  • Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books

    Jump

  • They actually walked that back using blu-rays as an excuse. If there's any sort of DRM/encryption/etc, you're completely unallowed to circumvent it, even for personal backup.

  • If you scroll down a bit, I actually already answered that question in this exact threat, one reply down.

  • Looks like I mixed up two different cases- the cause of one, and the duration of another.

    weev (who apparently is a giant asshole) was the one who got sent to jail for accessing a completely public URL AT&T wished he didn't in 2010. The EFF took up his case. His sentence was later vacated by another court because so many civil rights lawyers kept joining his team pro-bono so the court tossed it out on a blatant technicality to get the issue to go away, so he only served ~2y.

    As for the CFAA being used to slap people with life sentences, there's too many examples to know which one I was mixing it up with. Aaron Swartz is the classic example.

  • Theoretically, yes. Realistically, judges historically believe anything prosecutors tell them about hacking and circumvention.

    There's been people thrown in jail for the rest of their life for the crime of clicking a public URL that the company didn't intend to be public.

  • The encryption circumvention is irrelevant.

    Oh you sweet summer child, judges will bend over backwards to slap people with multi-decade-to-life charges for 'hacking,' even if the 'hacking' is just the rightsholder accidentally presenting data to you.

    Homeowner Baffled After Washing Machine Uses 3.6GB of Internet Data a Day

    Jump

  • Nah, people jumped on that, but it was them misunderstanding a misattributing of some imessage stuff. The washer was still dealing with shitloads of bandwidth.

  • Germany updates: AfD tops poll with highest support ever

    Jump

  • You realize you literally just linked a page that verifies everything I said wrong with the Danish system, right? And I didn't call Danish left wing parties far right, I called the immigration policy far-right.

    Take your sealioning elsewhere.

  • Germany updates: AfD tops poll with highest support ever

    Jump

  • Just so everyone knows what 'reasonable' immigration policies Denmark has that this guy is touting, they're all hardline far-right immigration policies.

    Highlights include stealing all valuables from asylum seekers and leaving them with literally fucking nothing to 'justify paying for their stay,' rejecting asylum applicants if their specific area of their country is not actively under attack (because wars NEVER spread to involve other sections of the same country), any municipality with too high of a population of migrants is deemed a ghetto and demolished, the government attempted to house all immigrants on an isolated island whose only other purpose was a centre for contagious animals (I wish I was making this up), etc etc. The UN officially considers Danish immigration policies to be 'incompatible' with human rights, and to disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities.

    Denmark doesn't have far right parties gaining power on the back of immigration rhetoric because they've already achieved it.

    This is just racism, and don't let anyone concern troll you into thinking otherwise.

  • That's a whole lot of words to try and justify racism.

  • Priced out of traditional housing, more Americans are living in RVs

    Jump

  • annoyances always happened (like, i’d say to a friend i’d meet them at 3pm, and it’s a 10 minute drive, and we start driving at 2:40pm, and then my mother remembers she has to go grocery shopping first, which takes 45 minutes, and she does that before dropping me off at my friend’s place, stuff like that). It was frustrating.

    Yeah, that's just absolute bullshit. What the fuck.

  • There's always a British tourist

    Jump

  • It doesn't, the dude is just racist and too much of a coward to even own up to it. So he tries to hide it behind made-up 'justifications' like wars that never happened, or colonization of places that famously couldn't be colonized.

    Is fediverse turning into reddit?

    Jump

  • Found atomicpoet's alt account.

  • Right?

    Jump

  • You need to remember that right wingers are pretty terrible at recognizing their own bias. When Robinson's friends are like 'we're a completely political neutral discord, praise God almighty', you need to understand what's actually being said when they also claim that Robinson was 'politically neutral.'

  • Plex got hacked.

    Jump

  • Bruh. You were being a prick about it long before he called you out on a being said prick. It's why he called you a prick.

  • During their visit to the United States, President Trump showed President Zelensky and President Macron his collection of MAGA hats

    Jump

  • No, we don't agree. You're a MAGA trying to blame Joe Biden for the evils of other people, or even the inactions of other people. Biden isn't a prosecutor, nor is he a judge.

    Nice name by the way, rather gives you away.

  • During their visit to the United States, President Trump showed President Zelensky and President Macron his collection of MAGA hats

    Jump

  • Oh,, fuck that shit, no, the reason we're in this mess to begin with is because rich douchebags won't get their fucking dicks out of politics because woe is them someone might actually take their ill-begotten gains to benefit everyone, so they propped up a fucking fascist and then bought all the media to make idiots like you blame Biden for it.

  • Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

    Jump

  • This sort of dipshittery is exactly why the democratic party keeps trotting out center-right nobodies that fail to energize their base, and why actual progressives like Mamdani are doing so well despite widespread attempts by the left AND right to pretend he's not.

    To be as polite as possible on the matter? Shut the fuck up, and take your lies elsewhere.

  • Anyone else guilty of this?

    Jump

  • my man, my only experience with your comments is this very thread, and that's all I need to know that your bans were justified. Your ban from this community is going to be justified too.

  • We hate AI because it's everything we hate

    Jump

  • The problem is, who do you define as professionals? I'm a professional software engineer. I argue that there is no responsible way to use AI at the moment- it uses too many resources for a far too worthless result. Everything useful that an AI can do is currently better (and cheaper) to do another way, save perhaps live transcription.

    Do you define Sam Altman as a professional? Because his guidance wants the entire world to give up 10% of the worldwide GDP to his company (yes, seriously!) He's clearly touched in the head, or on drugs. Should we follow his advice?
