A car company telling me I can only have 'authorized' passengers in my car and only 'authorized' roads I can drive on and only 'authorized' parts being replaced by 'authorized' mechanics?
the DMCA is crystal clear here. You do not have a right to make modifications to your property that allow you to bypass copy protection software or hardware. If you don't like it you need to change who you vote for.
Yeah. Sometimes the law is the crime. And its creation.
The DMCA is one of those.
You can tell by it not preventing harm, but enabling and causing harm. (In this case, it does not make somebody taking sometbong illegal, but it makes not letting somebody take somethong from you illegal.)
Is Slashdot ever gonna add a preview to comment postng on mobile? (Being able to still see the comment you are replying to would be nice too. As would UTF-8. And forcing moderators to give checkable reasons for their moderations.)
I'm sure they'll get right on that after they fix the bug that makes comments scrunch down to a couple characters wide.
Hit the 3 dots and check "Desktop site" in Chrome. Slashdot mobile is broken and has been since it launched. Just please give me an option to stay on the Desktop site and never put that garbage on any of my browsers.
