lime!

the prequels are also stupid.

personally i couldn’t care less about the social features of a bookmarking service.

i mean the main reason they don’t really advertise it as being self-hostable is the social aspect. the recommendation part doesn’t work if everyone is on their own instance. not that i know anyone that uses the recommendations. it looks like that’s the only thing they’ll keep running though…

was fakespot ever available outside the us?

the main thing with pocket and services like it is that it saves and syncs entire pages. like a local internet archive.

because it’s all Apache 2.0 or MPL

code has been open for about 10 years. it was a binary blob to begin with but nowadays it’s all here

they added recommendations. that’s when i stopped using it. i wanted a way to bookmark entire sites at once and then they started scraping the stuff i saved. then moz bought it and now the recommendation feature is the only thing they’re keeping around.

one of those pointy glass hammers should do it

for breaking windows

nationalize

cooperatives

make up your mind

sweden also had this but they stopped sending out fines because they were a company masquerading as a government agency which is basically fraud. there is an explicit carve-out in the law for making private copies of things, and we already pay a “copying fee” when buying media that can be copied to so they had no way of proving whether you were pirating or doing backups.

they have been publicly audited multiple times, their stack is open source, they require no info about you at all (paying cash is possible), their architecture is tor-like in that connections bounce around inside their network before leaving for a destination.

i can indeed see, and if the things the greek ad-article are saying but are not in the text of the law are true then it is very troubling and will probably result in sanctions from the EU, because the union have been on the asses of the greek government for years now to get them to curb corruption. it is also even more reason to get a vpn.

your link has nothing about the EU forcing the issue, in fact this seems to blatantly fly in the face of eu law.

this is an ad for a vpn.

EU is making a new law which makes your IP the same as (something similar to) your social security number

no they’re not.

the EU ruled that IP addresses are personally identifiable information (PII) for the purposes of GDPR compliance EIGHT YEARS AGO. this means that internet services cannot store your IP address without your consent and explicitly telling you why they need it, they have to delete it when they’re done with it, and if they are to be stored in any way for aggregate data then it needs to be anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you.

any change to associate IPs with you would break the GDPR.

wow

or if people would take the two seconds to click the “history” button on the file in the pull request. at this point, this brigading and targeted harassment of an individual with a history of depression and drug abuse has been going on for close to four years. it’s no longer a “PR” matter.

but… he did. the documentation has all been changed to use second-person pronouns for user actions. that was years ago. the most rudimentary checks of the git history shows this. yet people are still going at him for it.

the dev is a recovered addict and ex-convict who took up os development to be able to focus on something other than the world around him, in a country where the pronouns debate barely exists. him initially not accepting a documentation change from an unknown contributor that only changes pronouns does not qualify as a public freakout.

Edit: not to mention, this has been fixed. read the history of the documents touched by the offending PR and you will see that they were changed years ago.
