From the ever green collection of famous last words:

What could possibly go wrong?

Clues point to it being both more real and much worse than pizza gate, or whatever it was called.

The actions of people with nothing to hide /s

I’m indeed quite shocked, yes. At least they didn’t promise to release the Epstein files…?

Not having access to Epstein island any more must have left a void.

What’s the latest on the Epstein files btw?

The United States of Attempted Secessions™

There is also the possibility of running other OS in a virtual machine. Like https://www.virtualbox.org/

If you do that you don’t leave Linux, but spin up an environment where you can have a full installation of i.e. Windows running. Your Windows environment is not aware of Linux, which it is hosted on, and should behave like a normal Windows machine.

I may sound complicated, but is pretty easy to use when you get going. Try watching a few videos on the subject if you are interested.

Show this to republicans, or similar groups, and they’ll lose their shit and have a really bad day 😃

At least Intel, and probably more, are already paying protection? I suppose it’s easier to collect protection than to organise a scam operation.

If that is true, then why demand obscene payment packages?

I think the worst part is how many worst parts there are.

Lock in. They seem to worry that people are unhappy with them.

Strong enshittification in this one is.

Does this only affect digital reproductions?

The article seems focused on the digital angle, but I’m not sure.

Because it’s sometimes easy to reproduce someone’s else voice especially if you are a voice actor.

Is that widespread? My impression is that misrepresentation through fake likeness has exploded from AI generated deepfakes?

And what if you happen to have a voice almost identical to another person?

Then you have the right to your voice and they have the right to their voice. If neither uses the likeness for misrepresentation or other nefarious means then nothing will come of it. If either do there are probably already possibilities within current legal frameworks to prosecute.

It is hygge to read about Denmark doing good work in this area.

The proposal establishes legal definitions for unauthorized digital reproductions, specifically targeting “very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.”

Creative works such as parody and satirical content remain exempt from these restrictions.
