Yeah… according to the stats in this post, about 1.9 million people are behind bars.

11 billion a year between 1.9 million prisioners is about 6k per year per prisoner.

So that’s about $500 a month per prisoner. Which is not as big of a number… and according to the article, the prisoners still get paid a fraction of it… it’s just that 80% is used “for room and board, court costs, restitution and other fees, including the construction and maintenance of prisons”.

OnlyOffice also used to have an artificial limit of 20 users simultaneously connected, you had to purchase the Enterprise edition for more. Euro-Office essentially removed the lock for free… and that basically forced OnlyOffice to remove the limit too, so I expect they are pissed :P

For the record, this was the response from the FSF regarding the licensing: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/agpl-is-not-a-tool-for-taking-freedom-away

In summary, you can add additional terms to disclaim warranties, include some extra notice/attribution, etc. but the terms can’t really require something that effectively limits the rights explicitly granted in the AGPL (like… you can’t require the inclusion of a trademarked logo, since it would effectively restrict anyone who doesn’t have trademark rights), the license explicitly allows licensees to ignore/remove any terms that impose additional restrictions like those.

In the end, OnlyOffice changed the license headers, removing the contradictory restriction.

They also added additional terms section in the license file, with some things that were not explicitly requested before (and that it’s still contested whether they fit what the AGPL allows as additional terms). But they only did that later, Euro-Office is still using the previous version of the license that did not have those new additional terms.

Yes, sorry I had a busy month :P

Yeah, that was my point… that’s why I was saying that if a kid is smart enough to to set up a VM like that they are smart enough to find alternative/easy out-of-the-box methods… the “using someone else’s login” in particular is one of the points I made earlier.

This is why I think the control should be local, and with the parents being the ones responsible. Relying on third party authentication and expecting the remote services to be able to determine the age is not gonna work.

It’s going to be an arm race and the most dedicated kids, not necessarily the smartest or wisest, will figure it out. Eventually they’ll get the concepts behind the tools they mindlessly use until then, eventually find much better tools allowing them to bypass a lot more restrictions.

Well… it depends on how do you define “smart” …but to me, that kind of dedication and resourcefulness is already showing problem-solving skills, regardless of whether they “get the concepts” (many adults don’t fully understand the tools they use either).

I don’t see how a browser will be able to prevent this kind of usage

In Firefox, you can disable websockets (and most other features or about:config settings, but the website you linked uses websockets) through a policy.json setting writable only by root, so it wouldn’t be possible for a user without root permissions to change it.

I agree that your previous misunderstandings lead you to this one.

Fascist speech is to be exposed and criticised scientifically, not dogmatically. Your use of “protected” here implies something I do not defend.

I want to attack fascist speech, you want to hide it… from my point of view I could also say you are the one protecting it.

Since its inception the term has been about adherence to party lines and enforcing ideological purity. The right wants to pretend they don’t do it, so they want to attribute it to particular instances from the left, but they do the same thing all the time.

See the next paragraph on that same article you quote (Wikipedia, btw):

The phrase politically correct first appeared in the 1930s, when it was used to describe dogmatic adherence to ideology in totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.[5] Early usage of the term politically correct by leftists in the 1970s and 1980s was as self-critical satire;[8] usage was ironic, rather than a name for a serious political movement.[12][13][14] It was considered an in-joke among leftists used to satirise those who were too rigid in their adherence to political orthodoxy.[15] The modern pejorative usage of the term emerged from conservative criticism of the New Left in the late 20th century, with many describing it as a form of censorship.[16]

What? it’s hard to tell what did you interpret this time …but I hope you are not implying that politically correct language like “military operation” shows the whole truth, that “pacification” is the whole truth, that “terrorism” is the whole truth, that “re-education camps” are the whole truth, that “voluntary relocation” is the whole truth, that “austerity measures” are the whole truth.

Science is not a fantasy, and wanting to call it a “marketplace” is proof of the misunderstanding. We have historic proof of the damage to the power of the workers that dogmatic censorship, “political correctness” (ie. hiding truth) and manipulation of public perception causes, we are seeing it right now first person in the west. Doing the same thing (and more overtly) is fighting dogma with dogma, even if the ideals from one of them were fully benevolent and made people happy.

You are misunderstanding me and it has become clear that I’m not gonna get through you. We are talking in circles.

