When home consoles used PCB cartridges, they were. That’s because PCBs are expensive to make compared to optical discs.

Yep. They even made a new 3310.

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

Isn’t that just execution by another name?

Eh, replace death with life-without-parole imprisonment and I’m onboard.

If you think about it, LWP is a far worse fate.

The usual tell is when you need to have a cat in the morning just to function.

Because Catholicism.

Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn’t have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can’t make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that’s where the whole ‘being gay is sinful’ bit comes from

They’re also the one straight up using the term, which is why I asked in the first place (that being I had no clue what it meant)

Voe are not allowed in Gerudo Town!

Yep! Can you tell I fuck around on computers way too much?

Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It’s lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain’t one of them.

Out of the loop. What’s a 304?

My mind is going towards HTML status codes.

This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

You understand that most of them would end up in Hamas’s hands right?

No.

It should be, but you know Poe’s law. People blame POTUS for ridiculous stuff.

That’s satire, right? Cuba is a completely different country

Because that’s an opinion question. Very different to ‘what is inflation?’

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
