  • Give Us Your Face or Lose Your Account: AI Age Verification Is Here, and Experts Are Worried

  • Then I'll lose my account.

    You know, using privacy-first services, de-googling and self-hosting has really insulated me from a lot of the Internet problems. Cloudflare went down? Didn't notice. AWS crashed? I'm using co-location and local hosting. Microsoft decided to put AI in Windows and turn the telemetry to 11? I'm using Linux (Arch, btw).

    If I don't give my ID to them, then I lose nothing. What services are they offering in exchange? Social media full of bots and toxic political propaganda. Streaming sites which are fragmented, expensive and enshittified.

    I'm just not seeing the value offer that they're providing.

  • Probably a dumb question, but: do I need to do anything to my media drive when swapping from Windows?

  • The same thing that stops people from getting access to your domain registration and changing the IP. You have a contract with your provider (ISP or DNS) which says that you own that IP/Hostname.

    Your home IP address changes, but most business or commercial accounts are given a static IP address (or blocks of IP addresses) which never changes.

  • The rational response is to read and understand comments before letting outage compel you to say something ignorant. A lesson that both you and the tweet writer should learn.

    I agree that this situation is outrageous, and that Megan Kelley is disingenuously trying to create cover for Trump. Nothing I wrote says anything otherwise.

    You're doing this ignorant thing that chronically online people do where they assume that any kind of disagreement automatically means that the person is on the other 'side' of the issue. Instead of actually responding to what I've said, you've created a strawman in your head that believes something outrageous and are attacking that strawman instead of what I've said.

    And, to demonstrate the complexity of the real world, I can say all of that about you while also agreeing with you that Trump is a pedophile.

  • Really is simple

    Jump

  • I agree with the underlying sentiment.

    However, this seems like one of those comments that’s going for outrage over rationality.

    I disagree that it matters, but the point of the controversial statement was that there’s a different term and level level of moral culpability between a person having sex with a 17 year old and the same person raping a 2 year old.

    A tweet responding that they’re both illegal misses the point completely.

    Genocide is illegal and jaywalking is illegal. We don’t equate them morally just because they are both illegal.

    Just like how a person who rapes an infant isn’t morally equivalent to a person having sex with high schoolers even if it’s illegal to do both in your state/country.

    Sure, let's just say the guy was overzealous with the (silicone caulk? lol) adhesive compound. Maybe the white cord is DC power, replacing the battery... but the red wire that's right beside the 'power' wire is a USB cable plugged into the phone's USB port.

  • Screenshot protection doesn't protect you from the system seeing your screen. They're running software with kernel-level access to your system, anything that they want is available to them.

    As to what they do with this level of access, I could only speculate.

  • I am so glad that the military… let me check my notes… ah, yes. Waited to see who would win.

    Are you a high schooler that just learned that being cynical will make you sound smarter among peers who don’t have the knowledge to challenge you?

    Explain what should have happened in that scenario in your view.

    Which person in the military has the authority to unilaterally deploy US Military personnel for the purposes of domestic law enforcement?

    What authority allows them to ignore the Posse Comitatus Act, which explicitly does not allow the use of the Military for domestic law enforcement?

    Or, if you want to go after the NG service members, what should they do as individuals in your mind? Should they refuse to leave their barracks? Maybe go to their commanding officer and ask to be arrested? What specific thing?

    You’re throwing a lot of stones and summoning hypotheticals without any apparent understanding of how the military functions.

  • 'Absolutely Pathetic': Senate Democrats Denounced for Caving to GOP in Shutdown Fight | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • This is exactly why they caved.

    Democrats are primarily backed by big money donors. Their constituents are billionaires too, just a different set of billionaires than Republicans’ constituents.

    There isn’t a party that represents the people, just two different factions of billionaires who are fighting over their share of control over the government.
