At this point I’m convinced Hungary could outright launch a military assault on one of its neighbors and the EU as a whole would just say “no” and wag their fingers at the problem.
I’m sure the various heads of state would also take the situations into consideration as they are deeply concerned
Is it just me or does every government all over the world just drag its feet when it comes to opposing blatant fascism and bad-faith actors?
Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.
Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.
And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.
Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.
Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.
You know, as much as I hate it… “you know it when you see I but hard to definet” really is accurate.
There’s plenty of things that aren’t outright illegal that are completely inappropriate around children.
And if there are things that are context specific, it gets a lot harder to make a computer recognize a problem.
Audio cues are easy to scan for and computers are pretty good at recognizing sounds, especially in regards to copyright detection (even if their interpretation of “fair use” clause is still fucked 6 ways)
Video is a lot harder unless the computer is trying to match direct images (it’s a lot easier to recognize a still frame from The Avengers when it’s uploaded full size than it is to recognize a slightly warped, smaller cropped version with someone in front of it commenting on the video)
It took me a week, but I scrambled every comment and post with lorem ipsum and bee movie scripts, deleted the comments, then after verifying I could no longer find any of my original content on any search engine outside archive sites, I deleted the account.
It took so long because r*ddit started limiting API access when they realized people were automating their profile scrubbing.
As I’ve said before about certain countries, if you’re doing everything you can to prevent people from leaving [THING/PLACE] then you might just be shit.
I’ve been getting little bubbles for store/restaurant logos popping up on the map for about a month as I drive, and I assumed that’s what it was. So every time I see one, I make a point to not eat/go there for awhile just out of spite.
