Well, of course politicians will try and hide what the law is about, so I find it necessary to clearly communicate what this legislation is about.

CSAM hides behind an acronym and seems benign at first, but taking away the citizens right to private chats is anything but that.

Indeed, reusing "Chat Control" and giving it a new meaning is a surefire way to cause confusion.

And the underhanded way of trying to get something as controversial as this to pass, says a lot about the politicians pushing this agenda.

Chat Control is about allowing mass surveillance and removing privacy, no should be the obvious answer here.

Claude Opus 4.8 suggests "ReGRAM", which is less bad than GRAM.

In that sense AI is a tool much like a dictionary, it enhances and I'd say improve the end result.

Given the current state of the Chrome family of browsers and the anti adblocker stance from Google, i'd think that alone would guarantee Firefox a steady user base.

Not sure how users cope with Chrome-based browsers and intrusive ads.

Not to mention a Facebook simulator :)

Also missing (I think) are anecdotes about previous experiences involving famous people or just memorable moments in history.

Also comments where the poster shares details from their own life instead of just commenting on the topic.

But I can't really describe this "human Factor" any better than through examples.

Really spooky, all comments are LLM based and something certainly feels off, but can't quite put my finger on what it is.

I think it has to do with comments that doesnt really comment on the previous comment.

Certainly one of the more interesting uses of LLMs in a while.

Well said, ideally action comes first and then these actions can be communicated.

But in the real world, you have words ie. commitment before actions and a conclusion.

Best of luck to them.

Not sure why there are no specifics, but for anyone interested this seems to the merger that was denied, along with the reasons why it was denied.

Brave indeed does block WebBluetooth by default, but it can be turned on by the user using flags.

It's by no means a new feature, but the privacy concerns outlined in this post are still valid 10 years later: https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/w3c-web-bluetooth-api-privacy...

It should be put into law, that when you buy something, you have the right to do with it what you want for personal use.

In the present case, Amazon clearly states that the customer is buying a book, so it should work the same way as buying a physical book.

One solution would be to buy a DRM free digital version.

Take your pick, could be either one of: Coca Cola, PepsiCo, Red Bull, Ferrero, Kellogg, Kraft Heinz just to name a few.

That aside, I think the law is a great step in the right direction for the US.

Hopefully it can be expanded across the US.

I understand the metaphor, but there is a huge difference between a D&D player and an entity such as a government.

For starters the government is not in the habit of releasing these new powers, once it's established it will stay for a very, very long time.

And you can be sure the new powers will be used in unintended ways, which the citizens will have a hard time blocking.

So it's actually very simple: No to Chatcontrol, now and forever.

The incentive for a corporation leans heavily into making deals worth billions of dollars, which is also happening here.

A change of status quo in this case, will require massive loss of Disney+ subscriptions, which is not that probable.

Also, there is quite a bit of money on the line, you can't really blame ABC for acting as a corporation:

> If I'm awaken at 2am from being on-call for more than once per quarter, then something is seriously wrong and I will either fix it or quit.

Sometimes fixing the problem will require special access to Production which you don't have, or even a specific role with that extra bit of initiative.

Otherwise i agree 100%.
