This causes a nationwide depression in the US which probably infects the world. Also criminal liability doesn’t normally attach to unintended wrongs AND we don’t normally make CEOs directly responsible for all possible wrongs committed by any one of potentially hundreds of thousands of employees because that would be … nonsense.
For every complex problem there is a simple stupid and wrong solution.
If I hold a fork normally and it jumps out of my hand and stabs little Suzy in the eye it seems like the manufacturer ought to be liable. If I knew it might do that and I use it anyway probably we both are and a court probably gets to decide who bears how much of the fault. In no situation do we assign guilt to the fork even if it would be awfully convenient for everyone but Suzy if the fork which has no assets were the one liable.
Are you drunk? Solar and wind is better now and eventually fusion will be.
Regulating Meta which is truly accountable nowhere is like trying to find a good place to store radioactive waste for tens of thousands of years. Everyone outside the US should just ban them.
You can’'t because 1TB of storage forever isn’t free for them why would it be free for you?
Basically what you want is all files you own should be on more than one drive and computer. Not just raid where the raid array can be damaged or the file overwritten by a careless mistake.
Basically my local files are incrementally synced daily from my computers -> a single board computer with 2 3.5" slots and a big ass drive with zfs. Because ZFS/BTRFS support incremental syncs it normally takes 1-3 minutes daily to send changed files per computer. ZFS also knows when its own data is corrupt and if I find any I can resync known good data from the known good copy.
If the big ass drive dies all the data is on the other machines and I can just replace it and resync.
If the big ass drive isn’t big enough or gets old I put a second drive in the other slot and sync A->B and get rid of or repurpose the other drive.
If I want greater reliability I can add a second big ass drive in mirror mode.
If I want even greater reliability I can buy a second such setup and put it another parties house.
If I’m worried about the drive getting lost/stolen encryption makes it so nobody at another address can read shit and I can still do incremental syncs.
This of course isn’t free because why the fuck would it be but you can do a ton with just a single machine and drive

$250 Presumably good for 6-10 years or as little as $25 a year 4x as much storage as specified
The folks most concerned about such a change are those who live in the US since I’m assuming only we are exposed to this stupidity eg European providers aren’t renaming shit based on a lunatics directives. For us yr.no is hard to adjust to since it supports the english language BUT only uses Celsius. I’m aware metric is superior but at least for me I have to mentally translate from A->B and celsius is used nowhere but in the sciences here. EG its not a great alternative
There is nothing wrong with the link but I separated them for easier clicking
