I'm not sure why such a law is needed in the first place. Wouldn't this fall under defamation anyway?

Firefox's private browsing disclaimer is more honest/easy to understand as well: > Private window: Firefox clears your search and browsing history when you close all private windows. This doesn’t make you anonymous.

Also I think the only reason why the BBC was banned in the first place is their BBC in Russian service. See https://www.bbc.com/russian

I think it would be better to ask it to wrap the answer with some known marker like START_DESCRIPTION and END_DESCRIPTION. This way if it refuses you'll be able to tell right away. As another user pointed out, sometimes it doesn't

Yeah, it's probably not a great idea to pay developers with the donation money. I am not sure why I thought it was acceptable, but it is obvious now why this is a terrible idea. Prolific devs could setup a Patreon/Librepay if they

As an OpenWRT user, I am very optimistic about this. I'm sure almost all users would fork in money for this instead of going for hostile mainstream companies. Also the USB-C UART and recovery read-only bootloader is a nice touch. Reall

That's the obvious thing they'd want to do, but the thing is.. we're talking about human beings here. What are the unintended consequences of this policy? Could this cause discontent that could threaten the existence of the C

Does that mean they're building the package about 2 times and maybe even more if systemd support needs to be there? As far as I know, Gentoo supports musl/glibc and could support either systemd or openrc... (some packages link aga

The attack still works and it is less obvious than you might expect. For context, an SCR file is a regular executable, treated the same as a .EXE or .COM. From https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1036/002/ :

sshd still needs to run as root for that, this is pointless. Maybe some people think that message passing to a root process is less of an attack surface, but I don't think there's actually a meaningful difference.

Right now a lot of the data collection is done in the hopes that it becomes useful, AI makes it possible to draw conclusions on ALL the data they're collecting on everyone at all times.

Does that happen even with Bard Activity turned off? It's kind of silly of Google because the types of queries I would send to Bard are the type that I wouldn't care to see as adverts anyway!

Well, that and also when you set "Desktop site" in mobile Chromium it will report a user-agent which matches that of desktop Linux on ARM. So it is most likely trying to target those devices as well.

I'd expect this to be pitched as a way for a site to figure out whether to try to save power, but this begs the question why not just add an API to get power saving mode state?

They used to "require" a subscription of 1$/year but it was not enforced. If you missed the deadline, nothing happened. It was basically the WinRAR model but for an online service.

I agree with you here, unless you've vetted that GPG public key very well .... it is indeed no better than trusting the CA. In a way, having JavaScript client-side verification of files as an option would be as secure (if not more secu
