With the context of piracy in mind sites located beyond your own country’s authority are a better choice as they are less likely to cooperate.

Of course unless you take measures your isp will know you 've been accessing that site. Additionally even though the domain is normally under Russian control your country’s authority can actually order your ISP to have it’s DNS direct you elsewhere.

You just can’t fathom that most people just want to use the OS their PC came with.

No they don’t they want to get a task done. The vast majority of users doesn’t know what an OS or a browser is never mind that there are alternatives.

These people don’t want to struggle with the incompatibilities that come with Linux systems.

Most people are simply not aware of Linux systems let alone linux system incompatibilities.

Troubleshooting Linux systems is a daunting task for most casual users.

No shit, troubleshooting windows is a daunting task for most casual users. They either nag/pay someone to try and fix it or simply cope with it. And windows fucks up all the time, especially for most users.

It’s great that you use Linux because fuck greedy corporations. But stop being so uppity about it. This toxic behavior is what steers people away from Linux forums.

People don’t just randomly get on Linux forums, especially linux memes forums. Nor is my previous comment in any way or form toxic. I just pointed out the blind spot of windows fans, you just can’t handle criticism.

I don’t hate GrapheneOS but if your issue with the Android ecosystem is largely due to Google’s decisions in the software side, promoting Google’s hardware because currently they allow you to use alternative software is compromising your future options.

Windows always gets a pass from it’s fans. They also tend to overestimate average users’ proficiency with computers (meaning windows) way more than linux users.

Most windows users would be afraid to change stuff on CP or Settings never mind opening up policy editor or registry editor.

They regularly fail to install applications on windows (a big part of them would probably not even try) or install something different than intended.

Usually they end up running million unnecessary things on startup, having completely unresponsive systems. They just shrug and cope with it till they pay someone to format their computer or they buy a new one.

Other OSes can update everything while running and you just reboot to the updated system. Microsoft could definitely fix their update process they are not incompetent, they just don’t care.

That’s completely inaccurate. They are rioting so that immigrants from mainland France will not be allowed to vote.

It’s χιόνι which means snow in Greece and we are not very cold.

They actually are not whether you use a prompt to generate the picture or a digitally paint it with a tablet.

The user would be the one committing copyright infringement.

If it’s contributing creatively to your work, yeah, totally.

AI is not contributing creatively though, programs do not create.

If you ask Photoshop fill to add an italian plumber and you’ve been living under a rock for you life so you don’t realize it’s Mario, when you get sued by Nintendo for copyright infringement it’d be much better policy if it was Adobe on the hook for adding copyrighted material and not the end user.

I am speaking of Photoshop used as a non-AI tool as it has been used to commit copyright infringement for decades before Photoshop fill was a thing. Should it check if your image infringes on copyright?

A better analogy is: if you hired a graphic designer and they gave you copyrighted material, who is liable?

The graphic designer. If you went ahead and redistributed it you would also be liable. Whatever program he used or it’s developer wouldn’t be liable.

Should Photoshop check your image for copyright infringement? Should Adobe be liable for copyright infringing or offensive images users of it’s program create?

If you ignore the fact that the generated images are not accurate, maybe.

They are very similar so they are infringing but nobody would use this method for compression over an image codec

And they like to mess with American megacorps too.

Messing with megacrops is a feature, especially foreign ones.

Nope he is just a rich spoiled manchild on cocaine.

I don’t understand. If I go to their site at https://mullvad.net the obvious choice to download their software is to click at ‘Downloads’ at the top of the page. It already autodetected I am running Linux and has me on the Linux tab.

Sure there are two download options but the first one says it works on Ubuntu and the second says it works on Fedora. You get a file you can just double click and install. Windows installation works the same way. You download a file and double click it.

You don’t have to use the terminal you don’t really have to know more about sudo than you need about Windows UAC, you don’t have to know what a package or .deb is anymore than what a win32 executable or an Windows’ .msi file is.

People giving you more complicated answers either did not check the website (because they presumed you did) or if they did they think you want more features such as auto-updating which in Windows also requires a more complex install than downloading a file and opening it.

You should never have been on lemmy according to your stated goals of a ‘safe’ closed community. Your actions during the reddit exodus while you were still a big part of the lemmyverse (especially regarding communities) certainly did not do the rest of lemmy any good. Not that I think you care.

It’s better for lemmy if you leave, it’s better for your goals to leave so just do it.

Obama did veto an ITC ban on Apple before but Masimo is an American company unlike Samsung.

Sovereignty over territory Apple chose to conduct business in.

Sovereignty

And I want a law making you pay me 500$ for reading your posts.

Copyright law already extends beyond what society finds reasonable. It’s routinely broken by normal people without them even thinking about it. It’s even broken by those vested in it both corporations and individual artists.

Finally you are not getting the copyright law you want ( nor should you, you a minority, a special interest ), big corps are. They might be ‘content’ corps or tech or both but they certainly won’t make a law to benefit either society as a whole or you as a small artist.

‘Bet’ all you want, you are still wrong.

Sorting vast amounts of data is already an issue for intel agencies that theoretically llms could solve. However decrypting is magnitudes harder and more expensive. You can’t use llms to decide which data to keep for decrypting since… you don’t have language data for the llms to process. You will have to use tools working on metadata (sender and receiver, method used etc).

There’s also no reason for intelligence services to train AI on your decrypted messages, it won’t help them decrypt other messages faster, in fact it will take away resources from decryption.
