Makes sense, but in that case, why do law enforcement even care if the OS reboots itself if they already have a copy of the encrypted contents?

Most phones aren't letting you try more than 5 attempts before you're locked out. You can even set it up to erase after the attempts

"I've never seen it therefore it must not have happened". I can't imagine how you're a parent while thinking human experience revolves around you.

Problem with their logic is that, as stated in the article, goods such as preserved books are already used for recreation. Your idea that a catalogue of old media would prevent consumption of new media is provably false by example. People read old books and it doesn't stop them from reading new ones. Can you imagine saying this exact same thing about music? People's tastes change over time and they like new things- old things don't stop us from consuming the new things. All the copyright lobbyists are doing is preventing the public from enjoying old games that can no longer be played because the hardware is dated or there are no viable copies left.

You're deliberately ignoring our complaints- I was misled by your writing implying that the browser itself is completely closed source and that it's impossible to inspect the inner workings of its adblock, which as pointed out to you is FALSE (because only the UI is closed source) and thus misleading. I am not going to talk to you about your strawman. I'm also not making any implications about required technical expertise to assess these adblocks, but if we are to go by your assumption, perhaps you are not qualified to make this article if you cannot get the data required to make a proper assessment? Either way, I'm not sure why you're so against adding your article clearer- a few words would've done the job.

If you have examples, maybe you can report it on their issue tracker? I wish the browser had built-in ways to report problems like how amd's bug reporter works

I was actually under the impression the whole browser was closed. Thanks for the clarification

I'm not the person who you're replying to (just another reader) but I felt misled after reading the clarification here in the forums that the source IS available for the adblock portion. I was under the impression (from your article) that the users could not inspect the code at all because of the same wording the person calls out. If they (and obviously others like myself) were misled by the writing, would it not be better just to fix it instead of arguing?

That's wild that it wasn't full time. IRS now defines 30 as full-time thankfully

With a 2 min search I found a cyberpowerpc prebuilt for $700 that included a r7 5700 and rx 6700. And yes, you can absolutely get 60 fps at 1080p on some aaa titles; I don't know where you get that idea you can't, especially if you can tweak graphics settings (for the record, most pc gamers don't even use ultra- high and medium presets are the most reasonable settings). I'm sure a title like Diablo 4 doesn't require tuning at 1080p at all.

I think a big problem we don't want to address is now that we're so interconnected, internet access is a necessity that should be classified as a utility. You can't just cut off someone's electricity without notification or process because they did something bad with it and it should apply here too

IMO the problem is not that you can't block them but tooling. It is true that with the appropriate tools and work you can farm the data yourself and get everyone's votes, but realistically most people aren't going to go out of their way to do that. I see no reason why this would make lemmy better and instead just gives ammunition to bad actors. The poster above you is asking why we need to do more things to avoid bad actors as an effect of the change instead of avoiding that outcome. We know there will be bad actors, but we don't need to make things easy for them. Maybe you were never gonna stop the guy willing to make an instance and look through all your votes, but you'd stop all the ones who wouldn't be willing to put in the effort.
