Sat 02:19:45 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ After I discovered that it is not legally possible to sell copies of my own software in the EU anymore - because of the CRA and EcoDesign acts - I started making that chess game and hoped that I could maybe sell it on Steam (it was going to have a multiplayer functionality) but apparently the EU KIDS act now makes self-hostable multiplayer games illegal...
Sat 02:21:56 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ What's the point of doing anything anymore
Sat 02:22:26 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ When I start doing something, it becomes illegal. Happens every time
Sat 02:23:01 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sat 02:23:24 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sounds like my favorite multiplayer game is illegal
Sat 02:24:14 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ these idiots are banning everything, they're going to stretch themselves very thin
Sat 02:24:18 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ These laws are clearly written by people who simply cannot comprehend that anyone can make their own computer programs and a plain text editor is the only thing required to write them
Sat 02:24:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ just as the kiddie-stealers and the bug people want to take over
Sat 02:24:36 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ They think that everything comes from some large corporations that can be controlled and regulated by the state
Sat 02:25:21 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ They think that a "server" is something that requires a gigawatt-grade data center, and cannot comprehend that there is a function in the POSIX specification called accept() that can be used on any internet-connected system
Sat 02:26:28 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ I don't understand how something like the CRA and EcoDesign acts even passed through without practically any criticism, so that there was no high-profile people noticing any problems with them
Sat 02:26:39 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ And also the DCA, although it focuses mainly on higher-level things
Sat 02:27:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ these things usually pass because the EPP wants them, and the EPP has so much power because retards in europe keep voting for them
Sat 02:27:25 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ These come so fast and if they don't pass on the first try, an identical law is immediately proposed again
Sat 02:27:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the same reason france, germany and austria are on the verge of abolishing the republic
Sat 02:28:04 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ And also the new packaging directive, whatever it was called
Sat 02:28:14 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ It doesn't affect computer software that much but it affects everything else
Sat 02:29:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ europeans will have to get rid of this christian/"conservative" disease if they don't want to be killed by it
Sat 02:30:58 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ it also seems that the EU KIDS Act brings elements of the OS-level age verification laws in the US to the EU
Sat 02:31:51 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ So that it makes most Linux distributions and practically every hobby OS illegal
Sat 02:33:19 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ I will go to prison
Sat 02:36:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ afaik they made open source OS-es exempt from it in the usa already
Sat 02:37:45 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ In the USA they have more active lobbyists on all sides and also these things are covered in the news better
Sat 02:37:56 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ a lot of noise has been made about building independent european software, but if they don't adopt that exemption, nothing will come of that independence
Sat 02:38:17 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ Here in Finland the news are only war propaganda and climate propaganda. I have to follow international medias, mainly from outside the EU, to know what is happening here
Sat 02:38:44 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ MinceR: The CRA and EcoDesign acts already make that independent software illegal, and those passed
Sat 02:39:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ then the people who passed those had better start learning mandarin
Sat 02:41:54 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ And apparently the EU also wants to close the entire internet behind age verification. It seems that these lawmakers think that "the internet" is something that can be seen inside the web browser's viewport; they don't realize that their proposal is technologically impossible, because it would require replacing the entire TCP and IP protocols with something else, which would render all existing
Sat 02:42:00 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ operating systems incompatible with that new system. And they cannot comprehend the fact that anyone can host services over TCP/IP on any computing device, given that IP packets are being routed between the public internet and that device
Sat 02:42:12 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ They are so incredibly stupid that it is beyond words
Sat 02:42:16 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's time to build a new network anyway
Sat 02:43:22 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ Apparently even offline games now require age verification, if the text in the proposal is literally interpreted...
Sat 02:44:46 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQRcK9nYg9g
Sat 02:46:16 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ MinceR: ISPs cannot even get IPv6 to work properly, so surely there will not be new base protocols for "the internet" very soon...
Sat 02:46:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ obviously not from ISP-s
Sat 02:46:34 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ That would require replacing everything
Sat 02:46:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ from individuals
Sat 02:46:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ we could build mesh networks, connect neighboring houses with cables, etc.
Sat 02:46:47 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ New operating systems, new carrier-grade routers
Sat 02:47:44 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, allegedly japan and switzerland are refusing to jump on the bandwagon
Sat 02:48:54 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ So I don't need to outsource hosting to countries that end with -stan? Switzerland is enough?
Sat 02:50:00 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ "All requirement will apply retroactively" so I guess I have a problem then
Sat 02:50:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sat 02:50:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future."
