I've been saying for YEARS that the EU has been overstepping their bounds by forcing companies to do things that they should have no right to force them to do, and that the EU is becoming a threat. I was downvoted every time and called a "bootlicker" because people loved the EU dictating terms to the "big bad american corporations".
Well now the EU have gone full nanny surveilance state, and people like those who argued against me have no one to blame but themselves. Congratulations.
The EU is good when they're doing good things, and bad when they're doing bad things. Someone has to reign in international corporations and their anti-consumer anti-planet bullshit.
people .. who argued against me have no one to blame but themselves.
You really think people agreeing or disagreeing with you on the internet have/had anything to do with it?
No, not everyone is good when they’re doing good things and bad when they’re doing bad things. The EU have been doing things that many, especially on here and reddit, consider “good” only because of their biases. They’re not objectively good things, but subjective. Things like forcing Apple to allow other payment methods was championed, but imagine if your business is forced to let your customers pay someone else to use your system, and then you’re the one that had to handle all their complaints because they got scammed.
The EU has been overstepping their bounds for years now. The difference now is that they’re doing things that everyone knows is authoritarian. They’ve been authoritarian all along, but the lefties were ok with it because it was authoritarianism that they agreed with.

That is simply not case. Apple has extremely detailed list of payment methods they provide support over. And anything they do not support, they refer you to that payment provider or developer.

EU does flex its power a lot, but the only case I know where you can say they are overstepping their authority was the money borrowing on the EU level during COVID-19 pandemic. Since they have no power of taxation, EU might not be able to repay its debts if countries don't voluntary repay or other countries cover those debts.
Do you have other examples where they breached their authority?

Mixed. They sell phones with "standard" Android and /e/OS. "standard" Android could potencially have strong Google Play Integrity API support, while /e/OS which uses open source MicroG can only get basic Google Play Integrity API support.
But since API check can be required by app developer for any reason, it can easily be abused or mandated by law like age verification or chat control.

Like journalists in Gaza before him, including his close friend, Hossam Shabbat, al-Sharif was well aware he would likely be killed and pre-wrote a posthumous letter in April to be published after his death. We are republishing it in full:
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah's will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification---so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine---the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend---patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Is Meta Scraping the Fediverse for AI?
Building on some initial reports coming from the FediPact account and Dropsite news, we dive into potential measures admins can take for their instances.
Is Meta Scraping the Fediverse for AI?
A new report from Dropsite News makes the claim that Meta is allegedly scraping a large amount of independent sites for content to train their AI. What’s worse is that this scraping operation appears to completely disregardrobots.txt
, a control list used to tell crawlers, search engines, and bots which parts of a site should be accessed, and which parts should be avoided. It’s worth mentioning that the efficacy of such lists depend on the consuming software to honor this, and not every piece of software does.Meta Denies All Wrongdoing
Andy Stone, a communications representative for Meta, has gone on record by claiming that the list is bogus, and the story is incorrect. Unfortunately, the spread of Dropsite’s story is relatively small, and there haven’t been any other public statements about the list at this time. This makes it difficult to adequately critique the initial story, but the concept is nevertheless a wakeup call.However, it’s worth acknowledging Meta’s ongoing efforts to scrape data from many different sources. This includes user data, vast amounts of published books, and independent websites not part of Meta’s sprawling online infrastructure. Given that the Fediverse is very much a public network, it’s not surprising to see instances getting caught in Meta’s net.
Purportedly Affected Instances
The FediPact account has dug in to the leaked PDF, and a considerable amount of Fediverse instances appear on the list. The document itself is 1,659 pages of URLs, so we were able to filter down a number of matches based on keywords. Please keep in mind that these only account for sites that use a platform’s name in the domain:
- Mastodon: 46 matches
- Lemmy: 6 matches
- PeerTube: 46 matches
There are likely considerably more unique domain matches in the list for a variety of platforms. Admins are advised to review whether their own instances are documented there. Even if your instance’s domain isn’t on the list, consider whether your instance is federating with something on the list. Due to the way federation works, cached copies of posts from other parts of the network can still show up on an instance that’s been crawled.
Access the Leaked List
We are mirroring this document for posterity, in case the original article is taken offline.Protective Measures to Take
Regardless of the accuracy of the Dropsite News article, there’s an open question as to what admins can do to protect their instances from being scraped. Due to the nature of the situation, there is likely no singular silver bullet to solve these problems, but there are a few different measures that admins can take:
- Establish Community Terms of Service – Establish a Terms of Service for your instance that explicitly calls out scraping for the purposes of data collection and LLM training specifically. While it may have little to no effect on Meta’s own scraping efforts, it at least establishes precedence and a paper trail for your own server community’s expectations and consent.
- Request Data Removal – Meta has a form buried within the Facebook Privacy Center that could be used to submit a formal complaint regarding instance data and posts being part of their AI training data. Whether or not Meta does anything is a matter of debate, but it’s nevertheless an option.
- (EU-Only) Send a GDPR Form – Similar to the above step, but try to get the request in front of Meta’s GDPR representatives that have to deal with compliance.
- Establish Blocking Measures Anyway: Even if private companies can still choose to disregard things like
robots.txt
and HTTP Headers such asX-Robots-Tag: noindex
, you can still reduce the attack surface of your site from AI agents that do actually honor those things.- Set Up a Firewall: one popular software package that’s seeing a lot of recent adoption for blocking AI traffic is Anubis, which has configurable policies that you can adjust as needed to handle different kinds of traffic.
- Use Zip Bombs: When all else fails, take measures into your own hands. On the server side, use an Nginx or Apache configuration to detect specific User Agents associated with AI, and serve them ever-expanding compressed archives to slow them down.
In all reality, fighting against AI scraping is still a relatively new problem that’s complicated by lack of clear regulation, and companies deciding to do whatever they want. The best we can do for our communities is to adopt protective measures and stay informed of new developments in the space.

