Yes, different drivers mean that could be possible. Run the same benchmark under both Windows and Linux if you want comparable data.

Enforcement of the existing regulation. Fraud is already illegal.

I was configuring COM ports just last week. Turns out the software is so old that it only supports COM1.

Fraud is already illegal.

But why would I want my emails also to go through the spyware OS

Beats me, but you're the one using Windows, so...

If your email provider offers a webmail client, then you might give that a shot, though it's still going to run under Windows.

Why is the author suggesting government regulation should be involved here? Spamming and scamming is nothing new, at all. This is on the platforms to actually do a substantial job of moderating.

That's not Windows, though.

You can either route IPv6 through the tunnel, or if the tunnel doesn't support it, you have to block it somehow if you don't want it going out to the Internet. You can do that by creating a firewall rule to block it on your host or network, or by disabling IPv6 entirely at the host or network level.

They can own it, actually. If you use the characters of Bugs Bunny, etc., or the setting (do they have a canonical setting?) then Warner does own the rights to the material you're using.

For example, see how the original Winnie the Pooh material just entered public domain, but the subsequent Disney versions have not. You can use the original stuff (see the recent horror movie for an example of legal use) but not the later material like Tigger or Pooh in a red shirt.

Now if your work is satire or parody, then you can argue that it's fair use. But generally, most companies don't care about fan fiction because it doesn't compete with their sales. If you publish your Harry Potter fan fiction on Livejournal, it wouldn't be worth the money to pay the lawyers to take it down. But if you publish your Larry Cotter and the Wizard's Rock story on Amazon, they'll take it down because now it's a competing product.

Good news, they already do! Artists can license their work under a permissive license like the Creative Commons CC0 license. If not specified, rights are reserved to the creator.

No, patent trolling is when you patent a bunch of stuff and make money by suing people instead of actually producing that product.

Filing complaints on behalf of someone you don't legally represent is fraud.

Everything else is just a sparkling memory error?

Microsoft did hire Lennart Poettering last year...

Not to mention the Lenovo Service Engine rootkit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo#Lenovo_Service_Engine

Always has been.

You have a lot of faith in human authors.

Twitter’s trending algorithm was easily manipulated

TikTok’s “For You” algorithm was feeding hundreds of hateful and inflammatory propaganda videos

Social media platforms such as Facebook and TikTok have accelerated the spread of propaganda

Sounds like the problem is not AI/ML, but the platforms not moderating what they're hosting. Even before AI/ML, this was an issue, and even if we could snap our fingers and make it go away, it still would be.

No, same issue with the parent elements. Eventually you'd be blocking too widely and block the whole thing.

Having free time makes you a loser?

Let's say every lemmy instance has a "memes" community, and you want to find them. Unlike DNS, where there's one authoritative record for memes, to find all the different communities for memes, the local instance would have to send a search request to each other federated instance, wait for the results (what if the remote instance is offline?), figure out how to sort them, paginate them, and display them to the user.

Would it be possible? Yes, but it's probably more of a headache than the devs want to implement. If you check the issue tracker, you might find some discussion about it.
