schestowitzHere's the question I have in my mind; Does getting a local webhost count as self-hosting? Because that's what I currently have. Sure, I could export it all and put it at home on dynamic IP and there are services like No-IP out there, which work until Microsoft sabotages them. Also, ISPs are not terribly happy with hosting from home; not only do they limit upload speeds but some of them outright ban the practice.Aug 14 15:20

schestowitzIt’s come out recently that oil companies created the denial PR firms that tobacco companies used. We know tobacco companies did detailed customer studies and used identity marketing. We should imagine that oil companies kept up with the advances made by tobacco people. I imagine they worked with the automobile industry to push gas guzzling life styles. Denial works best when you make the product part of the target’s identity.Aug 15 06:30
schestowitzThey certainly knew about global warming and denied it. We know they funded crank denial organizations. We also know their scientists knew about global warming in the 1970’s and considered it a problem that prevented the mining of methane ice.Aug 15 06:30

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Intuition says mobile phones higher #cancer risk than Wi-Fi because of signal intensity/range and proximity to brain when used. #radiationAug 16 08:29
schestowitz"What is the total output of the transmitter on a cell phone vs. wifi?"Aug 16 08:29
schestowitz"Aug 16 08:31
schestowitzThe question is also: How much transmission power is actually required? Cell base stations can use more sensitive antennas (larger in size, more in number) and better amplifiers (more expensive) than the usual 50$ home wifi router can employ for its wireless equipment. So the mobile phone doesn’t need to transmit at the same power to get to the base as a laptop needs to be seen by its cheap wifi router.Aug 16 08:31
schestowitzNext question is about transfers running while the phone is in a pocket with possibly less good of a signal and higher transmission energy. What then?Aug 16 08:31
schestowitzIntuition might say mobile phones introduce a higher risk of cancer. But intuition can be wrong. Very wrong.Aug 16 08:31
schestowitzWhile at it: What about cordless phones at home? DECT is known to be worse about transmission energy than GSM. Microwave ovens? Gaming consoles? Wireless keyboards, mice, gaming controllers? The softeners in those oh-so-great-cheap plastic bottles? Phone radiation has to penetrate the skin, the skull and then still cause cancer in brain tissue. The chemicals we ingest daily are brought there for free by blood circulation.Aug 16 08:31
schestowitzMaybe mobile phones pose a risk. How about solving the risks we actually know are there first?Aug 16 08:31
schestowitz"Aug 16 08:31
schestowitzI heard these arguments before, but when dealing with people who use a  mobile phone for over an hour a day, no doubt there's increased risk that's higher than most others, unless they live near ChernobylAug 16 08:32

schestowitz@tzafrir is right, though. He’s right. I actually came to appreciate the openness of Intel PCs. I can, in fact, install any OS on an Intel PC. Well, Microsoft is bribing computer part manufacturers to make it difficult to install anything else than Windows, but thanks to the openness of Intel, we can still manage to install any OS. The PCs made by Intel are powerful enough to just execute instructions without questioning their origin orAug 18 20:04

schestowitzI have actually used at least two machines with a 74181 ALU. The PDP-11, back in the day, used the 74181. Of course, it also had register files, address generators, and an instruction set. We had a circuit diagram for the processor board and you could get replacement parts. In the days of SSI and MSI, there was no part of the processor that could not be understood and/or replaced.Aug 18 20:07
schestowitzThe other thing was a DeAnza image processing machine, I can’t recall the model number. You could add, or XOR, images, or do any of 14 other operations (most of which were not very useful), and it used the 74181 bit slice ALU. One of the parameters to an image operation was the 4-bit function code for the ALU.Aug 18 20:07

