Okay I think I mis-handled the threading. I thought you were replying to the comment about dumb phones and those are most definitely available in the United States.

You are looking for something that runs Sailfish but that OS is meant for the Euro market so its targeted at handsets meant for use there. The entire supported device list is a measly 16 handsets and all but one of those are made by Sony! It's a crazily niche OS.

The radios inside American cells phones are controlled by parents and property standards...

Yes, I'm aware of that. It's literally no different for European cell phones. The Jolla C2 is a rebadged Reeder S19 Pro Max S and whatever modem is buried in that thing is going to have precisely the same issues. Patents are global and at this point even the Chinese are following them, much less a small Turkish manufacturer like Reeder.

(which is a fully programmable tracking device almost hidden to the OS BTW)

They're all like this. All of them. Even the ones in a handset running Sailfish.

you cannot reproduce or even modify the radios due to this horrible law in the U.S called DMCA

The DMCA has very little to do with Software Defined Radios...which is precisely what the modem chips in these handsets are. Frankly I don't WANT people fucking with the SDR in their handsets. You can do it with lots of other SDRs (GMRS, Amateur, WiFi, etc) and people inevitably abuse the ability and fuck things ups.

The DMCA is a rotten law but isn't anywhere close to the biggest problem when it comes to SDRs and Phone Handsets.

In the U.S you can’t buy any of these devices...

No. My Father in Law has one and they're available from Verizon, AT&T, and others.

...and one of the unofficial conditions of you getting access is that you have to have government surveillance and soon censorship on your device...

Where are you getting this disinformation from?

Imagine a hallucination engine being developed globally by white men in China on data gathered by white men in India.

Wait...what?

Truth is that even here in the United States roughly 30% of the AI Workforce is non-male. You can hop online and look at pictures from AI Conferences from around the world and notice a high participation of non-male presenting people, sometimes approaching at least half the audience.

I think they were joking about that

Nah, there's a pile of misinformation circulating on social media claiming that the deceased had broken arms / legs / bruises / etc.

People unthinkingly gobble it up because it fits their world view. Farther down in the comments here you can find people already claiming that it's a cover-up / conspiracy because the Coroner's Statement (he's black BTW) doesn't jive with what they want to believe.

Dude had defensive wounds like bruises and a broken arm.

Citation needed especially since the Coroner's department has specifically refuted this.

MFA is the biggest hurdle. I literally could not do my job without it.

I want Roku to fuck all the way off with that plan.

Hmph. As a one time mod or top mod of several "default" subs I can confirm that the image is true.

Can't have the IA getting it for free when Google is paying for it. Reddit management is a bunch of morons.

Why does it have to be one or the other? I both read books and watch YT videos nearly every day.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago

Yep, and every one of them already complies with age verification laws so as new laws are added they're going to comply with those as well. There are very few web admins / sysops / site operators out there who are willing, or even able, to buck these kinds of national laws.

Many fediverse hosts will make an effort to stay open by shifting their servers to countries that are out of reach of verification and law enforcement but that will only last so long.
