Let’s Encrypt is a trusted, established alternative, it could replace Microsoft for long-lived software certificates.

Uh, no it could not.

First of all, the whole point of signing software is to ensure it comes from a reputable source. Let’s Encrypt signs certificates with an automated process that does no verification whatsoever of the identity of the person asking for a certificate. It would make the whole process completely pointless.

Second, Let’s Encrypt has stated themselves over a decade ago that they have no intention of doing this because it would render the whole system pointless.

As long as you’re logged in, you should have it. Sometimes it takes a minute or two to be added, and sometimes you also have to restart the client you use, assuming you don’t just download the installers directly.

I just did it. You have to click the button to go to the giveaway, then scroll down until you see the claim button.

I should make an alt that ends every sentence with “wot, wot”, and say it’s to poison AI so everybody just puts up with it 🤣

Since AN was mentioned, we enable/disable them based upon the overall whims of our community, just as we decide everything. there’s no long-term commitment to anything, because times and feelings change and we don’t see any reason to be held down to something if we decide to go another way.

it loaded fine for me, but I had to bypass a uBlock filter to even see it because they are on HaGeZi’s Pro mini DNS/Browser Blocklist for being a domain associated with “ads, tracking, analytics, and badware”.

At this point it was pretty clear the conversation had run its course, so here we are. And for the record, my long-dead grandfather served in an anti-aircraft unit of the Finnish Army during WW2, defending against the attacks of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is enough to qualify as a “Nazi” in Russia these days.

a little context from Wikipedia:

Finland was one of Germany’s most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately.

also, why is this person trying to dox the owner of archive.today? sounds to me like they fucking deserve the DDoS.

I know you’re feeling very self-righteous right now, but I hope at some point you can calm down enough to step back and realize this is such a silly thing to be getting so dramatic over.

it’s not really a question of working or not, is it? it’s a question of what words mean. if somebody says why isn’t an orange considered an apple, it’s perfectly normal to say it’s because they’re two different things. you wouldn’t say, “do what works for you, make an apple pie with oranges”, would you?

what an inspirational story!

I don’t use corporate AI. And I also don’t pay attention to liberals trying to define what an anarchist can or can’t do.

You should really try again, I think.

And as soon as your hypocrisy is called out, you resort to name-calling. Belligerence isn’t an argument, even if you fail to think of one in its place.

When you say, “I’m just expressing an opinion, why are you doing the same”, then yes, it is denying them the same right. Don’t play games with me, we’re not the idiots you seem to think we are.

Yeah, but they gotta make sure everyone knows they have an opinion, lest you forget they exist 😂

If you think you’re immune to that, you’re an idiot.

Well they’re some random person expressing their opinion as well. Why are you denying them the same right you claim?

I would love to. They deserve a little lovin’ for all the work they put in preserving games. 10/10, would buy games from them over Steam any and every day.
