That's already a thing, so I'm not sure what you're referring to or asking.
Video can be encrypted with DRM, and only play on devices with DRM module or decryption.
When you can play and see the video on your screen, through your web browser or media player, and then stream your desktop to a TV, you may not be able to see the video if it's DRM protected against that.
YouTube already used DRM for many years, but only on select videos. Youtube-dl was criticized and attacked for having decryption code and test cases / explicitly referenced protected videos/video URLs, effectively meaning promoting or instructing DRM circumvention, which is illegal in many jurisdictions (moreso than downloading or playing unprotected media).
That's why yt-dlp (fork of youtube-dl) does not include that DRM decryption - AFIK anyway.
The main webbrowsers include DRM related stuff to be able to play them back. Those who want to ship their own have this additional barrier to reach feature parity. And distributors or operating systems like Debian that want to distribute only free code can't include them.
This is from the top of my head. So excuse me if anything is wrong or overly broad.
What's the difference between your friends and family telling you important things and commenters here doing so?
While the interpretation and assessment may be different, they're fundamentally the same.
I really don't get the distinction between objective reality and subjective politics. They were mentioning the objective reality of politics influence, not the subjective practice of politics.
What do you think it makes you vulnerable to?
Port forwarding allows a connection to reach your fiber in the first place.
Advertisers aside, it's a shame none of that money goes back to the manga authors.
IIRC some parts of that project were integrated into Firefox rendering engine. Was it layouting or something?
This included the Quantum project, when portions of Servo were incorporated into the Gecko engine of Firefox.
You're talking about security, but really, none of the privacy questions are about technical security of the product.
"What if you miss a setting?" Then they'll give you article recommendations or send your search query to the search engine you're targeting in the first place. They're really a long way from what you can call a security issue, or sharing personal data with random third parties or data brokers.
if they want to be FOSS or capitalist
I really don't see any basis for this take. It's not about picking one of two extremes, and the most extreme niches in those.
They create FOSS, and look for privacy respecting partnerships and investment so they can keep it going.
They added ToS because they're integrating services, like their synced/backed up browser data and other respectful integration.
That's all a long way from malice, or significant problematic behavior. And you still have more choice than on the other biggest alternatives.
I don't think it is the best we could have, I would like it a bit different too, but the way you make it out to be is way overblown if not wrong.
Depends on your torrent client. Be careful that the client does not accidentally overwrite your files, replacing the completed content.
In qBittorrent you add the torrent without starting the download, and then let it or make it re-check [existing] files. it should then progress the check to completion with the correct files and file names in place.
If you have the torrent added and then put/move the files correctly, you can use the context menu "force re-check".
When you then start that complete torrent, you're seeding.
Here on Lemmy you can add an image and weblink to a post instead of having to add the weblink into the description.
