Which gender do you see being most typically associated with this?

Yeah, I missed the custom allocator at first. I thought I deleted my comment fast enough, but I guess you were faster. :)

GDPR is for commercial products, not government mandated ID.

There is zero chance it would be implemented in a way that would protect privacy.

Yeah, this is 100% self-preservation. The article says they are in favor of age verification but want it done at the device level which is a much larger threat to privacy.

Based on its name, I have to assume the EU Data Act only applies in the EU. So this will still be an issue for anyone who doesn’t live in the EU.

Have you seen what he posts on Twitter?

The billions of dollars the company raised in its last two funding rounds were contingent on successfully removing this limit on investor returns.

Or you play a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities in that country as they try to block access to your servers. Depending on your moral values this might be preferable to blindly following the laws of authoritarian regimes.

The US currently employs “volunteer” troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it’s a crime to quit.

There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.

What I consider a “better interface” is almost certainly not what a new user would consider a “better interface.”

Those are libraries used by user space applications. Most distros won’t boot without them, but you can still get into a recovery shell.

I’m not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I’m pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who’s violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.
