  • It was collapsed for me at first, and buried under a lot of other comments, but a workaround is mentioned here. Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to work for me, but deleting the Flatpak and deleting all associated data, and then reinstalling it, I think did the trick.

    Although it does now show this warning, which doesn’t sound great.

    Edit: actually, I think that was the reason I concluded the first workaround didn’t work, but looking at that URL, this might just have been introduced in Firefox 128, which is newer than the old version of Tor was based on. So it looks like both worked.












  • That sounds very solvable. I’d imagine e.g. BBC, ARTE, etc. would form a joint holding organisation that buys pre-rights and uses them as distributors. Or perhaps they still individually buy the pre-rights, and while they technically will have permission to show them everywhere, since they don’t serve all the market, they don’t need exclusivity. Or perhaps they all decide to grab the opportunity and start to serve the entire EU market, making them players by themselves that are able to stand up to US counterparts.



  • I’m all for better climate policy, but “because peaceful protest doesn’t work” is a pretty bad justification. My peaceful protest to mandate wearing a colander in public won’t work, but that doesn’t mean that violent protest is justified.

    Granted, I haven’t read the book, so it might make a more nuanced argument.

    A stronger argument is that you need to have a free and democratic opportunity to provide input. This is an easy case to make e.g. for slaves, or people under an apartheid regime. It might be possible to make the argument when it comes to e.g. multi-national companies having outsized influence on legislation, or other countries in which you can’t vote instating policies that affect you.
