stolen copyrighted content
Reproducing is not stealing. Not in the dictionary sense. Not in the legal sense. Not at all.
I don’t condone selling stuff without the rights, but manipulative language like that has no place in journalism. It’s pure propaganda pushed by parasitic corporations, and it undermines our collective ability to discuss and reason about the issues.
It’s a time-honored tradition among dictionary publishers.
I wonder what scam he has in mind to gain money or power through this, at the expense of everyone else in the country.
Not a Google fan, huh?
Maybe a pool of big corp captive portal / connectivity test servers? For example:
One-way math doesn’t preclude finding a collision.
(And just to be clear, checksum in the context of this conversation is a generic term that includes cryptographic hashes and perceptual hashes.)
Also, since we’re talking about a list of checksums, an attacker wouldn’t even have to find a collision with a specific one to get someone in trouble. This makes an attack far easier. See also: the birthday problem.
Just to clarify: Steam Input is the component you’re describing.
Its trivial to defeat
Maybe, depending on the algorithm used. Some are designed to produce the same output given similar inputs.
It’s also easy to abuse systems like that in order to get someone falsely flagged, by generating a file with the same checksum as known CSAM.
It’s also easy for someone in power (or with the right access) to add checksums of anything they don’t like, such as documents associated with opposing political or religious views.
In other words, still invasive and dangerous.

DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers have official drivers built-in to the linux kernel, including support for the touchpad and motion controls. You probably don’t need something like DS4Windows.
It’s pretty easy if you use a launcher that can manage Wine, DXVK, and the like. Lutris is good for that, and even has its own database of games with ready-made install scripts. I’m told Steam can register non-steam games and handle it, too.
One nice thing about GOG (in addition to being DRM-free) is that you can download games with a web browser. There’s no need to install their store app, ever.
Moreover, there is no way to implement scanning for {something-bad} in our encrypted communications that will not be abused or put people’s safety at risk.
We need lawmakers to understand this.
Edit: And we need to hold those who don’t respect it accountable for their acts of aggression.
Like the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel?
For example: Let’s say your email is jane@lemmy.com.
YSK: These domains are reserved for use in examples:
Why YSK: Using these instead of made-up domain names reduces the chance of confusing readers, eliminates the possibility of phishing attacks, and avoids sending unwanted traffic to made-up domains if they happen to belong to someone.
6 ≠ 16
v ≠ o
I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy’s comment nesting is excellent.
The funny thing about this is that it’s just plain old threading, which has been around since the 1980s or earlier, with the slight variation of showing message contents directly in the thread tree instead of beside it (thanks to today’s high-res displays).
Usenet readers did threading. Email apps could do it if the developers wanted to; the required information is there. I’ll bet there’s forum software that can do it if an admin enables it.
For some reason, most corporations seem to have decided that classic message threading has no place in their interfaces. They resort to piling things into stacks or serializing them into seemingly endless scrolls. It fails to represent the structure of group discussions, and sadly, has been going on for so long that many people might not have ever seen the better alternative outside of reddit.
You don’t have to post the same article in both News and World News on the same server.
I imagine the reasons include convenience (for the ISP) and the possibility of upselling.
There is at least one advantage to customers: address rotation makes it harder for third parties to track you.
The law is pretty clear on how pending boos is supposed to work,
This is the first I’ve heard of pending boos. Did you mean lending books?
They did, but had to stop because they were attracting illithids.
ds4linux exists, but is unnecessary in most common cases.
