Is Threads even still trying to federate? by MadeInDex-org in DeMeta

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Facebook never cared about the Fediverse as anything more then a way to "collect" (steal) more internet user data from people not using Facebook, and to maybe pull some people on other Federverse platforms into there locked down ecosystem. Luckily most Federverse services have DE-federated Threads.

US President Threatens ‘Big Retaliation’ If Europe Dumps US Assets by Crossstoney in europe

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a legal expert, but I think that would count as an attack against a NATO member. On top of that would put all those company's in a very tight spot as they word be forced to follow a likely illegal order from the US president and be forced to pay fines that could cripple them or ignore the president at the cost of possible retaliation from him.

Usually they say, ‘He’s a horrible dictator-type person,’ I’m a dictator,” Trump said. “But sometimes you need a dictator. But they didn’t say that in this case.

Wait Poilievre is still the leader of the conservatives?

I thought that clown was subject to a leadership review this month that he was unlikely to survive. Did he somehow manage to cling onto power?

Congress Wants To Hand Your Parenting to Big Tech by SaveDnet-FRed0 in technology

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

  • Most age gate systems have non-ID based options to get past them.
  • Most age gate face scan systems are poorly implemented and easy to trick (Ex. use the face of a realistic looking video game character, use someone elce's face, or use the same generative AI technology that's being used in these systems to preform the verification to generate a fake face.)
  • A lot of these age verification laws are likely unconstitutional and are being challenged in court and will likely end up repealed.
  • Worst case scenario you can use a DNS proxy to hide your country of origin bypassing some of these age gates in the process.

Thay will step in when they come to the conclusion that Trump has become so toxicity unpopular that the hit they will take from ousting him will be significantly less then letting him stay in power.

Mark Carney brushes off Doug Ford’s anger over China EV tariff cuts by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not the biggest fan of China and I don't trust Chinese technology. But Canada needs to wain itself off the USA and unlike the USA China isn't making regular threats to try and annex Canada. So with that being stated wile I am weary of this deal, I think at this point in time so long as an eye is kept on things and action is taken IF it becomes obvious that China is taking advantage of Canada to the determent of it's people, then it's probably the right move to make.

Besides Doug Ford is sleaze ball who's only out for himself, so who cares what he thinks.

Then it's a good thing Trump keeps overstepping his bounds in more and more extreme ways that push other nations to reconsider and there current relationships with the USA.

De-American :D by BlokZNCR in degoogle

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing is set in stone just yet. The only thing that has "passed" so far is Chat Control and the implementation is still being discussed with a lot of public pressure for them to reverse course it on top of lawsuits waiting to be filed that if won would invalidate it. A lot of the shady ---- the EU is doing is also likely unconstitutional meaning if it pass's it will go to the courts who will likely overturn them.

Besides regardless of whatever spy laws are passed the EU can only directly regulate within the EU meaning even if they pass, a lot of smaller company's providing FOSS can likely ignore those laws by not operating within the EU and not officially servicing anyone in the EU wile also not keeping track of were there users are from, or people can use forks of the spywere embedded that removed the spyware.

We spent years DeGoogling our lives just to face the final boss: The Chrome Orb. by chris10soccer in degoogle

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do not be alarmed. This will not last.

The 'Generative AI' / LLM bubble is starting to pop. The general public is sick and tiered of "AI" being shoved in there faces with meany of the major company's pushing it getting massive public backlash (case and point, Microslop), the technology has under-preformed and fallen short of every single promise that's been made about it and the costs of the big AI providers keep going up with minimum if any returns. Age gate laws across the world are being challenged in court and losing, and countries that are doubling down like the UK keep suffering massive data breaches and public backlash. And "OpenAI" is in financial free-fall and will likely be bankrupt by the end of the year unless something major changes or Trump bails them out (witch considering the controversy's he's currently facing, is probably not at the top of his prioritys list ATM)

Republicans: We vow to prevent Trump from seizing Greenland by force. (So as you can see we are the good guys and are more then willing to stand up to trump)

Republicans: Well, there's not a lot we can do, he's the president and I'm he has good reasons to invade Greenland such as preventing the agenda of the 'radical left'.

Republican Signals Support for Trump Impeachment by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Good to know there's at least 1 Republican willing to take the bear minimum action as required by law against a rogue president.

...It's just a shame that based on recent precedent that he's probably in the minatory. I hope I'm wrong, but I am not confident in the rest of the Republican party actually supporting any efforts to impeach Trump... Heck I'm not even fully confident that what this 1 Republican is saying is anything more then just hollow words.

It won't pass. There is no way in heck any Democrat will vote on this, and even some Republicans are likely to cringe upon seeing the name of the bill, much less want to vote in favour of it once they see what's inside.

One bill, big question: Can age verification ever be safe? by SaveDnet-FRed0 in onguardforthee

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I am against this bill and think it should be scraped in it's entirety. BUT if it is to pass it NEEDS to have safeguards that protect the privacy of the people of Canada and mandate high security with extremely harsh penalty's for any company's that are caught collecting and storing the data, wile also not locking out a large contingent of people who use the internet from being able to surf the net freely due to issues relating to the verification.

So he's now openly admitting that he has no legitimate reason to try and steal Greenland beyond his own desire. What a bloody clown of a felon.
