> Terrorists cause far more physical harm than all of crypto will ever do. Do we ban Signal and Telegram repos so that we can "protect the people"?
This is a stupid summary with glaring false statements. It should be rightly ridiculed and rejected.
The issue here is that ME can be disabled but intel doesn't want you, the "normal consumer", to disable it. Why?
>> Conduct research and draw conclusions. Don't speculate.
Heavens me, my cough is acting up. I wonder why. I'm glad other countries stepped up and are starting to regulate these companies since the US is obviously refusing to do so.
In all ser
> I would not assume that the reactions to simulated sexuality is the same as simulated violence.
A would not assume anything. Conduct research and draw conclusions. Don't speculate.
Hasn't this nonsense been thoroughly debunked by multiple studies at this point? I would assume evidence and "modern thinking" supports the exact opposite of what you claim, unless by modern thinking you mean the same thinking that tries to hide research they don't like.
Video games do not cause violence. End of story.
I'm absolutely certain Linux has been used to kill children. Detergent, pesticide, and even pillows too!
Tools shouldn't be limited based on what the worst way they can be used. Stable diffusion is an absolute positive for society. Even when it's used to generate CP, every image that model creates is not one that involves a real kid.
The cat is out of the bag when OpenAI announced DALLE. Stable Diffusion only accelerated it a bit. Even if Sablity or lawmakers manage to prevent or outlaw open models, criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws.
The only thing their reluctance does is harm Stability and give their competition a chance to catch up. Perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe it's time for another organization to take the lead.
- Arbitrary Add-ons on Firefox for Android when?
- Dev tools on Android when?
Note that I switched to using a Chromium-based browser on Android because it actually cared enough to supports both these things.
Mozilla, listen to your existing users (what few remain of them). You will never get the userbase you're gunning for by mimicking your competitors.
I would have assumed that this issue would be quickly addressed by aftermarket suppliers just like it would with any other car manufacturer. Are Tesla like Apple? (i.e abuse laws and technology to lock customers in)
Do they go after third party suppliers/parts?
"Ethicists" act like society will somehow not adapt to this tech like they have with all the tech that came before it. I put ethicists in quotes because the arguments they use don't hold up to scrutiny and don't seem to be motivated by real ethical concerns. At least not to me.
Putting it in terms you might better understand: What the feds seized is equivalent to a foreign, chip-only banking card. They never seized the money behind it or the pin required to move that money.
These days I don't use Firefox because I want to, but because it's the least worse choice.
I'm confident their hostile behavior towards user control is one of the reasons why they're hemorrhaging users. And no, giving users way to change UI colors not control. It's a fucking pacifier and an insult.
Microsoft: "Sorry $site_owner, We (some unaccountable ML model) detected that you have violated some rule (we will not tell you which) and as a result, your website can no longer be accessed.
This decision is final and permanent."
There are other ways to protect user privacy without conveniently putting yourself in charge. They pulled the same move with UEFI and secure boot
Microsoft needs to be investigated and fined.
Good.
For me the real test for VR stuff, and why I haven't bothered with current VR offerings at all, is how much freedom you really have. Most platforms I heard of so far impose weird, often ideologically/culturally-driven, restrictions on your actions and content that it just isn't worth my time. Even open source software, like Stable Diffusion, can suffer from this (yes, you can edit the code to remove filters, but most people can't and won't).
Normal people, even some seniors I talked with, are starting to notice the excessive influence and control big tech is exerting on our interactions with each other. If Third Room plays this right, and I hope they do, I believe they have a genuine shot at being the Firefox to Meta's IE before it ever becomes a thing.
Good luck to everyone involved.
It's been a long time since I've been able to write anything in Rust despite loving the language. My last hopes for Rust are now in gcc-rs splitting the Rust ecosystem into two; the current npm-style crates.io ecosystem and a more destro-centric properly vetted package ecosystem. If this doesn't happen, I'll just continue to use other languages or limit my dependencies to those with sane package management (usually this means libraries written in C) until something better pops up.
