It sounds like the regulation is weak enough that the manufacturers won’t have to do much. I have to say batteries or chargers have gotten better. Batteries used to fail all the time, but they last much longer now. So people are less bothered.
Saveclick: this is about Lore Harp of Vector Graphics, a 1980s microcomputer company.
Hdds were a fad, I’m waiting for the return of tape drives. 500TB on a $20 cartridge and I can live with the 2 minute seek time.
The_Donald, I guess. It was eventually banned.
Maybe like 4chan. No usernames, just a big mix, to make surveillance more difficult. There might be some ephemeral tracking (data retained no more than 5 minutes) to separate the participants in threaded conversations and to throttle stuff like spam floods. With luck the locality requirement would be enough to stop it turning from a 4chan-like cesspit. I didn’t know about imageboard systems when they were happening and before they became awful, but they sound in retrospect like they were cool as hell, better than what we have now.
I’ve used nextcloud for this but it’s not great. I’m sure there are better alternatives.
Command line mplayer has been plenty for me.
I looked at the blurb for this and yawned. Other stuff from Humble has varied from great to crap.
I still say 4chan was ahead of its time. No handles, just a big mix of unknowns.

Don’t forget Prokofiev writing the theme music and Eisenstein shooting the YouTube video.
They are from lemmynsfw.com which in practice is mostly only fans. I haven’t figured out how to block the instance.
I didn’t know that word.

Instead of quibbling over the exact demarcation of selling data, they should stop whatever it is they are doing that could possibly be construed that way. Really, why are they even collecting the data? They have to collect it before they can sell it, and they shouldn’t collect it in the first place.
Then there is that TOU gives an insane picture of what they think their role is when you use a browser. I don’t feel like finding and pasting the words, but really their role in the process is they supply the browser and you use it. They should acknowledge that instead of pretending otherwise.
The company doesn’t need to grow. It needs to roll back its original sin and become a user advocacy organization.
IDK, I’m here on Lemmy basically as a refugee from Reddit, but the federation angle doesn’t seem to help much from what I can tell. Look at how fast Bluesky overtook Mastodon. Anyway, anyone putting up new fanfic servers without understanding the politics and drama behind the existing ones is probably in for some pain. There used to be a saying “you’re looking for a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem”.
Why would you want that? What is the attraction? “Federate all the things” isn’t really an answer. Why would authors or readers prefer it over AO3?
