Something somewhere will have to check your actual ID. There are no magical miracles. I certainly don’t trust gov IT infrastructure. It’s a convoluted patchwork built over the years with varying degrees of incompetence and corruption.

Sadly, I want to sign a “No verification whatsoever, fuck off with your shit, you don’t fool me” not a “p-p-p-please atleast pretend to make it less distopian”

Finally someone used it as intended!

This is so precious when I’m bombarded with ISP ads that became more like propaganda shorts on warm and fuzzy family life or life events and how they’re always there for us.

Household wants internet contract. Contacts ISP. ISP asks “are there children?”, if yes, provide router with parental controls by default (literally just configured with adguard dns server with blocks to porn and other nasty sites). Fully configurable to appease the “this is censorship” crowd. Would also immediatly null phishing and other scam attempts. Why is this so hard.

Hope your partner gets the help they need and manage it.

No, not exactly like.

Linux: any distro not implementing age verification becomes illegal

Searx: search engines already implement captchas and ridiculous rate limits.

Fediverse: inconvenient node operators can be categorized as terrorists, like the italian anarchists who were providing web services.

Signal will just buzz off countries implementing backdoors. Until it’s not put next to Encrochat. Same with GrapheneOS.

US already banned routers. Those should be entirely provided by ISPs only at some point.

the cyclist punched first.

like nitter and xcancel got a musky cease and desist letter and they promptly closed the service and the repository.

If any corporation decides any software is hurting their bottom line, anything is fair game to them.

All just one puny little squeaky C&D letter away from shutdown apparently, probably.

platforms used to want more users and traffic. we are really in retarded timeline

LMAO

nobody that matters

oh no, labeled by a shitposter. how can I ever recover

That’s right. “Members of the armed forces” not the armed forces per se. Cops also buy stuff out of their own pocket right? I go to the same stores to buy stuff too. We’re all civilians there. What we do with the things we buy is not the store’s business. I just don’t think the case has a leg to stand on, in court. Russia will just say they have nothing to do with it, if there’s no proof.

Well “if Russia does it, so can we” really turns this into an even worse quagmire huh? I’m not in denial of the reality of war, but I won’t be supporting any side of the same atrocity. I have nothing but disdain for anyone who enlists.

Still that’s kinda weak argument. Those items are bought privately? So it’s not used as legit military command IT infrastructure like amazon aws or microsoft? I’m sure it will be different in the international courts, if they had any teeth. How could Ukraine ever justify “selling helmets and first aid kits to civilians” as a legitimate target…

oh look, a scanning method that doesn’t destroy the books. Surely it’s science fiction.

sure bud

Yeah I think that’s the point. Just to make sure. It already is majority bot traffic. These tech billionaires don’t care what we think or know. They’re destroying the books. They control the context and manufacture the consent.

pedestrains should also wear helmets of course. At least some should
