I found a number of articles specifically stating that video games and software remain illegal. Unfortunately I couldn't pinpoint the specific part of the law as they appear to br written in French and was running into hurdles with Google Translate character limits that I couldn't be bothered to work around.

I'm not sure if it's explicitly illegal or if music, videos, etc are explicitly exempted, or if software etc is different due to terms of service for example.

Furthermore, it's illegal for anyone to record your IP address torrenting a work and track you down that way as it violates Swiss data protection laws.

In Switzerland, individuals are still free to download whatever files they like for their own private use (except for software and video games).

Note that uploading or seeding a copyrighted work, which was a misdemeanor under the previous law, remains illegal.

I don't think it's literally a search and replace but a part of the prompt that is hidden from the user and inserted either before or after the user's prompt. Something like [all humans, unless stated otherwise, should be ethnically ambiguous]. Then when generating it's got confused and taken it as he should be named ethnically ambiguous.

oceanofpdf also has a lot of direct downloads for ebooks and they're very good

We want to make sure the increasing use of digital payments occurs in a way that helps promote greater competition, innovation and productivity across our entire economy.

If we are to take this stated goal at face value it would seem to be a good thing. Getting ahead of the curve before the tech giants find a way to turn these products against us.

The problem is a lot of Australian's will not take this at face value especially in the current climate of the movement away from physical cash. It's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are doing this to protect the Australian people with the lack of any sort of harm or complaint. Feel free to point out if there's something I'm not thinking about regarding this point.

Personally, this smells extremely fishy to me and the most likely explanation in my mind is that they want to kneecap the tech giants and allow our financial sector to push in this space. I can't imagine CBA, ANZ, etc particularly enjoying their control over this space being eroded. They have every opportunity to innovate in the space but they're clearly lacking the drive to do so. Instead of improving competition by forcing the big banks to step up, they're knee capping actual innovation.

On new installs it does force you. I had to do it today (Windows 10). There are workaround such as attempting to log into a banned account, or other weird hacks involving disconnecting the internet and know the right combinations of hidden menus to navigate.

I know you've solved the problem. I would still like to suggest using the asdf version manager. It's a good idea to switch to it because different problems tend to crop up when installing different tooling. Usually these are unique to each tool and sometimes hard to find the right solution.

Instead, I use asdf to manage it all for me. You get the added benefit of being able to install different versions of the same tool. Sometimes a project is built using a different version to the one you have in your package manager. It's nice to be able to use different versions locally while still having a global default.

So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.

If the photos go to a private directory but you are now rooted you should be able to directly access that directory and copy the files out. This is assuming that they are stored as regular files in that directory instead of being solely in the sqlite db. Does that work?

Which model do you have? Mine doesn't have a "home screen". It turns on to the last used input. There is a bar that pops up from the bottom with all the apps on it and that opens when you turn it on. Honestly I didn't realise how different the UI may be across different models.

I would have but I don't want to tie my Lemmy account to my actual identity :/
