Yeh, but once they have all the big companies complying then they can go after the little guys.
And if, at any point, a little guy becomes problematic then they can fuck them over with compliance violations.
So yes. Just use services that don't require ages verification.
But once they become large enough or problematic enough, they will get the book thrown at them
I'd be interested in seeing end-to-end details of the entire funding pipeline.
But it's pretty obvious. America and Russia.

(Older, but it's stupid to think anything has changed. Maybe reduced cause of Russia's fucked economy).

No doubt none of these specific links have concrete evidence. I'm sure I searched for what I wanted, and found what I want. No doubt influenced by the echo chamber in which I live.
Like I said, I'd love to see the evidence.
But I have no doubts that America and Russia are interfering with European politics.
It seems stupid to think otherwise, considering how vocal Musk has been about the subject.
35k is a lot.
Peak Iraq was 170k.
So, the US is at 25% of the deployment in Iraq .
Approximately 150,000 US soldiers were deployed in 2003. This number increased to its peak in 2007 of over 170,000 soldiers, three years after Bush claimed ‘Mission Accomplished’ in Iraq on 1 May 2003.
A prediction engine struggles at coming up with novel ideas? Astounding!
If you are of the opinion "coding is easy with AI", it's because you haven't tried to do something novel with it.
It's been solved, the AI has been trained on it, and the next most likely word based on prompt & context is correct because someone else has already figured it out. Repeat until the AI has generated a function that works
Your threat assessment is way off.
So, you import a phone. What sim do you use? Where do you use it? When do you use it? Who do you contact with it?
All of that is more valuable and easier to get for the police than some sort of modification of firmware or platform as it passes through customs.
If in doubt, flash your own firmware.
If this is actually a threat assessment to you, asking on Lemmy is the wrong place. You need people with the same experience that an entire country has at their disposal.
If it's a concern as opposed to an actual threat, buy some 2nd hand phones from random places and buy some prepaid sims (ideally via smurfs or black market means). And be aware of how you use them
Oh, you mean a decent real human? Yeh, that makes sense they would target him
Predicting an impact 2500 days in the future - taking into account n-body physics while also trying to measure the objects current position and velocity as accurately as possible - is an impressive feat of science & technology.
I imagine this is going to change year on year until we have to train drillers to be astronauts.
Narrator: They hadn't.
The simplest explanation is a new kind of star, or a new kind of star cycle.
We have seen interesting radio signals before, they have all been explained by some sort of star behaviour.
The simplest explanation is NOT the evolution of an entire other species that survives all the way through to advanced tech to send radio signals.
I think Google de-prioritising Reddit search results is huge.
It was my go-to secret. Try and find a specific solution/recommendation/review, I'd see what comes up normally then add "Reddit" and check out some threads.
Normally, the Reddit threads would have the gem I needed for my problem/question.
Now, I'm faced with private communities or deleted posts. And - although it makes my googling harder - I'm all for it. I find myself adding "-reddit" now so I don't get juked by search result caches.
I gave knowledge to that site. I gave my experiences within niche communities. I'd reply when someone asks a question on my post/comment a few years later.
That's over for me.
There is a long term lasting damage that they have done to themselves.
Oh man.
To be able to have a long running project and decide to truncate years worth of data...
Just, drop it like you never need it again.
Apart from working at Reddit, sounds like a dream
In the first paragraph:
So, consumer suppliers for ram are sourcing Chinese made memory chips, instead of those made in Taiwan (because all the reputable manufacturers of the ram chips have their total manufacturing bought up by AI)
