You should see what searching was like on AltaVista. You’d have to scroll past dozens of posts of random numbers and letters to find anything legible. Click through and your computer would emit a cacophony of bell sounds and pour out screens of random nonsense and then freeze permanently. You had to rely on links and web-rings to navigate with any degree of success.
And that in itself was a massive improvement on what was available before.
They haven’t been banned yet.
The law doesn’t come into effect until the end of next year after the govt determines how the ban will be enforced.
You talk as if this is some sort of special trick.
You’re able to work around those things precisely because they have been designed to be turned off.
Running a business system with the TPM turned off is madness, whcih will pretty much guarantee a ransomware attack,.
None of the changes including TPM requirements required a new iteration.
This is completely wrong.
The TPM is a hardware feature, so you need to update the whole system. The software patch is too slow to be useful.
The uptake level is expected given falling PC sales and the fact that upgrading is limited.
4 cylinder and foreign (Austin B series),. definitely woke.
Olives, canola and soy beans are all the same thing - they are all fruits not seeds.
The 400 if you acidentally stepped on it it’d flip back and bark your shin, you’d fall over and put your foot through it. that’s why there’s so few today.
Its BASIC with big boy pants on.
HERETIC ! CAST THIS FOUL USUPER FROM THE TEMPLE !
C-ing is believing.
C ++ is double plus good.
C has always been at war with Rust.
Hey fuck this shit
Elon’s maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.
This sentence is a mess.
The Nazi part wasn’t formed until the 1920s.
South Africa was run by the British in the early 20th century. The Afrikaners were at this point, completely disenfranchised after the Boer War.
It wasn’t until the 1940s under the National party (yes, there were named after the German National party !). that the Afrikaners and English began to share power.
BTW, the apartheid system was designed with the help of an Indian lawyer you may have heard of - Mahatma Ghandi.
I’m guessing that, like GDPR in the EU, it will apply to any and all social media website on the internet, but for practical reasons, can’t really be enforced outside of the legislating authorities’ jurisdiction.
The legislation specifically gives the Act extra-territorial powers to enforce the ban against foreign websites.
Reddit is specifically targetted ; it will definitely include Lemmy.
Now, if a parent helps their child do it anyway, the parent and child can’t get in trouble, but the platform can, because platforms cannot knowingly allow children to use the app, even with explicit parental consent and supervisio
Not correct. An inadverdent act is not illegal, but circumventing telecommunication controls is a criminal offence under the Telecommunications Act, with penalties up to 20 years imprisonment.
Uploading ID to site.
face scanning and continual monitoring, so if a person comes into view they must face scan. Under the law, its prohibited for children to watch prohibited sites even with their parents.
4chan is not excluded.
The Communication minister can extend the requirement to any internet site at any time without parliamentary approval.
Read it again.
What it actually says is that SM sites can collect personal ID, but must provide an alternative.
Identification would need to be handled by a 3rd party to even remotely work. Then they pass on the “yes they’re over 16” tick to the social media platform, with no actual identity details.
The legislatiion specifically allows SM sites to handle ID.
I don’t see many options between asking for a birthdate and asking for ID for this problem. I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.
The senate inquiry outlined the two likely solutions :
Uploading ID to the website.
3D face scanning. This will include continual monitoring so if another person comes into view they will have to face scan in. Remember, its prohibited for chidren to even watch prohibited content with their parents.
The law does not require users to upload government IDs as part of the verification process.
No, it merely requires the sites to provide an alternative, such as face scanning using a mobile phone unlock. Using a computer ? Then you’ll have hand over your ID.
The law also explicitly gives sites the right to onsell private information if its outlined in the terms of agrrement.
So a bunch of failed lawyers.
