Its more that the smartest crooks are busy running our society and a justice system that actually tries to enact justice would get in the way of that.

Shout out to the neoliberal dipshits who thought we needed another right-of-center incrementalist to beat Trump.

That one really fucking worked out...

Unix Surrealist Tech Mage Webcomics are not supposed to be a documentary lol.

I think that's hardly an immediate worry, though. Various services already scan for illegal content or suspicious activity. It wouldn't take much to get ISPs to snitch on their customers.

Stop using proprietary platforms and services, start bouncing your traffic off of foreign VPNs.

The internet was literally built to tear down borders, not help enforce them. Technologists will find a way around the red tape set up by bitter old men in suits.

"It votes for the geezer or it gets the fascist again."

Edit: Iam eh gud spellor

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.

Vince deserved that. Apex should have stayed a meme.

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.

I'm partial to the wrist-mounted trebuchet.

The point is by building cars more like scooters you'd get more car drivers into vehicles which aren't causing issues in the same way cars do now.

A lot of people don't like getting rained on, others may be disabled and need a traditional car seat. There are a number of valid reasons I can think of for something like that. Which is probably why they're so popular in the developing world.

That just sounds like an advertisement for the armed gay agenda...
