Yeah, I would absolutely take issue with the head of a government institution saying something like that. That is a bonkers thing to say as a public official and should invoke some kind of mental health check.
I’m aware Hegseth is just posturing for brownie points with this Scouts thing, but this kind of behavior should not be normalized. I still remember when Howard Dean lost his bid to be a presidential candidate because he got too excited during a speech.
There should be no need for this to exist. The internet has been around for long enough without age verification that it doesn’t need to be added now.
That being said, this is the lesser of the two evils, I think. If your age data exists at the device-level and can send an authorization to a service that says “This user is an adult” without needing to send them any additional identification, that would be better than needing to trust some nebulous cloud service with identifiable information tying your personal identity to your online habits.

The whole idea is that it makes it impossible to start if the chain of trust is broken.

so for this example, I would search “9 (2009)”
A paypal alternative needs to be accepted in most places for it to be viable.
Basically the only thing that meets that criteria is a credit card. And even then, you’re almost limited to Visa and MasterCard as the others aren’t always accepted.
These ripping tools can be used to convert YouTube music videos into MP3s for example. This is seen as a major problem by the music industry, which has and is taking legal steps in response.
You used to be able to record radio or TV broadcasts with zero consequence. The DMCA, from it’s inception through to it’s implementation has caused nothing but problems if you aren’t a studio executive
Reaction youtube is the lowest common denominator for stuff like this, but if this ruling succeeds, that will be a pretty big problem for the ecosystem as a whole.
Setting a precedent where it is punishable to show part of another video in your own without getting permission for it will make the platform far more restrictive, especially for content that offers valuable critique. Having to actually argue fair use for publicly available content is a step backwards for everyone, even if it means there will be less low-value content out there.

I think he probably believes this too, but even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t say otherwise as that would cause a huge panic.
A headline that reads to the effect of “Mark Carney believes that Canadian sovereignty is at risk from the US” would cause nothing but problems for us.
unless you’re a sysadmin or a power user, no, not really.
I get what you’re saying, but it’s not really true.
If the only program you run is a web browser, then you’re probably right, but only because Linux expects you to know how to use your computer and install updates yourself.
Linux has achieved a very stable OS that offers a very granular experience, which is great if you know what you’re doing, but if you don’t, it’s pretty arcane. The ability to configure everything on your system exactly how you want it to run is a double edged sword.
If you want anything beyond what is offered out of the box, you’ll need to interact with the terminal at some point, which is a pretty steep learning curve for the average user.
