And carting CDs and vinyl around used a lot more energy still.

We should focus on increasing renewable energy production, not degrowth.

Why not just leave it up to the users? Maybe put a warning?

Why does the government have to ban everything and treat us like children?

They should really mandate open firmware and bootloaders, and even spec sheets, etc. for deprecated hardware.

People created fake photoshop images long before AI…

What is the Mastodon Lemmy.world equivalent? Like a big, neutral server with minimal censorship and bullshit, and access to most other servers?

He’s winning against the gangs though - every Salvadorean I know supports him.

More that you’d never need to provide it, but many transactions will also require 2FA, even by the credit card.

The real answer here is to have decent digital ID as 2-factor authentication.

This scam would be practically impossible in Sweden with BankID for example.

Yeah, for both OpenVPN and Wireguard.

On Linux you can do this with full control via network namespaces. I use vopono to automate it - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono

But if you can afford it I’d recommend paying for Proton’s services as they offer a lot together, or a low-end VPS (where you could do it yourself, although be careful to find ones that don’t ban hosting Wireguard, etc. for example). Both are really useful if you want to test making something local available on the Internet e.g. ports for multiplayer games or a webserver prototype.

IIRC it’s because it comes from before when Apple was sued over charging 25-30% of all eBooks sales while pushing iBooks.

See: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/12/eu-investigating-whether-publishers-conspired-with-apple-on-e-book-pricing/

It was a while ago though so hard to find good sources now.

It’s definitely newsworthy when the results are being incorporated into search engines like Bing.

So that makes it okay for massively popular LLM models to spread defamatory lies about him?

Another benefit of using network namespaces is that I can just disable IPv6 in the network namespace itself.

On Linux you can use network namespaces for the same effect (and then a firewall) - this way it doesn’t affect other applications running.

I do it with vopono.

ProtonVPN for port forwarding, Mullvad for easy usage (Wireguard on Linux).

I use vopono on Linux too.

It was the fashion at the time /s

This sucks as all new TVs use HDMI2.1 for modern features and modern games consoles rely on those for 4k 60Hz HDR, etc.

So now Valve can’t just make their own home console with Steam OS for TVs directly (and support high-end features at least).

How long until people will be carrying Raspberry Pis over the borders for their own hotspots? /s

It’s crazy how quickly mass censorship is becoming commonplace though. From shadowbanning on Reddit and Twitter, to court blocking in the UK, Spain and Italy.

The DMA is a good thing helping to stop monopoly positions, not all regulation is bad, but it’s not all good either.

Whereas the AI act is entrenching monopolies by making it much harder for startups and Open Source AI to function in the EU.
