if at any point there is something on live tv that is also on netflix and you’re using netflix you’re in violation of the law :^)

Xitter might genuinely go out of business before the EU has an opportunity to fine them.

yes, please, piss away the very last of the company’s money on stupid litigation

“unprecedented steps”, followed by “an app”

could be ok, too bad it’s done by capitalists; remember, in the west the prevailing attitude to stuff like stem research is also “ew gross” and china is beating our ass in that area

After some very cursory research I see that copilot is just a chatbot on telegram. Copilot is not built-into telegram, but you can interface with Microsoft’s servers running copilot by “starting a conversation” with it. That does not mean Telegram now ships with Copilot. Believe you me, I have written chatbots for telegram and your installation of it does not ship with my crapware, telegram also doesn’t pay for my server costs, lmao.

Telegram is still unsafe but for a lot of other different reasons. Others have already pointed out the problems Signal has. Matrix is simply not there yet, and it might never be. In reality very little of this matters because your friends will just continue using whatever spyware they were before, your chatgroup will not use your bespoke xmpp solution just to chat with you. Idk, send sensitive stuff over e-mail or something.

This is so rich coming from the UK, the most CCTVed country in the world. Oh no, if we keep doing this insane-o shit we’ll become almost as bad as the image we made up about bad country Jyna.

The emulators themselves are ok, what the problem is is breaking the encryption that nintendo uses for its ROMs.

so, uh, stupid question, but what if i just used a registrar that didn’t give a shit, and isn’t signed up for global block, wouldn’t it completely defeat the purpose?

AI is so unfathomably fucked because unless companies like google permanently prefix every query with “ethnically ambiguous”, it will never generate people of colour unless you ask them to generate images of a litter picker or something; the AI itself is white supremacist and this is their solution to it

naturally, otherwise we’ll replace their job with more automation, again!

first they replaced workers with automated checkouts depriving themselves of the other 20 jobs a “mere” checkout operator had to do; what’ll happen next is now they’ll pair every self-checkout with a checkout operator anyway so you’ll just have someone who’s job is to breathe down your neck to make sure you’re not walking out with one of those 5 in 1, 1 gallon shampoo bottles
