  • 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.

    Is fediverse turning into reddit?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • We hate AI because it's everything we hate

    Jump

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

  • Why do so many conservatives in the US bash on California all the time?

    Jump

  • Because a lot of them know that if there was any kind of safety or training requirements, or a psyche or physical test, they would fail it.

  • He explicitly states that no sensitive informarion gets used. If you believe that, then I have

    ... a bridge to sell you.

    Don't be naive.

  • Like A Cool Summer Breeze

    Jump

  • No problem, thanks for being receptive!

    Modern day breakers are better about failing safe than they used to be, but... still not an intended use, and all it takes it one bad roll of the dice and everyone gets to have a Bad Day. Hence me viewing them, much like you, as things Not To Mess With Unless Needed. :P

  • Like A Cool Summer Breeze

    Jump

  • Just so you know, breakers are not on/off switches. Turning them on/off like that is awful for them, they degrade every time they're tripped. The result of it is, best case, everything on the circuit eventually get destroyed because it's doing weird shit to the electricity going through it because of a bad connection. Worst case scenario is that it can no longer trip when it should and your entire neighborhood burns down.

  • Git experts should try Jujutsu

    Jump

  • Just to jump in here, git submodules and similar are a terrible design pattern that needs killed, not expanded. Create a library properly and stop cutting corners that will bite you in the ass.

    Three seperate companies wanting to do it the lazy, wrong way doesn't suddenly make it a good idea.

  • US tries to deport stateless Palestinian woman again despite judge’s order

    Jump

  • Can't tell if that's a message of support or not, but just in case it's not- trust me, we're trying to get the republicans away from our table.

    And before you say we should leave the table- not all of us have that option.

    If it WAS a message of support... well, everything I said still applies in general lol.

  • US tries to deport stateless Palestinian woman again despite judge’s order

    Jump

  • If you're a Republican, you're supporting this. You can claim you aren't on board all you want, but at the end of the day, you're supporting them.

    Maybe don't, if you don't like what the Republicans party is doing with the support you've given them.
