Reply to comment by Levainathan in NYPD is refusing to comply with NYC’s new surveillance tech laws by homothebrave
I swear to God every time I go into a thread to make a pun someone’s already done it. I’m starting to get angry. Do I need to become a father to make dad jokes faster or something?

Reply to comment by youretheweird1 in Midjourney ends free trials of its AI image generator due to 'extraordinary' abuse by hugglenugget
I did use it for projects as well. This month I made a game prototype for itch and used Midjourney for some of the art. I also made some other minor projects with it for fun. Other than that yeah, just wallpapers, stuff for d&d campaigns and memes. It's totally worth it for the average Joe considered that 1 year ago I was looking for the same jobs to be done and it would have costed me hundreds of dollars to hire a good artist online. Now I can do it on my own, maybe it's not as good but it's better than nothing. The issue is, the artist gets screwed in this equation )= and next month I could be next, we're all replaceable now.

I think 5 million files is a fair limit.

It is an example of how laws may not require active collection of personal data.
Mnemon-TORreport t1_jeg5d2p wrote
TL;DR version is the law required the NYPD to "disclose information about its current and future surveillance technologies and how it wants to use them."
The NYPD responded by filing reports that were "general and not detailed, leaving the [Office of the Inspector General for the NYPD] unable to conduct an audit and assess whether NYPD’s use of surveillance devices complies with its IUPs and report any suspected violations."

COPPA is American law though, not European regulation.

Remember the law only implies to the poor, those with enough wealth or power tell you how to live, you don't tell them.

Reply to Google Drive does a surprise rollout of file limits, locking out some users by OutlandishnessOk2452
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)
> The original message said: "The limit for the number of items, whether trashed or not, created by this account has been exceeded." And sometime in March, it was updated to say, "Error 403: This account has exceeded the creation limit of 5 million items. To create more items, move items to the trash and delete them forever." Since there is nothing anywhere that informs users Google Drive has a file limit, users originally thought this was a bug and asked Google to quickly fix it.
> Some users say they have gotten Google Support to privately confirm the limit is intended, and a pop-up message is starting to show up in the Drive UI for some users.
> Google is selling this storage to users, via both the Google Workspace business accounts and the consumer-grade Google One storage plans.

Reply to comment by VelveteenAmbush in Senator Warner’s RESTRICT Act Is Designed To Create The Great Firewall Of America by vriska1
The West is supposed to be championing ideas of freedom and liberty. So yes, we should be allowing that because we have decided as a society that it is up to the people to decide what they want to think and not what the government dictates them to think. Or do you want to be like authoritarian China where we put up a Great Firewall to block anything that government deems a "threat"?

I saw a fairly upvoted comment on /r/worldnews about wanting to basically balkanize the internet into "west vs east" and cutting off complete access to Russia and China. It's amazing how people are so ready to punish millions of innocent people and adopt very authoritarian measures just because they hate Russia and China.
It really makes me think of when Reagan made a speech saying "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall". But nowadays, it's the West that wants to put up walls. So much for the ideas of freedom and liberty.

Reply to comment by dangerbird2 in Virgin Orbit fails to secure funding, will cease operations and lay off nearly entire workforce by getBusyChild
Agreed. Turning a profit from air-launched rockets is impossible with launch prices having fallen so dramatically with the arrival of Falcon 9, in particular.
There might yet be a market for soft-ride orbital spaceplanes that launch like this, or even from a runway. As opposed to "mere" hypersonic airliners.
But I wouldn't bet any of my own money on seeing these emerge by even 2050.

Obviously you have Fascist tendencies. You want to restrict freedom in some weird (and not true) attempt of safety.
But, the only social media that has actually been successful in supporting the overthrow of the United States was Facebook. The only social media that used personal data to manipulate an election was Facebook.
It’s absolutely absurd
