When home consoles used PCB cartridges, they were. That’s because PCBs are expensive to make compared to optical discs.

Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

You understand that most of them would end up in Hamas’s hands right?

No.

The problem is the cat’s out of the bag.

Open source image generators already exist and have been widely disseminated worldwide.

So all you’d end up doing is putting up a roadblock for legitimate uses. Anybody using it to cause harm will not be seriously impeded. They can just pick up the software from a Russian/Chinese/EU host or less official distribution methods.

It would be as effective as the US trying to outlaw the exporting of strong encryption standards in the 90s. That is to say, completely ineffective and actually harmful. Enemies of the US were still using strong encryption anyway.

Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files?

Problem with the former is that would outlaw any self hosted image generator. Any image generator is capable of use for deep fake porn

It’s not specific to e-girls. Can be twitch streamers, bloggers, etc

Have you tried a Linux distro?

I know it’s a meme at this point but one thing Linux is really good at is support for older hardware. That’ll allow you to get updates and put it on a network too.

There is audiophile. It refers to someone who is obsessed about audio quality.

There is no confirmation that this came from Nintendo, nor does it list the actual infringing parts like a normal takedown request should.

EAC doesn’t open up ports into your network as far as I’m aware.

No but the game code does. And that game code also interacts with EAC. You can argue it’s a bug in Apex Legends, and it would be that too, but the fact is that EAC shouldn’t be executing arbitrary commands based on what the game code has given it, so if that possibility exists in EAC, it is still an RCE in Apex Legends and a kernel privilege escalation flaw in EAC.

PC games. Too much of a worry about malware for that nonsense.

There will always be garbage, pants-on-heads stupidity on these platforms. I doubt the women saying this even believe what they are saying, it’s all to drive engagement via outrage

The point isn’t for other fedi users. It’s to deter Threads users from becoming proper fedi users. It used to be those popups only appeared when something genuinely touchy came up. Now they’re used for anything the parent company doesn’t like as a scare tactic but people don’t realise it. Google does this too with Play Protect.

Stage 1 of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

The government is already the one who makes that decision. The only thing new here is a line being drawn with regards to social media’s push towards addiction and echo-chamberism.

Yeah. Even online doesn’t do it for me, just feels like I’m playing against advanced bots.

But having the controllers out, snacks in the middle and a good selection of games just brings me back to the days where you’d lug an N64 over and play Goldeneye and MK64.

Some of my favourite gaming moments have involved getting the friends together to have a few rounds of Mario Kart or other games
