The standards will not mandate perfect efficacy – they will allow for “an acceptably low level of evasion” against a bank of identified design files.

So they except this is basically an impossible task. Essentially they're just going to check that the algorithm can detect the test examples, and then anything beyond that is an acceptably low level of evasion apparently.

They just want to destroy open source firmware. They hate freedom from corporate control, not guns.

In the same way you can buy all the stuff to make a bomb without ending up on a list, but if you do it the stupid way you're going to get the SWAT team at your door.

The 3d printer firmware is bullshit outright IMO, but this seems like the most sober-minded attempt. NY's law on the other hand is a fat lol

Anyone who was a serious threat is by definition not going to do it the stupid way anybody who gets swatted is an idiot and probably wasn't a threat to begin with, except to themselves.

It's already illegal to shoot people so why is it more illegal to shoot people with a plastic gun?

[–] rmrf@lemmy.ml 2 points 18 hours ago

I agree, yet people get caught. This makes simply authorizes that, which I'm not inherently against. All I'm saying is, of all the things in the world, this isn't the absolute worst thing that could happen and at least it isn't (currently) being used by that state as a pretext for even more surveillance.

It isn't more illegal to shoot people with a plastic gun; if anything it's less illegal because you don't need to lie on a form about your status to obtain a gun.

I think your arguing with what you think I'm saying instead if what I actually said. I believe we're in agreement with different nuanced takes that affect that agreement. I agree this is dumb and a bad precedent that will likely be ineffective (just like virtually all other punitive preventative measures). I still think it could be worse.

TL; DR: this law to me feels more along the lines of "let's stop giving away guns at candy shops" than "let's completely fix everything all at once" It's sober minded and an attempt at appeasing their constituency. I disagree with it, but it could be worse and probably won't hurt.
