Lmao, “Nothing can be done to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”.

Try and be less American.

If it discourages people from owning guns, it makes society overal safer.

Most of the hobbyist 3D printer market is not people who think that building 3D printers is fun and their primary hobby, it’s people who bought them to print other stuff for them.

It’s literally the entire reason Bambu has shot to popularity so fast.

Lol, do you realize that regular 2D printer manufacturers have mandates for embedding codes in the prints so that they can be traced?

Or that Photoshop and photo editing software has mandated counterfeit bill detection features in it?

It doesn’t completely invalidate all of your points, but the idea is not as crazy or unprecedented as a hammer with anti murder technology. Hell even just basic cap guns have to have an orange tip.

As long as gun nuts kept insisting on designing and printing guns, this was inevitably going to happen. Like what the fuck did they think the end result of designing and distributing murder machines online was going to be?? Did they really think everyone, in every jurisdiction and country around the world, was going to agree with their dumbass Republican interpretation of the 2nd amendment?

Thanks gun nuts! You’re obsession with point and click murder machines has now led to this.

They can already target children through existing means. This doesn’t change anything for bad actors.

Pedophiles aren’t being blocked from finding kids on Roblox because they don’t have an OS confirmation that the person checked a box saying they’re roughly a child, and legitimate companies can already do this through the numerous existing ways of determining user demographics.

Targeted advertising is not a problem that is solved by OS level security, it can only be solved through legislation targeting the actual harmful practice. A user spending any amount of time online will always leak enough data to figure out roughly who they are, especially with AI tooling that can do pattern recognition orders of magnitude more effectively than anything that came before.

OS level account setting is by far the simplest and least intrusive method of having some kind of age verification. Parents setup their kids account then the OS transmits the signal to the server. No IDs, no government involvement, no databases.

K, keeps being scared of stuff you make up in your head and watch nothing ever happen.

Good.

OS level age gating is the best possible solution. It means a parent can simply set an OS level account as a child’s and that’s it. No IDs, no verification process.

It’s nice to see what semi-competent adults running a region can accomplish…

glares at a giant whiny baby of a country rolling in its own shit 🫩

Yeah, I’ve looked it up and this is definitely the case, I’ve also had both Canadian and American employers refer to my position this way continuously with no repercussions (I similarly have an engineering degree in another field and was an eit and am now in software).

It’s weird because if the provincial engineering societies were serious about enforcing their rules, it would take them ZERO effort to find thousands and thousands and thousands of violations through like a single LinkedIn search. The fact that they dont put in such a minimal amount of effort kind of signals they don’t care about the rule.

The business loses a sale of what though? A copy they never created or had possession of in the first place?

If I go home and build a PC, can Dell claim that I deprived them of a sale of a copy of one of their computers?

Pirating is not and never has been stealing. You do not deprive anyone of anything when you make a copy of something.

Copyright is a dumb as shit system of artificial scarcity and always has been.

This is simple-munded nonsense.

“You’re either with us or against us.”

It’s binary thinking garbage.

You should reevaluate your Internet usage and how addicted to outrage you are.

Lmfao, so now he’s not allowed to do or say anything to influence international relations unless it has your personal stamp of approval?

Not every statement is designed to appeal to you personally.

If years from now you don’t vote for Carney because of this tweet, everyone will look at you extremely confused.

This is just ragebait from OP, nothing more.

He’s literally praising him to try and convince Trump to keep supporting Ukraine.

That alone is good enough reason.

You know what absolutely did not convince Trump to keep supporting Ukraine? This stupid ass fucking tweet.

You literally don’t know that. Lots of people have accused Mark Rutte of pandering to Trump, but from all reporting it’s worked because Trump is actually that vane. Reminding him that one of his closest supporters vehemently supported Ukraine has a chance of moving the needle.

Also, guess what. Carney doesn’t need Lindsey Graham’s vote or Donald Trump’s vote to keep his position. He needs our votes, so maybe praising someone who wanted the USA to invade Canada is actually really stupid politics.

Lmfao “why isn’t carney pandering to us, we’re the reactionarily outraged!”

I think you’re confusing him for PP, Carney is the one who behaves like an adult.
