While China has warned the West against 'decoupling', the country’s censorship system is designed for the purpose of isolation, report says
  • Unix Surrealist Tech Mage Webcomics are not supposed to be a documentary lol.

    I think that's hardly an immediate worry, though. Various services already scan for illegal content or suspicious activity. It wouldn't take much to get ISPs to snitch on their customers.

    Stop using proprietary platforms and services, start bouncing your traffic off of foreign VPNs.

    The internet was literally built to tear down borders, not help enforce them. Technologists will find a way around the red tape set up by bitter old men in suits.

  • And has anyone who's actually written any of those laws used a computer for more than basic day-to-day office/home tasks?

    I'd love to see how they plan on enforcing that. What are they gonna do, send in a fucking swat team to take anything that doesn't have hardware level DRM?

    I can't imagine we'll get to a world where the only chips that don't have shit like that are horribly obsolete. Though I could totally see one in which all high-end chipsets do unfortunately.

    This is why I hope RISC-V takes off. The more we can free our hardware/software the better.

  • It can't. Simply put. I mean it's not even a question of whether we should, its you're fucking not going to.

    I have a raid array in my basement containing literally terabytes of illegally pirated media. Most people have at least consumed one or two pirated pieces of media.

    How's the enforcement for those illegal files going?

  • The only way to really do that would be to essentially make it impossible to have easy, private, secure, and anonymous access to the internet and freedom respecting computing.

    Those things are, as far as I'm concerned, inalienable human rights.

    If that's your goal please never touch any regulation involving the internet ever.

  • The Solar Pedilio Aimed To Be a Replacement for Cars but Vanished From the News Instead
  • The point is by building cars more like scooters you'd get more car drivers into vehicles which aren't causing issues in the same way cars do now.

    A lot of people don't like getting rained on, others may be disabled and need a traditional car seat. There are a number of valid reasons I can think of for something like that. Which is probably why they're so popular in the developing world.

  • He remains at large
  • Well that's the fucked part of it. There's more of them than people. I hate to be that asshole who says "you're only hurting the bad guys with gun control" because theres issues with that argument, but in a lot of ways it applies to the US just because theres so fucking many. You can't get rid of them.

    Take away them away and these two groups will still have them:

    1. Criminals (both violent and, many newly created, non-violent criminals)
    2. Cops (violent state-sanctioned gang with badges)

    Not sure that's really a good outcome either.

  • ‘I am innocent': Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao speaks days after FBI search at her home
  • Yeah that doesn't mean they're not fucking cops, and thinking "they don't raid innocent peoples houses" is pretty fucked imo. Regardless of what's going on with this lady.

    Not only are they human, they're cops of course they fuck up.