schestowitz"Aug 18 20:21
schestowitzAs said: There are a number of other sources of ionizing radiation around and it seems nobody cares about them as much as with mobile phones - apparently b/c nobody sees “the other end” and this dictates intuitively(!) that there must be a lot of output power (as with analog radio) - which is simply not true.Aug 18 20:21
schestowitzAs for your previous post (higher risk of cancer in lab rats): Right. Lab rats. Those who are ancestors to pet rats which rarely survive more than half a year without developing some kind of tumor somewhere inside their body (which was intentional for cancer research). And there’s a significantly higher number of tumors with cell phone radiation - on what base? An hour of voice transmission? An hour of LTE (did they put the necessary Aug 18 20:21
schestowitzdistance to “use it like a Smombie” between the transmitter and the poor animal)? And did they account for changes in distance to the base station, roaming, in-house (ah, no, not happening in-house, there’s wifi around, there) and on-the-road signal strengths?Aug 18 20:21
schestowitzYes. Using a smartphone for more than an hour a day increases risk of death. By being run over by a bus because nobody cares where he’s walking when looking at his phone. Kind of a form of cancer, yep. sighAug 18 20:21

schestowitzThis, most certainly, is not the fight on which to sacrifice Mozilla. The industry was going to implement it regardless of Mozilla's action, and taking a stand in this issue would not have changed anything other than diminishing Mozilla's influence.Aug 18 20:55
schestowitzIf we are going to encourage and deride people to fall in their own swords, I'd like to think we have some reasoning behind it, rather than pure idealism. Ideally, Mozilla would have been able to not implement the DRM, but this isn't an ideal world. There are still many battles we need to fight, and to sacrifice Mozilla for a single ideal, when we need them for the long term fight, is shortsighted.Aug 18 20:55

schestowitzHonestly, if the destruction of Mozilla as an entity would have had an effect on the uptake of web DRM, I would be much more conflicted on the matter. It's very easy to point to an event like this, one where you could trade an ally for no gain, and say "no way". It's much harder, for me, to point to a situation where there is more parity between give and take and say this is the course of action.Aug 18 20:56
schestowitzMy line is fairly simple, but it's not any particular issue: does the sum of what we lose outweigh the sum of what we gain? I believe that, had Mozilla done this, they would have thrown away their position for literally no gain.Aug 18 20:56

schestowitzThe problem is twice removed from Mozilla. If you really want to attack this problem, become a TV show producer and don't demand DRM when you negotiate with content distributors or refuse to consume media produced by companies that demand DRM.Aug 18 20:56
schestowitzApple (iTunes) had to become much much bigger (market power wise. Customer base wise) than the record labels before they could demand no DRM. Neither Netflix nor Mozilla are bigger than HBO or Disney to be able to make those kinds of demands. Netflix is still struggling just to keep its prices down.

schestowitz"Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzIt's not a battle that can be won on a single level. Defaults shape the world, and Mozilla has a responsibility when they make DRM available so easily to the extend that non-savvy users don't even notice it is happening, and aren't made aware of the risks. It is the same reason we do not endorse distributions that silently install proprietary software, without even as much as a warning.Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzIt is dishonest to claim that the users approve of DRM, when they don't know it's there. And even those who know about DRM and they still use it, they almost never prefer DRM'ed versions over DRM-free versions - DRM is not a selling point.Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzYes, I agree. There should also be boycott of DRM users, and support for DRM-free works. But that's not enough. There should be awareness, there should be protests, there should be organisations with principles throwing their aggregated power in defense of the individual users who are pressured to conform, because they cannot boycott everything that is unethical (voting with your money implies that your vote is proportional to the amount Aug 18 20:57

schestowitz    Some comprises must be made in order to even compete in the market place.Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzThat's the problem with the rigid belief that market forces will sort out everything. Sometimes principles don't make financial sense. It makes way more market sense to manipulate search results than to lose the Mainland Chinese market. It makes more market sense to join PRISM than to be driven out of the US market. It makes more market sense to ship DRM than to stick with the (idealistic, sure) community that you previously built. God Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzknows I wasn't born a Firefox user. I switched to Firefox because it had a manifesto for openness. For every user who ditched Firefox those last two years because they value Netflix more, there's a non-zero fraction of a user who stayed with Firefox because they trusted Mozilla's manifesto. It's truly sad to see Mozilla chasing after the bigger number, instead of valuing those who stick with them because of shared principles.Aug 18 20:57

schestowitz"I think like another commenter pointed out that martyring Mozilla just isn't going to make things better. At least consider that moving away from Flash and Silverlight to HTML5 is a win in itself. It's a step forward.

