Eugenics, btw

The pixels come out otherwise.

MY BODY IS A MACHINE THAT TURNS ELECTRICAL SIGNALS INTO COLORED PIXELS. YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME, MORTAL. DON’T TREAD ON ME.

Cave diving is so wild to me. All the horrors of spelunking with more cold, extra crap to carry, and a time limit with the consequence of death if it hits 0.

It’s free real estate

I had one truly awful professor in college. I’m pretty sure he came in hung over multiple times. Regardless of speculation, he definitely DID Google the topic of the say and get notes from other professors from other universities to teach from and then also had the audacity to complain about them. The cherry on the shit cake was him falling asleep during the grad students’ presentations and then was weirdly aggressive and nit picky about what they said after waking up. I really laid into him on the student review. Supposedly their boss reads them all. I hope he saw some consequences. It’s one thing to sort of be hands off and say “you’re in college now, you need to teach yourself,” but it’s another thing to be an asshole and disrespect your students by falling asleep.

Yeah, in what world is it one tick more corporate/authoritarian than Arch?

I was born in '91 and a lot of what I associate with the '90s actually are things from the early '00s. I think part of it is because we moved around that time so memories of my old house and things that were from the actual '90s sort of faded in my mind.

Then you got Ape Escape and it’s DRUMS AND BASS

Soundtrack for the curious.

I recently stopped working as a developer for Disney, and even if this deal is gone for using their IP in AI, they’re still really big on AI at the moment. From the C level there was a push for everyone to be using it as much as possible. Everyone needed to be showing how much they were integrating it into their workflows.

I feel this law has the intent to damage and disrupt things in general, yes. Parental controls have existed for ages but lawmakers don’t seem interested in them. For example, all the porn bans, rather than forcing sites to use some sort of self tagging system that parental controls could easily see (like some response header) they just want them to take IDs. All of it is a push to forcing people to always be online transparently with their real identity well known.

You don’t need to be suspicious, they’re explicitly adding it because of that. They said as much. Look at what they wrote under “Motivation.”

Well, yes, but they didn’t say that, they said something that has two interpretations. I’ve gotten clients out of worse.

You’re saying that in a post age verification world though, my whole point is that if this were there before it wouldn’t seem bad. I’m not saying we should add it now because it would’ve been fine before.

This website says my device is less trustworthy because I’m using incognito and privacy focused settings. Fuck 'em.

The thing that’s frustrating is that if the age verification laws weren’t there and they wanted to add a birthday field it wouldn’t seem bad. Details about the human using the account like first and last name are already stored. All you really need is username. But because it’s explicitly in reaction to age verification laws we have to be skeptical about adding it.

Domestic spying good foreign spying bad

Bro was dead ass talking about diddling kids on main in plaintext and they say they need to ban encryption to catch criminals.
