Enforcing DRM has a big downside: it paints a massive target on the DRM implementation, and it will likely end up getting broken.

It absolutely is a thing. Network effect matters. Usability matters. Open source/community solutions usually lack that (and the lack of familiarity makes it worse).
The problem is that they can’t tell who is who, nobody wants the extra hassle of extra security, and in the end the companies have to deal with the fallout (customers asking for account recovery, compromised accounts being abused, …).
“Apparently, providing my login credentials doesn’t prove that the account belongs to me” given how bad people are with password reuse, phishing etc. - no it doesn’t, unfortunately.
16 would be 👍 (going by the mapping in this post, or the pinky if you do thumb = 1).
4 is 4 either way.
Don’t forget 4.
Absolutely not. They have way more money than they can sensibly spend, keep begging for more as if they could barely keep the lights on (they could probably easily keep the core mission going with about 10% of the money they’re getting), and then expand their spending to match the donations they collected.
They then created an endowment (i.e. a pile of wealth that generates enough interest to sustain them indefinitely), using both additional donations and some of the money given to Wikimedia (which reduces the apparent amount of money they spend and is not listed as money Wikipedia/Wikimedia has, as it is accounted for separately). The $100M endowment was planned to take 10 years to build, got completed in 2021, five years before schedule. Wikimedia also has a separate cash hoard of almost a quarter billion dollars.
It’s actually all in their article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation#Finances
Without having read the whole thing, so I’m not sure how clear the article is about it: the important part is that donations to Mozilla go to the Mozilla Foundation, which does the political campaigning/social justice etc. stuff, while Firefox development happens in the Mozilla Corporation funded with search engine deals etc.
So again:
I’m sure there are worse, and it’s not one company, but the companies that provide malware to dictatorships are pretty bad, and western countries are sheltering them/not doing much about them.
Examples:
Don’t have vulnerable shit and ignore them.
Those are just weather.
Well… https://lemmy.world/post/1070774 has a suggestion ;)
I like asking the “why don’t they…” question as a genuine question because it’s a great way to learn a lot in a short time
Yes, but it did also have hardwired emergency controls that they could use if the controller failed.
Compare that to Crew Dragon, which flies Astronauts to the ISS with a touchscreen (also with a backup)
They had a backup system, so I think this is fine. Not like you’ll have a lot of interference under the ocean…
Using a controller is reasonable. Not having redundancy would be insane. This article suggests they hand plenty of redundancy for surfacing.
February? Then I believe they have obtained a full copy of all posts and comments on the site. /s
(For those who don’t get the joke: https://github.com/Watchful1/PushshiftDumps - full dumps of all Reddit data up to February exist, and I think archive.org has the March file too)
/c/bbses@lemmy.dbzer0.com should turn into a clickable link.
Edit. Maybe not… at least not on the android app. Let’s try this?
Edit: the latter (relative link using markdown, [this](/c/bbses@lemmy.dbzer0.com)
) “works” on the web version but 404’s (probably because nobody has tried the community from that server yet, or defederation) but crashes the current version of the app, and the plain text version doesn’t work on either :/
I see two three pin 3.5mm stereo plugs (one of them color coded for the headphones and one for the mic), and zero 4-pin combo plugs?
