A YouTube spokesperson said that the removal of "gender identity and expression" from the hate speech policy was part of regular copy edits to the website, and that the enforcement of the policy hasn't changed. Hate speech toward someone over their "sex, gender, or sexual orientation" is still barred, however critics say that "gender" is very different than "gender identity and expression."
If this is a good faith statement it's a non-issue IMO
They're open source, so for technical issues you can open an issue on GitHub
If you have a custom domain Tuta is way better than Proton. It's unlimited addresses.
I'm not as sure. EFF does a fair amount of important reporting to hold big tech companies accountable. The same goes for Check My Ads. Obviously there's places like The Verge, WIRED, and TechCrunch. Right now politics and tech are pretty intertwined. Having folks with a more technical background cover stories could be pretty beneficial for asking better, deeper questions
I think if you're willing to put in the work to learn programming it could give you a pretty big leg up understanding the people and culture surrounding tech. It's also a decent backup career option
Yep. I also think having a dedicated screen is much better than opening a phone app all the time, especially when it comes to babysitting and traveling.
I think the situation will improve as people migrate there and more normal videos get uploaded
I've seen that argument for Odysee as far back as 5 years ago. I don't think it's going to occur. Same goes for Truth Social
Yes, I use it and generally like it. Their app is a little buggy, but they have email support and accept bug reports on GitHub. This is helpful for finding out what other users are seeing. It's a small dev team with frequent releases
I'm not sure what you mean. The "overhead" is putting your different logins into a password manager, no?
Ukraine losing would be terrible for Trump. It makes him look weak and bad at foreign policy. Everyone knows that Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, and they'll do it again
I don't necessarily believe it's in good faith. Just pointing out that it could be a simple misunderstanding and added back.
They can quietly drop or add anything internally, or just be inconsistent. They don't even have to have a public policy. So the words don't mean much to begin with. Once there are examples of no enforcement is when it becomes a serious issue.
