AI hallucination may soon be the norm for many people. Thanks for your labor.

Still... a useful practice drill. Many felt it was gameover simply because regulation moves in this direction. Misinformation doesn't mean this is nonsense, only that we have a bit of time before slop-conjecture becomes reality. How can we take advantage of that time.

Good, good.

'Don't trust, verify' also applies to the media.

It was fake news...

GrapheneOS

This EU law banning unlocking story was untrue. The publication posting it retracted it in a subsequent story without updating the original.

Since I posted the link, I would clarify that I originally read this Italian article:

Tom's Hardware

L'Europa ha ucciso il software libero per gli smartphone

L'aggiornamento della direttiva RED limiterà i diritti degli utenti. Non sarete più liberi di fare quello che volete dell'hardware che ...

that seems more informed and detailed (and not an AI slop at all), but shared the xiaomitime.com one because it's in english. I suspect that the original news is from this Italian magazine, and xiaomitime.com AI copied/translated it, changing the date to a week earlier to gain a SEO advantage. Read the article from Tomshw and let me know if you think the problem still doesn't exist, please. These are the two cited laws: DIRECTIVE 2014/53/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

Directive - 2014/53 - EN - EUR-Lex

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2022/30

Delegated regulation - 2022/30 - EN - EUR-Lex

Arnt they just phasing it out on the new models

Interesting, thanks.

Definitely not game over. Just means either workarounds would need to be found, or people into custom ROMs, likely for its privacy/freedom properties, would movw to Linux-based phones, of which the options are increasingly common by the year.

True but I think we're getting to a point where they'll try to control not only devices, roms, vpn usage but internet access

Thankfully we're past an inflection point. They can absolutely make it more controlled for the masses, but remember the "internet" as commonly known is just ~10% of the actual internet thanks to the highly centralised nature. Accessibility points for the remaining 90% have been planted and are becoming increasingly common thanks to protocols like Meshtastic etc and to an extent even the recent Bitchat with messaging over Bluetooth. You can't properly police protocols. Facebook, Youtube, they're not protocols, so they can and will be policed. I think we'll begin to see more and more big platforms and content creators decentralise and make their own pockets in the internet (something we've started seeing with a lot of content creators) and by carving out their own space om the internet, they'll much more easily not be prone to censorship etc

we tested zaps on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at uxellodunum@proxymana.net, over a period of 2 minutes. Zero of the zaps were successfully paid... your server did produce invoices, however, we were unable to successfully pay the invoices. it may be that your node or wallet service was offline at the time we attempted the zaps. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --

... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
