I don’t think that Norway is one of the countries that look the other way when it comes to DMCA requests (which are only valid under US law), but they aren’t required to. However, what I would do is go ahead and then wait for the DMCA request. I think you could then decide what action to take going forward.

You could provide links to YouTube, SoundCloud, Qobuz and loads more like ReverbNation (mainly for new/upcoming artists), with links to online tools for downloading etc.

Or something like Radio4000

or

HearThis.at

That’s what the article linked is about. it was rejected, but Google, meta, snap etc… said that they’re going to scan anyway.

Despite the general and indiscriminate scanning of people’s messages not being legal in the EU

Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Snap have already signaled in a joint statement to “continue to take voluntary action on our relevant Interpersonal Communication Services.” Whether this indicates continued scanning of our private communication is not entirely clear, but what is clear is that such activity would now risk breaching EU law. Then again, lack of compliance with EU data protection and privacy rules is nothing new for big tech in Europe.

It is utterly insane that any company thinks that they can ignore laws from at least two different continents and not only think they will get away with it, but are getting away with it, and doing it so blatantly, impetuously and with impunity.

But climate change deniers would need to prove their expertise on weather and the climate etc. I was referring to the other post… I don’t think it would or could apply to politics.

Would it apply to politics? That’s just an opinion mostly. I don’t think that right or left could be considered 'experts ’ by any means, and both would be culpable for spreading misinformation. I guess one of the ways that they could get them would be when they say blatant untruths or have no evidence to back up stories that they promote.

Who started this ridiculous trend where the fucking words letters are substituted with symbols or numbers. Sex. Why can’t sex be written? I’ve seen it with tons of other words too but can’t remember the which ones.

Why did they call you? Are you the king of the jerks?

I knew it was Australia, didn’t realise that there was such a monopoly. Still possible, just makes it harder. Are there stores that aren’t part of any chain? They’re dying out here, usually the owners have signed up to a franchise.

It’s unlikely to happen anyway, but there should be a way that we can universally stop greed.

Boycott the stores that use them, it might help them change their mind behind they become the norm.

Pity it took Grok making child porn before they left it.

Or the videos where they take an old comedy skit and re-film it to make it look like their original content.

I think Zulip and Kahla do, not sure about which others, but a quick visit to each site should let you know whatever you need.

In no particular order, and not all are EU or FOSS But most are FOSS. I think only the first 6 are both EU and FOSS clients. I may not have marked all of the Self Hosted ones, but I think I did.

Yeah, but if accounts are made on mumble for example, the migration will happen there quicker. Then if that doesn’t suit many, others are an option. I’m guessing whichever platform benefits from this will happily make any changes that are currently missing.

The problem with steam is that it will eventually go the same way.

At the moment the internet is being used by big tech similar to a sheepdog rounding up sheep. Hopefully most will refuse this and move platform, that platform will eventually attempted to be broken down and register a few more users etc. If you have younger siblings or kids, they’re fucked. Unless you educate them about their privacy and how important it is.

Worried about the children while protecting thousands of paedophiles that raped children. (The governments, not discord)

Regardless, fuck discord and instead of “threatening” an exodus, why doesn’t everybody register with xmpp or mumble and figure it out from there. Crazy staying on discord from here on.

Seeing as everything else in the notification seems to be about money, I’m guessing 0.3 dollars.

Surprised they didn’t suggest getting another delivery driver for half price to bring it the rest of the way.

What?

dbzero0 breaks rule 7.

Windscribe are a bit late to the game -https://x.com/windscribecom/status/1995619967996494334

They are twittering today quoting an article that was published 3+ months ago.

Proton is moving out of Switzerland because of their new surveillance laws. So much for Switzerland being some bastion of privacy huh? That makes Canada a better place for a VPN. Stop drinking the marketing koolaid.

Judging by the direction that Switzerland seems to be going, I am guessing (I could be wayyyy wrong) that Swiss privacy companies are going to be still effective for people outside of Switzerland, soon to be completely free from US big tech spying. Canada are in the 5 eyes, whereas Switzerland aren’t even mentioned in the 14 eyes.

As for Canada being a better place for the Privacy or a VPN, I think Windscribe need to stop drinking their own nonsense.
