So depicting violence is fine because people don't do those violent things. Except people will do violent things (like Jan 6) but when that happens it's because they they saw a lap dance being depicted?
I doubt someone without depth perception would crash either. They'd notice the straps on the side, and things not being the exact colour shade. Might think it was a big piece of glass set up on the road, but that wouldn't be something you'd just plow through.
You're trying to pressure the President to freeze the accounts of Donald Trump and Elon Musk? Have you checked on who the President currently is? I've got some bad news for you...
That's a fantasy and none of that is going to happen. We may as well talk about scenarios where Canada peacefully annexes the US if we're making things up.
Canada is not going to vote for being part of the US. Canada is not isolated, we're not the country screwing over allies, that's the US doing that. If your scare quotes around "voted for" implies a non-legitimate election, exactly who is going to be running those non-legitimate election in Canada? Are you referring to the sham elections Russia holds in occupied parts of Ukraine? That only happens because it's under military occupation by Russia. For there to be sham elections in Canada, the US would have to invade Canada to make that happen.
There is no scenario where Canada will be annexed by peaceful means. Canada has rejected all discussion on annexation. Talk of annexation are therefore threats of war now.
Annexation can happen peacefully if a country agrees to it. Canada has rejected that, so a non-military annexation is off the table.
The other scenario when an annexation can occur is after it's occupied by a military. Before that happens there would need to be an invasion.
Since annexation has been rejected by Canada all talk of annexation now means the same as invasion and occupation, since that's the only scenario an annexation can happen now.
If the goal is to not have apps be too large, you probably don't want to send the full variable and function names and all of the comments over the wire every time someone loads a webpage. That would be a very inefficient use of bandwidth, wouldn't it?
Most people don't read the news at all, they certainly won't take the time to read a bio on every single article they're reading.
Really the problem is media literacy and everyone becoming so meta minded. If a politician says something, they said it, that's a fact. The constant need to tell people how they should think about everything is where things have gone wrong. What's the strategy behind the thing the politician said? What impact will this have on the voters? Blah blah blah.
Putting a meta layer on top of the news where people will analyze the bias of the person analyzing the strategy behind what a person said isn't getting us closer to the truth, it's building more layers of meta bullshit on top of the other meta bullshit.
Facts aren't biased. It's all the crap they package with the facts that has the bias.
Print the quote. Show the speech. Focus on the facts and let people think for themselves about their opinions on those facts.
I think CTV owned by Bell? Not sure why Bell would want to cover up something their competition is doing wrong.
Also the CBC exists. It's owned by the government so you can get your news from there if you're worried about wealthy owners hiding stuff. CBC Marketplace is all about investigating companies doing shenanigans.
It's been done before with things like the Better Business Bureau.
These kinds of initiatives tend to start taking money from businesses so they get a better rating and oftentimes end up as basically an extortion racket. Though sometimes they're just straight up bought out by big corporation and suddenly that corporation and it's business partners get great scores.
Avoiding 403 seems like a security through obscurity approach to me.
I suppose there might be some special admin only endpoints you'd want to 404 on if the user is not an admin. But for most cases it's really hell integrating an API that 404s on everything... is my token invalid, did I set a parameter wrong, or did I get the path wrong? I guess I gotta spend all day doing trial and error to figure it out. Fun!
Also makes integration tests on your security unreliable. Someone renames an endpoint and suddenly your integration tests aren't actually testing security anymore. Checking for 403 and getting a 404 because someone renamed something will indicate the test needs to be updated to use the new path. Checking for 404 (because the user isn't supposed to have access) and getting 404 (because the path was changed) means your test is useless but you won't know it was rendered useless.
Yeah it would be great to change 230 so that at the very least tech companies are liable for the content their algorithms recommend to people. Seems akin to publishing something so should have the same liability.
But that's not what's happening here. They want to repeal it entirely, this will create problems, which will give leeway for Trump to use EOs to resolve it, regardless of whether that's legal. This will likely end up with Trump deciding what's allowed on social media.
The point of section 230 was to allow sites to do moderation without that resulting in liability. Without it the lemmy instances couldn't operate in the US without being sued into oblivion. What's lacking from the CDA is anything about sites using recommendation algorithms to push content. Because that kind of thing didn't exist in 1995, when the law was written.
Still very committed to being uncommitted, even while other people are facing hardship. Will you still be uncommitted when you're facing hardship from the MAGAs?
