Court Rejects Appeal of Youtube-dl Hosting Provider 'Uberspace'
  • You say that but they literally went to court against a journalist claiming they "hacked" them because the journalist simply referenced their html code that is visible from pressing F12.

    Luckily I think the case was dismissed but it was really close and was extremely problematic to begin with.

  • Seems like the courts haven't caught on, but most people migrated to yt-dlp.

    I do wish they rebranded the project to get rid of YouTube from the name. It can do so much more and is insanely powerful. It should be advertised as a generic video extractor. Don't know if it'd help legal issues though, despite them not actually breaking laws.

  • Demand privacy
  • Technical issues are irrelevant. If Microsoft is caught acting on this data, then they are in a lot of legal trouble. As far as I know, HIPAA doesn't have exceptions for unintentional data leakage from inept admins.

  • I can control if I use Linux or not. I can't control my government being bribed lobbied by big tech that shits on consumer rights. I know what can reasonably change. Also the therapist and doctor offices are bad examples, because they have strong legal defenses through HIPAA.

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • I use Fedora and I don't understand this

    I just want to pound my coffee and get to work. I finally gravitated to Fedora because it's clean and just works. Too much setup on my Arch and Gentoo installs with way too much breakage. It's fun to customize and tweak distros like those to an obsessive degree, until you actually need to get work done.

  • Period tracking app refuses to disclose data to American authorities
  • Cool but the proper solution is that they shouldn't have access to this data at all. It should be either stored locally, or encrypted on their servers. Companies not being able to access their consumer data should be the default.
