I mean, you can sue pretty much anyone for anything, but fair… It is technically a ruling
It’s still just a policy though, which means it’s easy to change or to do unofficially if the courts reject it (which seems unlikely right now, but I’d love to see it happen)
Fair. And it only goes our way if Linux devs take a stand in the first place…I think they will. I hope they will
And if everyone used E2E encryption for their private messaging like everyone who understands the topic has been pushing for decades, signal users wouldn’t stand out
The state cannot enforce this, it still relies on compliance in advance
It’s not a ruling, the FCC was ordered decided that they’re not going to certify any new foreign made home routing equipment. No certification means the radios won’t be legal for consumers to operate
This isn’t a law or judicial ruling, it’s policy
Technologically, yes, they could easily identify non-compliance with how much data is being collected these days
Logistically though? How are they going to enforce this? Sue every open source project that circumvents this? Block downloads of it with a great firewall? Fine end users? It’s just not feasible
Realistically, they’re going to go after the OSes with the biggest market share. Google, Microsoft, and Apple will be forced to comply on new devices, and maybe they’ll try to make an example or two to get compliance in advance
It sounds like you’re using them correctly, but a little PSA on safe use
Surprisingly it’s not the people “dating” an AI that get dumber and fall into psychotic loops - it’s the people who let it help them make decisions and brainstorm ideas
Do not use it like a magic eight ball. Use it like a tool, use it like a toy, do not become codependent on the AI
repeated support from money that should have been smarter then that
Why would you think that? Look around, everything humanity does is absurd
Have you tried looking for a theater that does Chinese subtitles?
It’s a thing that exists, you might find it in a populated area but it’s not super common.
You could also find a Chinese movie with English subtitles, that’s probably a lot more common
A domain is a url, like oaksprout.com. A provider is a server/computer that the domain points at. Many services sell both together at an upcharge, but a domain itself usually costs like ~$15 a year
If an IP address is a mailing address, imagine a domain as a way to pay the post office so people can just address it to oaksprout. You could have them forward your mail to your house, or you could send it to a PO box or business address, and change it whenever you want
The provider is like the mailbox in this metaphor… It receives the mail and holds it for you
