Although I use Xubuntu on an old laptop, I'm hoping this is an option rather than a "suck it up!" change. I'd rather just enter a password...

My dislike of Go comes from the fact I've never been able to win it. So because of that, I refuse to play it. :P

by Jigsy 3y ago
True. I just meant in a general sense. I love playing it.

Probably because they have Shogi, which is also fun to play. They also like Go, which I hate. Absolutely love Mahjong, though. (Thanks Yakuza series!)

Purely speculation for the most part.

Obviously if it's using actual CSAM then the image in question should be illegal, but that sounds like something that would already be covered under existing laws anyway.

I'm probably the outlier in this regard, but I'd rather pedophiles and child molesters use AI rather than go out and endanger real kids. (Or endanger by proxy.) It's like countries like the Australia, Canada or the UK banning

It isn't, though. I'd say it's 50/50. I started using the Internet in 1998, and the only advice my parents gave me was "Don't reveal anything about yourself online." (Thankfully I heeded their warning and

Online safety for kids begins at home. The problem is most parents are just too lazy.

I'm not sure why people are assuming they've abandoned the idea. They've simply said it's not technically feasible. Which implies that later - through the power of delusions of grandeur - that it will become feasible.

Yeah, goto gets a bad wrap imo. I mean, sure, nobody should be using it for loops, but if you're jumping right to the end of a function (or a while loop) and doing cleanup operations, is that such a bad thing?

Well, if the Police and Military have done nothing wrong, they've got nothing to hide.

I personally won't use Signal because "Requires my phone number?" = Nope. But good on her for sticking with her principles. I did decide to use Session as a result of this bill, though, since that routes through a Tor-like sy

So unworkable. I've personally never used Tor, but the moment this bill goes live, I'll be setting up Whonix in a VM on Linux OS.

People always seem to conveniently forget this. Labour are the party who passed that very nasty "Tell us your password or go to prison" law under "If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide from law en

It's amazing how many people are surprised by Labour suggesting this, considering it's the same party that introduced that "Tell us your password or go to prison." law.

A planned new law would make sharing pornographic deepfakes without consent a crime in England and Wales. Tackling the rise in manipulated images, where a person's face is put on someone else's body, is part of a crackdown on the
