I really wanted the name of this article does not sound dramatically but I was not able to invent any other title … none the less the wireless/WiFi topic can be problematic on the FreeBSD land.

Smartphone USB Tethering One of the alternative possibilities is to use your smartphone with USB cable to provide the Internet connection.

The first and obvious way is to just use that smartphone with USB cable attached to your FreeBSD to provide Internet connection no matter if that smartphone provides that connection using LTE/4G connection or WiFi connection to some WiFi hotspot.

In the wake of the recent Iranian government crackdown on dissent after Mahsa Amini’s death, the international hacktivist group Anonymous has launched a new operation against the country’s online infrastructure.

It is worth noting that on September 16th, 2022, a 22-year-old Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini died in Tehran, Iran, under Police custody.

Amini was arrested for failure to follow government-mandated forms of the Hijab.

A Google search for the Center’s website shows it was hacked by Anonymous (1) – The deface page left by Anonymous plays a video containing content that shows a message of support to Iranians (2) – Screenshots 3 and 4 show what is inside the database Forensic center’s database. (

JUST IN: In response to a violent police crackdown of protestors and censoring communications, #Anonymous launched #OpIran and have now hacked over 100 Iranian websites, including several belonging to the Iranian government. #

However, it is clear that the group is determined to continue its fight against what it sees as an oppressive regime.

If this happens, Elon Musk stays winning!

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen should give Elon Musk’s satellite Internet service Starlink clearance to operate in heavily sanctioned Iran as the country faces widespread protests, a bipartisan group of lawmakers said.

Musk “recently stated that SpaceX would seek a license to provide its satellite based Starlink Internet service to Iran,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Yellen. “

Musk called for the exemption in a tweet on Monday.

“Iranians are taking to the street demanding justice for Mahsa,” Malinowski said. “

We need to do our part to ensure that Iranians remain connected to the outside world.”

A Treasury spokesperson said the department already allows some services related to Internet communications, including those that use satellite terminals as Starlink does, and that it welcomes applications for specific licenses related to Internet freedom in Iran.

Specifically, the IRS summons seeks information about customers of SFOX, a cryptocurrency prime broker, who used banking services that M.Y. Safra Bank offered to SFOX customers engaged in cryptocurrency transactions.

As described further in the IRS’s petition in support of the summons, though taxpayers who transact in cryptocurrencies are required to report any associated profits and losses on their tax returns, the IRS’s experience has demonstrated significant tax compliance deficiencies relating to cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.

SFOX has partnered with M.Y. Safra to offer SFOX users access to cash-deposit bank accounts.

In this action, the district court granted the IRS permission to serve what is known as a John Doe summons on M.Y. Safra.

(0) don't whine to me, punk. i care plenty about art and artists, but not the illusion of ownership as regards masterpieces. no one has any qualms about reading the metamorphosis despite kafka's insistence to the contrary, frankly, your sanctimonious shriveled comment inspires only my contempt.

(2) Because we are on legal mist about legality and regulation.

We really aren't. It's just moronic luddites who don't understand technology acting as if we were, but that has as much relevance as the opinion of people who think that vaccines cause autism

(0) Btw, look at will Smith now. People are tired of the victim mentality. If something can paint your shit as good as you. Maybe your shit ain't that special.

(-1) This is a shit take lol.

(19) Greg Rutkowski was kind enough to share his brushes and techniques on Gumroad back in the day, so even if his name was removed from the prompt, artists have the means to emulate his style

(-1) This is not a good comparison. I mean Ronaldo can show you how to take a penalty and give you his shoes, you're not gonna become him. Also it would take years to learn the style even if you know the technique, compared to AI where millions can generate the same thing. If anyone thinks I'm wrong buy his gumroad and make a video with your newly acquired skill lol.

(23) People here hate artists way too much lol...

(2) I don't hate artists, I hate stupidity.

(0) I think it's envy.

(-3) It’s self entitlement. They got a toy and they don’t want it taken away, or, god forbid, made fair towards the people whose work is explored.

(39) Gonna go out on a limb here and say more people know of Greg Rutkowski's name than ever before. Also, actual prints of his art are going to be selling more, not less.

(71) Ah.. Exposure. Truly the favorite currency of any artist. /s

(35) Yeah, that's a pretty optimistic take. In reality, working illustrators and other folks making their living in the visual arts are pretty much screwed.

Even a year ago, my For You page was mostly stuff you could only see on TikTok, whether it was Vine refugees making comedy shorts or song memes like Here Comes The Boy.

Everything has the same warmed-over feel.

Of course, since it’s mostly content that has already blown up elsewhere, there’s usually something compelling about it.

Now that on-platform culture is being overwhelmed by viral arbitrage, and the actual content is getting closer to what you see on every other network.

Instead of a space for creation, it’s become a space for distribution That culture had ups and downs over the years, but by now, it’s hard to find anything that looks like a unique Instagram aesthetic.

There are also social networks that went too far in the other direction: culturally vibrant platforms like Vine or Tumblr that face existential financial problems because they simply can’t make the network effects pay off.