schestowitzOur philosophies on how to struggle do differ. I believe that more concessions are gained when we demand everything and we are willing to stand our ground.

schestowitzNormalising DRM by making it required for HTML5 compliant browsers emboldens other publishers who also want DRM to become legally required for their content. See the escalating war between users and websites who use Malware Delivery Networks (3rd-party/tracking web ads). When people are okay with their browser using the force of law (DMCA) for video content, what will stop them from demanding that whole websites will require a DRM module Aug 18 20:58

schestowitzGetting rid of DRM is not a personal issue. Anyone could avoid watching Netflix and the like. I do it successfully since forever. But a) its popularity, b) its sanctioning from supposedly good people like W3C and Mozilla, and c) it's legal backing by governments is shaping the society.

schestowitzDRM sucks, but most people are idiots. All that will happen if DRM gets removed from Firefox is that it will become completely irrelevant soon, developers might jump off and it won't be able to keep up with emerging web standards, OS changes or whatever requires maintenance (also say goodbye to a ton of extensions).

schestowitzFor someone who believes in democracy, you sure don't hold the demos in high esteem. How do you reconcile those two positions?Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzFor one, I don't think that people are stupid. We see people try and reclaim control of their computing constantly, but they are faced with structural constraints and very few of them are ready to go "off-the-grid" so to speak. And that's to be expected, when a piece of code has the threat of government violence behind it (DMCA), when at worst, it should have been a dispute between a customer and a provider.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitz    If people don't want DRM they will not use it.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzThat is a fallacy. The market is never "free", the market is always rigged by those who make the rules, and in this case, that's the publishers. They legislated their way into monopoly, stopping anyone else from providing competing at providing the same service. Their monopoly is literally becoming a web standard, mandated from above (W3C). You don't get to pass that as a "free market decision" or "democracy", because we obviously never Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzgot to debate the merits and demerits of DRM, nor to vote on whether it should be required for standard-compliant browsers. The decision was taken under duress: "we have almost all the content you want to watch, and we are not giving you access unless you surrender control of your browser to us - and we are not negotiating the technical details of how we control your browser either".Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzI don't consider that democracy. And yes, Mozilla's compromise is shameful and ignores the reality of the struggle. We got rid of DRM once before goddamit. When MP3 sales became a thing, DRM was defeated within years. We had the advantage and we let it slide away.Aug 18 20:58

By the time they decide to ask for DRM in text, we would have already accepted DRM in music (again), in video, in text on mobile devices (ebooks), in software, in bootloaders, on coffee machines, on car engines, in "smart" home devices and Aug 18 20:59

schestowitz    Then disable it.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzAll I'm doing at that point is inconveniencing myself. I would be better off switching to a different browser that doesn't support it in the first place, like Palemoon (which does offer a Linux version, as I learned this morning).Aug 18 20:59

schestowitz"Seems like a very slippery slope. People like you rationalized the EXACT same thing about unsigned extensions, and look where we're at now."Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Isn't SeaMonkey already this fork?"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Fork it yourself"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"You could just disable it. There's also free software forks of Firefox, but they don't keep up all that much iirc.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzYes, but how long until they start protecting text on web pages too? (some sites already try to do this and it does fuck up screen readers). If its done with a DRM module, it will make reading the text with a free screen reader like Orca impossible, because Orca is not DRM malware compliant.Aug 18 20:59

