Wait til you see what’s required to parse HTTP-date fields.

RFC 9110

And bootp before that, and tftp before that. So I think roughly… 35 years?

Have you considered using the at and shutdown commands together to accomplish this?

This is a good idea, as it might eventually lead to policies or laws that would reduce the spam.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up for resolution any time soon, though. Keep in mind that some of the biggest influence campaigns targeting US politics are run by foreign parties, and bulk text messages are cheap and consequence-free. Sadly, stopping it might require changing your phone number.

Yes, of course they could. Generating an image fingerprint is not all that computationally expensive by today’s standards.

Is it unique enough to track you? It doesn’t have to be, since online tracking generally keys off of a set of data, rather than a single item. But just for the sake of argument, consider that services like tineye and google images have pretty good success at matching images even with no additional data.

Is it (or will it eventually be) worthwhile for data collectors? You would have to ask them.

Let’s not forget that copyright enforcement is mostly funded by taxpayers. It’s a collectively massive cost to the rest of us.

It probably made sense for a limited time when we (society) were getting something of comparable value (cultural works) in return. But now that it’s effectively endless, and dominated by corporations, it looks an awful lot like systematic extraction of wealth… from us.

Indeed, protocol is independent from implementation language, but that isn’t the question at hand.

Do you know whether Beehaw will still federate with the lemmyverse (and therefore the rest of us) after moving to Sublinks?

That could also mean client API-compatible, so Lemmy apps would work with it, which doesn’t address federation.
