How the fuck does this protect kids? Adjusting graphics settings? Why not bar them from adjusting volume while they’re at it.
To be clear this image is faked.
wow, wow there. no loud music after 8. If the nightstand mic doesn’t pick up the nightly potus prayer, your front door is getting bust open
You are in violation of the Community Guidelines due to not marking the comment “NSFW”.
Of course we are not going to tell you why, but you get 1 strike./s
You can download the Nvidia driver directly from their website
People who care about privacy wouldn’t use the Nvidia app. (And wouldn’t be on Windows)
The funniest thing about proprietary nvidia drivers on linux is that they’re still easier to install than using the GeForce app lmao.
dnf install akmod-nvidia
No sign in to a fat game launcher ad ridden app to upgrade your GPU driver
They are denying us the power of the digital age, taking it for themselves.
Lol good luck, the entire thing that makes it so powerful is the collective
I don’t use that shitty application. Just use Nvidia Inspector and Nvidia Control Panel. That application is data collection spyware.
This is why I am AMD fanboy
This is why I wish I was AMD fanboy :((
NVCleanInstall lets you install NVidia drivers without using their GeForce Experience software
So it sounds like the wall was written to police more than just porn sites? Or is this companies doing this to harvest your data?
It’s to prevent autonomous agency. It’s to prevent people from having privacy and individuality end of discussion. The last system like this was under the gestapo and secret police under Hitlers regime.
Zoomers can’t be bothered to spell Nvidia correctly. I wouldn’t let ‘em install my drivers either 🥲
lol
Reminder that there is a petition for UK residents, now with 500 000 signatures: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
Reminder that they already responded
The Government has no plans to repeal the Online Safety Act, and is working closely with Ofcom to implement the Act as quickly and effectively as possible
Doesn’t stop us from continuing to push. Since they responded we got 300 000 more signatures.
doesnt matter. they only understand money or force.
Wouldn’t it be sick if y’all just responded on voting day?
Here’s the pitch: Do you want to prevent horrible nonsense shit from happening? Do you like money? Are you okay with people in general? Fucking vote.
You do realise that Labour were voted in as the progressive alternative on a bunch of pretty progressive campaign pledges right? The Online Safety Act and treating peaceful protesters as terrorists certainly weren’t what people voted for.
I do not realize that, I’m not from there nor do I pay attention to their politics. This was more so a call to everyone everywhere to show up at whatever booth it may be and prevent shitty policies from being considered, let alone passed.
That said, I do appreciate the info, and moreso appreciate that you archived it and linked a paywall free version. That was thoughtful.
To translate it to American, it’s a similar two party system as yours, and the UK Dems are the ones doing this.
Yeah unfortunately one vote every 4 or 5 years is not enough granularity to weigh in on specific issues. Also, politicians lie about what they will do all the time.
Showing that a large amount of people are against an action, whether by petition or protest, is one of the tools we do have.
This particular piece of legislation has been in the works for two administrations of two different parties. We’re kind of sick of both of them so I think many people will likely vote for a 3rd party the next time around. Possibly the more progressive splinter group of our 'left" party.
I hope you’re right. But in my experience, every country ends up voting for 1 of the 2 largest parties because “that other party will not get even 5%” and the whole population ends up disregarding them. And this is by design.
Honestly, I pray that you’re right and the UK people actually tells the main parties to fuck right off.
Your voting chose have already been scientifically proven to be meaningless, democracy is fake.
The game has been rigged.
Voting exists to stop you changing things.
It makes you believed you solved the problem
when you’ve actually accomplished nothing yetThe voting is game is lost before it began
with psychometric micro demographic targetting
they can convert money into votes with simple manipulation
it’s just a matter of which money interest push more
on their preferred optionbut neither of the two choices is on your side
None of the choices in democracy are working for you
So main issue with this comment is the UK system allows for more than 2 choices.
Yes there are many choices, very similar degrees of ultimately the same thing. Same thing here in Canada.
