Cross-seed is a big part of being able to sustain on mediocre upload. Download a torrent on one site but get credit on 7 different sites.

Alternatively many sites offer infinite download if you have a certain total size of torrents available. (Sometimes together with a account age requirement too). So get a permanently online torrent client (mini pc, seedbox, vps, etc) and you're set on those sites.

Not to mention they man-in-the-middle every site that's proxied through them. So that's clear text passwords for every login at a proxied site.

There's an extension for better discord that does pretty this.

They'd risk getting blocked in the UK if they did that. Sure users could get around that using a VPN, but not everyone uses one so in general that'd reduce their userbase and as such their revenue. Shareholders sure won't like that either.

Let's agree it's all just propaganda. For both sides.

I hate reddit as much as the other guy, but I'm not sure what other course of action they have if they are by law required to do this.

What this new law means for fediverse users and servers hosted in the UK is still to be found out.

Having data dependent on each other in a type means that either you have redundant data (so one of the fields should be computed) or that your container tries to be too generic (you should in this case prefer an 'Apple' class over a 'Fruit' class with an enum field 'Type')

It's actually a whole list of requirements. https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

I mean, not quite. There should be a split between backend (logic) and frontend (presentation) even for desktop applications. It's not mandatory, but simply much better design. The 'interface' with which your frontend code calls the backend is much like an API (as in an API is also an interface)

In Europe that used to be the case, but that changed not that long ago. Now providers are legally obligated to allow you to get your own modem

Because they're very different bottles (the cap on the milk I'm talking about combines the seal with the cap)
