How many read all four untranslated? :-)

Replying to @null and @amyvdh

Good choices, but I don't think they capture what I have in mind (which I'm not conveying well). There's something about being so...

Replying to @null and @amyvdh

...righteously right about something that you don't see it's making no effort to be interesting to others, possibly to the point of...

Replying to @null and @amyvdh

...saying that making an effort at all is evil "marketing". I've been there, trying to help some others avoid getting stuck there :-)

Replying to @harryhalpin

It’s crazy the degree to which you’re ready to be full of shit and turn on your friends for cheap shots. @rossjanderson

Replying to @harryhalpin

To show some backbone is to actually do something about it, rather than play-acting resistance for self-aggrandisement.

Replying to @harryhalpin

I am not nor have I ever been pro-DRM, I just think that fighting it requires more than poseur attitudes.

Replying to @harryhalpin

You’d been talking about leaving your job for ages — let’s not pretend it happened over EME…

Replying to @harryhalpin

I’m on the record saying it’s wrong, and you know it: berjon.com/yummy-drm/

Replying to @harryhalpin

I wouldn’t file a formal objection against EME because it’s the best thing the W3C can do in the given situation.

Replying to @harryhalpin

I have tried repeatedly to get people like you who are helping DRM to be constructive, but I guess it can’t work with populism

Replying to @harryhalpin

Which happened years ago and is unrelated to anything W3C can do… But I guess that doesn’t make great publicity.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Do you have a single browser vendor willing to do user-control+off-by-default?

Replying to @harryhalpin

A formal objection is the last place on Earth to ask for a browser feature. Get the implementers, then get the feature.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Well great. One more thing that could use W3C as an ally in instead of a gratuitous and easy target for no reason.

Replying to @harryhalpin

So your strategy is to alienate as many of the wrong people for no good reason until… what? A miracle happens?

Replying to @harryhalpin

I’ve always wondered if cookie-cutter sentences like that were the sign of cookie-cutter thought processes too.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Well then please go submit your feature with zero implementer support to @WHATWG, let’s see what happens.

Replying to @harryhalpin

And look at the impact that rejection had! It changed *EVERYTHING*! I am in awe at the effectiveness of that «spine» thing.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Wonderful non-sequitur. In your universe, that’s a sign someone is winning an argument, right?

Replying to @harryhalpin

I can’t find your user opt-in proposal in the WHATWG archives, would you mind pointing me to it?

Replying to @harryhalpin

I don’t understand. You have a feature you say solves the problem, you don’t bring it to the org you say is most relevant?

Replying to @harryhalpin

I still don’t get it. EME is here. Which is better: 1) Pretend it doesn’t exist, like the @WHATWG; or 2) Your opt-in proposal?

Replying to @harryhalpin

I remember people saying «as it would slowly die» for basically ever. Why would that change now?

Replying to @harryhalpin

So you’re saying that @WHATWG should add your opt-in proposal to the @htmlstandard?

Replying to @harryhalpin

The only thing that brought down DRM in music was corporate giants in a position to do so. Activism had nothing to do with it.
Open Access should be more than «free access», example #7591

Replying to @harryhalpin

I never said «only they decide», but you knew that and chose to go low anyway. I guess you’re just full of spine.

Replying to @harryhalpin

But hey, whenever you feel like explaining why you know both the solution and the place to send it, but don’t — go ahead.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Foul language isn’t fucking low. Putting words in my mouth and calling me a corporate whore based on your fabulation is.

Replying to @harryhalpin

No, you haven’t told me if it’s preferable to ignore the existence of EME or to apply your solution.

Replying to @harryhalpin

I’m only attacking people who help DRM by turning opposition into a farce, then throw shit at those who aren’t as farcical.

Replying to @harryhalpin

You still haven’t answered the question. I suspect it’s because you know it shows you’re just full of hot air.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Which — again — would accomplish exactly nothing. But I don’t want to spoil your little selfish fun, go ahead!

Replying to @harryhalpin

I’ll repeat the question again. Is it better to: 1) Ignore the problem, like WHAT; or 2) Implement your proposal?

Replying to @harryhalpin

And so… what replaces it will? I’d *love* to hear your plan, you’ve thought everything through so well.

Replying to @harryhalpin

So why aren’t you advocating that at WHATWG since that’s where everything happens?

Replying to @harryhalpin

Ok ok I’m a moron. So, what are you doing to advance your solution and save us all? You wouldn’t limit yourself to useless W3C?

Replying to @harryhalpin

Right, absolutely — so when are you bringing your solution to the @WHATWG?

Replying to @harryhalpin

So you’re going to submit your proposal to the @WHATWG then?

Replying to @harryhalpin

Wait… you’re saying that there’s some sort of magic that adopting your position at W3C would work but not if at @WHATWG?

Replying to @harryhalpin

Don’t change the topic: I want to know why W3C should have adopted your proposal that you just said wouldn’t work at @WHATWG.

Replying to @harryhalpin

To refuse to do good is to cause harm. Such a feature is well within the @WHATWG purview. Why not stop changing the topic?

Replying to @harryhalpin

Ah, so now you’re saying that pretending EME is actually a better option than implementing your proposal?

Replying to @harryhalpin

Ah, so you are saying that ignoring the problem is the best approach. Well, I guess that’s the slacktivist take.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Well, so far all I’ve heard from you has been ad hominems and grandstanding, mixed with a very confused description of how…

Replying to @harryhalpin

…your solution that doesn’t work because it’s not politically viable should somehow be taken up by some but not others.

Replying to @harryhalpin

So I’m very sorry to hear that you’re lobbying governments. If you do it that way, the future does look bleak.

Replying to @harryhalpin

That’s what’s scary. You’re the single most convincing argument I’ve ever heard in favour of DRM.

Replying to @harryhalpin

Anyway, some of us are actually working on making things better. Next time you want to play poseur-activist again, don’t @-me.

Replying to @null and @Floppy

So, not to necessarily defend this but if you know something is an image you can use perceptual hashing, which is harder to defeat.

Replying to @juliagalef and @DavidDeutschOxf, @Rspodcast, @willmacaskill

The probability bits make me want to ask: if you grant animals moral status, how much does it increase your belief that plants have it too?

Replying to @juliagalef and @DavidDeutschOxf, @Rspodcast, @willmacaskill

And I don't mean that as trolling :) Bayesian thinking plus various indications of "smarter" behaviour in plants honestly leads me there.

Yes, I've been thinking about blockchain nanopublication. The problem returns to making nanopublication work in the first place :-)

Replying to @mrgunn

If I get partial credit, what keeps me from making all the claims?

Replying to @mrgunn

Getting the data is easy, getting correct metadata that contextualises it is hard. That part requires at least a modicum of review.

Replying to @mrgunn

I could be missing something, but AFAIK in all cases that come to mind the context-less data would be worth less than its storage space :-)

Replying to @mrgunn

I'm not really convinced that those problems compare, or even exist on the same plane :-)