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.asus-zenfone.com | Asus Zenfone Blog News, Tips, Tutorial, Download and ROMAug 18 20:59
schestowitzNotice that you can't highlight or select the text, which means that a screen reader can't read it. Its not a graphic, they just use scripting to block such functionality.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzThe content industry already used these measures to discriminate against handicapped people, when Amazon was compelled to introduce a feature into the Kindles, which would arbitrarily block the text-to-speech function for books if the Nazi publishers decided to do so.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzGet that DRM malware out of the browser. If its installed by default, it is more likely to be used. And if its used, it will cause problems for people who don't toe the line and pay $100 extra for a TV that is compliant with the HDCP flavour of the month, or who don't pay $900 for a proprietary screen reader, because its the only screen reader that is allowed to read the data.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzAnd if you think I'm joking about $900 screen readers, look up Jaws For Windows.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Aug 18 21:00
schestowitz"Aug 18 21:00
schestowitzSure they can, understanding the web has nothing to do with supporting DRM or using a browser that enforces it. A browser foundation that supports DRM can totally teach people about servers, protocols, routing fabric and TCP/IP.Aug 18 21:00
schestowitzAlso holy editing Batman! The article looks like someone poured print blocks into a shotgun shell.Aug 18 21:00

schestowitzBill Gate’s war on “independent” publications continues to expand. Facebook’s relevance engine is the ultimate expression of control of the web.

schestowitzHere's the question I have in my mind; Does getting a local webhost count as self-hosting? Because that's what I currently have. Sure, I could export it all and put it at home on dynamic IP and there are services like No-IP out there, which work until Microsoft sabotages them. Also, ISPs are not terribly happy with hosting from home; not only do they limit upload speeds but some of them outright ban the practice.Aug 14 15:20

schestowitz    I have tried numerous times to work with the Administration to stop the United States from assisting Saudi Arabia in their indiscriminate killing of civilians in Yemen. But when Saudi Arabia continues to kill civilians, and in this case children, enough is enough. Having served on active duty, one of my responsibilities was to teach the Law of War. I am also a graduate of Air War College. The indiscriminate civilian killings by Saudi Aug 18 19:46
schestowitzArabia look like war crimes to me. In this case, children as young as 8 were killed by Saudi Arabian air strikes. By assisting Saudi Arabia, the United States is aiding and abetting what appears to be war crimes in Yemen. The Administration must stop enabling this madness now.Aug 18 19:46

schestowitzI don’t know how the other exploits are working and thus will not say there aren’t any other means to get into firewalls, routers, switches or other things, but with this specific exploit it is clear how to protect oneself even without a patch from Cisco.

schestowitz@tzafrir is right, though. He’s right. I actually came to appreciate the openness of Intel PCs. I can, in fact, install any OS on an Intel PC. Well, Microsoft is bribing computer part manufacturers to make it difficult to install anything else than Windows, but thanks to the openness of Intel, we can still manage to install any OS. The PCs made by Intel are powerful enough to just execute instructions without questioning their origin orAug 18 20:04

schestowitzIntel PCs not only do not discriminate, it also encourages other manufacturers to put in backdoors in their hardware. For example manufacturers are allowed to bring in their own backdoors in form of UEFI. So Intel PCs are ethical, in that it does not try to create a monopoly.Aug 18 20:04

schestowitzThanks, prep. I feel the same. What the fuck do you need all teh performancez for, anyway? People are doing nothing but browse fucking facebook and bitch about computer being slow. Well, maybe they shouldn’t be running an OS within an OS (“modern” web browser), maybe then it would be “faster”.

