Shit google LLM response about pizza. Their shit AI says "You can also add about 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness"

Thats saying something that you trust some shit LLM.

Homemade crypto versus "give your phone# away, promises that we won't leak stuff"

Points towards Tox network.

No phone# needed.

That's an effectively unprovable claim that they don't save metadata.

HOWEVER it is very verifable if you have a spare phone, and put everyone in your phone number block a a contact, Signal will dutifully tattle on every signal user.

Why? CAUSE THEY NEEDLESSLY CAPTURE PHONE NUMBERS

Dontcha know, the ceasefire is BETWEEN the bombings.

Not at all.

We have to be willing to admit where the failures are. Its the only way to start fixing.

Like Liberty Vote, the scam MAGA company that bought Dominion... What would it take to get local got to NOT buy their services?

There are ways to impede. And do not comply in advance.

And allowing DMs or putting a nonpublic contact on your webpage 🙃

Thats why this place kinda sucks.

Fediverse is loads better. Less people, but so much less hatred towards other people.

Corporate social media encourages infighting and hate to generate 'activity'.

I'm not sure he was legitimately voted in.

The election system has lots of holes in various places. Defcon election village talked a lot of the insecurities.

And now, a MAGA company bought half of voting companies in the USA.

It ain't looking good.

This might be useful :)

And I also asked for academic sources for this claim of "age verification but without identity verification".

You have yet to do so.

Im willing to accept I'm wrong with evidence. But so far, it just gets worse and worse. With your solution you need a bank permission.

KYC would absolutely refute this "cant be traced back".

By definition, KYC and a unique transaction ID explicitly ties it to the card owner.

And this solution also only says "person who has card is X person". 13 year old could take and use card.

And its not defeatist to call out bad choices.

Im game for reading any academic papers you can point me towards.

Only way forward here is to assume everyone is a child, until they identify. I'm seeing "upload your drivers license" on various discords, facial recognition, and other onerous shit.

This is how discord mods are doing it right now.

"Verify age without identifying customer" is the same energy as "cryptography but not for bad people", ala Clipper chip or more recently with Chat Control.

This shit is going to lead us to an internet that is gated precisely to our legal identity. All because of 'but the children' idiots.

Quite frankly, Im done with jamming shit policy with "but the children".

The UK is inflicted with this garbage of "everybody is a child until you identify yourself", and then every fucking thing you do is tracked with your legal name. And we're seeing this in the USA as well.

I just shared 4 recorders I modeled from historical sources!

I just found your wplace pic in northern Indiana(I65 corridor near Goodland).

That's cool!

Remember, Congress can impeach, remove and jail.

This isnt just trump's scam. This is every republican in on this, AND many democrats.

That seems it would permit the legitimate use of requesting asylum. If you can get away.

Id say to go to Canada.. but the USA is the only "safe 3rd country" www.canada.ca/en/immigrati... .🤮

Perhaps Mexico City?

But trans folk are kinda fucked right now.

That he was going to shoot up the school.

Hell, even as a 12 year old, never made those sorts of comments. Sure I beat a few bullies up. Black eyes, hurt egos... But never more than fisticuffs.

AI bullshit cannot fix the fact they've lost access to most of the shows that originally made Netflix great.

And now, everyone and their cat has a "streaming service". So to what what you used to, you now need like 10 different services.

Or you set it up yourself with #Jellyfin and rip/pirate.

Naturally, its more bad christians using religion to destroy more good public policy and healthcare.

Evidently all the verses of healing the sick, like Matthew 4:23-25, don't count for "those" diseases.

All of this is "legal". Every bit of it.

Why? Cause the "people with legal rights to arrest and shoot you" haven't done diddly shit.

So, its legal.

Doesn't make it right, or constitutional. But we've left that for a while now.

They werent infiltrated on Friday Feb 14.

#doge was in the VA since friday Feb 7.

This came from FedFam on Facebook.

Radicalized A short story about health care, and desperation.

Cory Doctorow wrote a story abut this. He published it free online. And honestly, pushing people with no other choices to the brink of death could definitely do this.

Response of

"We do not negotiate with terrorists."

I've also been bitten by this. Company offered free shipping. Went through USPS.

That turned into "pay us for getting nothing".

Put in a complaint with the USPS Inspector General.

Or... Canada and Mexico had backchannel talks to lie to trump.

And they get a 1 month concession with "we promises to do blablabla" all the while planning to cut off the USA completely.

If the US wants to be isolationist, then they'll isolate.

These are my "representatives". We've been gerrymandered to hell and back.

Im going to go out on a limb and say they do not give one shit. Or worse, they are complicit.
