Escape From New York: Louis Rossmann Edition - Hopefully he does not make Texas a bughive

He should also consider saving the entire webpage locally as is, something like SingleFile, which should be sufficient enough in a court case if they're really anal about getting actual evidence "on-hand".
Although there is still the chance that someone could cry "EDITED! DOCTORED!" since it's essentially a very fancy way of saving it as a editable text file/screenshot, which in that case, you should also record yourself scrolling the webpage in its entirety and then save it on video just to prove that you have not tampered with it in anyway (someone smart can check the edit dates and see its the same on video).

Might be overkill, but anything that stops companies from sweeping shit under the rug, the better.

I like that people shill populist/communist bs when it benefits them.

Mind you Rossman advocates for the same bs they have in Europe and Canada.

This beaner doesn't fight for YOUR right to repair; he wants to weasel himself in-between an American company and an American man and parasite from both.

He's against American value and actively getting in the way of American people.
 
@larossmann needs help with creating a verifiably trustworthy webpage archiving solution for his Wiki.

It'd be great if someone could come up with an auditable, open-source notary service that has zero knowledge about the content being recorded.. well, its hash that is, the actual data could be in anyone's drives, takes some burden off and wouldn't rely on a single entity. There were lots of similar projects many years ago on the BTC chain (e.g. btproof, bitnotar, some of those were even used in court!), but that's not very feasible today, if you wanted to leverage some "popular" chain you'd have to use litecoin or something else (apparently some of those exist currently on the LTC chain, reliability unknown). Definitely something I've thought about before, archive.today may be doing great work and it's been around for a long time but I don't know how sustainable that is. And provable archival is an increasingly pressing issue everywhere online.

For a channel with over 2 million subscribers currently, Louis is touching on a lot of very interesting topics you really don't see talked about enough. The "how did we become so cucked we need to call install sideload today" video was also much needed.
edit: apparently there's one operating similar to what I was thinking about, opentimestamps (blogpost about how it works), as for the value and legality of any such things, it's up in the air. However, there's also an interesting paper on this topic, it expands on how those timestamp services alone can't be used for web page archival, not without carrying the burden of processing the pages at least, and there's more issues to deal with

Blockchain is the natural place for preserving uneditable copies of archives, and like you said some have already done it. It's still possible today, it just costs more as crypto prices soared, but if the archive was valuable enough a user should be willing to pay a bit for it.

The real problem is ensuring the archive/snapshot process itself is trusted. You have to prove the process that put the archive onto the chain is reliable and not tampered with. Places like IA have an institutional track record, other archive sites might have that but it could easily be challenged on an individual basis. I don't know if any courts have dealt with this as a matter of law; have archives just been accepted by or stipulated to by adverse parties?

Whatever brown is a brown
Sir, this is not some fly by night /pol/ shitting thread. In this establishment we strive for accuracy in our racism.
 
Ah yes the American value of *checks notes* deciding to not sell replacement parts so they can charge more for repairs/sell new devices. Sounds like these """American""" companies are the ones who are actually
to me
The way I seei, the way it is now:
* You buy thing, it breaks
* You get repair from company
* They own their patents and nobody fiddles with their products
The way the Rossman wants it to be:
* Company sells you item
* When it breaks you take it to 3rd party
* Company has to expose their patents/designs so people can meddle
* 3rd party intervenes and meddles with their product
* They may or may not break it, charges exorbitant fees
* Customer returns the meddled device and is upset that it doesn't work, after third party meddled and broke it
* Everyone is frustrated in the end

Patents are public retard, and if Rossman were to get his way nothing would stop you from going to the manufacturer to get repairs, though they might have more incentive to not gouge you nearly as much as you'd have other options. Not to mention you'd be able to fix your own tech easier but a smooth brained glue eater such as yourself wouldn't ever conceive of that.

* You buy thing, it breaks
* You get repair from company

The way it is right now
  • You buy thing, it's designed to break
  • You take it to authorized repair center, they damage it to void your warranty or tell you it can't be fixed and you need to buy a new product
  • They own your device and you aren't allowed to fiddle with it

The way Rossmann wants it to be
  • Company sells you item
  • You own item and can do whatever you want to it
  • You can take it to any repair center you want, whether an authorized repair center, or a good repair center
  • You can buy the parts yourself and fix it if you want
  • You can "calibrate" the parts so that they actually work together
Authorized repair centers are more likely to be bad because they have a built in reputation as "authorized by company", independent groups like Rossmann repair group need to earn a good reputation by doing good work.
There are tons more videos about these kinds of things on Louis's channel, you should watch them to disabuse yourself of industry propaganda, which, by the way, car manufacturers tried to claim that independent repair shops will rape you.

Also, patents are a limited term monopoly enforced by the government on the manufacture of certain kinds of products based on the alleged novelty of product for the purpose of aiding innovation. Originally, the founders of this country set the term of a patent at 7 years with a possible extension of 7 more years if you were unable to capitalize on the invention. The reason why this term is so short is that patents stifle innovation and harm the economy and society, and so long monopoly terms cannot be allowed. The founders thought that nobody would be able to complain about having a 14 year monopoly, not even the most disadvantaged lone inventor in the world, however, moneyed interests love monopoly power, so they have successfully convinced the government to make patent terms 28 years with a possible extension of 28 more years, and of course most patents and patent extensions are granted without sufficient cause.

It will never not chaff my ass to high hell knowing that patents are (relatively) short so that it gives people a chance at making a profit, but drawing a picture of two stick figures fucking means I have 70 years of copyright protection to fuck with people of my choosing if they use it.
Art ownership is beyond retarded.
 
Forbes article covering false DMCA claim on gamersnexus by bloomberg taken down [D8LKjxvUmh0].mp4
original | preservetube

(((Bloomberg))) is at it again, this time it appears that they may have asked Forbes to shut it down after they posted an article about the false DCMA claim against GN's tariffs video.
Doubleposting, but dude @larossmann you gotta stop relying on the Internet Archive for grabbing deleted articles, and I don't just mean use archive.today and ghostarchive for saving pages, I mean you can actually save IA archived webpages on .today or ghostarchive so that it would not be struck down by companies knocking on IA's door.
Just copy the Wayback URL of a saved page and paste it into the red box at the top on .today or any of the other archive sites you've been suggested already. Please and thank you.
