Ah, I wasn't aware they were using existing projects. I hadn't done a lot of research and was under the impression they were building utilities.

This isn't a rust issue...this is a canonical using a less than ideal license issue on their rust code.

I think the difference here is cursor is a fork of VS code that is specifically dedicated to AI based workflows. Which means it's highly likely, although not guaranteed, that AI is being used as opposed to the other options you mentioned which are very popular IDEs where AI is a secondary feature that might not even be enabled. That being said I don't think there's anything wrong with using AI with oversight, what I do see as a problem is the fact that in the face of criticism they went and hid the evidence. That's terrifying for a privacy focused organization to do.

I'm not sure this works with Lemmy's current architecture unless it's fully isolated from the clearnet. When you visit a lemmy instance your browser directly loads URLs from other instances, you can easily see this with an extension like IPvFoo. Even if you hosted an instance on the darknet if it was federated with even 1 clearnet instance it would cease being anonymous.

While I do totally see the advantages of rust and agree skill is not a solution given people make mistakes...I do agree a lot of the very vocal rust advocates do act almost religious and it is an annoying turn off.

I don't care WHAT the data protection rules are. That's what you're missing. I DO NOT want services I use collecting my personal data outside of email. End of story. As it is I will NOT give services my phone number except in very specific circumstances. What you're missing is I DO NOT CARE what the rules are, the policies, the protections. They are collecting my ID and that in itself is INEXCUSABLE regardless of anything else.

Well, I don't know then, this is super odd because here's the wayback for the launch of YT red and it says $10/mo with GPM included. The earlier pages archived all say "coming soon" and this time frame lines up with wikipedia's launch date as well as the prices listed on wikipedia. I really don't understand what's going on here then https://web.archive.org/web/20151031015519/youtube.com/red

EDIT: I just went and found my sign up confirmation from 8/1/2017 and the price was $10/mo and included YTM

Those services can either be blocked outright or use the parental controls provided by those services. None of this justifies big brother style government over reach. Additionally to me, the kids you need to protect are the really young ones. Teens ideally shouldn't be browsing adult content but it's far less damaging to them than young kids. And young kids don't need steam or unrestricted Netflix etc. They're also far less skilled at bypassing this stuff.

Yes I know what Google play music was, I used it in HS...I also have had premium since it was launched as YT red. I don't recall the price ever being $8 though. It was $10 at launch and it's always included the music for that price. The hike to $14 had nothing to do with music. I'm in the US though so maybe regions are different? I had my $10 price for years after the price increase...only somewhat recently did they bump me to the new price.

I did some looking online and red launched alongside YTM for $10/mo in October 2015.

Probably should write letters to our senators then. I personally opt out every time I fly and I'd be disappointed if that option went away.

YTM has basically always been bundled with premium. They recently raised the prices for grandfathered users but at the time the YTM bundle was introduced the premium price did not increase IIrc.

Children of the age they're trying to protect are children that probably shouldn't be on reddit
