would have to be really short distances or really high power levels at those frequencies…

that transmitter has got to be HOT

something, something, solar and wind for decades and no one smart enough to invest.

countries like Australia, the home owner produces the entire peak hour needs for their community. early and heavy adoption really made a huge difference there, but in the US people refused to invest into anything new (unless it was made by a techbro like apple) and have stagnated their own needs for decades. medical, electrical, transportation, water, sewage. every area of infrastructure in the US is borderline ancient and no one cares because “it works for now”…

good, now will they do the same to the people driving in California that have a network greater than 300k?

because otherwise this is pointless…

allowing Palantir and supporting ice was my cutoff… I had premium for years…

worse was how suddenly my playlists I listened to often, the songs started sounding different/wrong… turns out they were silent swapping them for AI cover versions…

surely this classified military work, won’t be civilian surveillance…

also sensibly built EVs. most modern EVs use liquid cooling around the batteries and sensors can detect temperatures too high or too low to engage pumps and heating elements to warm the fluid and prevent battery issues.

cooling stopped being a major issue a few years ago, in battery packs, the cells are cooled via liquid cooling automatically and kept in balance. efficiency calculations in warmer climates are generally better than combustion engines as the waste heat is vented off and in some cases even reused. while petrol and diesel engines compound heat, they require careful operation and often the spec is wrong for warm environments, risking overheating.

ms, google(android) and apple have already implemented this. it’s waiting to go live. there was a discussion about it quite a while ago.

that’s what this infrastructure is for. all of these bills are written with google/ms/apple accounts with subusers in mind.

California one doesn’t even have language to let adults have a user legally…

ultimately I think it’s apple/ms working with meta hoping to force people to use Thier software

I mean… it should be obvious that this would happen. google since 2024 has gone full on fascist-support.

your data, regardless of where you live in the world, is not safe from Google sharing it specifically with the US Govt. without due process and without any privacy oversight.

it’s not in question that they will comply, it’s in their best financial interest as they are a government contractor at 4 different levels, including military intelligence and weapons design…

trusting Google is at your own peril… but we are also in a point of time where options are even more limited due to the restrictions on email providers and platform dependence.

Better yet, vote/demand actual punishments for parents when their children chose to commit crimes as they don’t want to parent.

However this is not entirely true either, for two reasons.

1. Philosophical: FOSS relies on the “many eyes” approach to security. Adding any API, even internal adds another layer of risk. This is exactly why some projects refuse to have API access to application data, even if it runs from a privileged forked service. (Using locked sockets or other methods instead).

Any open port is a attack vector and no matter how secure it is today, tomorrow is not a promise. More so with how this overlaps with laws like Australia’s, which requires all encryption to provide a backdoor for government access. (This means the 5 eyes nations get access by definition to this API while it’s in transit, as soon as it leaves the host system…)

But that’s not just the only issue. The whole issue with libxz being targeted by nation state sabotage proved that, it’s possible to put backdoors into applications despite “many eyes” on the code. (That case was only caught because one obsessive person over the /testing/ speed… 90% of such attempts in most projects would go unnoticed simply as there is not enough maintainers)

2. Licensed software: not all applications are completely open, even if the underlying OS is. This is a API thats exposed to all userland applications. Nothing stops Firefox for example from using binary blobs in Thier source to “sign” this data for supporting websites, then send this data to places you don’t consent.

Firefox is just a example, so many applications use permissable licenses that don’t require all of the sourcecode to be human readable or even accessible.

Big thing is nothing stops driver vendors from stealing this data too, no different than Microsoft does, whether or not you are signed Into a Microsoft account on windows. Telemetry is already a growing issue and the scope of telemetry data in closed source blobs doesn’t have to be defined…

So by definition it’s not any more secure…

Even if it was, the bigger question is why. Why does the application or web service need to know.

If a child walks into a liquor store and steals alcohol, they get arrested. The burden of proof was never on the liquor store. Why is the burden of proof on the OS and not the parent or child.

We don’t need nanny software, that teaches kids to be better liars. We need stronger punishments for criminal actions, regardless of age and more importantly punishments for the parents for allowing it to occur. Babygating the entire OS for some one elses children that would never touch it, legally. Is a example of creating solutions for a problem YOU(parents/government) created.

All of these age laws came from the social media bans. These of which only came into existence as a means of datacollection… Non-compliance, is actually compliance with how they are written, as they all place the burden of proof on you. No evidence == no crime. It’s still a crime to lie about your age to age restricted content.

can’t expose what doesn’t exist. if a site asks for age verification, stop using it and find a alternative that respects privacy.

your OS starts asking for your identity information, to share with everyone that pokes a open API, it’s time to jump OSs…

privacy is something you make a best effort to avoid creating obvious methods of exploiting. you don’t share your credit card numbers with every email too, just because they say they cannot prove it was your card on file?

identity is personal online, no one is entitled to it unless you choose to share it. otherwise it’s a invasion of privacy.

want to protect kids? educate them and keep them off tiktok/social media by fining the parents when they are identified.

fined twice? treat the kid like you would any other time a theft of service occurs.

there is no such thing as privacy when sharing private information, that’s accessible remotely.

leaks can and will occur. but more importantly this will be used to create digital associations between inviduals and Their online presence, just like all the other digital identity laws have.

it protects no one, as getting around it is easy as lying. while intentionally harming adults that comply out of necessity.

there is a reason people are jumping ship from privacy invading services already…

the solution is holding parents (and the child) responsible for the action of their childrens actions and not trying to create industry wide privacy invasion for bad actors to use. what’s next, gold stars for Linux users to wear?

I completely agree with this. treat it like a privilege level. it’s that simple. it doesn’t need to define “age”, it can just define what a account cannot access.

this is all a slippery slope, and a terrible one at that. gates protect no one and just tech people to learn to get around them…

it’s almost like corporations should be required to report all assets every year along with Thier taxable expenditures…

it’s almost like their should be capital interest tax and loan resurgence limits, that require a federal application and limits on how it can be used (like home and auto loans are)

news is about bringing awareness to the masses. so they can make informed decisions and act accordingly.

articles like this are meant to tell the general public “Hey, start yelling at your politicians to fix this, before it’s you they are buying information on to target you for something you didn’t do!”

I mean most ceos went to uni for business and paid others to do their course work it seems. Then got hired on the vibes.

Shareholders care about only one thing, and its not the company or its employees. Of course maniacal idiots are at the top of the list for CEO, their too narcissistic and lack empathy to care.
