  • GOP goaded Jasmine Crockett into running for senate by promoting favorable polls: Report

    Jump

  • I see that https://www.trackaipac.com/ says she's pro-Israel, but even they don't indicate she's received any money. I'm just saying if there's no proof that she's taken AIPAC money then stop using that as a talking point against her. Use her voting record and statements, things that are verifiable.

  • you learn more by having to read a whole page to find a sentence and then write your full sentence answer by hand than you do by hitting ctrl-f, ctrl-c, ctrl-v on the keyboard. You miss out on the surrounding contextual information.

  • Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site

    Jump

  • If it's open source it can be verified that it's not storing the data.

    And I 100% agree that software scanning an ID is an overall bad way to verify. With a CC# validation at least that shows up on my statement, but if my kid is sneaky enough to get mine out of my wallet I have no way of knowing.

  • I feel like #1 and #2 are problems whether its client side or server side. As for #3 I would lean in the direction of there being a one-time check with no persistent knowledge. Like when you flash your ID to the bartender to order a drink. A client app that scans the ID and returns the answer to the requestor.

    But I don't think there is any way to reliably implement this sort of thing. I think it should really just be left to parental control and monitoring.

  • Some kind of cryptographic signing of the executable could probably help with that.

    Ultimately I don't believe there can ever be a foolproof solution and the emphasis should be on client-side parental controls.

  • This goes in a better direction than web sites doing it themselves, I think. The government put out an open source tool that runs locally and the browser just gets a yay/nay return code from it.

  • AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year

    Jump

  • I just bought a few WD drives direct, but their web site has a problem with validating virtual credit card numbers. I'm the few days it took to resolve it the price went up. Fortunately since I had the support ticket I was able to get refunded the difference.

  • I guess you're not thinking of "locked down" in terms of independent developers finding the iOS and Android "play by our rules and be distributed thru our app store or we'll make it hard for users to run your software" to be a barrier to distribution.

    Jump

  • I was referring to this

    If this technology is successful, the end result could be that we would see our Linux laptops one day being as locked down as an Iphone or Android device.

  • Because if there's one thing Linux users think about their systems .. it's "hey why does this thing let me do what I want?"
