Depends.
You can argue that it’s basically art/political speech. You’ve done it to draw attention to flaws in the approach and to highlight how ineffectual the current system is, and that if you actually wanted to do make fake IDs you’d take a much less high-profile approach. As such, there’s no actual criminal intent required.
Don’t know if a judge would buy it though.
Ok, but one of the most important use cases is non-local access.
If I’m at home I can just go to the door.
Go on, drop a rocket on Zuck’s Bond villain hideout.
Let’s see what happens.
Commercial versions of these systems exist in the UK.

The Gdpr makes these things harder to do, but not automatically illegal.
Surely you have noticed that there is a lot of criticism of the GDPR and EU tech regulation.
Yeah, and some of it is even true.
This was a deciding factor for me choosing to get Thermoblock rather than a boiler. I keep it on the counter ready, so there’s no unpack time.
By the time I’ve ground the coffee the machine is warm and ready to go, and I use a distributor rather than a tamper because it’s less fuss and I don’t notice a difference.
Espresso takes around 30-40 seconds including grinding, steaming milk another 70 seconds but this can be done at the same time. So maybe 90 seconds plus clean up.
You know open-source doesn’t mean publicly available. It means the person, or in this case the US government, that brought the software should have free access to the source code to edit and distribute it as they like.
So yes, the military should use something functional equivalent to open source to prevent vender lock in and to allow for external audits. They probably shouldn’t give it to Russia or make it freely available online though.
If LLMs just copied stack overflow they’d respond to every question with “Closed as duplicate. Question already answered.”
Hey guys, I’ve found JD Vance’s lemmy account!
Please tell me this user name and these comments are a bit.
Moving abroad is different to giving up citizenship and doesn’t remove your right to vote or fund candidates.
Just make sure you’ve got insurance, and they’ll be doing you a favor.
You’re in a car. There’s probably a charging port there. Sucks if you don’t have a phone, but it sucked before when you didn’t have change.
Parking has always been a privilege not a right, and if you’re not prepared you’re going to get a ticket.
I get that it’s annoying but if my phone broke and I suddenly had to pay for parking with coins, I don’t know what I’d do either. Everything is cashless now, where would I get coins from?
I mean if everything is ephemeral and the users are anonymous and don’t log in, the federation wouldn’t actually do anything.
Yeah but parking has always been bad.
You had to carry change. Meters were always out of order or would just eat your change without issuing a ticket, and the people checking never gave a shit and would give you a fine anyway.
My only complaint is the app, everyone should offer a website or an app, but if you’re going to park there a few times an app does make sense.
Because they’re fucking stupid.
I can pick up a phone in either hand and type on it using only that hand, and I can play games using both hands at once. If I’m using a bracer, it means I can’t do anything else with either hand or use my off hand to interact with it.
The only problem a bracer solves is not having pockets, but even then you still need to wear a bracer.
Then you wouldn’t need to tell people to work more hours.
Most of America is “at will”, so yes you can fire people for blinking. It gets more complicated with unions and companies internal policies, and you’d still need to pay severance.
But basically you can always do a musk. Pretend the firing was a resignation and let it drag slowly through the courts, and refuse to settle.
This is the most famous example, but it’s for phones rather than desktops.
Same with OneDrive.
It’s just a folder of markdown files, basically anything should work.
Tor browser is not Tor.
This is Tor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)
Tor browser is an additional piece of software built on top of it. Using the network(what everyone else means when they say tor) is unfortunately not enough to prevent fingerprinting.
You’ve got it backwards.
This kind of voting forces the existence of two party systems.
Suppose you have two parties one left wing that gets 60% of the vote and one right wing that gets 40% in every district. Right now the left wing always wins.
If the left wing party splits into two blocks of 30% each, the right wing always wins.
So if you want to win, you can never split from the large parties, even if you feel unrepresented.
