// tomhatzer - let's build together! 🚀

Check this out. A Storybook-style playground for @laravelphp Blade components. It uses Liminal by @aschmelyun to power this with WASM, making it a fully sandboxed Blade component playground for building and testing.

Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert after community outrage. Unpaid compliance simp. Link below...

@d0tslash Don't know why it's not showing the preview and making my post look sketchy... 🤦‍♂️

Hey @d0tslash , they are selling the dogs in Europe now... I'm tempted, so tempted... Please talk me out of it, pleeeease! joybuy.de/dp/10457131?re…

wow, systemd is adding an age variable for future digital ID laws. Linux users are not going to like this.

Like I said in a previous post on the topic of ID/Age Verification - I started digging into the topic quite a bit, especially after that Meta lobbying exposed news dropped. What I have (and more of others) found is something that is so stupid, but also makes a whole lot of sense...in fact imo its the perfect piece of the puzzle. I will lay out my digging through a series of events: 1. Advertisers (ie Corporations with products or services to sell), contract with big Social media platforms, paying boatloads of money for adspace. The logic is that even if 10% of the tens of millions of users buy into their ads, its worth the investment. 2. The onset of botting, has led to ads being viewers by more bots than they do humans. No matter how many bots watch your ads, they never need your products or services. So they will never give advertisers' money and business. 3. This essentially means that, Advertisers are proverbially throwing money into the drain. Paying the price with practically no ROI. Many reports indicate that this botting problem resulted in multi-billion dollar wastage on ad spending. 4. Advertisers have started grilling social media companies, especially Meta which was one of the biggest sources of the issue. This resulted in many advertisers basically threatening to pull ad money until the botting situation is controlled. 5. The botting situation became even WORSE around 2023-2025 with the Ai-Bros and Ai Companies hard pushing Ai development. The past anti-bot systems and measures lose effectiveness as Ai makes bots more sophisticated. 6. Then late 2025/2026, you can see the SNAP. The nuclear solution - Age/ID verification being pushed or implemented across multiple countries at around the same timing (within months). 7. Then now all the news about Socmed and big tech corps lobbying politicians and governments for mass ID/Age Verification on an OS/Appstore level. 8. Why? Since you pick your poison to "age verify"...a selfie, submit your ID, or Ping your credit card. Sure your age will be "verified", but it also comes with the useful byproduct of confirming you are HUMAN. So as a takeaway, what does this mean? Well to me at least, this quite neatly explains why BOTH Governments and large Corporations have collaborated and colluded to push for ID Verification at an alarming pace Globally. In the end, it really was about money. It also means quite simply in my opinion - these Corporations and Governments, NEVER really cared about "the children". "Think of the Children" imo, has always been, and will continue to be the convenient excuse for these corporations and politicians to implement this privacy-invasive system. Because if only PROVEN humans can use social media, or other similar sites/services - Advertisers will be mollified and continue to throw money at these Big Tech corporations for continued ad space. This ALSO means - that the so-called parents and people like the Riceman who run defence of ID Verification, are either very stupid, or complicit in this. Either way, the only winners are the Advertisers, the Big Tech Corpos, and the Politicians. We all however, lose.

@DanielLockyer Each day, every day

At this rate, the AI lab that is going to win is the one that's actually online when users want it 😅

@HappyMotorhead Doc Hudson cooking!

Beats going to therapy... ● Don't you agree?

@Lukas_Kae @laravelphp

@laravelphp Would be cool if this would be possible on forge hosts on different providers 🙈 the traffic costs might be higher etc. than having it on own hardware.

Managing your own database server is often the hardest part of self-hosting. Forge now handles it for you. Learn more & get started → lrvl.co/managed-databa…

We have tools that can help people write. Instead, we use them to make everyone sound the same. I wrote a short blog post on that here: cyb3rops.medium.com/im-sick-of-rea…

@phpastes You mean Laravel, Tom?

What's your preferred back-end framework?

.@Amnesty & 27 other NGOs are calling on @EU_Commission to robustly enforce existing laws #DMA #DSA #GDPR to regulate Big Tech companies rather than watering them down. Weak enforcement allows these companies to continue its damaging practices at the cost of fundamental rights

Today, the final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 begin between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU. Although the requirement for mandatory scanning (including end-to-end encrypted messaging services) has been removed, several problematic elements remain in the Council's position. For instance, the Council wants to demand identity verification to use messaging services (including end-to-end encrypted). This would pose significant risks to dissidents, whistleblowers, and others, and create a chilling effect on free speech. We hope the European Parliament stands firm against any wording that paves the way for mass surveillance and censorship. Cyprus, currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU, aims to conclude the negotiations by June. A reminder of the corrupt backstory behind the Chat Control proposal and the involvement of Ashton Kutcher and his company Thorn: mullvad.net/why-privacy-ma…

Servers fail. But in a distributed system, how do you detect when this happens? Gossip protocols are one (fun!) way to solve the problem.

Tonight i publish UniTeaBag, live from AHA. CVE-2026-1442. Everyone can now decrypt and encrypt Unitree Firmware packages. Enjoy :) github.com/Bin4ry/UniTEAB…