schestowitztzafrir, I am not sure that FPGA boards won’t have some chips on them aimed for providing backdoors and surveillance. even now, usually the representation you get to “flash” the board is in closed, proprietary format nobody knows.Aug 18 20:06
schestowitzYears ago, Wirth, who designed his own language for hardware design, it’s called Lola, he contacted one of the manufacturers, and the manufacturer provided the standard with many papers that they have no right to disclose the information, and it took long time.Aug 18 20:06
schestowitzThat is why now he changed the compiler to generate Verilog as an abstraction layer.Aug 18 20:06
schestowitzThen you can copy paste the verilog to the manufacturer’s verilog editor and “compile” it.Aug 18 20:06
schestowitzThe same Wirth now have designed his own RISC cpu, and he mentions several reasons, among them that he does not like the design of the most cpu’s available on the market, and because today surveillance reached the state you would like to have your own computer and cpu in hardware.Aug 18 20:06
schestowitzThere is, by the way, so called RISC-V cpu, it’s open, but there is no board to be used as a personal computer. I know one guy from IRC chat room who designs his own personal computer, but he stiil has a lot to do.Aug 18 20:06

schestowitzI have actually used at least two machines with a 74181 ALU. The PDP-11, back in the day, used the 74181. Of course, it also had register files, address generators, and an instruction set. We had a circuit diagram for the processor board and you could get replacement parts. In the days of SSI and MSI, there was no part of the processor that could not be understood and/or replaced.Aug 18 20:07
schestowitzThe other thing was a DeAnza image processing machine, I can’t recall the model number. You could add, or XOR, images, or do any of 14 other operations (most of which were not very useful), and it used the 74181 bit slice ALU. One of the parameters to an image operation was the 4-bit function code for the ALU.Aug 18 20:07
schestowitzNow, you not only can’t get a circuit diagram (which would be umm, large), you can’t get more than a vague suggestion of the components inside your SoC. Nor will they give you source code for the blobs in it. As far as I know, the Russians don’t hand out that information either, though I think it might give them a selling point if they wanted to market their wares.Aug 18 20:07

schestowitzThe slogan Intel Inside is part of what brought Intel to the public attention in the first place. This was at a time when they mostly dominated the market, but consumers were not aware of them. The Intel Inside mark made consumers aware of them.Aug 18 20:07
schestowitzThat said, they had competition, because there were originally three other licensees of the instruction set from IBM (AMD, Cyrix and NextGen). Eventually Via bought Cyrix and NexGen. For a while at the time there was healthy competition in that market.Aug 18 20:07
schestowitzRight now Intel are in a great troubles because the PC market is not large enough and they so far failed to gain much of the tablets and phone market.Aug 18 20:07

schestowitzAs said: There are a number of other sources of ionizing radiation around and it seems nobody cares about them as much as with mobile phones - apparently b/c nobody sees “the other end” and this dictates intuitively(!) that there must be a lot of output power (as with analog radio) - which is simply not true.Aug 18 20:21
schestowitzAs for your previous post (higher risk of cancer in lab rats): Right. Lab rats. Those who are ancestors to pet rats which rarely survive more than half a year without developing some kind of tumor somewhere inside their body (which was intentional for cancer research). And there’s a significantly higher number of tumors with cell phone radiation - on what base? An hour of voice transmission? An hour of LTE (did they put the necessary Aug 18 20:21
schestowitzdistance to “use it like a Smombie” between the transmitter and the poor animal)? And did they account for changes in distance to the base station, roaming, in-house (ah, no, not happening in-house, there’s wifi around, there) and on-the-road signal strengths?Aug 18 20:21
schestowitzYes. Using a smartphone for more than an hour a day increases risk of death. By being run over by a bus because nobody cares where he’s walking when looking at his phone. Kind of a form of cancer, yep. sighAug 18 20:21

