Allow vendors to completely control what apps run on your phone and banning websites and PWAs becomes trivial for them. Browsers are apps.

DRM is not free, somebody is getting paid to provide that DRM and they certainly don’t go unpaid if it doesn’t work.

Why would it be more difficult to maintain and update a complex system?

They don’t have to accept outsider contributions on their mainline nor employ less people to work on it.

You don’t get to redefine open source. It’s always been about giving the source code to whoever you give the software.

Making it publicly available is an acceptable alternative to fulfill that obligation.

Probably he also doesn’t like black people.

It takes years for it to spoil unless you put it in the sun or something. It’s why we use it to preserve stuff for millenia.

Does the law exclude sites that don’t violate your privacy? Is it limited to big sites like reddit or Facebook?

No, you answered this.(Emphasis mine). The guy might be scum but broken clock and all that.

Sure… we’d all be better off if only the Ottoman empire continued to exist forever!

With “Unironically yes”. This is what I am answering. The Ottoman empire continuing to exist and it’s effect on all of us, not just the Palestinians.

Of course there wouldn’t be an effect on you would there be? You have demonstrated you don’t actually care for any other peoples in the Ottoman empire’s grip but the Palestinians. Obviously you don’t actually care about them outside you political arguments.

I am not implying anything, I am straight out saying it, for most non-Turks life is better than it would have been under the Ottoman empire.

The genocides started before the end if the empire and they also did not come out of nowhere. Trying to counter my older post via an edit with such inaccuracies is pathetic.

The genocides happening at the tail end of the empire does not really help your case that we would be better off if it wasn’t killed off. It’s far more compelling evidence of what the empire would do than if the genocides happened centuries before.

Tldr: Less people have suffered than they would have if the Ottoman empire survived. The Palestinians are an exception.

Compare what? Casualties of the genocides committed by Turkey vs the Israeli one? I won’t do that and it’s not because the numbers won’t favor me, it’s dehumanizing.

For my people it’s much better now, even if compared to calmer periods of Ottoman history. The same applies to a lot of peoples that were part off the Ottoman empire. Palestinians are unlucky to be subjects of another genocidal regime.

Have you ever discussed with a national of a country that was part of the Ottoman empire (Turkey excluded for obvious reason) that wanted the Ottoman empire back? How exactly did you come to the conclusion that what the Middle East needs is the Ottomans back? Did you read any of the history of the peoples oppressed by it?

??? More than a million each dead of Armenians and Greeks, successfull ethnic cleansing of Asia Minor of said minorities.

I understand that you are not from a region occupied by the Ottoman empire and you have a simplistic mindview of Muslim’s always good, Christians always bad. However saying the Ottoman empire should not have fallen is deeply offensive, certainly in the Balkans and I would wager in the Levante as well. The Arabs did rebel against them after all. With British support, just like every rebellion tries to get outside support.

So Armenian and Greek genocides did not happen? Do you think life was great for non Turks/Muslims before that? There were no massacres of Christians?

Yiu should get of .world, they are one of the pro Israel instances.

People are generally not obligated to employ someone. It still is an issue if they decide to fire someone because of their race.

*δύσκολο Συγγραφή would be used to describe authoring a book. You could use γραφή or γράψιμο or a verb construction να γράφεις “to write”.

It’s not overcorrection, they simply learned the wrong lesson from WW2: “Don’t mess with the Jewish” instead of “Don’t be pro genocide.” It’s also been a long time since then and the consequences they suffered.

They most certainly have this covered in ToS. IP law is not about actual creators’ rights.

Not sure since I don’t use a VPN. If they assigned a unique public IP per user they could just forward every incoming connection to the user’s PC.

If they don’t they need to setup some port forwarding rules.

If openVPN leaks IPs that’s surely a bug, if it’s specific to v6 you can’t use openVPN and IPv6 till the bug is fixed

Port forwarding is necessary due to NAT not firewalls.

It’s not that your router blocks new incoming connections at port X, it’s that it does not know which local client it’s meant for, since it’s addressed to the public IP that is held by your router.

With IP6 it’s lan client also gets assigned a public IP6 address (as there are plenty) and so the router receives a connection addressed to a Lan client and knows where to route it.

Torrents aren’t a piracy technology. A lot of Linux distros, especially non corp backed, are distributed via torrents since its more efficient.
