"RING Doorbell Gives Private Video To Police | Privacy Scandal"
good morning and heads up:
Gargron wants to disable custom emoji in account display names because people fleeing Twitter complain about
when they realize anyone can fake it.
*all* custom emoji in display names, because it'd be impractical to just disable
and Unicode visual lookalikes such as ✔️☑️✅√ and friends. that includes pride flags, and you know, i was *just talking* about the history of Fediverse contributions from people who might fly pride flags <https://demon.social/@vyr/110118781991020640/embed>, but i've also seen custom emoji used in display names to mark programming languages, games, all sorts of communities…
*and* he likes to remind people that Mastodon™ is Trademarked, and Licensed, and thus customizing it to not do that would be forbidden:

Free Software is not some socialist utopia, but rather is really more a demonstration of free market capitalist when you eliminate copyright law (despite it being dependent on it). The GPL can best be described as a hack on copyright to do the opposite of what copyright law was intended to do (aka restrict distribution for the benefit and profit of a tiny minority, even though that isn't how it was sold to the public). There is competition within the system explicitly because a monopoly on distribution doesn't exist with free software, and rather because of this collaboration to one degree or another is more benefiting than not. However there remain dictators of projects. When more collaborative eendeavors are successful they compete with more doctorial ones. Often it is a combination of that which results in free software thriving. Socialism can work at a small scale to one degree or another, but libertarian free market values are what ensure the best thing can happen independent of any one person or projects particular political preferences. In other words we have both successful collaborative projects like LibreOffice AND more dictatorial ones like Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux of which compete with more collaborative ones such as Debian and each other and to one degree or another even collaborate with each other or at least utilize each others works. Even where one project is overall superior often another can find a nitch and be successful too. libreCMC vs OpenWRT (not saying one is better here, just that one has a nitch and both have been successful over the long term). Same basic code base, some number of important changes.