schestowitzI will hesitantly posit that the point at which we should fall on our own swords is much like pornography - i can't define it, but I know it when I see it.Aug 18 20:55
schestowitzThis, most certainly, is not the fight on which to sacrifice Mozilla. The industry was going to implement it regardless of Mozilla's action, and taking a stand in this issue would not have changed anything other than diminishing Mozilla's influence.Aug 18 20:55
schestowitzIf we are going to encourage and deride people to fall in their own swords, I'd like to think we have some reasoning behind it, rather than pure idealism. Ideally, Mozilla would have been able to not implement the DRM, but this isn't an ideal world. There are still many battles we need to fight, and to sacrifice Mozilla for a single ideal, when we need them for the long term fight, is shortsighted.Aug 18 20:55
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:55
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:55
schestowitzFair enough. I don't see a way we could debate this, our approaches are too different. For me, it is simply not possible to trust a negotiator when they cannot clearly state what is the one line they aren't willing to cross.Aug 18 20:55
schestowitzI'm afraid that every year from now on we will have another small, inevitable hill that isn't worth for Mozilla to die on, until there's nothing left to fight for. And then we will cycle through the 1998-2004 events again.Aug 18 20:55

schestowitz"Aug 18 20:56
schestowitzMy line is admittedly nebulous, but for good reason, I believe - because there are a number of variables here.Aug 18 20:56
schestowitzHonestly, if the destruction of Mozilla as an entity would have had an effect on the uptake of web DRM, I would be much more conflicted on the matter. It's very easy to point to an event like this, one where you could trade an ally for no gain, and say "no way". It's much harder, for me, to point to a situation where there is more parity between give and take and say this is the course of action.Aug 18 20:56
schestowitzMy line is fairly simple, but it's not any particular issue: does the sum of what we lose outweigh the sum of what we gain? I believe that, had Mozilla done this, they would have thrown away their position for literally no gain.Aug 18 20:56
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:56
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:56
schestowitzThe problem is twice removed from Mozilla. If you really want to attack this problem, become a TV show producer and don't demand DRM when you negotiate with content distributors or refuse to consume media produced by companies that demand DRM.Aug 18 20:56
schestowitzApple (iTunes) had to become much much bigger (market power wise. Customer base wise) than the record labels before they could demand no DRM. Neither Netflix nor Mozilla are bigger than HBO or Disney to be able to make those kinds of demands. Netflix is still struggling just to keep its prices down. Rigid idealism will just kill the disrupters that we should be championing. Some comprises must be made in order to even compete in the Aug 18 20:56

schestowitz"Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzIt's not a battle that can be won on a single level. Defaults shape the world, and Mozilla has a responsibility when they make DRM available so easily to the extend that non-savvy users don't even notice it is happening, and aren't made aware of the risks. It is the same reason we do not endorse distributions that silently install proprietary software, without even as much as a warning.Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzIt is dishonest to claim that the users approve of DRM, when they don't know it's there. And even those who know about DRM and they still use it, they almost never prefer DRM'ed versions over DRM-free versions - DRM is not a selling point.Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzYes, I agree. There should also be boycott of DRM users, and support for DRM-free works. But that's not enough. There should be awareness, there should be protests, there should be organisations with principles throwing their aggregated power in defense of the individual users who are pressured to conform, because they cannot boycott everything that is unethical (voting with your money implies that your vote is proportional to the amount Aug 18 20:57

schestowitz    Some comprises must be made in order to even compete in the market place.Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzThat's the problem with the rigid belief that market forces will sort out everything. Sometimes principles don't make financial sense. It makes way more market sense to manipulate search results than to lose the Mainland Chinese market. It makes more market sense to join PRISM than to be driven out of the US market. It makes more market sense to ship DRM than to stick with the (idealistic, sure) community that you previously built. God Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzknows I wasn't born a Firefox user. I switched to Firefox because it had a manifesto for openness. For every user who ditched Firefox those last two years because they value Netflix more, there's a non-zero fraction of a user who stayed with Firefox because they trusted Mozilla's manifesto. It's truly sad to see Mozilla chasing after the bigger number, instead of valuing those who stick with them because of shared principles.Aug 18 20:57
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:57
schestowitz"I think like another commenter pointed out that martyring Mozilla just isn't going to make things better. At least consider that moving away from Flash and Silverlight to HTML5 is a win in itself. It's a step forward. All open source everything with no DRM is the most ideal sure, but an open browser using an open standard with DRM is still better than closed browsers with Flash and Silverlight and still DRM. We can't win every battle allAug 18 20:57
schestowitzat once. I think the HTML5 vs proprietary plugins battle is the important one to focus on right now and this is part of how we win that battle.'Aug 18 20:57