Does the GPL apply to content published on the fediverse? If yes we're getting a great open source model for free.
Also obligatory fuck META
Meta's Threads has launched a beta allowing users in some countries to share posts to ActivityPub-compliant Fediverse servers. ActivityPub is a protocol enabling interoperability between social networks, allowing posts to flow between networks regardless of ownership. Key points: * Threads users can opt-in to share posts to the Fediverse. * Replies to Threads posts on the Fediverse won't appear in Threads itself initially. * Meta plans further integrations, including allowing Threads users to see and engage with replies from other servers and follow users on other Fediverse servers. * Future Threads profiles will consolidate followers from both Threads and other Fediverse servers. * Challenges exist due to the lack of standardized features like quote posts in ActivityPub. * Meta aims to provide a fully interoperable experience, reaching new audiences and fostering community. * Interoperability allows Meta to better understand user behavior across different platforms for monetization purposes.

Here's one way to fix this that might even overturn the law. Turn off Wikipedia in the UK. Put a big banner up on the homepage that says, we have turned off Wikipedia in your country because of your government. Here's how to use a VPN to access our content.
Edit: Make it apologetic and conciliatory. Like, we're sorry, we've had to disable Wikipedia in your region because of your government's draconian policies. If you would like to visit our content, please use a VPN. If you need help learning to use a VPN and then link to a here's how page
I read from another comment somewhere that the law or whatever said that they should not promote a VPN, not that they could not promote a VPN. Those are two totally different words.
However, your way is probably safer and not reliant on language.
Correct, as it has to. In addition to behavior, CheckUsers use IP addresses to help identify sockpuppets. If you could bypass the exemption by just saying "here's a new account; pls exempt", it would quickly become common knowledge among sockmasters that all they need is to quickly ask and be accepted days later.
At that point, the block on proxy editing near-completely fails at one of its main functions.
I'd disagree with the notion "it has to". The chilling effect on a large number of new wiki contributors could be considered more detrimental than weakening sock puppet protection. (IE if a huge country suddenly started jailing people who make edits not considered state-approved)
I suspect there are plenty of ways to allow new accounts to make edits on a smaller subset of articles until they have passed some threshold of trust which could minimize the sock puppet abuse.
Point is everything is a give and take.

