You’re talking about a collective “they” and the ultimate result of a whole bunch of slippery slope bullshit.

Again, that isn’t at all what it being talked about here. You’re making up a fictitious thing to be mad at.

Never used the tool but you just reminded me of my childhood, eating runny yolk out of a boiled egg for breakfast.

What is being talked about isn’t telling websites anything. You are fundamentally misunderstanding what the change even did.

Where the hell is this FUD coming from? No one is talking about broadcasting the fake age someone puts into this field. Your strawman doesn’t even make sense.

No, see, she’s no longer a child so she doesn’t matter. /s

Don’t use a chromium browser, from the looks of it.

Eh, I can see how that might work under EU law. So I suppose there’s a potential for it to be illegal in the EU then.

Though I do question the extent that could reach, since “left leaning lesbians looking for work only browser” could be the user agent if someone was so inclined. Admittedly though, that’s outside the scope of this argument.

Oh, browser extensions. And specifically on chromium browsers.

Yeah, that makes much more sense than “any installed software”. It also throws out their claim of this being illegal. Using a browser API endpoint to say “hey do you have this extension” isn’t illegal, at least in most countries.

Is this shitty behavior? Yes. Is this anywhere near what their clickbait title and honestly clickbait article claim? Not in the slightest.

I’m sorry, how exactly is a website searching my computer from within a locked down browser?

I believe that number is at least 14 survivals now?

While yes, you get out of the ticket if you prove the sign was missing at the time of the infraction.

Edit: Just don’t give them any attitude or they’ll arrest you for resisting arrest.

Talk to the ai, waste their credits.

Likely nothing illegal. Quite a bit of bad dev habits. Some concerning security fuck ups, including pulling in JavaScript from a server they don’t control. Injecting JavaScript to subvert cookie/gdpr/login/etc popups on third party sites.

Just generally bad things to do, especially in a government provided app.

“Have you said thank you once?”

I assume it’s an hourly wage or something. Just because humans can work for free if they choose, doesn’t mean they have no cost associated with them. Just like a company could choose to give away unlimited tokens, those tokens still have a standard cost.

These tools are notoriously bad at determining what is AI generated. Hell, just look at that spread; anywhere between 0% and 60% depending on the tool you use. How is that at all useful information?

Bilbo Baggins

Ah I see the confusion. That said their name was Bimbo Baggins. Different Baggins completely.

My point was that adding another optional field asking for DOB is just as “scary” as the optional fields asking for real name and location. It doesn’t need them, which was what the other user was alluding to.

ETA: I’m using “scary” but I realize it’s being demonized in a number of ways, such as “evil” or “giving an inch” or “giving into pressure” or “eroding privacy”, etc.

<.< Your answer makes no sense.