schestowitzAs I wrote in another comment, there's two positions here that will not be reconciled if we continue this back and forth. If anything, I am afraid it will easily devolve into a flame war if a troll shows up (so far I respect everyone who participated here, despite disagreement).Aug 18 20:57
schestowitzOur philosophies on how to struggle do differ. I believe that more concessions are gained when we demand everything and we are willing to stand our ground. Mozilla's way nowadays is different, although it wasn't always like that. Instead of DRM per-se, as a movement we should discuss strategy.Aug 18 20:57

schestowitzHere's the point where we need a fork of Firefox. If I wanted to run DRM code (which is malware that puts the needs of someone else over the needs of me), I would just run Windows.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzI don't give a rat's ass about Netflix. I will not use it. I do not want malware in the browser that dictates how I am allowed to consume content after someone sends it to me. Somebody, please fork Firefox now. I know that Pailmoon is a thing, but it is Windows only AFAIK.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzEDIT: forgot that criticizing Netflix is forbidden on Reddit. They might as well just start banning people who don't toe the line. Enjoy the web browser when publishers decide to start wrapping text in DRM, preventing you from reading it with a screen reader or printing it out to read offline. At least there will be Netflix support!Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzHere's an example of what I mean. http://www.asus-zenfone.com/Aug 18 20:58

schestowitz"Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzNormalising DRM by making it required for HTML5 compliant browsers emboldens other publishers who also want DRM to become legally required for their content. See the escalating war between users and websites who use Malware Delivery Networks (3rd-party/tracking web ads). When people are okay with their browser using the force of law (DMCA) for video content, what will stop them from demanding that whole websites will require a DRM module Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzto be rendered, so that you cannot modify their appearance client-side to block malware ads in say HTML 5.5?Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzGetting rid of DRM is not a personal issue. Anyone could avoid watching Netflix and the like. I do it successfully since forever. But a) its popularity, b) its sanctioning from supposedly good people like W3C and Mozilla, and c) it's legal backing by governments is shaping the society. Do you want to leave in a society where secret code runs in privileged modes and no one even complains about it?Aug 18 20:58
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:58
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzThe market will dictate who wins. If people don't want DRM they will not use it. If they are okay with it then it will spread. If it becomes commonplace everywhere and the majority people are okay with it or simply don't care then the society is obviously okay with it. That's democracy for you.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzDRM sucks, but most people are idiots. All that will happen if DRM gets removed from Firefox is that it will become completely irrelevant soon, developers might jump off and it won't be able to keep up with emerging web standards, OS changes or whatever requires maintenance (also say goodbye to a ton of extensions). Mozilla realized this long ago. See the comment by /u/DanielFore.Aug 18 20:58

