Computers and the internet gave you freedom. Trusted Computing would take your freedom.

or rather: oh silly you were so clumsy that you disabled recall by accident again. let us be so kind to re-enable it for you
probably this is it’s manifestation: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4204
I think Dessalines has had some similar idea he has mentioned multiple times a few weeks ago
I have a few hundred public torrents active, and they all have peers, even the “fringe” ones. maybe your statistics is right, but even then it has value. I don’t care about leechers if it improves the service for us too
thanks Microsoft for hiding extensions by default!
and over public DHT. we can share magnet links in this community, and why keep it to us only? if we keep it public, the survivability of torrents can even improve
because it is not a free service, you are watching ads.
I may accept it if it was not bundled with data mining. and if they wouldn’t constantly increase prices
they don’t have any business with my fucking personal phone! where do you live, in the USA? if I only use an old dumb phone, they have no business about it! they can reach me when necessary, and that’s all they need to care
there is 0% risk until your country makes a law that prohibits any and all P2P communication. That would not only break torrents, but would thwart signal/telegram/whatsapp calls too, Jitsi meetings, probably google meet and zoom too, as all those use P2P traffic for performance.
So far there are only such laws in far east countries, and the official java I2P router is smart enough to not participate in routing when you are in such a place.
Also, I think for routing to work you need to open a port, without it that won’t be done.
as a node
I know nothing about seedboxes, but on a computer you can point multiple torrents to the same directory. If you make it read-only, by permission or mount options or whatever, the torrent client can’t even fuck it up
my employers have never specified any requirements for my phone, sorry but wtf is that?
from google play? on my degoogled phone?
its a relatively recent development. possibly it only applies to when you open it up, replace something inside but even if they are not searching for software modifications, the distinction is very small and you’re not likely to hear it in the news before experiencing it
they’ll just wipe their tears each with anotherbank note.
you know what we need to do? to cook them alive on the public square!
no, not directly because of this. it’s been long overdue.
Hopefully they don’t do online attestation
unless you are forced to use it, by government, employer, or such
without uninstalling. that had a reason, safety, as apps are often not prepared to handle their “future” (relatively) config files and data formats
this is the reason phone selection for me is based on what it supports.
but samsungs are ruled out anyway. their service centers desttoys your phone if you have asserted your ownership of it, their software is way too unnecessarily complicated (not the part you see, but the low level part that complicates the flashing process), and they are generally a garbage company.
actually its not perfect with comments either. I keep 4 notifications in my inbox unread in case I could find out where I got them, 2 of which is inaccessible because they themselves were deleted and I can’t go back to see what was its parent thread
