As nice as DANE is, it just shifts the burden of trust to your DNS provider. Like if you hop on Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, said network can simply MITM connections and supply their own certs via re-writing the DNS.

It can’t, because DANE requires the use of DNSSEC. Unfortunately, there are still so many domains that do not have a proper DNSSEC configuration… so it’s unlikely to work out well in practice, anyway.

edit: not to mention the DNS is centralized too. It’s federated, at least (in the original sense of the word, not the way it is used on the fediverse), but ICANN is still the only central authority at the end.

Something like DANE, maybe? Only the websites actually using the compromised certificates would be compromised.

but I assume that it sets legal precedent for all.

Other courts might look at it for inspiration, but since Germany has a civil law system (as opposed to the common law system that is usual in English-speaking countries), prior rulings do not really have as much significance as “legal precedent” here.

No? If you want to resolve this URI, you have to follow the redirect, there’s no way around it. Requesting it from google and looking at the Location header is following the redirect.

I mean, I agree that one should drop google and that this is probably just another thing they do to track people, but that’s not what I meant with that comment.

The real URL is in the Location header on /goto. Request that URL. Do not follow the redirect.

…but that’s how you follow a redirect?

Yes, there’s an “enable JXL (JPEG XL) support” toggle in the settings (tabs and browsing → media on librewolf (which is what I use too), or in ‘firefox labs’ on normal firefox).

It does seem to be animated when I view the file in firefox. That doesn’t have to mean it works when embedded on webpages though, but I guess there’s an easy way to test that :)

To be fair, I’ve heard it from somewhere else too. I’ll see if I can find a source.

It’s best not to use multiple ad blockers at the same time. They’ll conflict with each other and you’ll be worse off. uBO alone is probably enough.

Ah, didn’t expect you to already know qobuz 🙃

But yeah, that’s definitely a problem. I remember them sending the email where they announced this could happen now (although weirdly enough, they never sent an email for when purchased items were taken down any time after that again), and had it happen a few times as well. Luckily, I’ve also saved everything locally, so I haven’t lost anything. Still annoying. Also sometimes, an album that’s suddenly gone just seems to reappear a few months later, as if they were just reorganizing their library, but really, I have no idea what’s going on.

Didn’t know about them before, thanks for sharing!

The same album might be sold lossless in one region and only lossy in another region.

That’s weird, since as far as I can tell, qobuz doesn’t offer lossy downloads at all (I’ve heard they used to, but stopped. Maybe there are some regions where they’re still offering it?)

Copyrights are rights. A license grants others (parts of) that right. A copyright isn’t a license.

I don’t really see what that has to do with what I said? Unless you are saying that licenses exist for other things than copyright (in response to “licenses are a copyright concept”). That’s definitely true, I oversimplified to make my point, but I’m also pretty sure that copyright licenses are the only kind of license that are relevant here in the first place.

MP3 is a horrible non-free (well, not anymore, because the patents expired; but still), outdated format. bandcamp also lets you download as FLAC, which is none of that and lossless.

edit: it feels this comment came off a bit aggressively, so I just wanted to say that wasn’t my intention 😅

Not quite true anymore, publishers have pretty much given up on DRM for purchased music :)

Neither Apple’s iTunes store nor amazon’s store (although to be fair, I haven’t used amazon, so I’m not 100 % sure about them) use DRM on purchased music, so you can just take the music files and use them in any way you want. In my personal opinion though, rather than use the iTunes store or amazon, I’d recommend you to try the qobuz store, which is DRM-free and is the only one I know of (ignoring bandcamp, which doesn’t get music from regular distributors) that provides lossless audio.

Licenses are a copyright concept, but this isn’t a copyright issue. You’re buying a copy of a game, and you should own the copy after the purchase (which of course, means the company who sold it to you shouldn’t be able to revoke your access at will). That’s the part that sony is apparently not willing to do. But copyright-wise, it would be a license either way, so I don’t think it’s a good idea to confuse people with only tangentially related concepts here.

Yeah. I believe it has a different name on iOS, but they both have the feature.

A really nice feature would be a hardware button triggering this mode!

And I think iOS literally lets you configure the button on the side of the phone to enable this mode by quickly pressing it three times or something like that.

If you allow me to do a bit of self-promotion: https://code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym (this is my fork of the software running on old.lemmy.world).

It’s a different frontend rather than just a theme, so it needs to be set up separately (similar to lemmy-ui). If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)

Same. I can also recommend the Qobuz download store, which has a larger library because they get their music from the usual distributors.

I was wondering when an open source solution to that would come out, similar to sponsorblock for YouTube, but I guess Spotify is first.
