The thumbnail reminds me of that Wheee! Internet Explorer vs Firefox video.

I avoid Apple devices, so I don't have a first-hand recommendation, but something like Nextcloud would seem to fit.
Altice failed to terminate repeat infringers whose IP addresses were flagged in these copyright notices, the lawsuit said.
So the record label thinks it should have the power to cut off people's internet service, upon which most people depend for at least some basic essentials of living, by simply accusing them of copyright infringement.
I hope the record label is severely punished for this abuse of the (publicly funded) justice system.
I don't think discoverability would be dead even if there were no other Matrix servers.
Rooms/spaces can be announced and found in other places. I generally find them through various projects' own web sites, just as I do forums, email lists, IRC channels, etc. They could also be catalogued separately, much as is done for Lemmy, which has terrible built-in discovery.
Did you read the same post that I did? Where does it say they're centralizing the directory control? This post reads to me like it's about an individual server instance, not the whole network.
I wish this was given a less provocative title. People who read the whole post will find that it's not all shouting, and Linus' stance seems pretty even-keeled.
I'm going as far back as the 1400s, and your 1810 usage doesn't match any common meaning of "snuff out", so I don't think it really applies here. But thanks for the interesting etymological diversion. :)
In any case, polygraphs still cannot put an end to leaks, so I stand by my original interpretation.
I see your line of thinking, but let's also remember that polygraphs wouldn't end leaks even if they really were lie detectors. The most they could do in that fictional scenario would be to reveal the leaks; to sniff them out. To snuff them out would require some additional, separate action.
Also snuff out applies to candles only because the snuff is literally part of a candle's wick. The phrase is not being used literally here, which leaves us with the common non-literal meaning: to murder.
I still think the most charitable interpretation is that author confused it with sniff out, and failed to consider the grisly meaning of what they wrote.
- Is thedailybeast.com considered a reputable news source?
- To snuff out is to kill; usually murder. Did the author mean sniff out?

More like, "don't pick an inflammatory minor excerpt to represent a lengthy and well-reasoned post."
Similarly, don't choose a red fruit to represent a pine forest just because there happens to be an apple tree somewhere within. It's misleading.
