you sure can 3d print a gun in denmark, but youd still be the owner of an illegal gun unless you have a permit.

for reference, danish law requires permits for several types of weapons, principally "Skydevåben samt genstande, der fremtræder som skydevåben og som følge af konstruktionen eller det anvendte materiale kan ombygges hertil", that is shooting weapons, including objects similar to shooting weapons which by their construction or materials can be converted to such

clearly that covers a any gun even if it wasnt made by internationally recognized arms dealers

e: also probably illegal to manufacture guns without a license, whether for personal use or not

It’s really silly that America regulates gun parts like lower receivers that can be made from plastic or old shovels.

Regulate pressure-bearing components and/or ammunition. Those are the hard things to make in a garage.

It's not illegal to make one in your garage in America. In 47 states you could just make guns as a weekend hobby and the law doesn't give a poo poo, and anyway it's trivial to buy a real one no questions asked if you want it to actually work. 3D printed guns are just Anarchist's Cookbook bullshit for people who imagine that hypothetically being able to make napalm from orange juice makes them a daring freedom fighter.

maybe regulate "things that fire bullets" or "shooting weapons" or "projectile-ejecting apparati" instead of the circumventable components legalese ya know

regulating ammo makes sense tho

For future reference, the paywall avoidance mechanism for the Washington Post is disabling JavaScript on the individual page in Chrome

Telling people to use Chrome in the dystopia thread is real hosed up.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/11/google-chromes-users-take-back-seat-its-bottom-line

quote:

Google Chrome is the most popular browser in the world. Chrome routinely leads the pack in features for security and usability, most recently helping to drive the adoption of HTTPS. But when it comes to privacy, specifically protecting users from tracking, most of its rivals leave it in the dust.

Users are more aware of, and concerned about, the harms of pervasive tracking than ever before. So why is Chrome so far behind? It’s because Google still makes most of its money from tracker-driven, behaviorally-targeted ads. The marginal benefit of each additional bit of information about your activities online is relatively small to an advertiser, especially given how much you directly give Google through your searches and use of tools like Google Home. But Google still builds Chrome as if it needs to vacuum up everything it can about your online activities, whether you want it to or not.

In the documents that define how the Web works, a browser is called a user agent. It’s supposed to be the thing that acts on your behalf in cyberspace. If the massive data collection appetite of Google’s advertising- and tracking-based business model are incentivizing Chrome to act in Google’s best interest instead of yours, that’s a big problem—one that consumers and regulators should not ignore.

...

Conflicts of Interest

Google is the biggest browser company in the world. It’s also the biggest search engine, mobile operating system, video host, and email service. But most importantly, it’s the biggest server of digital ads. Google controls 42% of the digital advertising market, significantly more than Facebook, its largest rival, and vastly more than anyone else. Its tracking codes appear on three quarters of the top million sites on the web. 86% of Alphabet’s revenue (Google’s parent company) comes from advertising. That means all of Alphabet has a vested interest in helping track people and serve them ads, even when that puts the company at odds with its users.

And 2020:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/02/20/google-chrome-80-upgrade-deep-linking-update-chrome-browser/

quote:

Chrome 80 (check your version by going to Settings > About Chrome) contains a new browser capability called ScrollToTextFragment. This is deep linking technology tied to website text, but multiple sources have revealed it is a potentially invasive privacy nightmare.

To understand why requires a brief guide to how ScrollToTextFragment works. The simple version is it allows Google to index websites and share links down to a single word of text and its position on the page. It does this by creating its own anchors to text (using the format: #:~:text=[prefix-,]textStart[,textEnd][,-suffix]) and it doesn’t require the permission of the web page author to do so. Google gives the harmless example:

“[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#:~:text=On islands, birds can contribute as much as 60% of a cat's diet] This loads the page for Cat, highlights the specified text, and scrolls directly to it.”

The deep linking freedom of ScrollToTextFragment can be very useful for sharing very specific links to parts of webpages. The problem is it can also be exploited. Warning about the development of ScrollToTextFragment in December, Peter Snyder, a privacy researcher at Brave Browser explained:

"Consider a situation where I can view DNS traffic (e.g. company network), and I send a link to the company health portal, with [the anchor] #:~:text=cancer. On certain page layouts, I might be able [to] tell if the employee has cancer by looking for lower-on-the-page resources being requested.”

And it was Snyder who spotted that ScrollToTextFragment is now active inside Chrome 80 stating that "Imposing privacy and security leaks to existing sites (many of which will never be updated) REALLY should be a 'don't break the web’, never-cross, redline. This spec does that."

And the usual Google: "gently caress you and take it bitch"

quote:

Defending the decision, Google’s engineers have issued a document outlining the pros/cons of the deep linking technology in ScrollToTextFragment and Chromium engineer David Bokan wrote this week that “We discussed this and other issues with our security team and, to summarize, we understand the issue but disagree on the severity so we're proceeding with allowing this without requiring opt-in.”
