What does that have to do with anything here?? I don’t know about you, but my likeness is not permanently located in a public space…

Freedom of panorama (FoP) is a provision in the copyright laws of various jurisdictions that permits taking photographs and video footage and creating other images (such as paintings) of buildings and sometimes sculptures and other art works which are permanently located in a public space, without infringing on any copyright that may otherwise subsist in such works, and the publishing of such images.

Same scam as before, just made a lot easier by AI bullshit unfortunately.

I fucking hate grammarly. And the modern Outlook webmail suggestions can go eat a back of dicks as well.

does VoLTE work? Basically all carriers in the us use this and we knocked down all of the old tech towers. My understanding is the EU still has all the old towers up for just voice calls and don’t need VoLTE to work.

Quick web search suggests it is a “beta” feature at best currently :(

Won’t be surprised if the ISP provided hardware is going to be the only allowed stuff. For you and me, not for the gov’t or companies though. They specifically only mentioned “consumer grade” and also specifically state that products sold to or used by the federal gov’t are not restricted at all. Seems like that carve-out is backwards if these things are such big “security risks”…

Jumping in on this, if it is a survival crafty type of game, like minecraft or something, I REALLY want some way to sort my inventory. I don’t want to spend 10 minutes every time I get back to my base sorting stuff into chests, I want to dump it all into the “dump chest” and have something else sort it for me. I will happily spend the hour to do the initial setup telling whatever system what items go where, and the extra 30 seconds every time I add a new chest or item.

IMO an example of this done well is The Planet Crafter with drones. I wish they got unlocked a little sooner, but once they do it’s fantastic.

My partner and I landed on “Captain” (or the truncated “Cap’n”). But that might be all the star trek we watch bleeding over (I never thought having “make it so, number 1” whispered in my ear would be so hot).

It’s like 7 different states at varying stages of “passed” and Meta’s lobby is working on more for sure, wouldn’t be surprised if they were also work on a federal version too.

I think it is absolutely delusional to assume any of this actually has anything to do with security or safety of users. Google just wants more power and control over, well, everything they can get.

I’d believe that if most Pig Butchering scams weren’t using apps from Google Play already.

I think the issue there is the data doesn’t tell anyone “why”, it only tells “what”.

And yet, if you walk into any discussion about LLM use in coding, devs come out in droves to defend and even champion its use…

I wrote one of my representatives once to tell him I disagreed with his stance on some tech-related bill or another several years ago, and urged him to reconsider. I got a canned response from his office thanking me for “my support” and basically “agreeing” with me that the rep’s original stance is correct and good and just, with a little sprinkle of obviously not understanding the bill at all dusted throughout. He is still my representative like 12 years later. I still get his newsletter in my e-mail regularly because his “unsubscribe” link doesn’t work (never mind that I never subscribed to a newsletter, I e-mailed my representative…).

Our system is far more broken than anyone wants to admit.

I like Jello! My favorite flavor is Lime, how about you? 😃

Also, 4G was the dominant mobile technology for over 10 years, there are probably close to 10 BILLION 4G phones on the planet, WOW! 🤯 It sure seems like someone was able to make a phone with such hardware!

but it is about software, not hardware.

Hey Bestie! Sorry, but you are absolutely wrong here. 😊

There are several options for free and open source software for mobile applications, and it only works with a teeny tiny sliver of the available hardware because almost none of the hardware is even remotely open. 😭

At this stage, it is absolutely about hardware that actually supports the Open Source community, because all the software imaginable is useless if it can’t run on any available hardware! 😁

Kthx, Lots of Love! 🤩

For me it was Simpsons and Clerks 2.

“And that’s when the CHUDs came in”.

Oh good, so when AOSP is dead in the water, at least GrapheneOS can release hardware without an OS on it?

I guess there is logic to it, the most secure mobile device you can have is none…

Not sure why everyone seems to think GrapheneOS is going to be immune and unaffected by Google actively trying to fuck AOSP to death.

I’m not sure I’m mentally prepared to replay it. The first time through nearly kicked off an early mid-life crisis. I was waking up in cold sweats having an existential crisis for like a week. Such a good game, but at least in my case, absolutely zero replay-ability. lol

Oh, yea, like in the game’s present you are right. I was meaning in the game’s past; where all the humans went and what info you get through the like audio logs or whatever.

Guess it should be wrapped in spoiler tags just in case…
