Me not having the spoons to debate a necro comment doesn’t make you right. ✌️

I dunno mate, go read the wikipedia article or something.

You know where else it’s easy to run Windows 11? In a VM on Linux.

A lot of the things they’ve said are either incorrect or contradicts other parts they’ve said.

I mean, their entire argument was that Apple is more private and more secure. So if you think that’s incorrect, you therefore must believe Stock Android is more private and more secure, no?

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaaa, oh wait, you’re serious? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Edit: I know I’m being a fair bit of a jerk in the rest of my comment, but this is pawssibly the most ridiculous assertion that I’ve seen on Lemmy, and I have no idea how to pawperly refute it.

I keep seeing things about how x, y or z company “caved” to government pressure, as if companies have ever made value judgements in the modern era. What this decision would have come down to, the only thing it could legally come down to, is shareholder value. Considering Apple secured a reprieve on tariffs, it’s absolutely within reason that Trump and/or his administration threatened them with cancelling said reprieve. At that point, the decision would be based off the loss of sales for taking it down, against the loss of sales of devices due to tariff price increases.

Apple has a fiduciary duty to their shareholders first and foremost. There is nothing stopping this batshit insane administration from enacting tariffs, and then using the SEC and DOJ to investigate and bring charges that they aren’t upholding their responsibilities to their investors.

I understood that, I’m talking about even setting up the proxies on a device so you can access services. It’s my understanding that I2P is similar enough to Tor. A user setting themselves up to access a Tor service is still difficult for the average user, especially if they are time poor.

Define from the US. Are you saying those travelling in from internationally by air or road, that are getting stopped and generally detained by CBP, where ICE reporting apps would be useless because they aren’t making it to the broader community? Or are you saying those who are living and working in the US and pawbably have a US Apple account?

It’s not accessible enough to someone working 60-70hr weeks trying to make enough to survive as an illegal migrant in the US. Maybe if people were actually out there protecting their neighbours and being the ones checking these sorts of apps. But they’re all living paycheck to paycheck too and just aren’t. Trump’s current policies are literal decades in the making.

Are you making the argument that Stock Android is more private and more secure?

Most long supported os has bad intentions behind it as making old models inferior and unusable as in case with ios on iphone 5.

Your evidence is an iPhone that came out 13 years ago last month? Back in those days, the year over year improvements in the hardware were immense, and the software tried to take advantage of it. But people would complain, A Lot, if those features didn’t come to their older device. Do you remember how much folks lost their mind when the iPhone 4 came out and iOS 4 allowed it and the 3GS to have a home screen wallpaper, but not the iPhone 3G? People were pissed and called it “planned obsolescence” that it didn’t get the feature. So, when the iPhone 4 hit iOS 7, they included all the animations. And then people called it planned obsolescence that it stuttered.

It’s an app about ICE, why would it be available to non-US accounts? It was pawbably georestricted by the developer, just like most apps that have a geoblock.

In Australia it’s a blocklist, not an allowlist. I think some VoLTE-capable devices may have been swept up in the blocking that occurred with the ending of 3G services, that you can manually have allowed, but it depends on carrier and device. Most though are fine.

Isn’t that literally something BambuLab improved upon over every other printer though?

Edit: Also, you totally can on a firmware that works LAN-only before the changes, it’s like the last version before them, at least for the A1-series.

I’m not sure about new build plates, but new filaments can absolutely be added within a slicer, including the BL slicer.

I’d also be really interested to see if a project like the X1 custom firmware is extended to more devices.

You just touched on why the OC is wrong. You can use it via LAN only, and there’s no way they can disable that. You can also downgrade the firmware. While some of their actions have been concerning, and people should keep their eye on future developments, there’s no need for alarmism.

One fundamental part of “intelligence” is being able to come up with independent thoughts. Another is to be able to think critically about those thoughts. LLMs cannot do either.

It’s not really about feelings? It’s provably, demonstrably wrong a bunch of the time. It’s pathologically incapable of saying “I don’t know this”. Also you’re nitpicking, they may have conflated LLMs with AI but so is the article and you clearly knew what OC was talking about.

You generalised to all porn games. Now you’re moving the goalposts again. This move by Visa/Mastercard has been affecting all NSFW games. Just like I don’t think it’s objectionable to have sex depicted in a movie, I don’t think it’s objectionable to have sex in a game. Adults can choose what content they consume. Payment processors should be forced to be common carriers.

You’re obviously just trying to twist my words. Porn has to be consensual, otherwise it’s just abuse material. Hence the term CSAM being advocated rather than CP these days.
