That is true. Sadly this is the direction society is going and it’s depressing.

What I understood is that the code of the app would be open so it can be Independently checked. It sucks that it comes to this and there will be a choice between plague and cholera, but I would rather have this approach than use 3rd party age verification services.

It was just announced that the targeted solution is a Zero Knowledge approach, where the website just receives a simple “not underage” without any additional information from a mini-wallet. This would be a solution that I could stand behind as it doesn’t use any 3rd party services for age verification. It’s akin to the COVID certificate.

I don‘t see the joke (this is truly the stupidest timeline)

Do they weld the auxiliary components?

People = Shit cover by Richard Cheese. It’s classy and represents my honest feelings at the same time.

Network down, can’t use Computer. Government Shit, can’t use computer. Cloud Computing companies shit? Can’t use computer. I want to be able to use it whenever wherever without trusting the whole Chain to hold.

Nippon banzai!

In my anecdotal experience I think it’s somewhat true for the older generation, but I’ve seen initiatives and protests of the younger generation, more progressive generation that are absolutely pro-EU - despite the blatant anti-EU propaganda that can be seen on almost any street corner when traveling through Hungary.

What a disgrace. I wish all Hungarians Godspeed in getting rid of the Anti-EU idiots in power.

They‘ll call it Copilot and charge 37,99 per month.

Paper works without electricity and can be transferred from one person to another freely. Once said paper is in one’s possession, gatekeeping the information at a later point in time becomes impossible. Websites go down, networks go down, repos go down. Paper stays.

Proton is leaving Switzerland afaik, to operate in the EU. You’re not wrong about the shit the EU is trying to pull with mass surveillance and de-anonymization. Yeae fornyear it geta struck down by courts, but the fuckers try and try.

Good. Now do the Same, but for the living and close their Accounts.

I am shocked.

You can if you pay :)

Oh yes, I totally agree - I didn’t mean for the authors and even the publishers not to get paid.

Fuck, the greed of those parasites is never ending. Educational use should be free
