Read the thread in full, it’s much worse than The Verge makes it out to be - that was actually one of my contentions with this article when posting.
I don’t think this take is accurate at all. Her actions in that thread appear (to me) entirely as a result of her environment, and honestly there is no basis for the idea she is not of sound mind. The victim blaming is really offputting.
If they’re true, it’s more than likely this kind of abuse was happening throughout the organization and continued up until these allegations, so I’m glad she came out with them.
Fortunately, they don’t need to! There are dozens of small open instances, and joining any of them helps the current centralization situation.
The more I look at this, the more I doubt an AI was involved. Too many aspects of the clothing, body, etc are just way too consistent.

tl;dr: Customer Content encompasses all data originating from your machine sent to Zoom servers.
It never is by default. In fact, they got in a bit of a fiasco early on (before their current E2EE implementation) for using the term “end to end encrypted” after it was revealed they were simply referring to TLS.
It’s worth noting that KaiOS, a fork of Firefox OS, has been successful - particularly in developing markets.
You’re correct, I mistakenly copied the wrong section. (Posted this from my phone)
Fixed!
We’ve already seen this play out in several countries where web blocking is widely implemented (eg Russia, China.) People (generally) flock to state-endorsed alternatives rather than going through the effort of finding bypasses.
(As an aside, Chrome would probably comply with it. It’d be a lot more damaging for them than smaller browsers to block the entirety of France.)
Do you genuinely believe an average computer user, when presented with a block page, would attempt to circumvent it?
Maybe a small minority would, but overall I find it extremely unlikely. It takes a lot less effort to just download an alternative.
Theoretically yes, but I’d think that would just result in users switching to browsers which do comply with the law (Chrome, probably)
Hello fellow Minnesotans!
I don’t get your 1st issue. That statement was based on statistics offered throughout the blurb. Are you claiming those statistics are wrong or inherently racist?
I’m aware of the original comment. I also agree that Lemmy can’t be referred to as self hosted in the same way that Plex can, for example. I simply think they meant to say “can be” self hosted instead of “is”.
As far as I know, they never claimed Lemmy was entirely self-hosted. Their intention was likely to say it can be, in which case decentralized would’ve been more clear…
I’m hosting and using my own instance personally, but the important part is that it’s decentralized and federated. Think of it like email - businesses often have their own email servers they use to communicate with yours, unlike on Facebook or Reddit where all of it happens on their servers.
No, like the peanut butter brand Jif.
