I call bullshit on it being for cops: given valid-ish reasons, they can simply request all the comments left by the user directly from google and ask an llm of their choosing to produce a similar result.
Reddit (as well as lemmy) is a bit simpler in that regard: all you need to find all the posts made by the $username is to visit their profile, while YouTube actually requires scraping.
I mean, transistors and ICs do degrade over time, hovewer, out of all the power supplies I've repaired, the vast majority had dead caps, and those kinda tend to dry out with time regardless of whether they're in use. So, kinda negligible, just like the power consumption in standby.
Good to see there are still viruses in the wild, I was beginning to think those kinda became some ancient forgotten form of art. [I mean proper viruses, not malware in general]
Fair, although AFAIK we'd also need native hls support (outside safari) since it's quite commonly used as well. Although, that info might be outdated
Most sites use some custom js-based players instead of the native video tag anyways, so I don't exactly think it's an issue.
Can't say I agree, but it's an interesting perspective for sure. Although, given the problem literally cannot be solved by tightening the DRM and whatnot, why don't we fight the stigmatization instead? As in, people usually dgaf if they learn their friend is an accountant or paints 40k miniatures in their spare time.
RSS readers are the way, yes; mail -- most of the time: there are pretty nice Foss options I can trust, although it's not always possible, like with free tier proton mail. As for chat clients, also true for android but not so true on desktops: like, I'm not exactly happy when telegram logs my window manager and so on.
It's sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.
Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.
Do people really use DMs there?
