Anthropic has no authority to do as such. Users and third apps are protected by interoperability exceptions found in copyright case law. Trying to prevent competitors from interoperating with the service also may be construed as anticompeti

Open source community detests dilettante attempts at rent seeking by building mediocre wrappers over commodity software. Docker did not invent Linux containers. They did not invent namespaces or chroots. You'll be hard pressed to name

OpenCode is doing nothing wrong and adversarial interoperability is the cornerstone of hacker ethos. As such, the sentiment in this thread is chilling.

Android to this day does not support CTAP 2.1, hence it does not support hardware-bound passkeys with PIN via NFC as transport. You can only do PIN via USB. Google does not care about FIDO or standards compliance. They care about vendor loc

KVM was made because Citrix made moves against Xen that spooked Linux community, hence KVM. Then Red Hat ran with it and based its virtualization platform on it. Citrix involvement has subsided in meantime and the ecosystem is much healthie

The current reference design is not compatible with existing law. eIDAS regulation that is the legal basis for digital wallet mandates unlinkability. GDPR has a general requirement for technical controls to be state of the art. Inherent rel

The legal obligation has to come from relevant member state or EU law. Not third party countries' laws. This at best is force majeure that prohibits OpenAI with satisfying its contractual obligations that are there to comply with EU la

OpenAI is breaching relevant laws that regulate data protection. Being compelled by a foreign power, for instance, are not grounds for data processing under GDPR. OpenAI has not started to "be incompliant" with GDPR with this orde

The order mandates retention of all user data, even of non-Americans. This is a massive extraterritorial overreach and a highlight of how US law has zero regard to data protection as a fundamental human right. As if there were not enough co

And United States still has regulations. Chevron doctrine is not a thing in Europe and European institutions do not get captured by NIMBYs when industry wants to build a railroad, a house or an apartment complex. There are no hundreds of go

Cloud init/Cloud config is a standard way to provision Linux hosts. It is slowly being outcompeted by Ignition and the friends, though.

EU law largely does not regulate national security matters of the states. Though that justification is limited per international law (such as ECHR, which is the basis of many anti-government surveillance rulings by CJEU). All European Union

You cannot barter with fundamental human rights, which right to data protection is (as per Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union), the same way you cannot barter yourself into slavery, even if you insist you are willing and co

Free as in free from coercion. And GDPR has clear language of 'no detriment'.

It's called dark patterns and malicious compliance . The annoying banners in particular, were designed by IAB Tech Lab, which is an industry front for adtech/martech companies.

Consent is never "needed". Consent is one of many legal bases that allows for data processing to take place. If other legal bases than consent do not apply, the industry can use "consent" as a get out of jail card. Conse

By which data is that clear? If anything, GDPR has lead to greater investment in areas that actually matter. Zero knowledge proofs, pseudonymization techniques, user friendly open-source SaaS products such as NextCloud.

The ban is nothing more than an attempt to abridge speech and deny the youth voice in politics. TikTok increasingly has become refuge from censorship occurring on other platforms (see the recent issues). The lawmakers indicated that is the

You can over-provision your own baremetal resources 20x and it will be still cheaper than cloud. The capex talking point is just that, a talking point.

GPC does not meet GDPR's requirements and cannot be used for gaining consent under GDPR. There already has been a browser signal in design that meets GDPR requirements for consent, but it was ignored. The industry instead rallied behin

To the poster, Europe does not exercise outsized antitrust influence in the US. Many of these companies have their tax residency in the EU. There is no need to "deny" anything. If the company gets fined and it refuses to pay the f
