jesus fucking christ what the fuck

Europe's got a new contradiction in law: If big tech doesn't scan for illegal content on their social media platforms they'll get charged with violating the Digital Services Act which mandates scanning. However if they do scan for illegal content they'll be charged with violating EU's 2021 privacy law: The EU Privacy Act.

The question comes up again and again. When prosecutors have no problem prosecuting those they dislike rather than those doing wrong why would anyone bother complying given the costs, burdens, and lost business of doing so?

When your best effort at complying still results in criminal violation due to contradictions in the law it stops making sense to comply.

"The regulatory gap has created uncertainty for big tech companies, because while scanning for harms on their platforms is now illegal, they still remain liable to remove any illegal content hosted on their platforms under a different law, the Digital Services Act. Google, Meta, Snap and Microsoft said they would continue to voluntarily scan their platforms for CSAM, in a joint statement posted on a Google blog. "

This should also be a huge red flag for the rest of society of the dangers of using big tech and mainstream social media platforms. Once you scan for one thing- it's ultimately used for other 'bad' things. This is already true. First it was child porn, but now it's a laundry list of things that are far more questionable.

@SuperDicq Great idea! Buy my game.

Really cool talk by Casey Muratori on the origins of OOP and Entity Component Systems. It's funny how he basically gets introduced to the stage like a fucking celebrity

"NSA Warning—Reboot Your Internet Router Now"

I thought I'd seen it all. Is this intentional misinformation, idiocy, or more trade war BS?

While I'll give you that in certain instances a reboot may half-resolve the issue where the malware hasn't infected the flash chip itself this certainly won't fix the vulnerability that enabled the infection to happen in the first place. Usually a reboot "solves" the problem where a device has run out of memory and isn't behaving as it should, and similar sorts of issues that have nothing to do with malware. It definitely won't stop or help with swarms of routers running malware and being co-opted into use for botnet related activities.

If this is the advice our government is giving to end users the NSA needs to be disbanded.

The US government has effectively outlawed real solutions by forcing manufacturing to the US. The problem with malicious software on routers has nothing to do with where the devices are manufactured and everything to do with outdated firmware and manufacturers who refuse to fix the bugs in their products. Even if we're going to wrongly assume this is an issue of backdoors the solution isn't brining manufacturing "home". It's random sampling / vetting of the firmware on the routers post-manufacture that US companies are importing haven't been tampered with from the state their firmware was suppose to be. That's literally a matter of hooking up a chip clip to the flash chip and grabbing the firmware from it. Then checking it against a signature and public key of the manufacturer. Of course I'm not sure if any companies are even signing their firmwares. I can only speak to that of which my company does for its routers (ThinkPenguin, Inc). We have signed firmware.

@BuckyandtheKid "Fuel shortages will lead to defacto climate lockdowns too. Funny how he's playing into the globalist agenda despite you thinking he's somehow stopping globalism."

President Trump has gotten Rid of the Green New Deal Regulations Bull Schiff. He's done even more than this.

"On January 20, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14154, "Unleashing American Energy," which halted all spending on initiatives labeled as part of the "Green New Deal"

The most significant regulatory action occurred on February 13, 2026, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under Administrator Lee Zeldin, finalized the rescission of the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding—a legal foundation used by prior administrations to regulate emissions. This repeal, described by the administration as the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history, also eliminated federal greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles from model years 2012 to 2027 and beyond, removed off-cycle credits like the "start-stop" feature, and aimed to save taxpayers over $1.3 trillion."
