It’s called anti-circumvention law and is typically forced into trade agreements by America to allow corporations to enforce IP protection in foreign countries.

Cory Doctorow’s recent talk on it was very informative and he notes how eliminating those laws can be a way for countries to eed dependance on US tech.

It’s very unlikely there will be any meaningful form of tech regulation in the US without significant societal change.

I’m not sure it’s Carney’s popularity any more than PP’s derangement.

I prefer Tubular for Android. It’s a NewPipe fork to implement SponsorBlock and ReturnYoutubeDislike

Yeah, not really the best place to go to be invisible. However, who knows if that’s actually where he’ll go.

Oh StumbleUpon…thou shalt be remembered

What heat are you referring to? Refrigeration simply moves heat using electricity to pump refrigerant through a cycle of physical changes, aka heat pumps.

I recently heard the opinion of Dan Wang that the USA and is a country governed by lawyers, and China is a country governed by engineers.

This tracks.

It’s almost comical (if we weren’t the ones living in it) that our governments seem dumbfounded that people don’t want to have kids when every part of raising children is extremely expensive.

I replayed Subnautica in VR with the mentioned mod not too long ago. It’s an environment that’s perfect for VR and really puts the scale of things in perspective. I found some of the leviathans were a little janky in their movement sometimes, but they were still quite terrifying.

It’s so nice that he could also include all his friends in that picture.

Benn Jordan did a recent video on his…explorations of Flock cameras. Essentially, they’re easily hackable and really should be an urgent matter of national security.

Just blame immigrants for the problem, they’ll let those comments stay for sure.

This looks terrible to use. /c/ergomechkeyboards (or the same on that other website) are where the real ergonomic keyboards are at.

Not surprising in the slightest.

And foreign alfalfa farms.

I think the focus of the article is more on using services deliberately rather than pure privacy, and I think the all or nothing approach to thinking of online privacy as you mention detracts from any positive effects of the little things people just starting their journey may try.

Those big companies don’t care about you. Every small step taken toward privacy is beneficial, even if it’s just eliminating one data point at a time. If you make it harder to find your info, they aren’t going to hire a PI to track you down, there are plenty of easier marks to chase.

The one near me got torn down this year…so not a whole lot I guess.

This is the government’s favourite sport. What do you think all the tariff announcements and later withdrawals are doing?

Tencent’s Arena Breakout is very similar to Tarkov. Like, watching it, you’d just think tarkov got a bit of an update. They don’t really care about IP unless it’s their own.

It would’ve been someone else if not Donny. Power has been consolidated in the executive branch for decades, while that of congress and the senate has eroded. A system designed to be trilateral is no longer so when one of the three can just nope out of whatever the other two say. The US has only been fortunate that it’s taken this long to have someone in that office with no morals.

It was already evident in 2010 that something like this was increasingly possible, as noted in Executive Unbound by Eric Posner.
