It's been supported for several years now
Most of the software people are suggesting here is ancient. A lot of it does not support accurip checks or drive offset correction, which I consider to be essential features. Don't use abcde, I made that mistake a few years ago
cyanrip is definitely the way to go, there really is no alternative that has the same feature set. Other than EAC in wine if you require scorable 100% log files.
The problem primarily is when a niche interest becomes exploited for profit by capitalists and no longer maintains the community-oriented culture it once had.
It will lose aspects of it that make it unique and special but they don't appeal to the general public, because ultimately making as much profit as possible means attracting as many customers as possible.
Even RFK Jr is a staunch Israel supporter too, so no escape there
Israel's right to defend itself
This is one of the dumbest dogwhistles in existence. Everyone knows that's not the actual point of contention.
I agree with you in instances where it's not generating a real person. But there are cases where people use tools like this to generate realistic-looking but fake images of actual, specific real-life children. This is of course abusive to that child. And it's still bad when it's done to adults too, it's sort of a form of defamation.
I really do hope legislation around this issue is narrowly tailored to actual abuse similar to what I described above, but given the "protect the children" nonsense they constantly moan about just about every technology including end to end encryption I'm not very optimistic.
Another thing I wonder about, is if AI could get so realistic that it becomes impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone with actual CSAM (where the image/victim isn't known so they can't prove it that way) is guilty, since any image could plausibly be fake. This of course is an issue far beyond just child abuse. It would probably discredit video footage for robberies and that sort of thing too. We really are venturing into the unknown and government isn't exactly know for adapting to technology...
But I think you're mostly correct, because the moral outrage on social media seems to be about the entire concept of fake sexual depictions of minors existing at all, rather than only about abusive ones
The code probably used an if statement somewhere to throw an exception if some condition is incorrect, then called strerror(), which gets the status of the last syscall. But the error was probably a logical one in the application and had nothing to do with the last syscall. Or perhaps success of a syscall is itself an error condition. For example if a file already existing should be detected and cause a failure, calling stat() successfully would be an error
How is this relevant to the technology community?
It bothers me that a circlejerky and oversimplified answer like this one is more highly upvoted than the numerous high effort, highly detailed, and technical explanations for why it happens.
This is starting to sound a bit too Epstein-like...
The reason I use a swap file is so that I can have only one partition backed by LUKS disk encryption, rather than having to screw around with lvm which comes with its own performance overhead and all. I've personally never had issues hibernating to.it, but given how much buggy uefi firmware is out there I'm not surprised to hear that other have issues
