So the US Congress has been busy the last four years or so trying to build a draconian internet surveillance bill under the guise of protecting the children. Britain has been trying to push something similar to this for the past year, and many other countries in the American hegemony have working for several years now to outlaw encryption. The good news at the moment is both chambers Congress seem unable to reconcile the differences between their two bills and combine them into one.

https://reclaimthenet.org/the-house-just-voted-for-kosa

Let's say they finally do pass a bill like this though. Would it be the outright end of anonymous forums based in Western countries? Is it even enforceable? Will people revolt to decentralized/distributed protocols?

What would be the future of online discussion?

My guess is this would push server hosting to countries that don't respect American surveillance networks. Which would prompt American governments to do the thing they always criticize other governments for doing: construct national firewalls against the global internet.

All good points. It's been happening since cuomo forced ISPs to shudder their NNTP servers. ICANN existed to keep the internet open so they can't do anything about it. https://www.futurescope.co/can-icann-stop-a-government-from-shutting-down-the-internet/
I'm guessing all bandwidth will eventually be reserved exclusively for commerce and streaming services. AI will likely replace search engines entirely, and the old Internet will simply disappear.

I don't know about you, but 4chan has long needed peace; it has not been anonymous for a long time, it uses a captcha that collects user data, and if it blocks users, that's just life. Where is your anonymity? Reddit, at least, allows you to create an account with a proxy or VPN. And what is 4chan? There is also a Russian-speaking equivalent called Dvach, which is even worse; it even blocks posts that are not from Russia. What kind of nonsense is that? There is also a law prohibiting GPT, and God forbid you joke about politicians; they will simply ask the owner of Dvach to leak your IP, and that's it. So the only anonymity is the absence of identification, but for the provider, you are still the same. In short, these sites are dead. In short, I have long been waiting for your opinions and criticism; if I am mistaken or wrong about something, please let me know.

It's my favorite OS and distro to date. Instead of two ISOs for sysinit, they let me choose sysVinit during install.
>really old computers
I saved an overheating R9 290X by replacing the TIM, found a $5 AX200 card for BT and an nvme when they were cheap for a franken-build.
My only gripes were u have to click advanced options in the liveusb maker for GPT partitioning or it defaluts to MBR, which won't boot or install for UEFI. Then to restore numlock on startup, use settings editor. And after initial install, upgrade replaced the working mesa driver and left me with the black screen and blinking cursor on reboot. AI ruined search engines so I figured it out by right clicking the updater, preferences, then 'basic upgrade' to keep what was working in the live session. Now it's great.

Thanks that worked. I found some info on why it wasn't working:

Beginning very soon, you'll need to have Deno (or another supported JavaScript runtime) installed to keep YouTube downloads working as normal.

>Why?

>Up until now, yt-dlp has been able to use its built-in JavaScript "interpreter" to solve the JavaScript challenges that are required for YouTube downloads. But due to recent changes on YouTube's end, the built-in JS interpreter will soon be insufficient for this purpose. The changes are so drastic that yt-dlp will need to leverage a proper JavaScript runtime in order to solve the JS challenges.

If you're on any mainstream distro, your repositories most likely already have yt_dlp ready to be downloaded without having to use pip or compiling from source. Downloading it from the repo usually breaks the functionality of it if you downloaded it using pip or from source.

When you initiate a system update, it will update ytdlp from your repo's and thus break it again.

>>13565 's suggestion should fix it regardless of where you got the download from, so it's best to run that after an update.

At the moment you're best bet might be to go for an electric bicycle, you can get relatively open technology, for motors, controller circuits and battery packs.

I believe both sides can be quite extreme so here's my balanced take:
>supplementary use of AI (chatbots, TTS, NPCs, enemy AI, RPGs, level generation, self-driving cars, AI assistants and code generation) are pretty based actually as long as they produce correct outputs and don't get you into any legal trouble
>non-commercial use of AI is also fine and can create something unique and interesting (memes, AI covers, AI dubbing)
>AI art is mostly slop except for some rare exceptions so people should at least be able to easily filter it and it should be marked appropriately
>commercial use of AI other than what was already mentioned is NOT cool and leads to more layoffs, more enshittification, more plagiarism and more mass surveillance
>proprietary AI software is ALSO not cool since it can be spyware that sends your data to the NSA

>they no longer have an edge over AI
That's just not true. The recent DLSS 5 disaster proves this. This technology is simply not the same as AGI: it does not understand anatomy and lighting, it cannot create something original, it constantly forgets small details, it uses literally random pictures from the Internet as a training data (including AI-generated ones) which leads to output quality degradation and it often gives inconsistent results because it's just a random image generator that doesn't understand what an art style is.
>Most people should just accept that humans aren't as special as we think.
I'm not saying that humans will always be special but for now AI is like a monkey stroking a brush againt the canvas. It's not intelligent enough to have the same creativity and vision as humans do. Believe me, I want AGI to be real too, it feels lonely for the human species to be at the top of evolutionary development. But until AGI is made I do not think AI will make as good of an art as meatbags do. Yeah, some stuff created with the use of AI like Neuro-sama, Fortnite's Darth Vader, Sora 2 memes or Angel Engine are entertaining but image generation specifically just does not cut it.

It's funny how the alt-right is associated with AI slop because the Nazi aesthetic is made entirely out of plagiarized symbols
>the swastika is taken from Buddhism
>the SS symbols are taken from paganism
>the Aryan race is taken from Indians and Iranians
>the ideology's name is taken from socialism
>the Roman salute is taken from Romans
>the architecture and art are taken from Romans as well
Like, there's literally nothing original that the Nazis did. In fact, they burnt entire libraries of """Jewish""" literature. I think that's very ironic in hindsight.

Also, has anyone noticed how diffusion models fuck up the Brazilian flag? I'm so sorry, Brazilian bros.

Oh, I forgot to mention two other major drawbacks: increased hardware prizes and environmental impact. The corpos, due to the AI craze, started buying GPUs and RAM en masse while gamers and Earth-chan got fucked in the ass. But instead of the corpos reducing their use of AI they're trying to push it on people as a solution to a problem they created. And that solution makes games look like shit.

Man. Remember when high-budget games looked actually photorealistic and didn't require a data center to run? Me neither.

This might sound absurd but AI will only be relevant once people give a shit about its opinions on the work people create. In other words AI has to become a consumer and humans the producer.
