My cousin downloaded Linux and died from injecting 3 Marijuana’s at once.

It was Arch btw.

This is a pretty good summary of the problem.

The way they are forcing AI on everyone and into every aspect of their browser especially when a large part of the people who use Firefox hates that shit is going to end Firefox.

The reason you don’t hear it about all those other browsers is because people have always known they don’t give a fuck what the end user wants.

Firefox used to be different. But all good things deteriorate over time. Watching it happen in real time to a browser we all use and used to love is why you see it so much posted especially in places with like minded individuals like Lemmy.

You could always try using hardware vendors with better support and customer service.

If you’re in the USA I would wait until the dickhead in charge is gone or else you might wake up to find he told Taiwan to eat his ass and charge 600% tariffs on all goods coming from them.

I mean its a joke, but how unlikely would it be really?

Could you actually do this? I assumed it would all be some weird proprietary hardware that wouldn’t work in a regular computer setup but I’ve never really read up on it.

Lol pricing computer parts like they do fish in an expensive restaurant.

What a time to be alive.

It’s an extremely volatile asset. I think last “bull run” cycle it lost like 40% of its top.

But it also gained that 40% on the way up too.

Its just a gamble. I like crypto but memecoins and the like have bastardized it into something that, in my opinion, it wasn’t ever supposed to be.

If you’re “mindblown” about this then you shouldn’t be the CEO of any division of one of the most profitable businesses on the planet.

Waymo “presumably” paying for what they destroy isn’t the same as saying yes, they will 100%. Its pure speculation.

And its not a goalpost move, driving puts you and everyone else at risk humans have been tested and insured to drive. This thing is like in BETA version.

Difference is a driver can be held accountable.

The same people that experimented on him psychologically in college are the same people who prop up Palantir.

Not saying I agree with what he did or what you said, but facts are facts.

He was part of some of the same experiments that were a part of MKULTRA.

Probably use some AI bullshit to scan what you’re watching/doing on it and block the sites that way.

I bet UK will. Soon.

Of course you can, but none of them will ever be in a position of power and the only two parties you can vote for both support shit like this, as you said.

I’d assume they’d give companies an exemption if they made private VPN use illegal. Doesn’t China do something similar to this?

Yes but they’ve done this before in countries like US. They went after the T Shirt producers printing the DeCSS on them and recently the whole tornado cash fiasco where they tried to make smart contracts illegal (although this was overturned).

Granted though I think DeCSS contained proprietary code so its a little different but unfortunately I view most governmental control and censorship to be braindead but I still fear they will do it.

They would have exemptions for corporate VPNs and encryption and for members of parliament and all that of course, but I could absolutely see them trying to fuck us all sooner rather than later.

I hope I’m just paranoid.

But if it were illegal as soon as you connected to one single blacklisted IP you’d be fucked, right?

Can your ISP not tell you’re using a VPN?

Would it not be easy for them to block access to VPNs if they outlaw them?

What do you do then?

I guess a better way to phrase the question is if they are outlawed how can I use one without my ISP knowing.

If your ISP can tell you’re using a VPN then yes, making them illegal would prevent me from using them right?
