There’s a reason it’s legally considered CSAM. as I explained it is material that depicts it.
You can’t have your own facts, especially not contrary to what’s legally determined, because that means your definition or understanding is actually ILLEGAL!! If you act based on it.
CSAM = Child sexual abuse material
Even virtual material is still legally considered CSAM in most places. Although no children were hurt, it’s a depiction of it, and that’s enough.
First of all, it’s by definition not CSAM if it’s AI generated. It’s simulated CSAM
This is blatantly false. It’s also illegal and you can go to prison for owning selling or making child Lolita dolls.
I don’t know why this is the legal position in most places. Because as you mention no one is harmed.
Ah yes of course, I just haven’t used manual mount for almost a decade. So I completely forgot we used to do that. I have to unmount it first though, because USB sticks are automatically mounted.
We just had a case here (Denmark) where 2 companies were putting a “No PFOA” labels on their frying pans. But they’ve been told by authorities that that’s illegal, because it’s misleading advertising since PFOA is illegal in EU.
Thy got off with a warning, but in case of repeat offenses they will be fined.
But USA is much different, and many “confuse the consumer” strategies do not seem to be generally illegal “over there”.
Yes that’s annoying too, I have no clue why it does that, but when the sync says “clear”, I always wait a couple seconds, and run sync again a couple of times, to see if it’s actually finished. And only THEN unmount the stick.
Copy to USB does not seem very solid on Linux IMO. So I also ALWAYS buy sticks with activity LED.
But even that can fool you, sometimes when I think a smaller copy is finished, because the LED stops blinking, it suddenly starts up again, after having paused for about 1½ second?!?!
noatime
Oh boy, yes I remember I used to disable that shit ages ago in fstab, that’s quite annoying that’s still necessary!!!
How do you do that for USB sticks?
except linux waits on updating the UI until all write buffers are flushed, whereas Windows does not.
I wish that were true here. But when I copy to USB the file manager ( XFCE/Thunar ) shows the copy is finished and closes the copy notifications way way before it’s even half done, when I copy movies to a stick.
I use fast USB 3 stick on USB 3 port, and I don’t get anywhere near the write speed the stick manufacturer claims. So I always open a terminal and run sync, to see when it’s actually finished.
I hate to the extreme when systems don’t account for write cache before claiming a copy is finished, it’s such an ancient problem we’ve had since the 90’s, and I find it embarrassing that such problems still exist on modern systems.
A standard boot system for Arm would have been awesome 10-20 years ago! I dreamed about that already back in 2005 when the OLPC idea was new, but when the netbooks finally came out, based on somewhat similar ideas, they were exclusively Intel!!!
I must admit that after having waited in vain for 20 years now, I no longer give a shit. I cannot fathom how Arm didn’t create such a standard at least a decade ago?
Initial Netbooks with Linux were very popular, but when vendors switched to a deprecated version of Windows, that ran way worse in every way, popularity of Netbooks actually dropped for a while, and the entire concept was basically declared dead. Because they were next to unusable compared to the early Linux Netbooks.
Netbooks with Arm/Linux could have been HUGE!! But now the time has passed, because many use IOS or Android instead.
Ultimately, “the present” is something applicable to and that exists within the mind of a single observer.
No, it’s an objective thing. No observation can be exactly “at the present”, I clearly explained that earlier, there are always delays, that doesn’t change the fact that like a photo is not the past being real, so it is for all observations. That doesn’t change the fact that there is an objective “present”.
One of the hallmarks of science is that different people can independently measure something and confirm its existence. If no two observers can ever agree on what constitutes “the present,” then how can “the present” be said to exist at all? It’s a fundamentally unscientific concept.
Oh boy, yes I know that argument, and it’s a flawed argument IMO. It’s about definition. If we agree to meet somewhere at the same time, then when we meet we are at the present. There is no sane argument about that IMO. We perceive each other with a slight latency, but that does not prevent us from being together in the present.
To argue the present doesn’t exist is nonsense, and no more than a philosophical curiosity. Scientists absolutely work with a present too, and obviously compensate for latency.
I could ask the same question reversed: How can scientists compensate for latency to a degree they can measure gravitational waves, without an objective time frame, that requires acknowledgement of a present?
Clocks traveling near the speed of light don’t just appear to slow down, they actually slow down.
Which is EXACTLY the ONLY thing I said you can actually do.
You can slow down time locally. And for a photon it’s slowed down to a standstill.
That does not contradict ANYTHING I’ve claimed.
It can be argued that special relativity eliminates the concept of absolute simultaneity
That’s not the same thing. Obviously all experiences are delayed, and therefore about the past, even if it is merely picoseconds.
In that way we can only experience the past, that is obvious, and not relevant to the existence of an objective present.
Although we can only experience the present with some delay depending on circumstances, (can be billions of years astronomically) there is zero doubt that there is an objective “present” we all experience and act according to.
That’s not a concoction or a fantasy, but the actual reality. Or are you trying to argue the present doesn’t exist?
Time is seemingly an emergent property of causality. But the exact nature of what time is exactly, is not well understood.
Basic principles about whether time is linear or quantized isn’t even entirely clear.
But to argue the present doesn’t exist is like arguing nothing really exists, and then I don’t really have anything to say to you, because that’s like solipsism and that’s absolute nonsense not worth debating.
Maybe not because you can’t prove a negative, but since there is no proof that it exist, there is no rational reason to believe it does.
It’s all wishful thinking and speculation for hundreds of years with nothing to show for it.
I do however have the proof of logic, because if they do exist, all sorts of logical inconsistencies arise. Which is why fantasies about it, always end out in either infinities or paradoxes.
I can’t prove an invisible pink unicorn isn’t in my room either. But I can say I can’t see hear or otherwise detect it’s presence, even after thorough investigation, and closing the room off for an extended period of time. I still can’t prove it, but the logical conclusion is the complete an utter lack and absence of an invisible pink unicorn in my room.
All speculation on time travel end out in either paradoxes or infinities.
You are basically wasting your time, time travel is an impossible fantasy and not reality.
Time can be slowed, but there is no way it’s possible to travel back in time, because the past no longer exist. So there is nowhere to travel to.
In the same way the future does not exist yet, so you can’t “travel” to that either.
Time can however be somewhat suspended locally, so if you are suspended in time locally, it will appear as if you are traveling to the future. But in reality you are merely progressing in time faster at a slower pace locally.
Be more careful, and best of luck to you.
I’m surprised that such a niche forum could be targeted,
If you can find it, authorities can too. Sounds like you are far from careful enough, considering where you are.
You are very naive, and should probably be a lot more careful when in Saudi Arabia.
They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone.
I suppose THEY is Saudi Arabia.
How can you be surprised about that? Saudi Arabia is a Sharia law country. An absolute shit stain of a country in many more ways than this.
You can get a death penalty for posting something against Sharia Law on any site. Actively using Lemmy could be enough to see you in jail.
MBS said no more 196

Society has decided otherwise, as I wrote, you can’t have your own facts or definitions. You might as well claim that in traffic red means go, because you have your own interpretation of how traffic lights should work.
Red is legally decided to mean stop, so that’s how it is, that’s how our society works by definition.
