of concern: spain's model will be PIN protected and not exclusively biometric. this is an important concession to make for accessibility at the cost of casual fraud in the living room

w3c is also working on a new method that reminds me of like a passkey concept extension, so we'll see how that goes. i dunno. this is the least shitty proposal ive seen.

that took a minute. as you can imagine theres a big gap between the legislative bluster and reporting and the technical side. it uses w3c VC model. EU has some shiny hype videos that show an app requirement so there's plenty of ways it can still end up sucking. ec.europa.eu/digital-buil...

the tiger depends on a few proprietary blobs though, which is why they are not popular in residential settings

gimme a bit and i'll find it for you

have you read Spain's solution? it's actually not terrible and could work most of the places we need it

if an image based system can exist which:

1. happens exactly once
2. never stored or transmitted
3. on a device you don't have to buy
4. in a library or post office
5. with any skin color
6. regardless of figure
7. does not identify you when used

then sure. but a human can already do that.

man i can't wait for W3C to finish cooking up a decent age assurance system that works anywhere a browser does only for 18 US states to go full-frontal-moron and design their own and refuse to accept anybody else's without a hand job under the desk. i mean interstate compact.

so what do? refuse to participate wherever possible. disclose the absolute bare minimum about yourself. lie anywhere on anything marked "required field" that has nothing to do with the transaction and does not have legal force.

it will annoy the shit out of your friends sometimes. oh well.

if you're lucky enough to have the means to buy your way inside the gates (and you are a Desirable class member), this might not seem like a big deal. You won't notice the water temperature rising amid all the slick, sparkling distractions and trivial conveniences. but youre still a frog.

because of those requirements, whatever system emerges will never be more air tight, rigorous, or equitable than existing methods.

Exlusive, invasive, or "good enough," chose one. The secret 4th option is "fuck all that."

for age assurance to work it must be a global standard that is free to implement, free to set up, free to assert, and device independent to include every member of society including impoverished, disabled, and undocumented people.

there is no trustworthy provider for this. not one. not even apple has an answer yet, and when they do, it will be very good but not perfect and only work in apple land.

Spain's solution is technically close to how should be done, assuming it must be done at all (no)

so discords up to some bullshit again huh

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.

footballn't

The Super Bowl is chock full of AI ads and, from the bottom of my heart, I hope every single company humoring this shit goes bankrupt in glorious fashion, and that the marketing firms responsible for pitching this fuck-awful slop spends the rest of their miserable days fighting off lawsuits.

volt gen 2. it's -18C out

the gigantic rf files themselves don't compress very well, but processing it and encoding as you would with any other format, you can get very small files in the end. 5 gb for a 90 minute film would be very generous. the crucial step is processing the rf after capture, not encoding.

18 miles on a full charge is the new all time low. this range is moon rover shit

an electric car computer screen showing the battery range factors: technique, terrain, climate control, and outside temperature. they are all deeply negative values except for technique, but still sum to -33 miles of range. the best case battery range is 60 miles.

slightly cold out

i found pizza in my fridge and i am very happy about this

Insufficient Jail level.

this is why you have to tape knives to roombas

I knew it was bad but not this bad. At least now I have a short plain language video I can send people when they get mad I won't spec gen 7 unless forced

why are my friends hurting me

"how many boards could the mongols hoard, if the mongol hordes got bored?"

"i dunno but i dont believe we went to the moon"
