“It votes for the geezer or it gets the facist again.”

And has anyone who’s actually written any of those laws used a computer for more than basic day-to-day office/home tasks?

I’d love to see how they plan on enforcing that. What are they gonna do, send in a fucking swat team to take anything that doesn’t have hardware level DRM?

I can’t imagine we’ll get to a world where the only chips that don’t have shit like that are horribly obsolete. Though I could totally see one in which all high-end chipsets do unfortunately.

This is why I hope RISC-V takes off. The more we can free our hardware/software the better.

It can’t. Simply put. I mean it’s not even a question of whether we should, its you’re fucking not going to.

I have a raid array in my basement containing literally terabytes of illegally pirated media. Most people have at least consumed one or two pirated pieces of media.

How’s the enforcement for those illegal files going?

The only way to really do that would be to essentially make it impossible to have easy, private, secure, and anonymous access to the internet and freedom respecting computing.

Those things are, as far as I’m concerned, inalienable human rights.

If that’s your goal please never touch any regulation involving the internet ever.

What an awful and terrifying thought.

At least it would be if internet regulation was practically enforceable for anyone other than commercial businesses operating out in the open.

Yeah that doesn’t mean they’re not fucking cops, and thinking “they don’t raid innocent peoples houses” is pretty fucked imo. Regardless of what’s going on with this lady.

Not only are they human, they’re cops of course they fuck up.

Yes please tell me more about how cops never get anything wrong…

Yeah lotta homegrown bedroom hackers will outdo any churned out bootcamp programmers, and absolutely compete with college graduates. Though for everyone of those there’s 100 claiming to be one.

No ones will to pay for good programmers and if they are they’re not willing to give them the resources or time.

Arguably though, if you give them those hormones its just fucking weird and not immoral.

Plus its not like chickens don’t eat their own eggs, any one who’s owned then can tell you what happens the moment one of them gets cracked.

Arguably the whole act of eating is yicky. As long as the food is good for you and doesn’t taste bad does it matter how weird the source is? Especially when not everyone has enough to eat?