Under-16s must bring a valid membership card each time they visit a library if they want to use a computer.
Children's computers are available at all libraries and can be used by children aged 11 and under with a valid membership library card.
Under-11s cannot use our express PC express service.
Under-11s may only use the internet under the adult supervision of a parent or guardian.
Our library service offers free wifi to anyone aged 11 and over.
Under-11s attending an event in the library will need to be accompanied by a parent/carer (unless otherwise stated).
Under-5s must never be left unsupervised at any time.
Children need to be at least 14-years-old in order to look after children ages 8 and over.
Children under 8 must be with a parent or responsible adult (aged 18 or over).
We try our best to make our libraries safe and welcoming. However, as a public service, we can never fully guarantee child safety. Therefore, no child under the age of 11 can visit without parent/carer supervision.
If a child under the age of 11 visits the library unsupervised, staff will follow the relevant safeguarding procedures, which include contacting the parent/carer, and alerting the police, social services or their school.

are you dumb?
none of the links you posted talk about restrictions on certain materials within libraries, e.g. all of them allow you access any information at any time.
ALL of the links you posted talk about restrictions on the membership registration process, not what you can and can't borrow from the library.
this isn't about censorship, it's just about establishing who you call when a kid misbehaves on library grounds or damages something the library owns.
that's why a guardian is required to co-sign memberships: kids break shit. like, all the time!
Yes every single one of them does. do you not know how access fucking works. You cant even be in there until certain ages. Youre not allowed to access material until a registered known adult approves. Theyre not allowed on computers without approval or oversight. Tjeyre not allowed into certain areas of the libraries without approval and access.
If this is the reading comorehension level over there they really need to reconsider some these.

I'm generally more annoyed at how the early enthusiasm of participation on the site has died out in the face of paranoia and moderator mania. There are so many gaps in both the modern and historical backlog of citations and categorizations. But do I want to invest dozens of hours contributing to a site where a few admins are just going to tear all my work back out again on a bureaucratic technicality?
It is a site that's alternatively being strangled to death by admins fearful of malicious actors and tore apart by wave after wave of sinister propagandists and hostile agents.

I've found it less and less capable of keeping up with current events. Enshittification truly comes for us all.
It’s easy to focus on the negatives and miss what an absolute treasure it still is.
As a historical artifact and a demonstration of the potential for open-sourced editing, it's a milestone. But we're clearly in the twilight of the Wikipedia era.
However the vast majority of human knowledge isn’t current events.
Broadly speaking, everything was a current event at some point. As Wikipedia calcifies, it loses the ability to capture and collate new information as it is produced.
Even if Wikipedia were to never get updated again it is still extremely useful.
In the same way as any dated encyclopedia, sure. I've got a copy of my dad's childhood encyclopedia, dated to 1954. Lots of interesting factoids in there, assuming your interest in the world is satisfied by an English speaking editor's ability to consolidate the information available to his firm at their publishing deadline.
On its face... maybe? Until the Foundation falls into the hands of malicious management, anyway.
But do I trust that a public website can't have their security breached by malicious actors? Of course not.
But with the need of an ID to access the fucking Wikipedia, UK is on the best way to emulate NC in the near future.

Just got a new GPU, why is it so hard to use it?
Hey all, just got a Geforce 5070 to replace my 2070 from years ago. Ubuntu's been pretty smooth sailing for me until now, and I'm not exactly the best at navigating this stuff.
When Ubuntu starts to boot, the GPU stops outputting display to my monitor. As though it doesn't detect the new GPU. I tried putting the 2070 back in and downloading the 570 drivers but it didn't change anything. I found a tutorial for what seemed to be my issue that asked me to change the kernel, but halfway through the tutorial, commands that worked on their machine started failing on mine. I wish I'd documented what the error messages were because when I went to poke around more today, I got a message about kernel panic and can't even boot with the 2070. Where do I go from here?

