That'll only ever pass of the big cloud vendors allow it. No way that Azure/AWS/Google wouldn't object if a sizable portion of their user base get upset and threaten to leave. How much of that user base argues is unknown though.
Generally yes, it would matter a lot how it was structured. Today you couldn't call up AWS and ask for the details on a service owner out of privacy reasons and there are ways to register things by proxy. If they started stripping those kind of protections away though there's bound to be some pushback.
Constant cunty moves like this is why I will not spend one fucking red cent on anything Nintendo ever again.
Yet again, this was not impacting their business/profits in any way shape or form, if anything it helps keep their brand relevant, and they still fuck it up for everyone.
Pirate everything Nintendo.
Retroarch + Vimm's lair is one good source for ROMs for those starting out.
In this case, Japanese IP laws, which are among the strictest in the developed world. That's what allows Nintendo to legally throw their weight around like they do. And given that Japan is the home of many of the world's most valuable IPs, not just in gaming but in many other fields, not to mention the fact that corporate control of the gov't and society is on a whole other level there compared to the West, don't expect those laws to change any time soon.
I've owned all of Nintendo's portable consoles (except for the 3DS), a Wii and I currently have a Switch. I have like a thousand euros worth of games on it, all bought through the store.
But I'm tired of this relentless fuckery, and when my daughter's old enough to use the Switch, I will hack my switch and pirate the games I haven't already bought.
Same with streaming, for years I paid for 3 or 4 services, but I'm tired of those fuckers nickel and diming me, and making me jump through hoops to play my paid for content on Linux, so I canceled everything and now run jellyseerr+Jellyfin which is a much better experience.
However I haven't pirated a single PC game in like 20 years, because Valve and Steam are awesome and the prices are fair. Same with Spotify, though Ek is a tool so I'm starting to look for (legal) alternatives.
What I'm getting at is, I don't mind paying for my entertainment, but when I start feeling like a cash cow for fucking assholes you better believe I will sail the high seas.
It may be useful for something like ed2k too, to fight poisoning (remember all those horse porn files instead of what you were looking for, except for cases where you were looking for horse porn but found Star Wars).
It's really funny how big states today have solved the problem of public outrage at wholesale censorship and surveillance, simply by introducing it 10 times slower than all those goosestepping predecessors.
Definitely. Just take one tiny step at a time. No one will notice and it all just seems normal: "It's always been like that." No, it hasn't always been like that. The tiny steps got you to the same place, it just took longer.
I've talked to some people of the "relative of a bureaucrat\politician" kind. If it makes this emotionally easier for you, they know that they are the bad people.
They just think they are smarter and stronger and thus deserve to screw people.
That's the same method politicians have done to get controversial bills passed. Because they know they can't pass something like "ANNEX AMERICAN PRIVACY ACT" right there out in the open. It'll get shot down. Political suicide just to get it on the docket.
But if they do just enough bills that pass to make people think things are going okay, when we least expect it, they'll lump it in the next big budget bill and it'll become law. Then we'll all go "Huh, wha?" before we know it.
That’s exactly what the article is about. It basically points out that mm-nintendo.com domain is owned by MarkMonitor the brand reputation firm that also owns a bunch of mm-{brand name}.com domains. And basically points out that while it does look like it seems like a scam domain, it really isn’t
Yet, despite an overseas focus, Americans won't be able to avoid the proposal's requirements, which covers CDNs, virtual private servers, proxies, and domain name resolution services, among others.
... and ...
The premise is relatively simple. By having a more rigorous sign-up procedure for platforms such as Amazon’s AWS, for example, the risk of malicious actors using U.S. cloud services to attack U.S. critical infrastructure, or undermine national security in other ways, can be reduced.
No need to assume, you can see this on all of their comment history. They are claiming ownership of their words, or in the context, ownership of how they’ve arranged others words
I was thinking of using this comment to train my for-profit LLM, but now that I see the licensing agreement, I know I will never be able weather the prolonged court battles.

Honestly at this point it's more about just reading the replies from people who get bent out of shape about seeing that link, than actually protecting myself from bots. It's almost like a strange Internet Rorschach test. It's honestly kind of weird how many people respond back negatively to that link.
Having said that, primarily it's an attempt to get AI companies that use bots to not use my comments to train their models, or at least give citation of my name if they do, which I've never seen any company do at this point for anything that they use to train any their models.
I know I will never be able weather the prolonged court battles.
It's a momentary copy and paste, a 'low hanging fruit' thing I can do to try to limit interaction with bots. If it works, it's a bonus.
Also, I'm retired, I have time on my hands. You never know. 🤷
"Security by obscurity" is very much an end user "i don't need to harden my server/accounts because nobody would bother hacking me" attitude and is really is "dumb as fuck"
But KYC is just expanded due diligence before providing services, thats why I thought it as privacy issue as to why someone would be against it as opposed to it security wise.
I still don't see how you've gotten from that to "nationally enforced security by obscurity" though
I think we fundamentally disagree on these ideas, and that’s ok.
“Implementing systems that are not vulnerable to attack” is an impossible task. And passing KYC legislation doesn’t preclude anyone from hardening their system and I didn’t read any signs that the government plans to leave any of its systems unhardened.
DHT is an identifying protocol by design, it is how people find you to send/receive data. If your connection to the swarm is anonymized there really isn't a ton the AI is going to be able to do that isn't already happening with traditional methods.
It is, but I can see a few use cases that could make it useful. Namely, it can look for common scam/virus patterns to filter more effectively and offer better content suggestions. There are also cases to be made for more descriptive indexing and content identification: lots of torrents have particularly bad naming schemes or misspellings that make finding the content somewhat more difficult or involved.
A few years back Dana White said he was going to crack down on illegal UFC streams. Then one night at a press conference he announced, "You guys remember the guy I was talking about who was doing the illegal streams? WE GOT HIM. He apologized and promised he'll never do it again." These losers are completely out of touch.
If it's possible to bypass the paywall, that means there's already a class of unauthenticated clients you're allowing to see it. I have no interest in complying with whatever infrastructure you use to implement this discrimination.
Implementing a true hard paywall is trivial software. The only reason bypassing is possible is because they're trying to have their cake and eat it too by allowing (eg) search engines to see it unauthenticated.
