From the title and picture, I thought this was some weird diss on the depicted Brother laser printer and stopped by to defend it. Fortunately it is, instead, tauting the superiority of Brother laser printers.

I own the depicted printer, or one very close to it, and it is a workhorse. Brother laser printers are the way.

No, I still see it. Not sure why, maybe because I commented on it.

I’ve had several comments behave the same way, unable to actually delete them, even after waiting a while for the delete to propagate.

No need to be so defensive… unless you you the F-Droid team they are writing about. Are you?

Either way it is just whataboutism aimed at a strawman. No one is saying proprietary software is better.

NAL, but it would likely be enough for a felony obstruction of justice charge. Add to that, depending on specifics of Apple’s legal response (and whether they throw the employee under the bus,) a CPAA charge for exceeding authorized access in a computer system.

Isnt NewPipe still making calls to YouTube from your IP? I think you’d need to also configure it to use an Invidious or Piped instance.

Commiting felonies to antagonize a DOJ lawyer personally would be a whole different level of stupid.

I once got an Apple Watch as a bonus at work. Had to sell it to a buddy because I couldn’t use it without an iPhone. So dumb.

I have Nitter Redirect installed, but Nitter stopped working. So it just blackholes all X links. Some day I’ll add them to my pihole, I guess.

What are you doing, step-printer!?

Reading comprehension is important. As is a highschool level understanding of how our legal system works.

You know, we also have a very sturdily built Brother sewing machine and I never noticed that they’re the same company that made our printer.

As an outsider with a researcher PhD in the family, I suspect its an issue of how the institutions measure success. How many papers? How many cites? Other metrics might work, but probably not as broadly. I assume they will also care about the size of your staff, how much grant money you get, patents held, etc.

I suspect that, short of a Nobel prize, it is difficult to objectively measure how one is advancing scientific progress (without a PhD committee to evaluate it.)

Brother gang, rise up

More important question for me:

what is the oldest MacOS with xcode support (and therefore oldest I can run brew on)?

I keep meaning to figure this out.

So? He stays pretty busy with Solid / Inrupt and his other advocacy (e.g., the OP article…)

Perhaps he sees the personal blog format as a bit egotistical or otherwise not fit for purpose. Or perhaps he just isn’t a naturally talented writer. Its not as if he’s shy about sharing his thoughts outside that.

Also worth noting that he and Bruce Schneier, who is a much more prolific writer, share many of the same views and partner together at Inrupt.

That reads like ChatGPT used reddit comments to flesh out the “article”.

When you invent the www, you get to use w3.org as your blog… e.g.

My candidate may not win, but damnit they will count my vote and know that I dissent.

Which is the same exact reason I vote third party despite them mostly not winning.

edit: keep downvoting me. I’m sure that will help convince me to vote for your team, just like the last 50 times it happened.
