Even if you can’t reliably control it, if you make a tool that generates CSAM you’ve made a CSAM generator. You have a moral responsibility to either make your tool unavailable, or figure out how to control it.


I'm not sure I agree with this specific reasoning. Consider this, any given image viewer can display CSAM. Is it a CSAM viewer? Do you have a moral responsibility to make it refuse to display CSAM? We can extend it to anything from graphics APIs, to data storage, etc.

There's a line we have to define that I don't think really exists yet, nor is it supported by our current mental frameworks. To that end, I think it's just more sensible to simply forbid it in this context without attempting to ground it. I don't think there's any reason to rationalize it at all.


nope. anyone who wants to can create CSAM in MS Paint (or any quality of image editor). it's in no way difficult to do.

you going to ban all artsy software ever because a bad actor has or can use it to do bad actor things?


I recently bought a C5 and never connected it to the network. No issues so far.


This is my plan for beginning of new year (42" model), mixed games & desktop usage (I know oled ain't best for windows work but non-oled gaming monitors are rather crap ie due to non ideal local dimming, ghosting, mediocre colors compared to oled and so on).

Didnt plan on making it also a TV with internet connection, now I darn sure as hell won't.

Its really sad state of things that the best course of action now for new hardware is to simply use it as it is, never update or plug online since for any chance of any minor issue being fixed there is 100x the risk it will go to shit in substantial ways (I have Samsung q990d - they soundbar literally dying for good after an official update, but that one you had to at least push yourself from phone or via usb).

Not possible with everything, or at least not without substantial hacking for many.


Maybe it doesn't count but podman works great on WSL2 as far as I can tell.
