This is America and KOMO/Sinclair is an American company, serving American users. What "rights" do you think you are being tricked out of? You don't have a right to not be tracked.
Yeah to be clear I don’t think it would good, but the article was saying to either do the proposed UBI or make the stores pay for the cops.
They’ll just sue them.
Is that how it works on kbin? Maybe I’ve just never gotten an upvote on my kbin account
It sounds like you're slightly mis-remembering this oft-cited Hacker News comment from Moxie from 2015. I'm going to quote the main bit here because honestly a lot of people in this thread could stand to think about it:
If we were going to rank our priorities, they would be in this order:
Make mass surveillance impossible.
Stop targeted attacks against crypto nerds.
It's not that we don't find #2 laudable, but optimizing for #1 takes precedence when we're making decisions.
But that’s not what’s being said here. In this post people op is asking for federated Signal. People are saying matrix is just as secure. This is wrong and I am pointing that out so people don’t go thinking this is correct. Making misleading statements about the security of this sort of thing is dangerous.
Facebook Messenger offers optional end to end encryption just like Matrix. Just like Matrix, the server knows who you're talking to, what groups your in, who else is in those groups, how many messages you sent to which group, who's messages you react to, etc. But the actual text of the message is technically encrypted so Facebook can't respond to subpoenas for your messages. I use Facebook Messenger as an example because Facebook is (correctly) generally considered not private or safe.
You're allowed to upload the same .mp4 file to multiple websites. There's absolutely no reason why a creator that isn't getting YouTube ad money couldn't upload to YouTube and PeerTube at the same time. Presumably if they are getting YouTube monetization, they have some kind of exclusivity agreement.
My time to shine
Ah yes I am in fact stupid. Sorry about that. My incorrect statement was based on half remembered information. They do try to avoid saying accident though. Here’s a random link I found on the subject: https://www.vox.com/2015/7/20/8995151/crash-not-accident
