Ah yes, I’m sure there won’t be any exploitative employment at any of these operations.

I feel like the tap pay would be what I miss most, but I saw someone suggest just getting a case that can hold your payment card, and it’s essentially the same thing.

Yeah I unsmarted my TV and just threw Mint on an old laptop. FreeTube works great on there.

Easy now, henceforth is a pretty big word.

Or perhaps ban prediction markets altogether? The existence of them can preclude events, and is especially dangerous when such markets are in any way violent.

I’d really recommend the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. It addresses the exact thing that this policy is trying to tackle.

In short, regarding many of the comments already here, the current (but unenforced) internet ‘age of consent’ is 13, essentially the exact age where girls and boys are most vulnerable to developing addictive habits and where (in-person) social connection is most needed.

The “just parent your kids” argument falls flat, because kids will find a way around even the most savvy of digital parental controls.

The “f off govment” argument really doesn’t help either. Should we eliminate minimum age requirements for the purchase of other addictive substances like tobacco, alcohol and marijuana? Of course not. Kids addicted to social media exhibit the same symptoms as those addicted to other things, and the health effects can be even more detrimental. Why should it be regulated any differently?

My biggest concern is how they’re going to implement age verification, because there are many privacy-invasive wrong ways, but a few privacy respecting right ways as well.

Don’t underestimate the determination of a kid who is time rich and cash poor.

Yes, social media is detrimental for adolescent development, but it’s also pretty terrible for everyone else as well. Blocking access to a portion of the population is only a band aid, and is likely to grow into a terribly insecure implementation of age verification just waiting to be compromised.

Regulate the predatory nature of the platforms, not the users.

I believe there’s an admin option to allow 3rd party TOTP generators, so perhaps your IT admin turned it off. M$ doesn’t make it a terribly conspicuous option when setting up 2FA as well.

You can use a different authenticator with M$ accounts. Just choose to set up with a different app. Aegis is nice.

I quite like my Razr. I’m sure if they’re aiming to be a true alternative to the mainstream OSs, they’ll be including many of the mainstream features

Good to know. If I’m using it, it’s through a VPN to my local network, but I do have it set up at family members’ houses through the external link too.

I don’t think it is, there are differences in their terms for these tunnels and other services. I don’t recall the specifics, but I did look it up before I set up the same thing.

I think there was something with the tunnel not actually running on the CDN.

Is this not about the magazine refusing to publish Palantir’s response to the initial article, which is part of Swiss law? Palantir is shit, but let’s maybe get the headline right.

Palantir’s lawsuit, filed in January, is not seeking damages or making libel claims against Republik, but instead alleges that the company was not given sufficient right to reply under Swiss media law.

Ooo I’m sure this is likely for future models, but I was actually pondering getting a cheap pixel to try out graphene and see what it’d be like compared to my Razr. Maybe I’ll have to wait a bit to see how this develops.

It’s called anti-circumvention law and is typically forced into trade agreements by America to allow corporations to enforce IP protection in foreign countries.

Cory Doctorow’s recent talk on it was very informative and he notes how eliminating those laws can be a way for countries to eed dependance on US tech.

I use the one in my Ioniq 5 for storage of the more emergency/just in case items. Scissor jack, tire repair kit, that sort of stuff. You’re right, it’s not great for storage you’d want to access often, but it’s nice for those types of things.

It’s very unlikely there will be any meaningful form of tech regulation in the US without significant societal change.

There’s an Ollama integration that adds it as a conversation agent.

It was pretty evenly matched, not sure I’d say GB was in full control. But yes, a few missed doubles in 9 was their downfall.

I’m not sure it’s Carney’s popularity any more than PP’s derangement.