Well the driver is loaded, and you have processes engaged with it, so it's functional.
If you're losing output, maybe you have a conflict with the nouveau driver. Have you blacklisted it?
Honestly I haven't even heard of a nouveau driver. I sure haven't blacklisted it.
To be clear I got this output with my old GPU. Not sure how I would get to the command terminal with the new one.
You need to run these commands on the machine having the problem. Giving output from another machine doesn't help solve anything.
If you're getting dead output on your 5070, it means the driver is more than likely NOT loaded, so the output will be different.
Boot the 5070, and when you get a black screen, hit ALT+F2 to drop to a console shell. Login, and run 'nvidia-smi', and you should get something that confirms it's loaded, or something that says it is not loaded.
If it's not loaded, it means you haven't installed the drivers (you sure you did?). Check your packages, make sure the driver is properly installed, then do this to blacklist the nouveau driver which may be in conflict.
Reboot. See if it works.
If you have at least Ubuntu 24.10 and the NVIDIA 570.133.07 driver installed with the 2070, it should be plug and play with the new card.
If you put the 2070 in are you able to get a working system?

Can you run nvidia-smi and confirm you're on the 570 driver?
Also after you do a failed boot with the 5070 put the 2070 back in and try run this command journalctl -b -1 -p 0..2
to check the log from the previous boot and filter for only high priority issues. This should give some insight on whats failing when you try and boot with the 5070.
Another dumb check but have you got the display cables plugged into the gpu?

