OMF

@IamPfiffikus @ProtonVPN If you offer your ID to an "OS company", what do you think they'll do with it? The whole purpose of them collecting your ID is to then share that information with random companies on the internet. Did you not read the proposals that insist on an API for sharing that data?

You will have privacy still on the internet even if you offer your Age or ID to an OS company. OS is not similar to Internet, OS doesn’t need internet, its the place/device where the internet is accessed from. What has been under attack and rightly so is people thinking they can kill/steal/ruin/doxx and do illegal stuff on the interent cause they have anonymity. Thats what you are looking for, being anonymous but your privacy is not under attack, your privacy can still be maintained and you will have people responsible for it whom you can hold accountable for anything.

Age verification is moving off websites and into your operating system (yes, even you, Linux). California just passed a law requiring it. The UK already has it. More states are following. Here's why that's a much bigger deal than it sounds. 🧵 1/6

@JordanTrails @Spector37214958 @DemonFly666 @jrgoob @Acyn You're saying civilians in Iran don't drink water? Which is provided by the desalination plants Trump wants to blow up?

@Spector37214958 @DemonFly666 @jrgoob @Acyn The USA is not targeting civilians in Iran.

Reporter: The president said we might blow up and completely obliterate all of their generating electric plants, oil wells, Kharg island, and possibly all desalination plants. Under international law, striking infrastructure is generally prohibited. Why is the president advocating potentially a war crime and how do you square that with the US aying it does not target civilians? Leavitt: Their best move is to make a deal or else the united States armed forces has capabilities beyond their wildest imagination Reporter: Including potential war crimes? Leavitt: With respect to achieving the full objectives, the president is going to move forward… Reporter: Which of those objectives would destroying a desalination plant most help?

@IamPfiffikus @ProtonVPN Privacy on the internet has always been under attack; that's no excuse for reducing it to a false choice between "live in the woods with no internet" or "stay online but give up any expectation of privacy, ever"

What do you have to ‘hide’ and you think you can ‘hide’ from the entity that issued the same document? Like its absurd, you are already on a register, they already know which phone you are using. They already have the ‘information’ you are trying to Hide which is basically useless. Long as you are logged into the internet you gave away anonynimity which some disguise it as Privacy. Its not, and you are not anonymous already. Have you not seen the ‘admins’ of the most sophisticated websites in the dark web their identities are found and fast. Only way to be anonymous is GET OFF THE GADGETS THAT CONNECT TO INTERNET. Simple as that.

@GKWestW @fiannafact @wethepeopleeire It sure put North Haverbrook on the map!

@fiannafact @wethepeopleeire Total clown show. These idiots would buy a Springfield monorail if they were let.

After using English accents and fake AI-generated Irish music to promote the Croagh Patrick VR experience, delivered on obsolete VR hardware that has been discontinued for around three years, the team behind the project then uploaded a photo of themselves to the centre’s website from Mumbai, complete with bangra Indian music. This is an absolute scandal in the making. The council and local development companies fingerprints are all over this. More to come.

@SeaGoat_DSG @PoliceThePolic1 Ok but all videos are partial, and omitting context isn't "falsely claiming" anything. Bearing in mind the account is "police the Police", it makes sense to focus on that. No amount of crazy racist outbursts beforehand justifies police violence against a sitting, passive woman.

@exolon @PoliceThePolic1 i'm calling them out for falsely claiming what she did. yes, the police is wrong, but report properly on WHAT actually happened. surely YOU can agree people shouldn't lie, or only post partial videos, right?

Officers were responding to reports of a woman acting erratically in a park, but the situation reached a tipping point when the cop used a take down maneuver to bring Lesa Ingraham to the concrete. Was the physical restraint a necessary response or was the level of force disproportionate to the situation?

@SeaGoat_DSG @PoliceThePolic1 Screaming racial slurs does not justify grabbing her by the hair, then body slamming her into the concrete though. I hope you'd agree with that? She bit him after that, and in response he smashed her face into the ground. Totally unacceptable escalations at each point IMO.

@PoliceThePolic1 how about you be honest about what actually happened? how this bitch was screaming racial slurs at CHILDREN in a skate park? how she was chasing after them? how she BIT/TRIED TO BITE one of the police officers?

@kosa12m Ew. But also, who the hell uses Copilot to fix a typo? Just fix the fucking typo if you see one.

