@simonzerafa @sarahjamielewis As a side note, "just being illegal" isn't the only other option. Fighting back is also an option. Telling them that this can't be legally implemented is an option. Hiring lawyers (fund-raising first if need be, but likely EFF/etc will take it) is an option.

Rushing to comply in advance is intentionally and willfully making a decision to circumnavigate what is best for users because it's what they want (and I might add here that "they" is actually a very small handful of people who are just pushing it through and ignoring/deflecting arguments. Oh, and Claude apparently.)

One thing I'd really like to be clear on is that in complying in advance with that law in one specific area, they're probably breaking a lot of other laws everywhere else.

@draeath @ln @sunpig I think wifi is using frequency modulation and amplitude modulation.

So I would argue it's not flashing in that sense. It's more changing color and getting dimmer on incredibly fast speeds. But, yes light seams so simple and yet our understanding of reality is falling apart, once we think about it a little longer.

@ln @sunpig it really is mind-bending to think about how radiated heat, radio, etc are all just light. It all does the same things - reflects, refracts, etc. It just does it at different scales.

Your wifi router's antennas are like glow sticks, flashing complex patterns at stupidly fast rates, for example, and that "light" is interacting with everything around it!