schestowitz    That's democracy for you.Aug 18 20:58

schestowitzFor someone who believes in democracy, you sure don't hold the demos in high esteem. How do you reconcile those two positions?Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzFor one, I don't think that people are stupid. We see people try and reclaim control of their computing constantly, but they are faced with structural constraints and very few of them are ready to go "off-the-grid" so to speak. And that's to be expected, when a piece of code has the threat of government violence behind it (DMCA), when at worst, it should have been a dispute between a customer and a provider.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitz    If people don't want DRM they will not use it.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzThat is a fallacy. The market is never "free", the market is always rigged by those who make the rules, and in this case, that's the publishers. They legislated their way into monopoly, stopping anyone else from providing competing at providing the same service. Their monopoly is literally becoming a web standard, mandated from above (W3C). You don't get to pass that as a "free market decision" or "democracy", because we obviously never Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzgot to debate the merits and demerits of DRM, nor to vote on whether it should be required for standard-compliant browsers. The decision was taken under duress: "we have almost all the content you want to watch, and we are not giving you access unless you surrender control of your browser to us - and we are not negotiating the technical details of how we control your browser either".Aug 18 20:58
schestowitzI don't consider that democracy. And yes, Mozilla's compromise is shameful and ignores the reality of the struggle. We got rid of DRM once before goddamit. When MP3 sales became a thing, DRM was defeated within years. We had the advantage and we let it slide away.Aug 18 20:58
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:58
schestowitz"You never know what could happen with the rise of ad-blockers."Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzThe thing is that right now adblockers have it very easy. For one, right now they basically only have to deal with obfuscated HTML and CSS, which is nothing compared to DRM. For another, time after time courts have found that manipulating how an HTML document is rendered on your computer is not illegal, despite how many times newspapers are going to sue. But DRM on the other hand, that is illegal to circumvent even for research use.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzIf it comes to DRM for text, I don't think we can count on uBlock Origin to save us.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz'Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Yes this is why implementing DRM in browsers is a horrible idea and something we need to fight back against. On the other hand though, there's many users of older or unsupported devices and it might make websites lose too many visitors."Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzAs it stands now, yes, I agree, they are not going to all-out DRM text - it won't be tolerated.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzThe industry's strategy so far is basically salami tactics. By demanding only a small piece of their end goal each time, they attract less attention, and they get to downplay the opposition easily. By the time they decide to ask for DRM in text, we would have already accepted DRM in music (again), in video, in text on mobile devices (ebooks), in software, in bootloaders, on coffee machines, on car engines, in "smart" home devices and Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzinkjet printer cartridges. The societal pressure would be on you to get with the times, and use a modern device, instead of being a Luddite who insists on using a personal computer.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzAnd Mozilla of the near future will still say that this isn't a hill worth dying on, and that they need to live to fight for Open Web another day.Aug 18 20:59

schestowitz"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz    Then disable it.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzAll I'm doing at that point is inconveniencing myself. I would be better off switching to a different browser that doesn't support it in the first place, like Palemoon (which does offer a Linux version, as I learned this morning).Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz'Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Seems like a very slippery slope. People like you rationalized the EXACT same thing about unsigned extensions, and look where we're at now."Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Isn't SeaMonkey already this fork?"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Fork it yourself"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"You could just disable it. There's also free software forks of Firefox, but they don't keep up all that much iirc.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzYes, but how long until they start protecting text on web pages too? (some sites already try to do this and it does fuck up screen readers). If its done with a DRM module, it will make reading the text with a free screen reader like Orca impossible, because Orca is not DRM malware compliant.Aug 18 20:59

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.asus-zenfone.com | Asus Zenfone Blog News, Tips, Tutorial, Download and ROMAug 18 20:59
schestowitzNotice that you can't highlight or select the text, which means that a screen reader can't read it. Its not a graphic, they just use scripting to block such functionality.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzThe content industry already used these measures to discriminate against handicapped people, when Amazon was compelled to introduce a feature into the Kindles, which would arbitrarily block the text-to-speech function for books if the Nazi publishers decided to do so.Aug 18 20:59
schestowitzGet that DRM malware out of the browser. If its installed by default, it is more likely to be used. And if its used, it will cause problems for people who don't toe the line and pay $100 extra for a TV that is compliant with the HDCP flavour of the month, or who don't pay $900 for a proprietary screen reader, because its the only screen reader that is allowed to read the data.Aug 18 20:59

schestowitz"Aug 18 20:59
schestowitz"Aug 18 21:00
schestowitzSure they can, understanding the web has nothing to do with supporting DRM or using a browser that enforces it. A browser foundation that supports DRM can totally teach people about servers, protocols, routing fabric and TCP/IP.Aug 18 21:00
