Chrome does not allow to disable updates, it doesn't even notify you of extension updates. Then it is clear, why people buy addons to buy userbases. You can push whatever code you want to the users. Be glad, they didn't replace your banking site with some phishing website.
Whats next? He should sue them. But what are the direct consequences for him? Will they publish it with an instigation to kill him or what's the threat here?
Why? Redirect the stream from alsa/jack/pulseaudio or directly from gstreamer into a file. This is lossless in the sense, that it does not introduce any quality loss which isn't present in the streamed media before.
Because stream ripping is perfectly legal in analogy to recording radio to tape.
The only (and big) BUT is, that you need to have live access to the stream while ripping it. Downloading rips while the stream is down is not legal. You probably can argue that some websites like youtube-downloader may be illegal as you're not directly ripping the stream, but I guess a court will rule what's the process and result, not the technical details. And you can use the youtube-dl tool to rip yourself instead of using websites. It includes the youtube-music-grabber tool, which allows you to ripping the audio part of a video.
Who to trust? American Software? Ask the NSA, they will recommend it. If the russians want to spy, they at least want to spy on the government not on the people.
People don't like their OS to make network connections without a good reason. When I install a system, i expect it to make NO traffic at all, when I am not doing anything with it. We can talk about stuff like NTP and update checks, IF I explicitely enabled it possibly automatic updates. But no fetching of random messages. What's next? Fetching new wallpapers? Sending telemetry data?
A subset of html, a subset of javascript. Possibly some instruction counting (like "total js is no bigger than 4k" but not on filesize (which would just get more minimization) but on instructions and complexity).
You can open you menu with javascript, if you really don't know how to do it otherwise. But you cannot load a external script, which loads an external script, which loads an tag, which loads an ad...
Did you know, that firefox allows you to use alternative stylesheets in the "view" menu? when a site provides a stylesheet with rel="alternative", you can choose it there. And old mozilla had button navigation for rel="next", rel="previous" links. Browsers had nice features even before html5...
Browsers need to help there. Chrome does a very good job. firefox not that good. But the worst are websites, which disable the zoomin on purpose, because they know better what fontsize is good for me.
Mandatory Javascript (mandatory loaded from google cdn) for a restricted subset of HTML? W.T.F.
1) Define a Subset of HTML 2) Create a Parser 3) Validate the page. When it's AMP display it with your fast parser, if not open a browser 4) ??? 5) PROFIT
Why does it need javascript?! Javascript should be FORBIDDEN on "fast" pages.
The play store is the bad part of the gapps. It brings google play services, which are always active in the background, access your location if you haven't turned off location completely, can install packages without your consent and much more.
Who cares about a bug free system, when there is only one crappy phone, where it works? Of course, the bugs should not be too extreme, but still adding hardware support has a priority as well. And bugfree systems are rare. Have a look at the mozilla bugtracker. And there are many serious problems, ten year old platform bugs and so on. But firefox mostly works and that's the important part. Abitious projects do not have the ressources to do everything perfect. And there are always more new bugs than fixed ones. If you're in a market as mobile phones or browsers, you need to keep up with features. HTML5 gets new features like every month. So when do you have the time to fix the minor bugs of the feature from a year ago? You start doing so, when people actually care and report they are having big trouble with them. Or when you got a bit of spare time. But now while the users are complaining, that netflix runs slower as it does on chrome.
route had a horrible syntax. "ip route" now has a syntax which is almost proper english and you can always use the same command and swap add for del to remove the very same route. ifconfig and multiple ips on one interface... ohh this new idea, who needs it? Lets call it eth0:1 instead! iproute2 is a nice idea.
systemd on the other hand started with solving a few problems (dependencies of initscripts, cgroups to assign ressources and reliably detect running processes and kill them if they are not stopping) and grew to a horrible monster. Nobody would object a cool initsystem. I remember the old days, when systemd came around with fancy bootcharts and fast booting and everyone saw it as the next cool thing. But they did not know when to stop. If this is successful, let's add that, it will be successful as well and we're knowing what we're doing, aren't we?
You never have this from the start. But somehow you need to start. Ubuntu Phone had its chance, because there is a lot of user base, which wishes android was more open (not from the source licence, but from the development process and restrictions like locked bootloaders). Okay, a lot not like "a lot of iphone users", but like "Hey, we're not selling sour beer there are many people who really like our idea right from the start"
Freenet is a distributed block storage. Your content stays in there as long as it's wanted or as long as you reinsert it. Its a bit like torrents with DHT, but you're guaranteeds some distribution, even when nobody downloaded from you, yet. Still it dies, when you stop seeding and everyone else stops seeding/loading.
> I'd rather just run my own server, which would cost me the same except my content will be available for as long as I want it to be, not when Freenet decides to drop it. On the other hand, it is instantly dead if your server hoster pulls the plug. On freenet the content may stay forever. Or at least long enough, you can download it again to start creating your site again.
In the end it is always +/- 0. But The +/- 0 is more failsafe, because there is some redundancy in there and the content isn't associated with the creator and his servers anymore.
Advertisers want clicks, I do not want to see their shit. So my headless firefox is allowed to click (with a separate profile because of tracking cookies and so on) and I can support the websites which cry because of my adblocker. If anyone objects, he should stop crying. Either they want me to load their ad or they do not want me to.
That's the way block storage networks work. The only way you can guarantee to host something, which isn't dependend on services you provide or you pay to stay available.
Content undesired by some is the reason for decentral and censorship resistant networks. You may object some content and find it reasonable. Other people restrict content, you want to have. Legal rights, morale and related things are relative. Freedom of speech is allowing people to say (or in case of digital media distribute content) you DO NOT agree with. Freedom of speech is a right you grant to others. And you can only have total freedom for everything or for nothing. But don't worry too much. Digital content does not kill anyone. Never. You may think about sites, where somebody hires killers. Yep, that's a problem. But the problem is not the digital data, but the killer. And a killer kills you in real life. Where real life police protects you. The content itself will never kill you. AND when you have a uncensored network with an open site for hireing killers, you have a starting point for investigations, which you do not have when there are only secret markets.

Bullshit. You can have pulseaudio without systemd.
Chrome does not allow to disable updates, it doesn't even notify you of extension updates.

you can record him, but you're now allowed to publish it without his consent.
So lets say they publish his info.
Whats next? He should sue them. But what are the direct consequences for him? Will they publish it with an instigation to kill him or what's the threat here?
and you cannot produce 1 Watt. They probably meant something like 500 Wh or similiar.

The thing is: AMP should make it the standard.

this was the most common (and an easy) command. Did you ever do something more complicated?

route and ifconfig always were shit.

Maybe it's a name and he misspelled Rolf?
Then the answer is: nobody listens.
A decentral network must be resistant to attacks like this one.
