Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

when i go to use big ass words it can never predict it right anyways

also im so sorry i think i read this backwards. but i hope that helps in some way 😭

the biggest issue seems to be getting the drivers for nvidia gpus to work properly. but that’s a general linux thing not necessarily ubuntu specific

im not the most knowledgeable but if you’re going to experiment with linux the safest bet seems to be ubuntu. it has a lot of community support and seems to be the most stable and hardest for new users to break (at least that’s what my computer buddy told me)

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

a design i made is up for offers atm!! meet croissant sheep

I accept offers above 20gbp!
rts are appreciated!

Friends! We begin the calls for this bill MONDAY when offices open.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Brian Mast, is HR 5300. There is no due process! If Marco Rubio decides your passport is gone, it is GONE.
