you dont need root for these things. just download the fdroid apk from its website, open the apk (you probably need to allow installing third party apps in the settings, which come disabled by default these days), then search for libretube or newpipe inside fdroid after letting it download its app catalogue (it may seem confusing that fdroid seems empty at first, but you may just need to slide down to update and wait a second for it to download the catalogue).

echoing some other people, this is a scam to exploit you. if youre extremely lucky, youll earn something, but doing a good job is certainly not enough, you still need luck. OF just needs a small percentage of people making money serving as bait to attract a huge bunch of other people to exploit, regardless of merit, and thats the part youll play most likely.

i see

oh, you meant that since russians cannot contribute, then they’re not going to work with american companies that want to have their firmwares supported by the kernel.

ah ok

cant you still get info on that firmware by just reading the kernel source code? how does contributing code get you info?

you underestimate too much. trump is just a face, there are plenty of people working with him and planning all kinds of shit. any kid plans some trickeries while playing board games. what makes you think a political group is incapable of forethought?

what do you mean by “export controls”? backdoors?

the article mentions that the tool takes into consideration architecture, distance between buildings and so on. i think youd have to mess up the backgrounds somehow

“for people”

This doesn’t mean a lot for people who don’t know about people, or dont want to look it up.

i would guess that people that deactivate js are fine not using google for search

why?

i struggle to see how this problem transfers to fake news regulation

transparency is precisely what can make regulations not be censorship, or I should hope so.

When a judge decides to convict someone of murder, we all know they might be wrong. The judge is not entitled to decide what objective reality is, he just decides how the judiciary system sees and treats the situation, as someone has to do it.

The same thing should be applied to fake news, which is sharing (dis)information with the false appearance of some verified news piece to influence people into making certain decisions.

Of course, there’s a big potential for censorship in how we treat fake news. So this treatment should follow clear objective criteria and be absolutely transparent.

who knows… but the us has softer means to pressure europe

Pointing that A is like B regarding the aspect X is often treated as a “comparison” between A and B, but it doesnt imply that A is as great, as important, or as bad as B. It doesnt imply that A is like B in any way other than in the aspect X.

Why not focus on the point that is being made instead of freaking out over the angles from which the analogy breaks down. Every analogy breaks down from some angle.

thats different from fake news, still

who is talking about thought crime? spreading fake news can be dangerous in a way that results in actual deaths.

people being offended by comparisons is something that puzzles me every time i see it.

One common trait between two things is enough to make an analogy. The differences between the objects being compared doesnt hinder the argument as it is based on the similarities alone.
