I somehow just learned about the IETF's "Privacy Pass" working group, along with Google and Apple's respective implementations ("Private State Tokens", "Private Access Tokens"), and I'm so damn tired of DRM being the answer to everything.
Mozilla wrote a blog post in December of 2023 about why they decided not to implement it:
The whole idea of DRM doesn't work, people will always find a way to rip content. DRM in games makes them slower than pirated versions that removed it, so pirates have a better experience,
I think the quote "piracy is a service problem" from Gabe Newell is the best way to think about the problem. Find ways to improve your service or loose against the people who steal your content.
I'm not defending piracy here. Just saying that DRM is not the solution.
Takedown requests and legal actions against distributors should be sufficient. And also being transparent with consumers and asking them to pay for your stuff to support you. Maybe sell merchandise.
I guess with streaming services there is not that much money anymore in movie or music sales anyway.
so they maybe want to break custom operating systems or make them illegal?
I imagine some dystopia where you can only live in society if you have a phone with google play services that waste your battery and probably spies on you to sell your usage data... No thanks...

The voice of Darth Vader, from 1977 to The Rise of Skywalker, is gone. The narrator of Judge Dredd (1995) was also in Dr. Strangelove, SG-1, Conan, The Great White Hope, The Lion King, The Hunt for Red October, and so many classics.

Selfish newborn parents get called out for insisting on 2-week adults-only Italy vacation only four months after their baby is born and asking family to babysit: 'All she looked forward to during the pregnancy was her trip to Italy': Every parent needs a break now and then. Raising kids is no walk in the park, and often it takes help (and at least the occasional good night's sleep) to be the best mom or dad that you can possibly be. On the other hand, it is important to be strategic about when…

A couple of weeks ago, the Biden-Harris Administration invested over $240M in updating building energy codes across the country.
The investment is expected to save home and business owners $138B in utility costs.

The Calif. warehouses that resell Costco, Target items for cheap ("...$800 billion worth of inventory is returned in the U.S. each year, creating a “crisis” of epic proportions.

Excessively easy returns are a threat to the planet. If consumers don't directly bear any cost for a return, they don't care about trying something and returning it for sport, regardless of other hidden costs such as overall price increase for everyone and damage to the planet.
Our Administration has finalized a historic rule to ensure that mental health coverage for millions of Americans is covered the same as physical health care coverage.

New #Biden Administration Rules Aim to Hold Insurers Accountable for #MentalHealth Care Coverage ==
The regulations will force health insurance plans to collect and report more data on how they limit and deny mental health claims. ProPublica’s reporting has found that insurers regularly shortchange patients seeking treatment.

No, maturita není lehká. Je to podle mě také tím, že si student nemůže, na rozdíl od vysoké školy vybrat to, co umí a co ho baví. Jsou to všechny předměty. Od matematiky přes vědu až k jazykům a dějinám. Držím palce!
