I think we should find alternative ways, provided they don’t already exist, to ban predators and bad actors that doesn’t punish the entire userbase. Unfortunately, with initially ethical control comes state- and money- sponsored surveillance and oppression. It is seemingly impossible for the former to be free of the latter.
We’re already bombarded by services requiring users give up their age in order to be placed in data farming and advertising categories, with some banning those who cannot be farmed. Hell, every social media provider’s user age limit is 13 as per the EU GDPR – regulators only need to increase that age to 15/16 if they’re uncomfortable with its current level.
And no - I do not see a way to enforce age restriction without breaching basic rights to privacy. The only reason services demand your permission for cookies, device information, identifying data etc. is because the regulators mandate they cannot take your data without your permission. If they cannot find a way to sandbox the under-18 internet from the over-17 internet, then we should just keep the existing rules and expand support for victims. I dont believe there is an ethical solution for preventative measures.
I don’t recognise the state law as a righteous law anyway - there are more important laws than the opinionated statements of a few hundred aging or dead men. State law might govern the low-income population but it does not govern or define fact or reality, as reality is irrefutable and empirical.
By labeling Palestine Action as a terrorist group, without delving into the broadness of their own definition, the government imply to the public that the group is cruel or manipulates using terror, which is false as PA do not participate in cruelty.
Essentially, musicians in an orchestra play the instruments, while the conductor plays the musicians. In both contexts they guide the instrument to make a specific note at a specific time, intensity and timbre, for a specific duration.
As for how the musicians interpret the movements, not sure. Perhaps it’s unique to every orchestra and relies on the familiarity between musician and conductor.
I work the other way. If I need or want it, but it’s on <insert (physically, mentally, financially, environmentally, or privacy-wise) harmful corporation here>, I don’t need or want it. There’s always an alternative elsewhere.
This, obviously laws are regional - fwiw in mine it’s only illegal to distribute, or as I understand it, the original person ripping the media is the one doing the act of pirating. What we do - download it - is not piracy. I don’t know what some folks’ law enforcement tells them but taking what’s already taken isn’t piracy.
They would likely bitch about many of us though, as we have been redistributing, in the form of seeding and/or sharing with family and friends.
Step 1: Buy £6,000 worth of identical hard drives and a motherboard with 16 SATA ports. Or £12,000 worth and a RAID 1 server rig. Or £24,000 and RAID 6
Build a multinational resistance of ‘extremist terrorists’ willing to kill and be arrested, team with Anonymous, and wait for Luigi Mangione to be ready to join us.
Because, as the US and UK governments would have us believe, the term ‘terrorist’ means someone who threatens not the lives of the innocent, but the possessions of the financially rich, morally corrupt and politically powerful.
The general knowledge of prefixes, suffixes and sentence structure of the language families/subgroups, in order to better grasp a basic understanding of a common language when I encounter it, and be more respective - for example knowing when to use -kun, Fraulein, señora, and courteous actions native to the locale
Afaik copyrighted, DRM-protected content is encrypted at bitstream-level, meaning only licensed receivers have the ability to decrypt it. If the receiver, aka the pirate, doesn’t have the key, that portion of the stream will be blank or substituted before transmitting to the viewer.
Maybe a Wayland integration in the browser is the solution to this - if it’s built in there may be a setting in the browser to enable playing DRM content
I just set up LibreELEC on my Proxmox machine, on a VM with monitor passthrough and Bluetooth passthrough so I can use my Chromecast remote and stream audio, then installed the Emby Next Gen addon to access my library on it. Super happy rn.
Especially as I’ve been until now using the 2022 Chromecast with Google TV and, now they’ve brought out another device, it’s been breaking slowly. The wireless chip has been spazzing out to the point that every day it loses connection and the only solution left that works is to forget the WiFi and use my phone to quick-add it back via QR code. Even then it’s started constantly saying ‘connection lost’ and ‘connection restored’ during playback. Well, a few days ago it started breaking connection to its (Bluetooth) remote as well, meaning I kept having to use my backup remote on Home Assistant that uses wireless ADB. When both wireless breaks, my only option is to use the Chromecast’s button to trigger re-adding the remote. And when that fails, well…
