Because a carrier's data on you is not your person or belongings. The companies holding this data are selling access to it, so it's not being searched, it's being offered.
In other words, the same reason as why they don't need a search warrant if there's a breaking and the business across the street volunteers their security camera footage, even if you're on that footage.
instead of blocking advertising data, we should embrace it IMO.
imagine a world where users shove so much information at these tools that they can't even tell what's real or not. camouflage works better when everyone participates.
There's an ad blocker that does exactly this. Called Ad Nauseam. Chrome blocked it from their store super fast, then blocked it from being installed in Chrome from 3rd party sites, then blocked known versions of it from being manually installed in developer mode. I used to run it set to a low percentage - if I "clicked" every ad they'd know to throw my data out, but if I click say 3% of them...
To be fair, we achieved flight by copying nature. Once we realized the important part was the shape of a wing more than the flapping.
That's easy - they'd come to Lemmy and become Lemmy mods to achieve the same thing.
I can top it - my first desktop PC was an Epson. Come to think of it, my first printer was an Epson dot matrix. Loud as fuck but it was a good little workhorse.
They are. They just aren't the only one.
With the introduction of protected mode it became possible for programs to run in isolated memory spaces where they are unable to impact other programs running on the same CPU. These programs were said to be running “in a jail” that limited their access to the rest of the computer. A software exploit that allowed a program running inside the “jail” to gain root access / run code outside of protected mode was a “jailbreak”.
I still miss the narrow window in which you could make use of paging without technically being in protected mode. Basically there was like one revision of the 386 where you could set the paging bit but not protected mode and remain in real mode but with access to paging meaning you got access to paging without the additional processor overhead of protected mode. Not terribly useful since it was removed in short order, but neat to know about. Kinda like how there were a few instructions that had multiple opcodes and there was one commercially distributed assembler that used the alternative opcodes as a way to identify code assembled by it. Or POP CS - easily the most useless 80086 instruction, so useless that the opcode for it got repurposed in the next x86 processor.
Ironically given their skillset, training an ML model on known and properly tagged AI generated and non-AI-generated stuff might actually work.
The idea is that Spain and Portugal are part of the "West", but not Spanish or Portuguese colonial offshoots, which are mostly South American and haven't fared as well as the colonial offshoots from other nations of western Europe.
They care about companies they have less control over and a foreign adversary has more control over invading privacy, for reasons unrelated to seeing privacy as a good in itself.
The only times I've had it be remotely helpful is when you want something specific that's going to appear near the top of search results and is also likely to be buried in a bunch of irrelevant faff. Which is to say that occasionally "search for X and summarize the top result" is a useful tool but not often enough for them to front and center it like they do.
For example recipes. You can't copyright a recipe, so recipes tend to be buried in a lot of crap that isn't the actual recipe.
Are they? It literally points out "Who you voted for is secret" on the ad, right above where it says that people will know if you voted.
