I have been reading about Hachette v. Internet Archive, but as a layperson with little knowledge about legal matters, I was not able to completely understand the current situation.
Do the court cases mean that the Internet Archive is about to be forced to shut down its e-book lending system? If so, would such a shut down affect US users only, or would it be worldwide?
R7RS-large has been in development for a really long time (10 years?). What is the status of the standardization effort? When is the estimated time of completion of R7RS-large?
Are there any open source apps that can version control text files in Android? I don't necessarily need something with lots of features like Git. Even something similar to RCS would be sufficient for me.
For open source software, I can easily use a widely-used open source license (e.g. MIT, Apache, GPLv3, MPLv2, etc.). However, source-available licenses are less easy to find.
Are there any source-available licenses that I can readily copy to apply to my software? I am hesitant to copy the source-available licenses listed on Wikipedia because license texts are copyrighted by default and should not be copied without permission from the author of the license text.
Specifically, I am looking for a source-available license that has conditions similar to the GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) license that I can use for my software.
If websites are able to track their users' typing behavior and mouse movements, then the websites may be able to use that data to fingerprint, track, and possibly identify their users. Is this a real privacy risk? If so, what are the methods to counter keyboard and mouse fingerprinting by websites? Note that I do not want to disable JavaScript.
Does user privacy when using WhatsApp Web (https://web.whatsapp.com
) differ substantially from using WhatsApp on Android? WhatsApp on Android has end-to-end encryption and (optional) encrypted backups. If I use WhatsApp Web, will Meta be able to see the contents of my WhatsApp messages?
I'm buying a Cat 6 cable. I have two available choices. One has fire rating "CM", and the other has Euroclass rating "Eca". Which one is more fire resistant? I was not able to find an equivalence table. Is "CM" comparable to "Eca"?
Is there some kind of website that has a database of whether or not an app would require Google Play Services to function? I remember using just such a website a few weeks ago, but I don't remember its name. It has a search box where one enters the app name and it will tell you whether or not that app relies on Google Play Services.
Is there any open source and privacy-respecting Android keyboard for Chinese input? I want to avoid proprietary keyboards such as Gboard and Samsung Keyboard. Unfortunately, the open source Android keyboards that I found only support alphabetic input:
For Chinese input I would like pinyin input for both traditional characters and simplified characters. Handwriting input would be nice to have but it is not essential.
I have installed both uBlock Origin and NoScript in Firefox. Does it make sense to use both at the same time? I was wondering whether or not uBlock Origin is able to do everything that NoScript does. If not, what does NoScript have that uBlock Origin does not?
