There is also a mix: salty water that won’t submerge land permanently, but that will reach more and more inland across rivers during high tides. River Mekong comes to mind, along which rice is cultivated and that already now suffers from this phenomenon. Salty water on land means you will not grow anything there anymore. The Mekong delta produces rice that is used to feed an incredibly high number of people in Asia.
Allow me to play devil’s advocate here, but what you are saying about the fediverse seems to be completely compliant with that license. The content can be freely redistributed provided it is fine in a noncommercial way and with attribution (which is the case, right? We see the comment author).
Also, the argument “X is going to be done regardless” applies to all licenses (thinking about open source licenses). There is nothing that physically stops you from taking open source code and violate its license but if you get caught doing so, you are liable.
Maybe today there is nothing that would make anybody accountable about grabbing public data, training AI on it and reselling it, but if in the future regulations will change, it will be hard(er?) for those companies to claim that certain content was distributed freely etc., in cases where the author explicitly and unequivocally stated the terms.
Corporations can also act on behalf, or on the orders of nation states. So you don’t solve anything, if a state wants to get involved, it will. You have the additional cons that corporations tend to cater to their financial interests anyway, while a public institution might not always have ulterior motives.
I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...
I run /e/OS on my Fairphone 3. The only thing that doesn’t work is login with fingerprints with my banking app. Everything else works, I did not have a problem and I am now running it for more than 3 years I believe (or 4?).
