This is the problem with the so-called "multipolar world". There aren't any other democratic poles. So - if you're a dissident or a whistleblower and you're too high-profile - you have nowhwere to go. Snowden has to live in Russia, because pretty much all Western countries would put him on the first plane to the USA if he ever tried to enter. My country extradites even our own citizens to the USA.

And then you get countries like France where they refuse to extradite probable child sex offenders.

They're Jewish.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Hmm, I would still say that Quebecois is French, but with some (maybe many) local words. Swiss-German is really a dialect (actually multiple dialects).

Weekend in Quebecois: Le fin du semaine Weekend in French: Le weekend

boyfriend in quebecois: chum

boyfriend in French: petit ami

it goes both ways you know. in practice I find quebecois much more infected by anglicism.

Technically Russia has bled a lot more to defeat Germany than the US but I guess you guys see History thru Call of Duty bullshit propaganda

Technically only because Russia treats it's troops like disposable cannon fodder and early in the war was sending 2 soldiers for every rifle with the instructions for the second guy to pick up the rifle when the first guy dies.

germans can't understand swiss german.

Pretty much doubt it.

As a German speaker that has worked in Zürich, the parent is correct.

Wikipedia has the following to say:

The dialects that comprise Swiss German must not be confused with Swiss Standard German, the variety of Standard German used in Switzerland. Swiss Standard German is fully understandable to all speakers of Standard German, while many people in Germany – especially in the north – do not understand Swiss German.

DMCA anti-circumvention provisions are regarding tools that circumvent effective access controls. I realize that broken encryption is considered an effective access control in this context despite it being broken, but apps like Newpipe aren't even breaking encryption, right? What aspect of the YouTube servers' behavior can be construed as an effective access control? Is there even a rudimentary secret, that never get…

> YouTube is free I'd argue that even YouTube users who aren't paying for premium are paying too, just with their personal data instead of state currency. But it's still an exchange of value. Which IIRC, is the whole reason Newpipe exists, to circumvent that exchange of value.

I pay for Google premium, but use NewPipe since it is better than the regular app in many ways.

> Micropayments will never be a thing Why not? I'd love to see something like "I donate xx CPU cycles upon viewing this content" or something. Computebis a resource, same with networking, and there's already a lot of them demanded by shitty ad platforms. I'd much rather donate those cycles to BOINC or hell, even ETH over ads

Isn't that just gating websites with crypto payments?

That would be gating websites with contributing to a crypto mining pool, although crypto microtransactions are indeed a way the web could evolve to handle non ad payments, and I'm surprised (but also kinda thankful) that the web 3.0 people never pushed that possibility.

Right now, I'm saying that compute is useful. If you've ever used BOINC or folding@home, you've seen the "download some data, do some work, upload the data" paradigm in action.

Idk. Right now, the only paradigms I'm seeing are "paywall, totally free, or sell your data" for accessing web content. I wish there was another alternative of "sell my computer" or "sell my bandwidth" (like maybe acting as a cache for can). I get those are easier to abuse, but I'd still love to at least see some content provider exploring such options.

Is that actually why RARBG was taken down? Because their notice did not mention that. The only reasons I’ve heard have been deaths, health issues/Covid, and the war in Ukraine

Sure, but the truth is they had no choice but to shut down after their life was made ever increasingly harder running a torrent website in a country where authorities were passing stricter anti-piracy laws and started going harder after pirates, after the US and the big movie and games studios started putting pressure on Bulgaria. Same thing happened in Romania a couple of years earlier where the original domain of t…

RARBG was not accessible from within Bulgaria. Most people haven’t even heard of it.