You will never be a real Lain. You have no niche, you have no wires. You are a modern gooner man twisted by energy drinks and cyberpunk culture into a crude mockery of technology's perfection.

All the "elitism" you feel is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people hate you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your ""lainbros"" laugh at your nerdy appearance behind closed doors.

Electrical engineers are utterly repulsed by you. Hundreds of years of electrical studies and all you see is a cartoon girl. All the STEM programs refused to accept you because you're an alcoholic mitwit. Direct power formulas and sine waves fly over your head, just like the rest of the basic algebra you refused to care about in school. And even if you get a depressed underage girl home with you, she'll laugh at your existance to find out you just sit on the internet all day. Your shitty Neocities webpage made with day 3 web development skills because "the web is bad anyway" just so you can think you're cool for using Monospaced fonts.

You'll will never be happy. You fake your depression into a spiraling mist to fit in with your other "laincels" and tell yourself that you'll never seem to understand, but deep inside you know you couldn't write a turing machine in Regex. Your brain is wired to short-term dopamine rushes with weed. You'll sit in a corner and cry while listening to Goreshit and Tokyopill on (((Spotify))) forgetting about what a Flac file even is.

Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll become a normie, get a job, find a girlfriend and wageslave into the cold abyss. You don't even know Common Lisp, you sit and siphon the Python courses from High school and Google random things on the internet in an attempt to make basic Python software. You have no clue how to get started without thinking of your dumb niche anime girl to motivate you. You hang around in IRC even though you dread for those sweet Emoji reactions and images in Groomercord and pretend you have nostalgia for IRC like a bumbling zoomer. You shit on operating systems and standards without understanding an inch of the pain developers go through to develop such things and standardize them, you probably don't even know what a DBus is yet you pretend you hate it, just to fit in. You think Lisp is the most powerful programming language and you won't even write a practical piece of software in it. You'll waste all your money on VPS's self-hosting Pleroma written by other laincels.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Most of the companies participating in a four-day workweek pilot program in Britain said they had seen no loss of productivity during the experiment, and in some cases had seen a significant improvement, according to a survey of participants published on Wednesday.

Critics, however, worried about added costs and reduced competitiveness, especially when many European companies are already lagging rivals in other regions.

Jo Burns-Russell, the managing director at Amplitude Media, a marketing agency in Northampton, England, said the four-day workweek had been such a success that the 12-person company hoped to be able to make it permanent.

The result has been that the company is delivering the same volume of work and is still growing, even though half of the employees are off on Wednesdays and half on Fridays.

“It’s definitely been good for me in terms of making me not ping from thing to thing to thing all the time,” Ms. Burns-Russell said.

She has taken up painting as a hobby and feels calmer overall.

Google suffered a significant loss Wednesday when a European court denied its appeal of an antitrust decision and issued a fine of 4.1 billion euro ($4.13 billion), a record penalty.

Driving the news: Google had challenged an earlier EU ruling that said it used its Android mobile operating system to stymie rivals, but Europe's second-highest court upheld it.

Why it matters: The hefty fine and ruling is a win for top EU antitrust official Margrethe Vestager, who has aggressively prosecuted Big Tech companies, and could set a precedent for future European antitrust rulings covering tech giants.

What they're saying: "The General Court largely confirms the Commission's decision that Google imposed unlawful restrictions on manufacturers of Android mobile devices and mobile network operators in order to consolidate the dominant position of its search engine," the court said.

• The court did find in Google's favor on one point regarding revenue-sharing with mobile device makers and carriers and slightly reduced the penalty.

The other side: "We are disappointed that the Court did not annul the decision in full. Android has created more choice for everyone, not less, and supports thousands of successful businesses in Europe and around the world," a Google spokesperson said in a statement.

Flashback: This is Google's third EU antitrust fine. Previously, the search giant was fined in a shopping case and an online advertising case.

The big picture: The company is also facing a slew of antitrust suits and inquiries in the U.S.

• A judge Tuesday allowed a lawsuit to move forward against Google that was brought by 16 states and territories, led by Texas, over its advertising technology.

What's next: Google can appeal the ruling to the EU Court of Justice, Europe's highest court.

Anything to take the crumbling Meta empire down.

https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/xl0ba5/meta_sued_over_tracking_iphone_users_despite/

Generated from TLDR This:

Meta is facing a new proposed class action lawsuit that accuses it of tracking and collecting the personal data of iPhone users, despite features and policies made by Apple which are meant to stop that same type of tracking.

In August, it was revealed that with the Facebook and Instagram apps, Meta can track all of a user's key taps, keyboard inputs, and more, when using the in-app browser.

In most apps on the ‌iPhone‌, developers use Apple's Safari to open links within their apps.

Meta claimed in a full-page newspaper ad that Apple was hurting the ability of small businesses to grow, since if users opt-out of tracking, they're less likely to see ads personalized and recommended for them.

Update: A Meta spokesperson has provided MacRumors with the following statement:

These allegations are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously. We have designed our in-app browser to respect users' privacy choices, including how data may be used for ads.

oh man, that's horrible! anyways here's "very angry artist, award winning, trending on art station, very detailed, greg rutkowski"
