Companies should not have rights, they are not people.

When they become big enough to have power over significant amounts of public discourse they should be regulated to protect public discourse from censorship.

Private entities can engage in censorship, that the US 1st amendment doesn't offer protection against doesn't change that.

Well I doubt the mainstream actually tweaks 3D settings in nVidia control panel. Anti cheat making some online games not work is a bigger issue but still not worth it.

The silver lining in Trump's 2nd term is that it's possible the EU leaderships will be forced to cut reliance to the US.

Hopefully they will make those changes before US switches to a pro US government and no action is taken again.

That's nvidia's proprietary software, only nvidia can add stuff to it.

As for anti-cheat, kernel level anti cheat is not going to happen on Linux, nor should it (or continue being used in Windows)

There is a moon mission and a starship variant is supposed to get people on and off the moon in 2027. Probably wants that cancelled and changed to a manned Mars mission with new, further away deadlines. Such a mission would be probably be cancelled anyways due to the much higher difficulty allowing him to save face by blaming regulators etc and promising SpaceX will colonize Mars "in the next 5 years"™.

Are Journalists (capital j?) sacred or something?

If not are we supposed to be outraged by ill will towards genocide apologists in general?

Fake data to test the validator program as some random guys can't have access to real filled in ballots.

Of course the hard part in hacking would not be generating the false ballots but putting them in the system.

Its a complete non story.

It was not even the framework for countries the US rebuilt like Germany and Japan.

Can't argue with non licensing/copying/backup reasons for preferring CDs or other physical media.

But a lot of people are under the misconceptions that things like licensing came to existence after the switch away from physical media or that there were not DRM in physical media, therefore switching back to a physical media would solve the current problems with lack of control over our media. It will not.

What we need is DRM-free digital media, which we can use wherever and however we want. Just like a lot of us did with MP3s and CDs.

So you don't actually love CDs but the fact you can not use them after buying them. You can still buy non DRM music you don't have to subscribe and you could rip or copy streamed music if it wasn't easier to pirate it.

CDs by the way also are subject to licenses and DRM has started to appear on them. The reason they did not try as hard as with DVDs and Blurays is that Music is trivial to copy, people have been ok with taping from the radio after all. If video on physical media was still a thing you would have plenty of DRM, they'd probably make you buy a newer player after 5 years or so.

As if Israel would let the US take what it (wrongly) considers theirs.
