Wait till you hear about the idiots who unironically make that argument for banning Bitcoin too

Framework

Copying is not theft. Letting only massive and notoriously untransparent corporations control an emerging technology is.

Accessing printers? Resolving hostnames of internal hosts? I can't imagine having a lan without mDNS

I don't think it's quite as simple as someone just forking it. Realistically, a browser is an extremely complex piece of software that requires a lot of organizational effort to maintain, deal with security issues, etc. Pretty much every other piece of software on a similar scale I can think of (the kernel, KDE, Blender, Libreoffice) has some sort of organization behind it with at least some amount of officially paid work. All the major forks of Firefox or chromium follow quite closely to upstream for this reason (which is also why I'm skeptical of Brave's ability to maintain manifest v2 long term, despite their probably genuine best efforts to do so).

I do wish that Firefox were developed and funded by an organization specifically dedicated to developing it. This could of course happen if Mozilla dies. But that's going to require someone starting it, which is not at all a small or cheap task.

I could also see a future where Oracle or IBM buys it 😂🤡

A year ago, the majority of Lemmy was vehemently in support of banning porn

It is based on the assumption that every piece of code in the entire stack from the UEFI firmware to the operating system userspace is free of vulnerabilities

Whenever I want to pirate something I just go straight to btdig. And if there's no torrent and I really need to search the web, I've had much better luck with Yandex. I figure they're more resistant to takedowns from western corporations

They're already trying. Payment processors and big banks are increasingly refusing to do business with porn companies, and even sites that host nsfw artwork with no actual participants.

I'm pretty sure there's nearly zero overlap between Monero users/people who actually use cryptocurrency as payment and "crypto bros" (those who use Bitcoin and shitcoins as investments)

This would not be the default behavior of yt-dlp. Run yt-dlp -vF <video> to view the sort order used. Acodec should come before abr.

It used to be the behavior of the original youtube-dl, however.