Often it’s the business elite party and the “business elite but pretending to care about the people’s interest party” and that second one is also split so the straight up business elite party has a chance to win. Followed by series of do-nothing statistically insignificant, flavour-text parties just for the impression of diversity. It’s all a little circus to give you the idea the population is in control while being completely out of the equation. It only really serves to dissipate their frustration and make them believe they’ve already done everything they could so we don’t get guillotines in the streets.
Make no mistake Fukuyama is right, this IS the end of history, there will not be any democratically elected changes unless the powerful decide change is in their interest and will maintain or increase their power.
Nothing will change until the power is physically taken away from them and history restarts.
Point is, this law was not created in service of the public. It’s just another surveillance measure. Much like Chat Control, which they’ve pushed over and over again, despite getting pushback from literally everyone around the world every time. You could have everyone in the EU sign that petition and it wouldn’t matter because it’s not for you.
A huge petition that undermines the government’s democratic mandate is never a bad thing, even if they responded.
Ok but they should still attempt every avenue no?
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
You don’t need Linux, you just need to get the driver from Nvidia’s website.
If they can’t figure this out, they really don’t belong on Linux.
You’d have the same issue with this on Linux, no? It isn’t OS-specific.
EDIT: I meant in general. Software on Linux is also subject to the UKs temper tantrum laws, same as on Windows. The Nvidia driver is just an example, you can also just download the driver on Windows without needing their companion app.
The official proprietary Nvidia drivers are just a regular Linux package I’m 99% sure, I have it installed on my laptop and it doesn’t involve a gui app at all.
There is the Nvidia X Server Settings app but it’s pretty barebones
Not really it is full featured under X under Wayland some of the features are replaced by your desktops features exclusively
In Linux you can use the open source nvidia drivers if you want
The key thing is Linux is free and open source, free as In eat shit and fucking die government fucking pigs.
aka: the only kind of freedom that matters. lol
No you would not because you don’t need to go to the website to download software to use Nvidia on Linux. Also the Nvidia driver on Linux is literally just a driver and settings package it has no online features
I’m not aware that the Nvidia drivers for Linux require an app registration. If that were the case, I’d definitely have heard about the uproar.
Nuh uh uh!
You again???! 😡😤👊🖕🖕🖕
Is this a joke?
The UK? Yes
UKKK.
This timeline? Yes
You mean the censorship law was woefully ill-conceived and won’t do anything they claim it is supposed to do? Leay it’s definitely a joke, just not the type you’re asking about.
Yes. It’s not clear if this was photoshopped or a bug that has been around for years, I believe related to GeForce NOW streaming. The two clients share some code, and GeForce NOW does have an age requirement.

Do you see anyone laughing? Well? Do you?? 🧐
🥺
I’m laughing constantly because I’m losing my mind! Haha!
sorry to break this to you, but zoomers are all adults now

From Alpha to Beta in No Time Flat: Consequences of the Online Safety Act
These delineations are quite silly especially when used in a derogatory way. But if one plays that game, there are still “zoomers” who are minors.
Those are probably only on mobile so their knowledge of navigating a PC is probably worse than a boomer and don’t even understand the concept of folders and files.
I personally know several in that age group (minor zoomers) who game on Windows and Linux.
There’s always going to be exceptions among those with a more natural tech based interest, but it used to be that everyone was exposed to using a desktop and not something that someone had to individually go out of their way to learn.
This article all day way from back in 2021 showed professors having to rethink how to teach the basics, since now skills that were expected to be known were starting to not be common knowledge.
Gradually, Garland came to the same realization that many of her fellow educators have reached in the past four years: the concept of file folders and directories, essential to previous generations’ understanding of computers, is gibberish to many modern students.
https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z
So yeah people who are more interested in PC gaming, streaming, and even pirating are more likely to find resources to be self taught. But, the regular people who are increasingly growing up only using phones as their computing device aren’t doing the same until forced to.
