Oh, that's good to know. I have had issues with files just wouldn't "open" - even with the old behavior - and could never figure out why.

TBH the reason I didn't go into details was because it's been a while. I set it up right after they made the change and don't remember 100%.
But my downloads folder is just the Downloads folder (/home/user/Downloads), I have "What should Firefox do with other files?" set to "Ask whether to open", and for most content types I have "Always ask" (I have "Open in Firefox" for PDF, AV1, and a few others where it's an option).
It's stayed that way for all versions ever since they made the change to save by default, up to almost latest (haven't moved to 121 yet)...
I have tried it myself. My Firefox shows PDFs inline, and "opens" other files (i.e. downloads them to /tmp) only via changing settings (browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline is false for me).
It's not. This can be edited directly in settings from General > Applications.
That's only US courts. Other countries don't even have a procedure for registering copyrights.
They can easily last much longer than 5-6 years. If the age is the only reason you're thinking of switching, you might check its health self-report first.
threads.net is currently blocked. You can see a complete list of blocked instances here. There was a discussion about this when threads first announced plans to federate.
What do you mean thousands at a very gradual rate? I don't think I've sent 1000 emails offer the last year. And even if some people send more, I can't imagine it would be at a pace where that becomes a problem (at least if it's for personal use)...
If you have a VPS with dedicated IP they you (and only you) have used for a while, would it still be blacklisted?
I disagree with the "limitations" they ascribe to the Turing test - if anything, they're implementation issues. For example:
For instance, any of the games played during the test are imitation games designed to test whether or not a machine can imitate a human. The evaluators make decisions solely based on the language or tone of messages they receive.
There's absolutely no reason why the evaluators shouldn't take the content of the messages into account, and use it to judge the reasoning ability of whoever they're chatting with.
No, I want a communal, collaboratively managed platform to recommend things to me based on an open source algorithm whose behavior I can adjust the way I want. Alas, this just isn't a thing.
Just amongst the available options, the closed algorithm optimized for engagement has so far been better at showing me interesting things than an unfiltered chronological feed.
Indeed, my first though was that these are not MY questions.
