Probably time to move the UN to a country with a stable government.

we keep replacing the old guard at this rate they might even play fetch with that ball by themselves.

Stealing the "premium ai content" on one of those slop sites would be cathartic if it wasn't such worthless garbage to begin with.

hamas was a useful tool for the idf.

they were kept in power when an opposition party threatened to bring peace to the conflict with a 2 state solution.

I'm going to step away from this now because it's getting too spicy for me.

You're great, and I hope you have a good evening.

You know I can build that just as well as you can. That's sidestepping the point.

Legislating OS policy gates is bad. If we can't agree on that there isn't anything else to talk about

Computer safety is a parental responsibility. Period.

If it's going to be so trivial to defeat, then why have the law in the first place?

Do you think some kid that has to learn to rebuild their window server isn't going to be able to do an end run around what ever this hypothetical nonsense is?

Chekhov's law comes to mind here.

"Sycophants" is the third one.

Linux doesn't need mandated child locks built in.

Think long and hard about what making those locks *work* would even mean.

let's keep the name Democrat name and replace the people.

They require parental participation. Which is where this problem should remain.

This isn't about children.

It's about laying the groundwork for government (oligarch) oversight of personal computing resources.

Fortunately, I'm not alone in seeing this for the obvious overreach that it is.

Do you *seriously* believe that we, as a society, are going to stop at self reported age locks?

That strains credulity.

All the tools for keeping a kid away from age restricted material exist *today*, and they don't require regulatory oversight of OS security policy by *legislature*.

I think we're just going to have to disagree on this.

The individual pieces by themselves are relatively small steps, and this is by *design.*

I don't find it difficult to extrapolate out what they sum up to.

Can you do a biopic on the children murdered in the opening attack as well?

If that's true, we should help them find each other. I'm not sure it is though.

Plotted on a chart of privacy losses from the 2000s, the trajectory seems exceptionally clear to me.

Does it not to you?

It wasn't long ago that cell tower tracking was seen as an overreach. Now it's used to identify protestors en mass.

Tbh, it's weird to hear you, of all people, try and minimize this as "hysteria."

Sure. Think of it as chess. Instead of going straight to checkmate, smaller incremental steps are easier to implement.

Once age verification is in place, then why not add face recognition to that? Once face recognition is in place, why not add AI oversight? And so on.

the actual risks are pretty clear and i think the online public reaction is proportional.

San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers has two-tier pricing.

they've been slipping schedules for over a decade. that's not a team that can execute a plan.

Miss Rachel is the heir apparent to Mr Rogers. Long may her reign be.
