It has to be a butthole. That’s the popular current trend.

I have a bridge to sell you.

I recognize that as some part of a saying indicating someone is gullible, but don’t actually know the source. I know this is off-topic, but where does this come from?

What does that have to do with anything here?? I don’t know about you, but my likeness is not permanently located in a public space…

Freedom of panorama (FoP) is a provision in the copyright laws of various jurisdictions that permits taking photographs and video footage and creating other images (such as paintings) of buildings and sometimes sculptures and other art works which are permanently located in a public space, without infringing on any copyright that may otherwise subsist in such works, and the publishing of such images.

Same scam as before, just made a lot easier by AI bullshit unfortunately.

does VoLTE work? Basically all carriers in the us use this and we knocked down all of the old tech towers. My understanding is the EU still has all the old towers up for just voice calls and don’t need VoLTE to work.

Quick web search suggests it is a “beta” feature at best currently :(

Won’t be surprised if the ISP provided hardware is going to be the only allowed stuff. For you and me, not for the gov’t or companies though. They specifically only mentioned “consumer grade” and also specifically state that products sold to or used by the federal gov’t are not restricted at all. Seems like that carve-out is backwards if these things are such big “security risks”…

Well there’s no arguing with that…

within??

This or one of the other “Arch but easier” distros like CachyOS or Garuda Linux. I’ve been running Garuda happily for about 4 years now, and recently put CachyOS on my laptop to play with it and so far it’s been great too.

It’s like 7 different states at varying stages of “passed” and Meta’s lobby is working on more for sure, wouldn’t be surprised if they were also work on a federal version too.

Glad to hear it didn’t turn your macbook soft or even, god forbid, liquid.

I think it is absolutely delusional to assume any of this actually has anything to do with security or safety of users. Google just wants more power and control over, well, everything they can get.

I’d believe that if most Pig Butchering scams weren’t using apps from Google Play already.

Collecting data on kids is extremely valuable to these companies

Nope - it is extremely risky/costly. Facebook is actively pushing for these laws to push the “blame” onto the OS to get out of a potential $50 Billion worth of fines due to COPPA violations for collecting data on kids. Facebook wants the OS to do all of the actual collecting of data while being required to share that data with Facebook - they get all of the benefit of stealing your data without any of the liability (or work). That’s the entire point of these laws.

I don’t understand.

That’s obvious.

I think the issue there is the data doesn’t tell anyone “why”, it only tells “what”.

And yet, if you walk into any discussion about LLM use in coding, devs come out in droves to defend and even champion its use…

That’s good news, if more people in your area were like you, they could probably open another AI data center and only jack your rates up a little bit. :)

I wrote one of my representatives once to tell him I disagreed with his stance on some tech-related bill or another several years ago, and urged him to reconsider. I got a canned response from his office thanking me for “my support” and basically “agreeing” with me that the rep’s original stance is correct and good and just, with a little sprinkle of obviously not understanding the bill at all dusted throughout. He is still my representative like 12 years later. I still get his newsletter in my e-mail regularly because his “unsubscribe” link doesn’t work (never mind that I never subscribed to a newsletter, I e-mailed my representative…).

Our system is far more broken than anyone wants to admit.

You may recommend it all you like, but I’m not a huge fan of that either (from what I can tell looking at the githup you linked anyway), lol.
