You kid but it literally starts this way. Imagine if someone like Paul McCartney says, “I’m moving over to mastodon and you should too.”
He starts to share exclusive content there, sharing videos on loops…
People will stop going to other places.
But the content has to come first.
As a technologist, I have to remind everyone that AI is not intelligence. It’s a word prediction/statistical machine. It’s guessing at a surprisingly good rate what words follow the words before it.
It’s math. All the way down.
We as humans have simply taken these words and have said that it is “intelligence”.
The problem with “age” verification is that politicians are confusing it with identity verification.
I should not have to prove my name and other biometrics to prove age.
Age verification is the fascist way to get people to identify themselves and their online activity. Almost every state that has some sort of age verification law has zero method to actually verify age. No digital ID service, no way to share a credential for verification.
They want people to upload an ID.
This isn’t about keeping children safe and it never is. It’s about identifying critics of the government.
The same public libraries that vigorously defend the privacy of our reading lists
The Patriot act allows the feds to get the books you’ve checked out at your local library.
She said this as some sort of “gotcha”.
So before we miss the point here …
This behavior seems to be very similar to NFL stars and how they never wanted their kids to play football.
Everyone involved knows how dangerous social media/football is and many of them are in positions to actually do something about it. But because it benefits them personally, they won’t even rock the boat.
In a completely unrelated move, Ring will partner with a complete difference company that will pay 20% above what Flock was paying.
I wonder if removing the cameras is the best move.
It might be better to let them run but have them watching a TV streaming Disney movies.
Then drop the dime to Disney that they are copying their IP.
Oh this shit is still going on. There were people in the late 90s early 00s that were counting down the days when the Olsen twins would turn 18.
Would not surprise me one bit if there are websites dedicated other child celebrities.
You know what the difference is between a million dollars and a billion dollars?
A billion dollars.
Those who make $200k have more in common with people in poverty than people who are billionaires.
I make good money but I am not under any illusion that a bad accident or a medical issue will wipe out my savings in a heartbeat. Just because I can afford to go on vacation doesn’t mean that I don’t understand what it means to be “working class”.
I am working class and their ally. All you’re doing is intentionally creating a wedge between “well off” people and the poor instead of coalescing together to attack the actual capital class.
Just because they aren’t at the poverty line doesn’t mean that they aren’t working class. Unless they can live without working, they are the definition of working class.
Don’t get distracted by those who hoard wealth.

Yeah…even if you prevail in the circuit court, it’s getting overturned at SCOTUS.
They absolutely do but only to shit on them for not looking feminine enough.
My understanding is that if your community is not adult content and you aren’t on any adult servers, you won’t need to ID verify. But I suspect it’s only a matter of time before all accounts are required to verify.
If people didn’t leave Twitter when it became an unholy cestpool of alt-right propaganda, they have chosen to stay there because their audience is the alt-right.
And you absolutely know that if the snow did melt, conservatives would be blaming him for not making the snow stay.
LITERALLY in-group/out-group behavior
The DevOps way is to have them die at regular intervals in addition to other triggers and then rebuild on a regular cadence. Iirc correctly Netflix servers have a 12 hour TTL. Windscribe could easily do a 1-2 hour TTL with matching certs and encryption keys.
The biggest issue is that making a browser from scratch takes a lot of resources. It’s not cheap and takes a long time.
We essentially have Chrome and Firefox now. And Firefox is starting to enshitify.
We desperately need a third browser.
There is no way to prove definitively that the person using the credential is the same person using the Internet. Hell there’s barely enough of a way to prove that there is a human sitting behind your device.
This is why age/identify verification is pointless.
