There is no practical difference between the two.

Taking a pornographic movie and putting someone's face in place of one of the actor's does not violate their privacy in any way, since nothing private was shared that wasn't private before (their face).

"Nonconsensual AI porn" is a weasel term because it implies that it should be necessary to get someone's consent to create fake porn using their faces.

I agree with you in principle but there's no difference between that and what's allowed in other American platforms. Degenerate content is everywhere in all platforms.

For tiktok to be special in this regard they would have to allow something different that went way beyond what American platforms allow, and that's thus far not happening.

Tiktok has been scrutinised so much that if they were showing "brainwashing content" to Western children we would've heard about it already.

That is something for them to decide, not the state.

Win for regulators, Win for users

That's assuming that citizens want censorship. Most of the time citizens do not have the same goals as the state's censors.

Abundance of Africans is what it is going to mean for Europe.

I work with PHP and I think WAFs are potentially useful (and potentially problematic).

Capitalising the first letter of each package name makes it look jarring.

It's the EU, of course they have to get involved. How else are they going to justify the salaries of those unelected officials?

I completely agree. My point is that, even though buying a diamond is stupid, buying a cheap knock-off is even stupider. The only point of a diamond is to show wealth, since it's a rock - a knock-off can't even show wealth, so why buy it?

If you want to buy something useful instead, that's much better.

Imagine wanting to marry someone and buying a ring with a rock that pretends to be a diamond but is worth <10% of what a diamond costs.

That's the way countries should behave generally.

Well, that's precisely how classes work, no? There are guys who spend all day in a bar drinking. That's very lower class, and I wouldn't do it. But they themselves are lower class, so that behaviour comes naturally to them.

Pickpocketing is quick and easy, sometimes not even a crime, and even though phones are locked, you can sell the Android phone for pieces. That's not the case for the iphone.

The answer depends on the country or even the city you live in or visit. In some places walking around with a $1000 phone is extremely dangerous to your life.

Of course they don't use the same quality screens, because then the replacement would cost as much as it does in an apple store.

I understand that KDE is a clusterfuck, but giving the money to the American desktop environment instead of the European one is not really a good look.

Why should a rich person be able to experience luxury more often than a poor person?

Why would you work harder to get rich if you don't get anything for it?

If you absolutely must have sideloading why don't you buy an Android phone?

That is false.

Fewer laws.

Without the /s, yes, that's what will happen.

No, using DrawFrameControl et al does not make a widget native.

Claws is GTK+, so it's not native.

They have been doing this for years. The mobile outlook app has had microsoft servers check for mail on the user's behalf since forever.

It is not stealing anything because you get a dialog asking you for permission to do it. If you give someone permission to take something, they are not stealing it.

Those Google workers who were happy when the company meddled in politics and they agreed with the politics should not get upset now that they do not agree with the politics.

I live in Europe and public transportation is full of scum, I don't even want to imagine how it is in new york city.
