Iirc it’s even funnier: the relevant case law comes from Naruto v Slater. A case about a monkey taking a selfie and a photographer failing to acquire copyright of it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_dispute).

The copyright belonged to whoever shot the selfie, but because it was the monkey and animals aren’t juristic entities, they can not hold copyright. Therefore, as it stands and as new case law outlines, AIs are compared to monkeys, in that the copyright would fall onto them but it’s not a juristic entities either, and therefore copyright just vanishes and no one can claim it.

The wikipedia page suggests current cases on generative AI directly build on this.

Tbf statistical calculations put grooming on discord in the higher percentages unfortunately.

That said I don’t get what their endgame is. Blanket ID verifications will clearly eat into their bottom line, making it unsustainable. Either there’s some limits on it that I’m not aware of or they just budget in a huge decrease in margins.

I just don’t get the logic of “we do it to fight grooming”, because it just doesn’t make sense timing wise, but “we do it because UK and Australia are making us do it anyway” also doesn’t pan out because I just cannot imagine the predicted results look manageable.

The results are kinda obvious regardless. Losing their core audience and subsequently twisting their bottom line, just like Facebook.

That’s fucked

My life is on there, and I ain’t gonna give them any ID. Wth do they expect me to do

Yeah if you wanna go tht way you have to go etheral and memory only. That means either a VM with auto reset, or tails or something. However, this is not feasible for the average Linux user.

This is more of a “be aware of your footprint” and less of a “security concern”. This post is pressing hard on the fear of data getting stolen, however none of these things are major ways in which your data gets stolen.

It’s phishing, social engineering, default configurations, weak passwords, no MFA, compromised online-services and supply-chain-attacks, and then, and only then are we even talking about actual CVEs in your local system and app environment. And usually we are talking old ones; for apps which you haven’t updates in a while, as they are the most common.

What I’m saying is for your target audience, this is exactly the wrong thing to focus on. Tech savvy users might wanna look into this but they are very likely aware of all these things, and amateurs definitely should focus their brain on basic security practices.

True

To add to the last point, for an inexperienced user (like me) pacman works almost exactly the same.

Just replace sudo apt install banana with sudo pacman -S banana

And replace sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade with sudo pacman -Syu

Edit: apparently the “-y” switch is a bad idea

I thought I had but I might try this again because if everything does work I’ll move in a heartbeat.

I use AI quite a bit for when I have to deal with something again that doesn’t have a simple documentation or stack overflow / reddit thread, and I know all too well I will never need agentic anything.

The one most useful AI for coding is supermaven, which is literally just auto complete plus but it doesn’t just do things, it works like any other tab completion.

Pretty sure no software dev at windows has ever really given these things a proper workout and still found them essential. Windows is really out here advertising Linux.

I tried but there’s so many things that I need to be able to turn from bad to good in just a few clicks, and that’s basically irreplaceable for me rn.

I tried reaper and even if I learned it more thoroughly it would still result in 3x the time on every single process in song production, mix & master and that’s unacceptable for me.

Heard a lot about bitwig and that would probably be my preferred alternative but that unfortunately still leaves the issue of third party Plugins.

I’ve been trying to find a way to do this properly for quite a while now but I have yet to find a way to do this that’s sustainable long term.

Not trying to talk down your suggestions because I genuinely think they could work for others, just adding more information to why that’s unfortunately not enough for me to switch completely.

Btw for my servers and backup notebooks I already use lots of Linux. Anything not main driver kinda works perfectly with Linux and most of all it keeps on working when I need it. In fact I suspect my hardware will give in before the os and or software will pose any issues.

Honestly right now there’s no way to use 90% of the industry standard audio plugins and most popular DAWs on Linux. FL Studio and Ableton do work on Linux but very unstable and as long as they’re not stable you can kinda skip the latency talk, because stability is quintessential. You are bound to native plugins and as long as alternatives are way harder to use and take longer to learn configure, there’s a massive overhead, not even talking about the ones that genuinely do not work even with wine and or winetricks, bottle, etc…

The same goes for video and photo editing as well as post effects. Although I have to admit you genuinely have more options and some setups even though not much more stable to technically work already.

Games are also annoying but I just don’t play valorant or battlefield 6 or any other games that are kind of incompatible by design, so if that was the only thing I could manage.

And lastly (but everyone knows), office compatibility is still an issue because sometimes I need to do something in Microsoft office to ensure it still works when I send it over.

Honestly the real deal breaker for me is the first paragraph. I currently mix & master a band and produce music by myself, with friends and do small audio jobs for other people. Gimme an environment I don’t have to pour another decade into and I’ll switch. In it’s current state I will not place a bet that if I give it my all things will still work when I need them to and that’s the bare minimum.

I mean romance is all feels and feels are hormones and hormones are science or something

Idk my mom always said something about ornithology and melittology.

No you don’t get it, it’s different this time trust me bro.

I do not understand that title

Draconian

The fuck

IT hobbyist here. This guy knows his stuff. Dangerous attacks are the ones that are very low effort with medium to high reward. This attack is high effort and low reward. This is one of these trivia things, that you will virtually never see in the wild.

As a German, yeah.

That sound really a hard to do.

Basically you have to formulate the right responses that this device is looking for when it is communicating over the Internet.

My only idea is maybe you can capture the device’s request and response using Wireshark and then use a dummy server to fire the same response s back to the device inside your vlan l. You’d also need to set a DNS to reroute the traffic properly. If the device is using encryption layers that’s basically impossible iirc.

Basically you are looking to set up your own very basic mitm for that device.

Dumb question: my bitwarden browser plugin doesn’t work properly of my Vaultwarden doesn’t run https. Right now I’m exposing it under subdomain with self-cert in nginx proxy manager. Could I switch over to using my Headscale with “tailscale serve”? Does this work and can I use it https in that way?
