  • It’s common in communities where rigid adherence to a set of beliefs is necessary to enforce cohesion. It’s commonly used to avoid engagement with “Facts U Dislike” (haha) by terminating all meaningful discussion.

    Part of a flat earth forum and you’re posting an experiment you performed that suggests the earth is round? You’re spreading FUD that should be ignored.

    Posting on a crypto shitcoins discord about how this kinda looks like a scam and maybe it’s not a good investment? That’s also FUD. You’re just mad that everyone else is going to be rich.

    how can an application ship with wayland?

    It can’t. The title is not clear about how Firefox will “Ship with [support for] Wayland [compositors] by default”. Previously this native support was limited to pre-release Firefox builds.

    What if the DE you’re using is on x11?

    Firefox continues to support X11.







  • You gave an example of TMZ sourcing photos from randos, but they’re likely not the target customer for this tech. If they cared about integrity they wouldn’t be reporting celebrity gossip.

    For news companies posting syndicated images, then those come from a cadre of photographers who are most likely to own the newest most expensive cameras. Surely it’s not inconceivable that as this tech rolls out more, Agence-France-Presse, Getty, or AP could require all photos submitted to them to have this metadata, thus passing the benefits along to any news agency using their images.

    If you’re talking about photo sources taken from everyday people, then yes: They won’t have this technology in the short term, maybe not ever. Then again, I don’t get my news from TMZ.

    I think blockchain is dumb because it fails to achieve its stated goals while also harming society. I think this is a system with marginal use case and minimal licensing overhead to integrate into future cameras, so overall my take is “not dumb” and “probably useful”.



  • I don’t quite get why some of those cases require universal adoption. News photos: You just need one big news company to say “we’re giving all our photographers a camera with this tech” and then it serves its purpose.

    You see a headline “SHOCKING photo published by MegaNewsCorp will send you into a coma!” then you can validate that it came from a MegaNewsCorp photographer. If you trust MegaNewsCorp, then the tech has done its job. If you didn’t trust MegaNewsCorp already, then this tech changes nothing. I think there is moderate value in that, overall.

    The story of this tech is getting picked up and thrown around by bad tech journalism, being game-of-telephone’d into some kind of game changer.

    Plenty of open standard live and die by whether or not one big player decides to adopt them.
