The World Wide Web Consortium’s decision to keep votes about DRM secret and that it censured the EFF for “disclosing even vague sense of a vote” raises concerns.

The EFF disagrees with W3C claims

Update: W3C press conference, Monday, Sept. 18, 9 a.m. EST
Joshua Harris
Is there anything we can do to stop these motherfuckers?
Mason Murphy
More confirmation that the web is cancer.
Tim Berners-Lee is a fuckhole, too. He's a pseudo-intellectual dimwit who lucked into a position of authority by virtue of the fact that his implementation of hypertext (he didn't come up with the idea itself, it was decades old when he implemented HTTP) came about at the right time to catch on.
I have to give him credit for managing to turn his bit of dumb luck into an entire career, though. He has more honors and awards than he can probably count at this point:
Aiden Gray
Stop using the modern web, and start creating and promoting alternatives.
Nolan Anderson
Preety much this . Why are you telling us this n-s-yayyy kun? Do you want a open web? Why not keep DRM a secret?
Brayden Nguyen
Can't we just make our own DOM.
Easton Harris
Does this DRM aids effect older HTML standars (say, HTML 3.2, and 4.0)? If not, can't we make our own doctype and serve it over P2P?
Joshua Rogers
It's not about the doctype. This technology is going to be included in every major browser. You're going to have basically 4 options:
1. Run a pre-DRM browser that's no longer receiving updates and is full of known security holes.
2. Run a non-mainstream browser like lynx or links.
3. Stop using browsers altogether.
4. Bend over and take the W3C's DRM in your cornhole.
Thomas Ross
Why not make a new browser then? Wasn't half chan doing that?
Gabriel Cook
Firefox has EME implemented already, but it lets you disable it. I expect other mainstream browsers let you disable it too. What's wrong with that option?
The situation is fucked because it's going to normalize using EME on websites, but keeping it out of your own personal browser isn't that hard, as long as you don't rely on the EME.

Did his wallet find it especially important? Fucking fraud.

This is a problem with the browser, not the transport.
Jeremiah Davis
Any self-respecting FOSS browser would probably have a way to disable the DRM, with a notice that "some websites may break" or whatever.
Isaac Sanchez
Oh they will ignore it and then cry about it. Just like Holla Forums when it found out the internet is basically cloudflare.
Zachary Ross
The browser is probably the most easily fixed of all the issues this is going to cause. Tinfoils will also happily use something with less features while a proper replacement is being forked and/or built.
Noah Kelly
Although the W3C decision is influenced by (((corporate interests))), who/what's cucked in this case?
Retard you can apply Google cache before archiving.
archive.is
Brody Diaz
You all know this is a fucking problem that isn't solved by opting out. You think Netflix is bad? Fucking everything is going to use DRM now that this shit is standardized.
They're conditioning the normies to be cucks, and you're going to be a pariah for not following suit.
Michael Kelly
As always, the users.
William Wilson
>archive.is
Please don't post shortened-links user.
Landon Baker
That's an archive link you moron.
Brody Cox
It's still shortened. He might be annoyed that he can't see what he's actually visiting.
Jaxon Campbell
Web standards were a mistake
at least with closed gardens you have no delusion of what's going on

Gavin Murphy
No shit Sherlock.
Here's some knowledge.
You when you post this
>archive.is
This is called a shortened link.
It's shortened because the real link behind it should normally be like this opisafagg.ot
This kind of link is not obfuscated like archive.is or archive.fo
Here's an example of an archive link that isn't shortened.
web.archive.org
Has you can see you have two links in it:
-The archive:
web.archive.org
-And the original source:
boingboing.net
The advantage of such links is that besides being archived is that you know the original website you are supposed to go on.
Imagine that a shortened link redirects you to a website that isn't the good one, how would you know that it's not the one good one ?
But be reassured archive.is and archive.fo can give you non shortened links, just select "share" in archive.is.fo and it will give you multiple links notably the one that isn't shortened.
Basically this.
There's more to it tho.
James Parker
Archive.is is not a shortlink for archive.org.
Lincoln Sanchez
The Firefox feature cycle is as follows.
EME is at stage two of this cycle.
Henry Diaz
You're a dense motherfucker aren't you ?
If you understood that in the last post then I can't do anything for you.
I have no power that can regenerate brain cells.
Brody Wright
I don't think you get it.
Ethan James
Pretty sure he's right. You know life is a lot better if you can own up to your mistakes.
At least put it on IPFS or something.
Zachary Hill
Yes. Form the CIIIW which is a clone of W3C, gut the DRM, and get the FOSS browsers to follow CIIIW and not W3C. Then as W3C makes changes, don't carry them to the CIIIW, and be sure to make CIIIW changes that W3C will refuse to port. The way you break the W3C is to make them irrelevant to the internet.
Jonathan Morris
That's not IceCat's fault, that's Netflux's fault for not providing an open internet solution for you to use. Cancel Netflux and start torrenting your shows.
Gavin Richardson
Sure, he was explaining it to you in a condescenting way, but you don't get credit for using fallacy of extension on his explanation. +1 XP for admitting you were wrong.
John Turner
Bumping because this is legit important even if you faggots would rather just argue about browsers.
