etrvic··on Chat Control Must Be Stopped – Now
> Besides, there’s no way of really knowing whether Chat Control would actually be (or remain) limited to CSAM.

I definitely agree with the article here. Probably after Chat Control will be implemented for CSAM this would act as a gateway towards using this tehnology for other things.

I am curious whether chat control will extend to mail or other means of online comunication, if it will be implemented ofc(hopefully not).

I’ll probably start communicating with my friends over phone more either way, I don’t want my conversations to be monitored 24/7.

etrvic··on “Attention assault” on Fandom
I had a similar experience this morning. I made the huge mistake of opening Famdom on my phone, and it took me a few minutes of blankly staring at the screen to realize this is actually a legit site. The amount of ads they managed to pack on a 4.7 inch screen was mesmerising.

The problem is i got stuck at that game and searched for a quick solution. Then google straight up made me end up in that pile of ads. I hope people will start realizing what that website is and hopefully migrate their wikis to a better place, although it probably won’t happen.

etrvic··on Sales happen when buyers fear missing out
I don’t really understand how the HN rating system works. I submitted this article 1 day ago, and it got completely ignored. Now I open the front page and see it there. If anyone can tell me how did this happened, I would really much appreciate it.