This is how platforms die (not that Copilot was such a good product): first they’re helpful, then they start abusing you for their own growth. Microsoft has no shame

@marty_suba @Daniel7Prinsloo How so?

@Daniel7Prinsloo Um, just shows how nasty the group is. A bunch of cowards.

@sidecartridge I agree that Discord is a pretty shit place for technical resources. Any useful bits of information get swallowed in the noise. Discourse is great (or one of the existing forums as Alexh mentioned) and much more appropriate IMO.

Closing the Discord wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment thing. If the X post was not clear enough, more details below. This project is personal. That’s just how it is. And here’s the part people either ignore or pretend not to understand. Once a discussion stops being about the topics and turns into attacking the person, it’s useless. It doesn’t matter if you call it “radical candor”, “community culture”, "truth coping", or whatever buzzword is popular this week. Personal attacks don’t fix bugs, don’t improve designs, and don’t make anything better. They just make the environment worse. Also, no, I’m not immune to it. Nobody is. You post less, you engage less, and eventually you leave. That’s exactly what happened here. Since it keeps coming up, I’m not a hardware engineer by training. I’m a computer scientist. I’ve spent decades building software products, which for those who haven’t done it involves a lot more than writing code. You deal with requirements, design, architecture, users, support, releases, infrastructure, all the boring parts that actually make things work. Hardware was no different. I learned it because I wanted to build something real. No formal background, no pretending otherwise. But the boards exist, they work, people use them, and the projects have been alive for years. That’s what matters. That still wasn’t enough for some people, so they attacked my professional background and achievements. Just dumb. Those are exactly what let me walk away from professional IT. I’m in the position to choose where I spend my time. Now, about what changes. Discord is going away. That decision is final. Also, chat apps are a terrible place for knowledge. Anything useful gets buried, and if you weren’t there at the right time, it’s gone. So the plan is to move to something more traditional. Most likely Discourse forum. Information should be public, searchable, and indexable, including by search engines and AI tools. Mixing support and social chat doesn’t work. It creates noise, confusion, and the expectation that everything happens in real time. Gone. That’s it.

@theworstnovelty @NoContextHumans He said "Entschuldigung bitte" multiple times which means "excuse me" in German. Did you know that many countries speak languages other than English? Or are you just a completely ignorant pompous fuck?

@NoContextHumans If this guy rode a bike, he's be one of THOSE riders who are in the street throwing fits. This guy is fucking rude as fuck. Just because you are blind doesn't mean you get the right to be an ass. NOT ONCE does this guys say "excuse me".

I don’t think people know what the line is anymore

@AylmerTH @X BREAKING NEWS: Free speech is a massive problem, according to UK politicians

British MP Max Wilkinson: @x is a "massive problem" because it allows critics of mass immigration to "have their voice heard in a really easy way that they couldn't in the past".

@Faust897419 @Martu25114 People are sick of these UK-based racists looking for any excuse to spread their racism. It's clear in the video who's in the wrong here, fuck off away with yourself.

Disgusting! These pricks are are a stain on Irish society...

BREAKING: Israel has confirmed its soldiers will not be joining the US in the ground invasion of Iran, due to the concern that they would have to fight grown men, rather than unarmed women and children

@SuperTechBro @6rya_n @BackersGamesF @TimSweeneyEpic Not everyone is dying of brain cancer and losing the health insurance they needed, you fucking ghoul.

@6rya_n @BackersGamesF @TimSweeneyEpic Tough break. She’s not the only one going through something like this. We should show sympathy and offer donations to everyone, rather than just reacting with selective outrage.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW @TimSweeneyEpic ???????

This is more relevant than ever today.

Chat Control 1 is dead. Let’s end Chat Control 2. Members of The European Parliament: stand firm in your position – no mass surveillance whatsoever!

@f4micom One of the most disturbing things about the California and New York bills was that they were voted in by a strong bipartisan majority. Even the two-party shit seems to be largely an illusion there; in reality both parties are very similar. Glad to see Chat Control fail here tho.

like for fuck’s sake letting shit slide like this is how you end up with evil 1 vs evil 2 two party shit, miss me with that, i will complain about stuff when who is supposed to be my representative does something terrible and dystopian

i will hold conservatives and progressives alike responsible for voting in favour of chatcontrol but considering i am a progressive it’s only fair that i will especially shame whoever claims to be one yet votes for the most dystopian shit ever, even one progressive vote is not ok
