Lets not set the precedent that you should ever get in a car of someone claiming to be an ICE agent.

No idea how well it would actually work, but having https://www.howtoinventeverything.com/ (link to the book’s website, not amazon, because fuck amazon) as a reference manual would probably not be a terrible idea.

I know a guy in college whose dorm ended up with a wifi naming theme. Someone (highly suspected to be the passive aggressive super religious fundie on the floor above) changed their wifi name to “Stop, we can all hear you having sex”

So naturally, someone changed theirs to ‘I can hear you NOT having sex’

at that point it was on lol.

What stats prove ‘success’? That racist immigration policies reduce immigration? That’s not a success, that’s isolation and stagnation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Found atomicpoet’s alt account.

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.

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.

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.

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?

The problem is that there’s basically no way to use it responsibly.

Yes? The shapes of countries- and their relation to other countries around them- is literally the most important part of learning geography in some respects, because of how much that shape is influenced by- and has been influenced by- the surroundings, the socioeconomic and sociopolitical history, etc etc.