Censorship is a structural failure of the superstructure itself. I provided earlier a list of reasons of why I think this.

When we ‘oppress’ the bourgeoisie by silencing them, the censor’s hand is eventually covering the worker’s mouth & ears.

I’m not relying in just one specific article like it’s a bible… I’m applying a scientific approach and relying on Marx’s belief that the dictatorship of the proletariat is the self-government of the producers. You cannot govern yourself if you are wearing a blindfold.

I agree with Marx there. But there is a massive difference between forcibly suppressing the economic power of the bourgeoisie (collectivizing their land) and suppressing the expression of ideas.

If you have already stripped the bourgeoisie of their factories and banks (or say… gone as far as to kill them), their “speech” loses its power. If a state is still terrified of “fascist manipulation” after the revolution, then the state hasn’t actually solved the material problems of the people.

A lot of socialists states failed because they were just a wolf in sheep’s clothing and didn’t actually solve the issues.

I think you are the one misinterpreting Marx’s context and rejecting scientific methods to truth. If you believed in the scientific method you should support open study of truth like scientific socialism does, with the will of scientifically testing the paradigm, instead of supporting the establishment of dogmatic truths through control and coercion.

Marx’s scientific socialism defends that the state -any state- is a ‘parasite’ on society (he even believed the phrase “Communist State” was a contradiction).

Are you implying that Marx was not making general claims about the nature of truth and the state, but that instead he was being opportunistic, like a tactician only interested in defending objective truth under the particular context of the state being openly capitalistic?

Truth IS objective reality. Again, you are conflating idealist ideas of truth with material truth.

If a socialist theory is true and scientific, it should be able to dismantle a fascist argument in front of a crowd of workers. If you have to put the fascist in jail to stop the workers from believing him, you are admitting that your “truth” isn’t convincing enough to win on its own.

“The censored press has a demoralizing effect. … The government hears only its own voice, it knows that it hears only its own voice, yet it harbors the illusion that it hears the voice of the people.” Karl Marx

You say it’s the “working classes” the ones censoring the speech, but you are falling into a “who watches the watchmen?” problem

Marx argued that the only way to truly defeat speech is to prove it wrong in the “light of day”

“If you do not believe in the victory of truth, you are committing a crime against truth.”

“Truth is as little modest as light… Truth is universal, it does not belong to me, it belongs to all; it owns me, I do not own it.”

Truth that requires a policeman to protect it from being challenged isn’t actually truth at all… but just some idealistic subjective point.

No, he was in favor of giving the power to the working class, not to some elite that limits what the working class can do, learn about or be exposed to.

“The emancipation of the working classes must be conquered by the working classes themselves.”

“The free press is the ubiquitous vigilant eye of a people’s soul, the embodiment of a people’s faith in itself, the eloquent link that connects the individual with the state and the world… It is the mind of the state that can be delivered into every cottage more cheaply than material gas.” Karl Marx

And sure, they’ll deny it.

Ah… so you admit they deny being nazis?

that’s because they’re lying liars who love to lie

I agree, they love to keep the mask on.

My point was that this is on their benefit.

As an antifascist, I want them to openly admit they are nazis so that their lies can be exposed.

Their lies not being exposed protects them. Hiding is a form of protection, truth and transparency is a great antifa tool.

Where’s the declaration? Elon has publicly said he’s not a nazi too, even as a response to that. So mask is still on.

You don’t have to look far to find people saying that they don’t believe this was meant as nazi support, so it clearly didn’t really expose him on the eyes of the public.

If their mask were off they would not need to dog whistle.

Mask-off??

Can you link to me government officials openly declaring themselves nazis? …I want the actual direct declaration.

I think the reason they got the government is PRECISELY because they keep the mask. Trump has already said multiple times he’s not a nazi, do you think he would win approval if he came out and said he is?

You are making the point for me.

Again, they should be exposed.

Europe has pro-Nazi organizations, but they are clandestine. In the same way as China opens the door for capitalist talking points by openly censoring them, Europe gives munition to nazis by refusing to let them expose themselves. Nazism is a stupid ideology that would not stand its ground were its mask to fall.

There are documentaries protesting against neonazis and talking about their proliferation and rise… but I can’t check and link them because they are not allowed, “not available in your country”, particularly in Germany.

I’m convinced that if the reality of nazism was more public, antifascist sentiment would rise.
