World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If you want Domain Names to be unique, you need some organ to coordinate that. Doesn't have to be about permission, but if I use the same name as someone else, the URI is no longer U and loses all value.
That doesn't have to be about permission. Ideally, any unclaimed domain could be claimed by anyone (with a possible exception for things like important government domains). You'd just need some organisation to keep a registry and mediate disputes when someone tries to claim that your domain is theirs and they'd like to have it redirect to their site.
I can't read their minds and haven'tread his book, but I'd say the rest makes it sound like they want to democratise it and harden it against corporate control. Why, do you have any indication to the contrary or are you just throwing accusations?
Isn't that basically an implementation issue? Like, sure, text isn't ideal for people who can't read, but that hardly precludes using it to encode information that some other tools could turn into non-visual formats, nor does it prevent the development of other protocols designed for different content forms than text, as I'm sure you're aware.
I know I had to learn a whole course about web content accessibility guidelines to make it as easy as possible for people with cognitive, visual or motoric impairments to navigate and use websites, including accommodation for tools like screen readers, making sure table columns and headers are unambiguously associated (even with things like floating headers when you scroll).
It's not like the medium is actively hostile to blind people. It's just that a discrete data storage and transmission formats lend themselves well to discrete information like symbols. I don't know what more you would have expected of him.
Again, I'm not sure that's an issue on part of the Web. Yes, HTTP by itself has no encryption (which HTTPS added later) or obfuscation of sender and recipient (which is a routing issue, not a content one), and DNS isn't immune to censorship by providers selectively refusing to resolve certain domains they want to see blocked. At some level, there will always be the human factor.
But you're just sounding like "He didn't perfectly account for everything, so he's an elitist fuck who hates freedom". By that metric, literally every human is a piece of shit, because none of us are perfect, which makes it a useless metric.
Okay now you're taking the piss.
Idk, how should I know? But also, why would he need one? Is using one particular service a requirement for championing its cause? Should he have one just to show it off?
Or should he, you know, spend his time and energy trying to raise awareness and devising a way to unfuck things, however and whyever it got fucked up?
Or is he nor pure enough?
