessing you’re talking about the client, right? The data folder on the server shouldn’t be touched or modified, except by Nextcloud.

Check who owns the folder. I’ll assume the folder is at ~/Nextcloud, but if it’s not, just substitute in the path to the Nextcloud folder.

You can check who owns the folder using ls:

ls -la ~/Nextcloud

This should give you something like:

drwx------ 10 user group    4096 2024-03-04 00:00 Nextcloud

Where the word “user” is in the above example should be the name of the owner of the directory. Where the word “group” is should be the group.

If either is root, check to make sure the Nextcloud client is not running as root (using sudo or otherwise).

Otherwise, give yourself ownership of the directory:

sudo chown username:username -R ~/Nextcloud

Replace username with your username.

(1) Wer einen Menschen rechtswidrig mit Gewalt oder durch Drohung mit einem empfindlichen Übel zu einer Handlung, Duldung oder Unterlassung nötigt, wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft.

(1) Wer rechtswidrig eine fremde Sache beschädigt oder zerstört, wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu zwei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft.

(2) Ebenso wird bestraft, wer unbefugt das Erscheinungsbild einer fremden Sache nicht nur unerheblich und nicht nur vorübergehend verändert.

I ran Google Translate on these:

(1) Anyone who unlawfully coerces a person into an act, tolerance or omission by force or by threat of serious harm will be punished with a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine.

(1) Anyone who unlawfully damages or destroys someone else’s property will be punished with a prison sentence of up to two years or a fine.

(2) Anyone who unauthorizedly changes the appearance of someone else’s property in a way that is not just insignificant and not just temporary will also be punished.

Firstly, the terms and conditions screen is not “force”. Secondly, the television is not damaged by making you accept such conditions. The software doesn’t work but you don’t own the software, you own the hardware. Even if there is no way to install other software on the system. Thirdly, the terms and conditions originally agreed to allow this (changes to the terms and conditions) to happen. It is not unauthorised. Fourthly, and most importantly, you can just physically click the “agree” button to the terms and conditions to get back the functionality. The remedy is for a court to consider that agreement unenforceable.

My God. You just used words that you think are criminal offences, and then proclaimed that you think they applied. “Last I checked” my arse, you did not check at all.

And when I tell you to read the statutes and show why you think they apply, you go and say “No, that’s not my job” because you’re either too lazy to Google search the text of the law or you’re afraid of seeing that you wouldn’t be able to justify your point.

You claim this is a criminal offence. You can’t cite or don’t want to cite any criminal statutes substantiating your claim. Instead you just speak out of your ass instead of checking to make sure. The information’s there. You just don’t want to read it.

You’re wrong. Just quit the conversation already. You’re not winning this one.

Chrome! Now with the ability to view Web pages!

Printing shops have existed as long as there have been printers. People rarely need to print anything anyway but most will convince themselves against it because they think it’s a hassle or that they will print a lot more than they actually do.

Many people I know end up replacing their ink cartridges almost every time they have to print because it’s been so long that the ink has dried up…
