The only way I can see them weaseling out of this is by keeping the program running the model made in-house and proprietary while releasing the model in a format unusable without the base (proprietary) program. But maybe the GPL forbids such obfuscstion efforts (I don’t know, I haven’t studied it in detail)

UscITA

It does set a potentially dangerous precedent, but with how things are going (American newspapers declining in quality and SCOTUS selectively ignoring precedent and doing whatever), you’re right that it doesn’t mean much.

withholding law Did you mean upholding?

I doubt those people even know they work for Meta. They probably work at an agency which does this for multiple services, not only Facebook and they probably have that job because they can’t get a better one. It isn’t even unheard of for this to be done by kidnapped people in captivity. Sending provoking material doesn’t do anything meaningful other than make those peoples’ day worse, and chances are it’s already pretty close to hell on earth.

Thanks, much appreciated!

fTPM (hardware TPMs should be considered compromised at this point)

Interesting. Could you elaborate on that?

Inkscape.

Some people mentioned Inkscape and I can’t recommend it enough because it’s my goto FOSS PDF editor.

It’s not made for PDFs and it shows, bit regardless it’s absolutely incredible how versatile it is.

You can keep the formatting, it’s vector so no loss of percieved quality, and its Text tool is easy (and fast) to use.

The only problem is each page has to be imported and exported seperstely - you’ll have to use something else to combine them

As far as signing goes, if it can be a classic squiggle it’s perfect - there’s a few pen tools and one has smoothing so you can play with it a bit until the signature looks good.

On mobile, so excuse any typos.

2nd. By doing the survey on craptops or VMs, developers just might try lowering their sysreq’s down a notch. Additionally, as far as proprietary software goes Valve might be the most benevolent of them all so giving them support through the opt-in survey is a huge help as it evens out the playing field with those who play dirty and just take your info regardless.

it’s mostly cosmetic bullshit. They don’t give me a good reason to give them money

Don’t give them ideas please

What wpuld those be if you don’t mind me asking?

Most morale army in the world

There, fixed it for you

It’s not even online only anymore. You can’t do the setup process of Android OR Windows without connecting to the Internet, and I doubt Apple’s products are any better in that regard.

Threats of physical violence are the only tool they have in their toolbox. THE ONLY tool.

And actual gun violence. They’re the sniwflakiest and wimpiest of the all, bringing an AK-47 to a civilised discussion and feeling “threatened”.
