You can’t put terms of service on a web page and bind people to it. Otherwise I could put up a site somewhere and say everyone who reads this owes me a dollar.

The terms are only enforceable when they are presented to the user before they use the software. My copy of Librewolf doesn’t present any terms to me so I am not bound by anything other than the redistribution license.

IANAL but all this is pretty common sense. You can’t add terms by posting them where the user wouldn’t see them. And Librewolf explains very clearly that it is not Firefox and is not a Mozilla product.

Reminds me of the Rule of Goats:

If you fuck a goat ironically, you’re still fucking a goat. Same goes with ironic Hitler salutes.

Yes, by law. Of course the business will abide by federal law before state law because federal law is supreme.

It’s a VPN within a VPN. So all your traffic over the Mullvad VPN connection has a VPN within it going to Proton (but only for Firefox).

To answer the questions directly:

1. Yes, but not exactly. Everything goes through Mullvad, but Firefox goes through Proton going through Mullvad.
2. No, they’ll just see the Proton information.
3. It slows down your connection! That’s a lot more extra hops. Practically…I suppose if the “inner VPN” was necessary to connect to a specific host (like a work VPN) then it could be useful. For example you use Mullvad on your router, but your work laptop uses a VPN to connect to resources needed to do your work. Other than that I can’t see why you’d need to use 2 at the same time.

It means you’re going to the bathroom.

It doesn’t. Might have been New Brunswick. Or I just made it up somehow. I can’t remember where I saw it.

My understanding is that some province is charging double on US commercial trucks that cross the border. Nova Scotia?

It’s a great idea, I agree. But people have to realize that a good 40% of the country thinks that holding undocumented immigrants in a military prison indefinitely is hella balls-to-the-fucking-wall awesome. These people are not interested in striking and most of the 60% left over are worried they’ll get fired tomorrow if they don’t show up to work.

I invite you to imagine a state or local prosecutor indicting a member of the armed forces for carrying out an order given by a superior.

It’s mostly because “fuck you, I do what I want.”

Pornhub is the only one that I know of that is doing the blocks by state. They are a big enough target that the laws could cause them a lot of trouble, and they’ve said they aren’t interested in checking IDs.

The sum total of the laws is that people will either get their porn on sites that don’t care about the various state laws and/or they will learn about using VPNs to get around blocks.

I’ve only heard of Mr. Belvedere doing this.

I take it he would like to watch porn but can’t? Then yes, that’s a problem and he should see his primary care doc first. It’s a quality of life issue.

This comes up a lot. The fact is that almost everyone who mined a few dozen BTC back then would have sold it when it reached $100. No one ever thought back in 2009 that it’d be worth what it is now.

You know how you think George W. Bush is the worst president we’ve ever had or ever will have? Well in 2017 you’re going to wish he was in office. Also, go to school in a foreign country so you can be a permanent resident there.

So I replied to this comment as well as the original post via Mastodon. Apparently this doesn’t work anymore (or I was wrong and never did or it’s very slow).

Possibly! I have replied to this post from my Mastodon account (hopefully that post will show up soon). People on Mastodon can see these posts and interact with them, but it’s kinda clunky. The posts and comments are implemented as boosts. So you post here and I see this on Mastodon:

Every reply will also show as a boost from nostupidquestions@lemmy.world.

I don’t think it works the other way around. I don’t believe you can follow specific AP accounts from here (like you can’t follow my Mastodon account from your Lemmy account). I think they have to be groups/communities. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

This is a private school so they don’t get much in the way of direct government funding. State-funded schools are considerably cheaper. I went to Wright State University in Ohio. Right now it’s about $13k/yr in tuition. This is still rather expensive on a global scale.

Why do private schools charge that much? Because people (like you) will pay that much. What about the University of Chicago makes it so that you are willing pay for it? What do you or your son hope to get out of it that a school in your home country (I’m assuming Canada) can’t give him? To compare to Wright State, even for out-of-country students the tuition is less than half of Chicago’s tuition. Is the benefit of going to Chicago worth that much more? If it is, then that is exactly what you’re paying for.

My understanding is that if I follow @dadjokes@lemmy.world from Mastodon what happens is:

• I will see all posts on that community
• I will also see all replies to that post
• The replies are listed in Mastodon as boosts from @dadjokes@lemmy.world

For example:

That’s what I see if I go to @dadjokes@lemmy.world from Mastodon.

Is that what you are talking about regarding boosts?
