We simply have to make the Internet unusable for them until they stop being lazy.

They will absolutely not migrate to IPv6 until they HAVE to

Probably recent active exploitation

I think people sitting on a handle for 10-20 years without active use is annoying, so I'm fine with them taking them from dormant accounts. I think the selling is sketchy though.

It's less sketchy than third party underground sites, though, which is the alternative.

If OP had known his handle was going to be taken away, maybe he'd have tried selling it himself instead.

Came here to say this.

You’d probably feel differently if you paid $44 Billion for the platform

Can you even imagine?

Hey it's a revenue stream. I guess it's like selling domain names? Better than more ads maybe? Better than selling your data? Who are we kidding, they'll do all of the above.

Governments are deprecating legacy media. Tech oligarchs are in now.

And I thought being a stochastic parrot was limited to LLMs, but apparently they learned it from somewhere...

Man, I hope some of the "negative social consequences" more directly affect some of the politicians involved before they can implement this :)

Don't worry. Google has the training data already; they just don't want others to get it.

If your threat model is being v& by feds, maybe you should keep your server at home behind Tor.

Hosting tor outbound server at home is stupid idea.

Your home is gonna be raided by Police and you will wait months or year to get your shit back and then if nothing, gonna be charged for having pirated windows and Photoshop lol

real story

lmao please tell more

Not even two years ago, see https://www.golem.de/news/nach-hausdurchsuchung-deutscher-to...

And it's not just a one off occurrence either. Tor exit node operators getting v& has been a thing for decades: https://www.heise.de/news/Anonymisierungsserver-bei-Razzia-b...

These days, every American's threat model should include being v& by the feds, and here in Germany, the situation isn't much better, you can get v& for saying the Minister of Interior is a dick [1].

Yes, this was later on ruled unconstitutional, but it doesn't change the facts, and, worse, Germany doesn't have a "fruit of the forbidden tree" rule.

Proper OPSEC dictates that the server be located as far away from home as possible, ideally in a location with zero ties to your person.

And all Sony got in return was people exploiting their consoles harder and pirating games more.

I assure you datacenter GPUs like B200 do fail regularly (within months in many cases), so much so that it's a problem for labs doing large training runs.
