from proprietary software, not from Microsoft; nothing wrong with using free software just because it was developed by Microsoft

They can and it has been done, IIRC Friendica or something does that…? (Correct me if I am wrong.)

Even on Lemmy, community mods can see who voted how on which posts and comments.

and also: data centers do not consume “as much water as possible”, they consume exactly as much as they need

I thought the goal was precisely not profit? 😂😂😂

But yes, this is exactly what I meant.

“Web” means HTTP and HTML.

I fail to understand the point of this.

If the goal is to be able to deliver documents without any JS, cookies, tracking, etc., then why not just deliver documents that way through the web? No one is forcing anyone to put those things on any website.

I’m also getting the same error as you.

I would not do that without first looking into applicable laws regarding legal liability for content and requirements to remove things. Depending on where in the world you are, this can be a minefield.

Plenty of things in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_November_in_German_history

I think “allen Ernstes” is more accurately translated “in all seriousness”, not “actually”; so: “the moderator here, in all seriousness, deleted…”.

Yes, this is true (although the name change happened years before the major version was no longer 10) and doesn’t contradict anything I wrote. But the first version of Mac OS X was an entirely new OS technologically unrelated to Mac OS 9; not the case for later version jumps.

True, that usually costs money though, while Tor is free.

In general no, at least according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS#macOS the name change happened several years before the architecture change. But I don’t know what the distinction is on that graph; it’s possible it just depends on how the OS is called in the user agent string?

The OS was renamed at some point; the first versions of the Unix/NEXTstep-based OS made by Apple were named Mac OS X, then at some point they switched to “OS X” (which hardly anyone ever actually said), then at some point to “macOS”. So it’s somewhat silly that they are separate lines and I don’t know what the difference is on that graph.

except that laws about social media usually target any online service regardless of technology

I don’t see Tor solving the problem of I.D. verification on social media, for example.

It does by disguising the location you’re accessing the website from, which may or may not have such laws.

I was wondering how much closer it can get than it is now… then I noticed the date.

not wrong though, we are lucky that the apparent sizes of the moon and sun are as close as they are on Earth :D

That’s the one, thanks. I thought this happened much earlier than 2013 for some reason.

Wasn’t there a long time ago a genuine bug report in Mozilla’s bug tracker reporting that the source code was publicly available and this was insecure? I can’t quickly find it because I can’t think of good search terms…
