  • Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled

  • Politicians are humans, just like us (with MAYBE just a larger helping of narcism). They're also required to work within the law.

    I understand the reason I'm getting down votes. We're in a really really frustrating time. Lots of angry people (me too).

  • The underpaid clerk already sells booze and cigarettes.

    The age token would be free at the time of acquisition (paid by taxes of course).

    Yes, you'd get the "buy me a porn token please!" request behind the 7-11, but I'd bet it would be far less frequent than requests to buy booze.

  • I agree, children shouldn't be on tiktok or any of these kinds of platforms.

    And yes, it should be social pressure rather than legal pressure.

  • What I like about the convenience store idea, is that the certification process is decentralized. An app wouldn't be.

  • Remember that "they" (at least here in the US) are as varied in opinion as are we.

    The ones who have a sincere desire to protect children want them to have limited exposure to content online.

    My personal thought is children should generally not be engaging others online, but it should be a social push ("don't talk to strangers online" "don't allow your children to be unsupervised online" ).

    As for arresting child abusers, we seem to be in the habit of putting them in high office.

  • That's an interesting idea! Provides a level of abstraction, and maintains a semblance of privacy.

  • No reason it can't be both.

  • Editing PDFs contents

    Jump

  • I've found the best tool for carving up PDFs is xournal++. It does a better job at maintaining formatting than Draw as well.

  • Speed Dreams Nightly Builds downloads

    Jump

  • It was once known as TORCS, and several distributions had it available.

    It's quite complex to build now (physics engines, AI, etc), so I suppose many distros don't package it.

    Appimage should work fine. Just give it executable permission.

  • Cool! I've got the N100, and experience is similar. I'm trying to build up some motivation to use it daily for a while.

    Good on you for the development work, and congrats on you accepted pull!

  • (drama) Found myself stuck in a love triangle mess between two coworkers, what should I do?

  • There will be other Jane's that don't work where you work.

  • How much do you pay per month to avoid Google / Big Tech?

    Jump

  • I'm in the process. Right now about $13 a month for a VPS which hosts email, video / audio / text chat, nextcloud, gps tracking, and others.

    I need to do something about my android phone, and I'm looking at that too. I have a phone running ubports, but I'm scared to daily it just right now.

  • An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification

  • You're right. I had the same thought about the definition of "account".

  • I suspect support from European governments.

  • what did you all do if you were obsessed with your partner at one point?

    Jump

  • Obsession and jealousy are not healthy reactions to any relationship. Those are internal issues that need addressing.

    Find yourself another good therapist before engaging another relationship. You'll thank yourself.

    May good things find you.

  • I found my ideal reading app - Anx Reader [Review]

    Jump

  • Are you part of the development team?

    Anyway, if it's going to be "open", it should include a local AI far more prominently than corporate ones.

    Access to open libraries like the Gutenberg project as well.

    It looks nice. Maybe consider closing off the source and selling as a proprietary project?

  • I think Lemmy in general is very against AI. I'm rather new here, is it like a fediverse group thing or is this even based on reality?

  • I believe"Big AI" will collapse.

  • A tool becomes "good" or "bad" based on its implementation.

    The current trend towards massive unsustainable data centers is pretty objectively "bad" for humans and other creatures for questionable benefit.

    Localized AI, on the other hand, would be less harmful, and more useful. This would move the needle towards a more objective "good".
