<p>The problem with slippery slopes is that you never stop midway.<p>Banning any form of legal, libre software, shows that you are not floss friendly and I do not want to host my code with organizations like yours. I dropped sourcehut when they banned cryptocurrency software and today I drop you.<p>Looks like I'm going back to self-hosting and accepting patches via email.</p>

<p>Just wanted to let everyone using this UI framework know that the developers of PrimeVue decided to go proprietary only going forward[1].<p>I found out about this by accident when I was brushing up on PrimeVue and noticed that they now require you to specify a license key when creating the Vue app.<p>Any recommendations for developers who pull VUE from a CDN and don't go through a build step? NuxtUI doesn't seem to support this use case.<p>Source

<p>I don't think whether a country is an importer or an exporter matters at this point. This is likely going to develop into a matter of national security. Nations cannot allow most of their domestic industries to be destroyed.<p>If the US doesn't reverse course soon, I think we'll start seeing large-scale closure of international markets to US companies very soon. Even with US retaliation, there is no other option.</p>

<p>I asked this question in another thread [1] but I'll ask it in a different way here:<p>If the US continues to limit advanced AI to it's own domestic companies, US companies will have a large unfair advantage over foreign competitors who will no longer able to compete.<p>Wouldn't it then make sense for governments around the world to start banning or tariffing US products and services to protect their industries?<p>1: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48696965">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48696965</a></p>

<p>If this becomes the norm, what incentive does the rest of the world have to keep their markets open to the US?<p>If US companies have a large unfair advantage such that domestic competitors are no longer able to compete, then wouldn't it make sense for governments around the world to ban or tariff US products and services?<p>If I was responsible for national economic policy, I would place this at the top of my non-emergency agenda. The world needs to act quick before their industries fail.</p>

<p>What exactly is illicit about what they did?<p>Legally, model output cannot be protected by IP laws whether domestic or international. The most they can hope for is civil relief which is a stretch given the literally illicit methods they used to train their models.<p>Ahtoropic got treated the same way it has been treating everyone else. This is the bed they made and now they, too, have to sleep in it.</p>

<p>This is common sense. It's astonishing that this needs to be explicitly stated on a site like this.<p>That's not to say that 30% isn't a crime against humanity. About 1.5 million children were murdered during the Holocaust (1.5M of 6M+ deaths). Israel murders more children than adults when compared to the Nazis.</p>

<p>> production has been discontinued and the two direct generational successors were canceled, in sequence. First it was skipping a generation, then it was canceling it entirely. The rumored "Pro" version also appears to have been axed.<p>Pity. Genuine pity. Guess I'll continue using my 5 year-old out-of-support device until someone decides to make a decent GrapheneOS-compatible tablet with stylus pen support. If it breaks, I'll just go back to notebooks.</p>

<p>A lot of the pushback browser vendors got for locking APIs behind so-called "secure contexts" was because everyone (including them) knew this would happen. If there is a centralized system, some politician will manage to find a way to fuck with it.<p>Iran and other tyrannical governments can easily set up their own CAs and force their citizens to use them. Iran likely already has this infra in place. This ban does nothing but highlights LE as the liability it is. The decades-old certificate authority scheme is no longer fit for purpose and needs to go.<p>If you're a web developer, consider offering your site through public key-addressable networks.

<p>Yep, very much this. I don't bother looking to them for anything in this space because the hostility they show towards general Linux support appears to be rooted in principle and appears to be very much deliberate. It almost feels like Linux support would run counter to how they want their processors to be used.<p>Whether this is true or not, it's pretty safe to assume anything based on their stuff is not for me.</p>

<p>I've been using Brave for years and have no complaints. Their browser's security is better than Google Chrome thanks to them disabling a lot of the stuff that Google ships and keeping their own stuff disabled unless I opt in. Brave browser is private by default (unlike Firefox)[1], and it doesn't try to force me to accept an EULA or terms of service just to use it.<p>Their search engine isn't the best but none of the search engines I use are, not even Google.<p>So to me, they've already succeeded. Can you elaborate on the issues that make you think they haven't?<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/brave-deemed-most-private-browser-in-terms-of-phoning-home/" rel="nofollow">https://www.zdnet.com/article/brave-deemed-most-private-brow...</a></p>

<p>Google hasn't been useful to me as a general search engine for a good while.<p>I've been using Ddg and Brave for general search and Yandex for deep-ocean expeditions (of the jack sparrow variety) and topics that US tech giants censor.  I am looking for good Chinese search engine so that I can search things that Yandex censors or when Yandex's bot detection goes crazy (I get blocked with infinite captcha about 25% of the time).<p>The only thing Google remains good at is local search. If I want to buy something locally, nothing else comes close.</p>

<p>> People don't actually believe every car should have a GPS tracker so that if a pedophile drives a car, the police can track it.<p>It's not about what people believe, but what they are willing to publicly push back against. If such a law was proposed today, I bet it would pass because the only discussions around it would be whether the data can be kept safe and what punishments to dole out if the car owner access this data. Arguments about privacy will be waved away or dismissed without debate.<p>In fact, let's make a pointless bet: I bet my imaginary internet reputation that the US or EU will pass a law within the next 10 years that requires the continuous recording and collection of data that not only includes GPS, but also face and audio data whenever a car is in motion. This law will impose severe punishments on any owner that accesses this data or deletes it.<p>I desperately fear for my family and want things to improve, but we are going to  lose this battle.</p>

<p>The problem with the reasonable framing you suggest is that it gets thrown out of the window the moment someone utters Protect the Children®. I'm willing to bet that most people, including those with kids like myself, don't truly believe that surrendering our basic rights to better protect the children is a rational thing to do, but they would never dare to push their opinion publicly. The few that do get all but labeled as, you guessed it, fraudster terrorist money launderer drug dealer pedophiles.<p>It's the the Emperor's New Clothes in real life but for morals. No amount of Rossmanning is going to help society walk back its collective hypocrisy.</p>
