Not well versed in bird law, eh?

Yeah, it works, but it’s really quite clunky…

Tl;Dr: Sharing Nude scenes out-of-context are considered a form of involuntary pornography in Denmark (portraying artistic nudity as pornography) and this man was arrested for compiling and sharing nude scenes of Danish actors from Danish films and sharing them while inside Denmark…

This has nothing to do with film studio profits or piracy, this is a man who ran afowl of his home country’s laws about pornography.

And to be fair, a woman appearing nude in a film doesn’t mean that sexualizing the shit out of her publicly isn’t scummy fucked up behavior. I think I understand the law here.

“Linux File Systems”

*List of root directories*

Uh, where are the file systems? EXT4… BTRFS… FAT32…

I’ve been on Linux for 20+ years now and it’s not as effortless as Windows or Mac, but it is definitely easy now.

So many things have improved with Linux desktop it’s crazy.

As long as it’s not writing to disks, you’re probably safe. This is a good method to avoid getting a remote device stuck too.

The issue is that the digital tap-to-pay cards are actually reissued cards with their own unique numbers. They also require significant security measures to protect from cloning attacks.

So banks need a party that they can safely issue a digital card to, knowing that the card data will be stored safely.

Even a FOSS app that covers all the user’s needs is going to have a lot of trouble actually getting a card loaded into it under current standards.

I hate to say it, but crypto wallets are likely the closest thing we’re ever going to get to a FOSS tap-to-pay system. Banks are inherently corporate and capitalist, so it’s not really in their nature to make things open source.

Perhaps if there were an industry standard for issuing digital cards, instead of banks partnering with centralized wallet apps, we could procure our own digital cards to load onto our phones and watches, or integrate into other devices. But that’s a whole other battle that nobody is fighting right now.

File Manager Plus:

It connects to all my SFTP servers effortlessly, and it’s an absolutely stellar file Manager.

JuiceSSH:

Manages all my SSH servers and identities, and has an extremely usable terminal. It’s got extensions too.

Have you ever actually called a non-emergency line?

It’s usually just a phone tree telling you what part of the city’s website to go to. If you’re lucky enough to talk to a real person, the moment you start telling OP’s story, they will tell you to hang up and call 911 if you think there’s an emergency.

The non-emergency line isn’t 911-lite - don’t call it because you don’t know if the situation is an emergency or not…

I doubt it. Streaming sites like Fmovies are used almost entirely by technologically illiterate users. It’s for people who want to pirate, but don’t want to learn anything.

These users are going to remain helpless until the next malware-laden streaming website enters their lives.

They’re not about to install additional software to try to access anything, or at least not software like I2P or BitTorrent, because that would require effort and some amount of technical understanding to accomplish.

This is like wondering why so many people still use Twitter two years into Elon’s hostile takeover. People will resign themselves to defeat if it saves them from having to learn anything new.

Did you actually read the article? The designers of this vision model used a software trick (inspired by the concept of quantum tunneling that has nothing to do with quantum computing) to allow inputs to bypass hidden layers at random, resulting in results that were able to see certain optical illusions in a way that other vision models cannot.

This can be done by just adding some noise to the image. Sometimes it gets recognized as one thing and sometimes like another, just like humans would.

Word soup by someone who knows way less than these researchers.

I respect people for wanting a space to discuss.

The mods here were deleting any comments (correctly) suggesting that vegan diets are unhealthy for housecats, so whatever “discussion” you thought was possible before the admins came around wasn’t happening, because the mods forbid any discussion that includes difficult facts.

Oh, you failed up. Checks out.

35 Bitcoins back when they were $3/coin.

I bought some camera equipment off of some short-lived Bitcoin eBay clone, and decided my credit card was easier.

Did a little bit of buying/selling since for a mild profit, before swearing off all Blockchain tech as useless.

You have never had a job before, huh?

Think of it this way - what if the government said one day: “All child porn made in the before this date is legal, all child porn made after this date is illegal”.

You would end up with a huge corpus of “legal” child porn that pedophiles could use as a release, but you could become draconian about the manufacture of new child porn. This would, theoretically, discourage new child porn from being created, because the risk is too high compared to the legal stuff.

Can you see the problem? That’s right, in this scenario, child porn is legal. That’s fucked up, and we shouldn’t do that, even if it is “simulated”, because fuck that.

There are literally mountains of evidence that suggest that normalizing child abuse in any fashion increases the rate at which children are actually abused, but it never stops there from being a highly upvoted comment suggesting that jacking it to simulated kids is some how a “release valve” for actual pedophilia, which makes absolutely no fucking sense given everything we know about human sexuality.

If this concept were true, hentai fans would likely be some of the most sexually well-adjusted people around, having tons of experience releasing their real-world sexual desires via a virtual medium. Instead, we find that these people objectify the living shit out of women, because they’ve adopted an insanely overidealized caricature of what a woman should look and act like that is completely divorced from reality.

It’s not really children on these pics.

You are certain about this? If so, where are you getting that info, because it’s not in the article?

Generative image models frequently are used for the “infill” capabilities, which is how nudifying apps work.

If he was nudifying pictures of real kids, the nudity may be simulated, but the children are absolutely real, and should be considered victims of child pornography.

I’m not defending child porn with this comment.

This is one of those cases where, even if you’re technically correct, you probably shouldn’t say out loud how you personally would get away with manufacturing child porn, because it puts people in the position of imagining you manufacturing child porn.

I said free as in freedom, not free as in gratis.

But since you want to double down on this bad idea, let me explain why it’s shit:

If your employer expects you to use tools to do your job, they should pay for those tools if they cost something. Passing off operational expenses to the employees that use more expensive tools is hideously anti-worker, and it’s not even funny as a joke.

Employers should pay for the tools used to run their businesses, and you should learn what the “free” in “free open source software” means, because it’s not about money.
