  • The only way to generate CSAM is by abusing children and taking pictures/videos of it.

    Society has decided otherwise, as I wrote, you can’t have your own facts or definitions. You might as well claim that in traffic red means go, because you have your own interpretation of how traffic lights should work.
    Red is legally decided to mean stop, so that’s how it is, that’s how our society works by definition.





  • Responsible to who?
    Of course they will sell if there’s a profit to be made. Companies exist to make profits, if they can make a profit from it, it’s actually their responsibility to the shareholders to do it.

    Maybe you mean responsible in some way that has to do with morals, but if you think morals apart from staying within the law, have any say in this whatsoever, you are being very naive. That’s not at all how the system works.

    That said I don’t see any other way than corruption for Musk to be interested. Musk buys Intel, and Trump doubles the subsidies to Intel and give them extra sweet government contracts. And everybody profit, except the stupid taxpayers including those that voted Trump.

    Only the law helps super capitalist narcissists to stay at least somewhat within moral norms.
    And in USA the law doesn’t even count anymore. So there you go, everything is fucked up, until Americans figure it out. Which means it will be fucked up for a loooong time.








  • Americans are indoctrinated with values of individual freedom to a degree where Malignant narcissism has become a virtue, and it shows throughout all aspects of society.
    Everything that benefit common good is demonized. Like food stamps, social welfare, healthcare for all, protection of minorities, lack of union rights, insane gun rights, and abolishing free abortion, and even sex education.
    It’s in everything American in society, and USA is so far removed from other developed countries it’s more like a very poor developing country in many aspects.
    It’s all about oppressing the non privileged, to give more privileges to the already privileged.

    Now people are even getting away with claiming slavery wasn’t so bad!!




  • Blame Garland

    And Biden, and democrats in congress for not pushing to fucking get it done for 2 years.
    And Pelosi for preventing any action and protecting Trump while he was president, and she was majority leader.
    And Mueller for making a mockery of the special investigation, dragging it out for years, and then having done just about the narrowest investigation possible, and letting traitors walk despite clear evidence.

    It’s fucking incompetence all the way through, to a degree it must be perceived as maliciousness, and that both parties are in on it.

    Goddam I’m happy to live in a country that doesn’t effectively have a 2 party system. I cannot fathom how Americans tolerate their idiotic flawed democracy for almost 250 years now! Isn’t it about time to modernize? And yet American politicians boast of their democracy and claim to protect democracy around the world, when they fucking can’t even figure it out for their own country!




  • We just had a case here (Denmark) where 2 companies were putting a “No PFOA” labels on their frying pans. But they’ve been told by authorities that that’s illegal, because it’s misleading advertising since PFOA is illegal in EU.
    Thy got off with a warning, but in case of repeat offenses they will be fined.

    But USA is much different, and many “confuse the consumer” strategies do not seem to be generally illegal “over there”.


  • Yes that’s annoying too, I have no clue why it does that, but when the sync says “clear”, I always wait a couple seconds, and run sync again a couple of times, to see if it’s actually finished. And only THEN unmount the stick.
    Copy to USB does not seem very solid on Linux IMO. So I also ALWAYS buy sticks with activity LED.
    But even that can fool you, sometimes when I think a smaller copy is finished, because the LED stops blinking, it suddenly starts up again, after having paused for about 1½ second?!?!
