This is a standard feature on any IPv6 enabled network if you enable IPv6 Privacy Extensions

Wait till you hear about the idiots who unironically make that argument for banning Bitcoin too

This is good. Now do the same with alcohol. You can be forced to die in a war at 18 but can't drink and enjoy the full rights of an adult citizen.

Adopted daughter. But still...

I don't think the severe privacy consequences could ever justify any use of this

It was always pretty bad, musk just made it worse

They've been using opus for probably around a decade at this point, and in fact YouTube was a pretty early adopter of it and had a large role in popularizing it

It's unencrypted and we know with certainly that the messages are stored by federal agencies and cell carriers. It also requires giving out one's phone number which may be undesirable in some situations

Strictly speaking, no, since ublock origin can also disable JavaScript on pages if you toggle the option. So aside from the question of whether doing so is necessary, noscript's script blocking functionality is entirely replaceable with ubo, which also has more advanced support for filterlists, etc that you're probably aware of already

You can criticize a piece of art without calling for it to be banned. This article calls for it to be banned.

Why? What reason could there possibly be to store frequencies as high as 96 kHz? The limit of human hearing is 20 kHz, hence why 44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates are used

It's a 30 year old format, and large amounts of research and innovation in lossy audio compression have occurred since then. Opus can achieve better quality in like 40% the bitrate. Also, the format is, much like zip, a mess of partially broken implementations in the early days (although now everyone uses LAME so not as big of a deal). Its container/stream format is very messy too. Also no native tag format so it needs ID3 tags which don't enforce any standardized text encoding.
