Overly vague laws are never a good thing.

I kinda doubt you’d be able to write a law that would actually have the effect you’re looking for. In the case of what you just wrote, all YouTube would need to do is write into their ToS that by uploading to their platform you’ve given them explicit permission to alter the video for purposes of storage space or increasing/decreasing quality.

I’m down for a breakup but I don’t see how we could twist this into illegality.

It’s their own server, so they’d just… upload it.

If the user clicked a “generate me a share link” button, and the button also, without letting the user know prior to the button press, enables search indexing, that is indeed a leak.

They can afford the fines?

That site is talking about averages, assembly across the board. The person you’re talking to is explicitly talking about CS jobs, like software developer or system engineer.

You can’t really compare the two.

An HtML class ten years ago isn’t anything close to knowing how to program. It’s like saying “I wrote a bullet point lost years ago so I know how to write a novel.”

Windows 11 only comes in 64 bit flavors so this would be a weird feature to leave in place.

If your email provider doesn’t accept email@email.wtf is it then invalid?

Good god. I’m so sorry.

Nixon wasn’t speaking authoritatively there, I believe both he and M$ clarified that. And the “correlating” announcement was more “we will be continuously updating windows 10” unlike the assumed by many people to mean “perpetually” which is just silly.

You’re telling me you expected windows 10 to remain forever the last Windows version? Maybe if they decided to rename the OS moving forward.

I suppose you could take the stance of it just becoming versioned in the same way Linux distros are, but then you just get left being on an old version of Windows 10.

Why don’t we just throw Lemmy behind wireguard while we’re at it.

Literally anything can go behind a VPN. Doesn’t mean much at all. And the majority of those are commonly left on the open internet for friends and family, which would be annoying af to set up with WireGuard.

I have enough issues dealing with VPN issues in my professional life, I don’t want to have to deal with them in my personal life as well.

Seriously?

Plex, Jellyfin, VaultWarden, AdGuard, Home Assistant, GameVault, any flavor of pastebin, any flavor of wiki, and the list goes on.

If you’re feeling spicy throw whatever the hell you want onto a reverse proxy and put it behind a zero trust login.

The idea that opening up anything at all through to the open internet is “dumb” is antiquated. Are there likely concerns that need to be addressed? Absolutely. But don’t make blanket statements about virtually nothing belonging on the open internet.

This is very short sighted. I can think of dozens of things to put on the open internet that aren’t inherently public. The majority are things for sharing with multiple people you want to have logins for. As long as the exposed endpoints are secure, there’s no inherent problem.

No thank you.
