Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

I know right?! I thought it would be a favourite!

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn’t explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we’re talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they’d just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we’re talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.

Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

I dunno, why don’t you ask, eg: Russia?

Because by law in certain countries, homosexuality is persona non grata, and a filter needs to be there to legally operate in such countries.

Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.

Yeah but they’re called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.

Is this for a family PC?

Yep! Such container breakouts exist even today in Citrix !

Shit like this was what got me into cybersecurity

I learned to program when I was 10 on a Commodore 64. And we would wear an onion on our belt which was the style at the time… Sorry, where was I?

Totally get that, but we live in a much more dangerous and predatory computer landscape these days. It would be foolish not to take some precautions.

Standard Ubuntu should have you covered.

One word of warning though, don’t be too egregious with the parental controls. If your kids are motivated enough, they will find a way around it.

Education really is your best weapon here. Tell them about the dangers of the modern web and computing.

The problem is the cat’s out of the bag.

Open source image generators already exist and have been widely disseminated worldwide.

So all you’d end up doing is putting up a roadblock for legitimate uses. Anybody using it to cause harm will not be seriously impeded. They can just pick up the software from a Russian/Chinese/EU host or less official distribution methods.

It would be as effective as the US trying to outlaw the exporting of strong encryption standards in the 90s. That is to say, completely ineffective and actually harmful. Enemies of the US were still using strong encryption anyway.

Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files?

Problem with the former is that would outlaw any self hosted image generator. Any image generator is capable of use for deep fake porn

It’s not specific to e-girls. Can be twitch streamers, bloggers, etc

What they mean is if you are a affiliated with a national government. You might also be a target if you are very very rich.

If you’re an average Joe, they probably won’t burn it on you.

Android’s Do Not Disturb feature is also like this. You only get notifications from calls, alarms and apps you specifically allow.

You want to be using Proton for BL2 regardless. The Linux client isn’t updated, meaning no cross play and you can’t use the final DLC. Also it’s performance is shit compared to Proton

EAC doesn’t open up ports into your network as far as I’m aware.

No but the game code does. And that game code also interacts with EAC. You can argue it’s a bug in Apex Legends, and it would be that too, but the fact is that EAC shouldn’t be executing arbitrary commands based on what the game code has given it, so if that possibility exists in EAC, it is still an RCE in Apex Legends and a kernel privilege escalation flaw in EAC.
