The DMA basically says, “if Siri can work with your personal data, you have to allow the AI assistants from Zuck, Elon and Honest Achmed the same access”.
At the risk of sounding like an LLM: it’s not a privacy thing, it’s a competition thing.
Personally, I’d be mildly interested in all the dark patterns Meta would bring to bear to finally get at Apple users’ most private data. Even though it’d damage my trust in humanity even further, I guess.
Pull a Moldova. Join Ireland and enter the EU that way.
You’re saying one VM was cloned from the other. I could imagine a DHCP client saving leases to disk (they can have pretty long validity periods), and if the box was assigned the .106 address at any point and then cloned, the cloned machine would probably try to take that address, in other words ARP the address to determine if it’s taken, and if so, fall back to some other thing. I would have expected an APIPA address but 172.x.y.z is not out of the question depending on config.
Also, if your bridge has an interface connected to e.g. another ISP-provided router then it would expose any DHCP server running behind that interface to your VMs, creating a race.
Maybe Einstein-Rosen bridge? I’m not an expert though.
I read somewhere that Zuck hates this. Given that, it’s probably better than the alternative: having to hand over your personal information to each website or app that claims to have a need for age verification.
Due to worldwide legislative trends, waiting for it all to pass and not implementing any kind of age verification is not really feasible. Hope is not a strategy, but of course this tech also isn’t a substitute for advocacy.
Pretty sure the (visual) porn I like doesn’t look anything like that horny Duracell bunny’s fever dream we can make out through the description you so graciously provided. Also pretty sure that “perverted men” will look like choir boys next to an actually perverted woman, there’s a few text samples floating around that I think are basically unhinged. But I don’t think there’s anything to judge, the point is that both of these types of media are home to an entire spectrum of wholesome and less wholesome depictions of adult relations.
It’s okay to say they are wholly incomparable, then don’t actually compare them! Or say the opposite, that they are basically the same, and then there’s also no unequality between the genders. It’s just that when you start to pick and choose, and say that one is worse than the other, your position becomes founded on hypocrisy.
This might be the most obvious attempt to paint women as judgmental hypocritics with reading comprehension issues that I’ve seen yet. Please take your ineptly executed false flag gender war psyops strawman arguments elsewhere 🙏
You seem to have settled on an opinion and accompanying emotional response already. If so, why are you still using Python if your prior experience isn’t a good fit for it? Not everything is made for everybody, maybe Python just isn’t for you.
Your complaints mostly revolve around syntax. I’m sure there’s a dynamically typed, sequential language with curly braces — y’know, “standard” — out there for you. You could even convince a Scheme reader to accept something like that instead of brackets everywhere 🤷
So, like a vortigaunt?
Maybe some folks at Valve pondered that same question, the N64 was a lot more recent back then too.
It’s been ten years since the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
This was a plot point in that game, as well as its prequel, Ground Zeroes.
I think installing spyware on someone’s device is two or three steps more drastic a measure than a simple search, which is about the extent of what a court order can authorize police to do right now. It feels conceptually close to tampering with evidence present at a (possible) crime scene. To add to this, spyware is not the same thing as installing a physical listening device in someone’s home. It requires far-reaching permissions on a system, and can influence lots of other software on the same system. You’d have to have an extreme level of confidence that this won’t lead to accidental or intentional planting of incriminating material. And, in my opinion that sort of load-bearing trust is not really something law enforcement has earned in the general case.
Maybe there’s something I’m not getting, but doesn’t the second setup preclude basically anyone from stomping anyone? If stomping others is one’s goal, it’d be through picking a class and then picking on any other class that’s weak to one’s own, no?
I feel like as an argument, this isn’t really saying a lot. There’s an idea that markets, including the information economy that a stock market hinges on, are efficient, and thus, inaccurate pricing pretty much cannot exist. But if you remember that this is just a convenient oversimplification, you realize that stock markets haven’t ever once reflected reality from, like, the day they were invented.
The article is also a bit lazy in arguing that an AWS outage should be bad news for AWS. To the contrary, this outage serves as a powerful reminder how commonly used, depended on, and entrenched AWS has become — traditionally, outages tend to raise stock prices of companies suffering technical failures. It’s more curious that in this case, no significant change either way seems to have happened.
Where in Settings would this be? Cellular?
I like this. The very best horse archer is probably a centaur, but they’d be exceedingly rare. You can match good archers with good horses at scale, which probably makes up for the coordination disadvantage in any situation outside of single combat between champions of nation states.
Or, uh, that’s what I heard.
There’s a lot of smaller and bigger possible problems with that, but I think there’s only one way to find out if those can become actual problems.
Try it, and report back.
If you only ever use this mail domain to send messages to or receive messages from people who don’t know your name and address, why not. Any old infoleak would otherwise indelibly associate that domain with that personal info.
Eh, did War of the Lions not happen? Doesn’t that imply some missing content in this remaster?
This is probably the best outcome for everyone, including Apple.
So they have Siri AI which you can give extensive access to your private information, presumably so it can help you better. It is reasonable to assume you trust Apple to some extent already, since you use their product. And if not, you can just disallow access using their privacy infrastructure which you probably trust because otherwise you wouldn’t entrust the device with anything valuable in the first place.
But now the EU comes along and says, if you can have this privileged position, you need to give it to Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk too so we can have some fair competition. Meanwhile Apple thinks, “I made this feature to sell more devices, I actually don’t care much if the user really uses it so no skin off my back if it’s disabled, and I can make sure that my prompts don’t employ any dark patterns because that undermines my whole PRiVaCY angle to why iPhone is superior, however I cannot really ensure that Meta and Grok won’t lie to and threaten the user until they give up and give them their private data which is all these companies are really interested in.”
So now Apple can point to the DMA and say “we do this because privacy is the most important thing everrr”, the EU can point to this and say “we do this because fair competition is what we’re about”, and EU citizens don’t get their arms twisted into exposing everything about themselves. And even if you’re immune, your social graph by and large isn’t.
Getting some freedoms means that someone will try to exploit your ability to exercise them. If you can plausibly show that you have no control, you win the game of Chicken, like a driver who throws out their steering wheel, visibly, before accelerating towards their opponent.
