  There’s nothing illegal about downloading streams, but if the purpose of your downloads is to get fraudulent royalties, then of course it’s illegal as wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but totally fine when so many other media companies do it?

  Do other media companies create fake streams?

  Fraud is the crime of obtaining money or property by deceiving people. He deceived streaming platforms, as he botted his songs in order to earn royalties.

  The whole “AI” thing is irrelevant; it’d be the same situation if he manually produced all his music.

  you’re only getting part of what an endoscopy can do.

  But it’s much less intrusive, no? So should it not be considered to see if a good diagnosis can be made via it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The spin-spin relaxation! I’m not a radiologist, but it’s my understanding that T2 weighted images are the best way to see lesions. And it’s believed that ketamine abuse gives brain lesions. I’d bet a couple bucks that his brain looks like Swiss cheese. (I’m not sure if I missed some reference or if the question was serious btw)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no doubts that he frequently does that, as well as other controlled substances. But it’s okay for him to abuse drugs; he’s rich and powerful after all! Though it would be interesting to see his head under an MRI with T2 and see how many Olney’s lesions he has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taco Bell Programming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That guy: wow, these people are such suckers… keeping me employed for over 18 years despite not building better infra?

  How much chaos is it gonna be for your company if he’s hit by a bus?

  No it wasn’t. Though it was on the remastered “collector’s edition” VHS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Government should “urgently” legalise e-scooters says shared transport charity - says serious safety incidents are rare⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What are your rules about bicycles? In Sweden, we regulated them kinda like bicycles - as long as the motor has an effect under 250w, and is limited to driving at speeds of 20km/hr, you’re able to use them in the same places and manners as other bicycles.

  Recently they started to require traffic insurance, and basically all insurance plans have zero deductibles as long as you’re wearing a helmet. I barely see anyone with helmets still, but yeah…

  Or is the biggest nightmare that there’s not many designated bicycle paths, and so people are zooming around where pedestrians are walking?

  Yep, the US went from a duopoly (if that), to a triopoly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta will shut down its Teams competitor Workplace next year⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Workplace is basically just an internal/“private” Facebook for your company; you have groups, posts, chatting, voice/video calls, and that kind of stuff.

  So it basically gave nothing other than “use a UI similar to Facebook’s, but on a platform that only your own employees can access”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft won't fix Windows 0x80070643 errors, manual fix required⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But the partition is Microsoft’s own, basically no one has ever touched it themselves. So why can’t they do some housecleaning to make enough space? At the very least, they could fix the error messages to be more descriptive on how to fix it.

  The tin-foil in me says it’s just a tactic to get people to switch to Windows 11. “Oh, I have errors with my updates? I should really try upgrading and see if that fixes it, I don’t want any hackers to steal my megabytes…”

  I thought one of the big problems with America’s student debt was that you can’t effectively default on it? That it will still persist even after filing for bankruptcy for example?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Sweden, over 1000 packages are listed as a backlog risk-situation. But the numbers are a bit inflated, because each package counts as another item on the list (if Paracetamol 500mg with 30 tablets is marked, it’s probable that both Paracetamol 500mg with 100 tablets and Paracetamol 250mg with 30 tablets will also end up in that situation).

  So yeah, there are shortages, especially for medicines that have become increasingly popular (Semaglutid for example)… but it is very likely Brexit has made it worse for the British, as otherwise many could be imported easier from the single market.

  All children born in Sweden after 1975 have blood samples stored in a biobank. A bit scary tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  well with PGP, the header is unencrypted

  Is there a single large company that even sends PGP email?

  logging into example.com with the user’s email and that 2fa code is going to be a breeze

  Sure, IF 1. you already have the user’s password, and 2. a new code wouldn’t be required/the previous code invalidated when initiating a new login session?

  Like, I’m not saying that 2FA codes via email is secure, but you’re implying that they are making a security hole via this - which I don’t see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what you’re implying here regarding headers? Email is insecure regardless; even when using SMTP with TLS, it’s not like the headers are exposed whereas the body would be encrypted or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US immigration enforcement used an AI-powered tool to scan social media posts "derogatory" to the US | "The government should not be using algorithms to scrutinize our social media posts"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have recently gotten off telegram and my instances of being questioned by the CBP (for no reason at all) have virtually stopped.

  What kind of questions did you usually get? And did you have “who can find me by my number” set to “everybody”? Because the CBP gets your telephone number in different ways (most likely ESTA if you’re using that), and then they can easily see your Telegram account.

  I have Telegram and travel often, and I have never gotten any weird questioning from CBP other than the normal “what are you doing here and when are you heading back”. Then again, no one can find my account via telephone number…