I hate to be the jerk but it's because you got Nvidia. Intel and AMD cards enjoy significantly better graphics card support.
I would also try a different distribution that's known for having more recent kernels and faster development. Something like Manjaro is actually a pretty good fit for this situation.
I hate to be the jerk but it’s because you got Nvidia
No its not. The nvidia 5070 works on linux and has for a while now.
I would also try a different distribution that’s known for having more recent kernels and faster development. Something like Manjaro is actually a pretty good fit for this situation.
We really need to avoid just suggesting a different distro as the solution. In this case it makes no sense, they're running kernel 6.14 and the Nvidia driver is out of kernel. Phoronix benchmarked the 5070 running an older version of ubuntu and still got good performance and it worked well. That means their version of ubuntu which is new enough to support it. Im not sure what the issue is but I think switching distro's is a last resort once you've tried everything else.
Great but it's not working out of the box and clearly that was the expectation.
AMD has built in support so no extra steps needed.
Ubuntu has a history of not having the latest kernels and having spotty support for new hardware.
Sure you can fix it but again the out of the box expectation.
We can agree that it should work and can work and I don't disagree that always suggestions a different distribution is not generally helpful but watching people suffer trying to get Ubuntu working is a sore spot for me.
Its not an out of the box installation. He has an existing ubuntu installation and is upgrading the GPU. We can always be like oh you ran into a single issue, just get rid of your hardware and swap to an entirely new distro. Thats a worst case solution to the problem.
AMD has built in support so no extra steps needed.
Doesnt matter, he isnt asking about an AMD card.
Ubuntu has a history of not having the latest kernels and having spotty support for new hardware.
Its actually the opposite, ubuntu generally has very good hardware support. Cannonical work with vendors to test hardware works on their platform. The 5070 phronix benchmarks were done on ubuntu. Suggesting its a distro issue is ignoring the problem
In this case, a different distro is the exact thing to be suggested. They are looking for out of the box support functionally speaking.
Which case if they want something that is newer than they really should be on a distro that is focused on newer support. Such as Arch or Fedora. Ubuntu, mint and other distros based on Debian all share the same problem of depending on where you are in the release cycle, you can be wildly out of date. Even if you have a newer colonel, there can be weird. Incompatibility and funky problems that occur.
Generally speaking, there is a very good reason why every single distribution that is focused specifically on video card support, gaming modern hardware is Arch or fedora based.
Frankly, for a lot of normal users who aren't used to Linux or just want things to work out of the box with no fiddling and good documentation. Then they really should just be avoiding Debian and Ubuntu base distributions.
They're great if you have newish but a couple years old hardware and you just want something that is Rock solid out of the box and you don't plan to ever fiddle with it.
But for someone running a 5080 and likely is gaming, they should just be on cachy or bazzite. We're installing your drivers setting up proton setting up steam, setting up everything. A gamer or someone trying to do any sort of advanced graphical s*** is quite literally a one-button process. With the dev team working on the distribution explicitly going out of their way to make sure the support for new hardware is as seamless and stupid proof as possible.
Would suggest cachy over Manjaro if you are explicitly looking for video card support since it's focused very heavily on making sure gaming is supported.
I've run into a lot of cases where things that get kind of iffy on endeavor or Manjaro work just fine on cachy because of their extra work they put in for this use case.
I find with multiple video ports, its best to plug in all of them till you figure out which ones work.
Nvidia is not well supported, and most video cards have problems in Linux. Generally, if you have to use a proprietary driver, it will have specific issues. The free drivers will just be buggy.
Best is to see what cards are known to work well. There are maintained, well there used to be, lists of hardware that works well.
If you installed proprietary drivers, they are often difficult to remove. There is not always instructions on how to uninstall. So part of your problems might be the drivers.
My 2080 has issues and cuts off part of the screen on Linux mint. My 6700xt and amd setup would never. I switched and tried every driver. I've never used nvidia. Anyone have advice?
Edit: it was some stupid AI scaler on the SmArT TV. What joke.
cuts off part of the screen
this happens to me if i use nouveau. i solve this by installing the driver and setting the correct refresh rate.
what are the system logs saying about it? have you tested the card on another machine/os?
did you delete the nvidia config files between reinstalls?
alright go back to nouveau then try a complete purge with sudo apt purge *nvidia* && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt autoclean
and delete all the leftover nvidia files you can find. namely the .nvidia-settings-rc on your home directory, but check xorg.conf for any weirdness. then reinstall the latest driver.
beyond that changing to x11 or vice versa can help. i know the cinnamon de in mint has issues with nvidia sometimes, testing it out on gnome or kde is a good idea too.
not to mention using an ssd from a previous computer complicates stuff a bit further, doing a clean install might prove useful too.
in any case, here's a resource for debugging it further: docs.lambda.ai/education/linux…
wish you luck. nvidia mostly works well with the major des nowadays, but can still be annoying as fuck when it has issues. if nothing works, hit me up again and i'll see what i can do to help.
Using the nvidia-bug-report.log file to troubleshoot your system - Lambda Docs
Lambda GPU Cloud documentationdocs.lambda.ai
return to stock kernel, uninstall and completely purge the old drivers through another TTY. make sure to delete nvidia configs and files from your home directory, then install the new ones with ubuntu-drivers install
.
this usually does it for me when it comes to nvidia weirdness.
You fucked up by buying Nvidia first off. But you have to use the open source drivers Nvidia doesn't officially fully support their newest cards on the closed source ones.
Should be a simple switch over and your good to go.
In the future never buy Nvidia if you are going to use their newest generation they always lag a full generation behind for proper support. It's absurd.
Your second fuck up is using Ubuntu. If you want to use the most recent generation of hardware your option is basically arch or get fucked over to some degree.
Ubuntu lags behind by sometimes over two years in hardware support. This is true of every Debian and Ubuntu based os. Mint and popos and some fedora distros have the same problem. Tho fedora tends to be far better with this. They just are all over the place with how fast they push things. So very case by case basis.
You basically need to be on bleeding edge kernel and packages for proper support.
This is the biggest reason gaming focused distros are all arch with the expections of bazzite which is at least based on fedora which also tends to push things really fast.
Simply put. You want nice hardware support for new harder? Pick arch and stick to AMD. Or at least go with fedora.
Stay away from Debian/Ubuntu/mint/popos. They are great till you want hardware support for anything newer then 1 to 2 years old depending on where in the release cycle you are.
I mean, there are quite a few others than Arch+family that package a very recent kernel too. Fedora as you mentioned, but also NixOS, openSUSE Tumbleweed and even Gentoo if you're that kind of a person. I bet I missed some.
But yeah Ubuntu is not necessarily one of them
A few things in this post are not accurate. The 5070 is supported by the nVidia Linux drivers since version 570.124.04. There's also absolutely nothing wrong with using Ubuntu. They have a PPA for the newer nVidia drivers, which work fine with the current LTS release.
OP doesn't say what kernel they're running, or what version of Ubuntu. That would be useful information to have.