Sat 02:50:33 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ I have released so much stuff that is now retroactively illegal
Sat 02:50:46 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ Games, software, an operating system
Sat 02:50:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'd suggest becoming anonymous or pseudonymous
Sat 02:51:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ stop trusting the state, none of them were ever trustworthy
Sat 02:51:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ every year they prove they don't deserve our trust
Sat 02:51:31 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ It seems that these laws are designed to target productive individuals
Sat 02:51:46 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ People that are difficult to control
Sat 02:52:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'm not sure what they're designed to do, it seems that there enormous voids in the minds of the suits who come up with them (both on the state side and on the megacorporate side)
Sat 02:52:55 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ could be an effort to signal virtue, or perhaps it's meant as some sort of trap against someone
Sat 02:53:13 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ We have more and more laws that make writing a simple piece of computer code illegal
Sat 02:53:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe the suits are worried that after taking over and grinding the free software community into dust, something else might arise in its place eventually
Sat 02:54:08 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ I will go to jail and document my entire journey publicly
Sat 02:54:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that won't help, most people don't care
Sat 02:55:08 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ http://sininenankka.dy.fi/leetos/philosophy.php
Sat 02:55:13 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ http://sininenankka.dy.fi/~sami/clippychess/
Sat 02:55:23 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ these are my crimes
Sat 02:55:32 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ archive them
Sat 02:56:04 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ So that the entire world knows what kind of a monster I am
Sat 02:56:50 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ http://sininenankka.dy.fi/leetos/legal.php
Sat 02:57:27 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ This is ridiculous
Sat 02:59:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the world is full of monsters and they don't care
Sat 02:59:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ even if they did, most of them wouldn't understand any of this
Sat 03:01:10 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ Operating systems, games and utility programs shouldn't be _that_ hard to understand
Sat 03:01:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and humans shouldn't be that stupid
Sat 03:01:24 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and yet, here we are
Sat 03:01:26 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ People use and play them on their computers every day
Sat 03:01:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ most people use a tiny fraction of them with zero understanding
Sat 03:02:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sadly, enough people use them now that suits with ASPD want to control it
Sat 03:02:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and most of the suits with ASPD are just as clueless, they just want power
Sat 03:14:47 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ But what can I do if they make laws like that
Sat 03:15:05 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ It is not just computer stuff - literally everything that I start doing becomes illegal
Sat 03:15:27 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ The safest bet is to not do anything at all
Sat 03:15:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ people have been doing illegal things for thousands of years
Sat 03:16:20 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ But this is about stuff that is completely normal and shouldn't be illegal to begin with
Sat 03:16:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, states shouldn't exist in the first place
Sat 03:16:44 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ this entire idea of putting one ape in charge of the life of another ape needs to go
Sat 03:17:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and so does the practice of giving ASPD enjoyers everything they want
Sat 03:19:02 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ Generally old-age pensioners seem to always advocate for new regulations, rules and bans
Sat 03:19:19 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ And they especially like to ban stuff that they themselves used to do when they are younger
Sat 03:19:45 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ Their generation has the habit to close doors behind them
Sat 03:20:15 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ Finland has more than one million boomer voters, which makes the majority of voters
Sat 03:21:01 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ An average 70 years old watches TV five hours every day and believes everything that comes from it
Sat 03:21:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that behavior comes from both the authoritarian personality type (which is scarily common) and the "may the neighbor's cow die too" attitude
Sat 03:21:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or "if i can't have it, nobody else can" attitude
Sat 03:22:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or the "crabs in a bucket" mentality
Sat 03:23:02 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ But they had it - they just want to prevent the younger generation from having the same things
Sat 03:23:15 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ When they are old enough that they are not interested in it anymore, they make it illegal
Sat 03:23:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ presumably, they no longer do
Sat 03:23:20 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/picture/2026/oct/02/unlikely-revolutionary-mr-rogers-will-lead-the-uprising-the-stephen-collins-cartoon
Sat 03:23:54 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ It was the boomer generation who developed all computing concepts that we use nowadays
Sat 03:24:09 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ So now they make new clear-room implementations illegal
Sat 03:24:18 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ clean room*
Sat 03:24:44 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ And the same applies to everything technological. Literally everything
Sat 03:24:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ megacorporations want general purpose computing gone
Sat 03:24:59 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ All prototyping and self-building is made either illegal or otherwise impossible
Sat 03:25:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that's why there are backdoors in almost all the hardware we can buy
Sat 03:25:12 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that's why there are backdoors in so many operating systems
Sat 03:25:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that's why there's DRM and laws supporting it
