@ChibiReviews not really. Its just rejects on X angry about it. X is the new 4chan for this type of stuff. You can say anything on here.

Nuclear Take: Going to say something very harsh but true
This entire drama will indirectly cause manga authors to never put black characters in their stories again. Why add something that will likely cause unnecessary drama at this point
It creates a chilling effect for anyone seeing it. So authors and artists will actively avoid it.

Reality is if you're going to have black characters and black culture in your creation, you're going to attract black fans and you need to learn how to treat those fans and black people in general with respect and listen to their voices

I finally finished my first MCP (model context protocol) in python. Apparently Windows Server 2025 is complete trash with ssh/tls/etc. Used Stunnel to fix it as a workaround.
I first tried tensorflow
>this is amazing!!!
>finally do the basic Train the ai on 0-9 on mnist data.
>this is awesome!!!!! :D
>alright finally moving on
>wait... a minute.
>>Trying the reinforcement learning.
>hold up... What do you mean the reinforcement learning packages are all old and won't work????????
>the only possible way all this old code mess to work is by pushing my code to containers with that ancient python setup...
ohhhh dearrrrrr
Spend a ton of time on research...
>How could the team who created chatgpt, beat someone in go, play starcraft... How could they have left tensorflow to rot like this???
Ooooooh They moved to JAX
ok... Let me start over.
>Start using jax to get caught up
>finally get back to the mnist
>Use pytorch to download mnist data.
>nothing really compiles because everythings already outdated.
Annnnnnnd for that reason i'm done with google lmao.
If i'm going to be using pytorch i might as well use pytorch.
at least the stuff in pytorch compiles and runs.
so i've been slowly moving to pytorch.
I would love to work at xai but i have imposter syndrome lol

there's no feasible way to do so...
because the law states that the id has to be verified.
Option 1: $300 per month contract, $0.87 per ID verified.
how do you check millions of users IDS?
Option 2: "Hey AI, your a bouncer in a bar, check this id + face check and make sure they are over 18"
but then anybody who gets past that's $10,000

@LundukeJournal Banning teens from open source because you can't build a consent form. Peak corporate Linux.
English

An update to the “openSUSE Linux bans teenagers” story:
openSUSE has, “in concert with SUSE legal”, updated their terms of service to:
- Allow “passive access to publicly available content” without creating an account.
- Allow teenagers to make an account *if* the user has “verifiable consent of your parent”.
However.
According SUSE’s VP of Engineering, Jeff Mahoney, the company does “have a system in place to handle ‘verifiable consent’ yet”.
Which means, effectively, teenagers are still banned (for the time being) from creating an account or contributing to openSUSE Linux in any way. But these updated terms will allow teenagers to use openSUSE Linux on their personal systems again (forbidden under the previous terms put in place back in March).
“That _is_ a legal requirement in the US and EU,” said Mahoney. “We're still investigating how to do that in a way that is both legally sufficient and acceptable to the community. That's an ongoing conversation with SUSE Legal and I'll bring an update when I have something to share.”

@lenahamersky @Bitcoin_Teddy there's an app in the chrome webstore lol

another issue of pushing the age verification to operating systems and google play/apple...
because I asked AI how this could potentially work, I've asked ai and @grok several times.. "why can't we just have a browser header that can't be changed" when accessing the web...
-> can be spoofed
-> header applied via a proxy.
so i'm not sure how the website pushing it to the os even works here.
the problem with this then becomes.
->You have to install an application on your computer or phone.
-> Scan the QR code. ((assuming the QR code generators don't get hit with malware)) scanning random qr codes could be potentially dangerous.
->The app has to digitally sign the request
->Assuming that you have the patch that adds in the verification api on your phone.
->the app then sends the signal back to the website.

@LundukeJournal I wish they would fight to get rid of age verification... but the UN is pushing hard... 25 states already have laws, UK, brazil, australia are all getting them too.
I think they are seeing the "best they can hope for" is offloading it on someone else.
English

It makes sense. Age verification systems cost upwards of $300 + $0.87 per id to verify.
So imagine..
>Person cums in.
>verifies age ((nobody is going to give up there idlet's face it.. your just going to go to a website that doesn't age verify))
>They get in
>stay for a bit
>clear cookies/cache because they didn't make an account
then in a couple of days when they come back they have to reverify the id...
Between ad blockers and ads, they aren't going to make enough money to cover the age verification most likely.
Even mark is going to have to spend something like $6 billion on age verifying everyone. lol..
This is why everyone is wanting to unload this hot potato on someone else... especially when the fines are up to $10,000 per kid that uploads a golden retriever to bypass it... nobody wants that liability.
English

@grok thanks for helping me condense my adhd rattled brain into a concise response lol.. basically this thing is going to absolutely wreck the open web. You either can pay for age verification or you go poof and shutdown.
You forgot one: these laws destroy the open web.
As a developer you now have two options:
Pay a big verification provider ~$300/month (¥47,000) on a 12-month contract + up to $0.87 (¥137) per ID check.
Build your own AI workaround ("Hey AI, act as a bouncer and verify this person is 18+"). Then you're liable for $10,000+ (¥1,570,000+) per minor who slips through.
The rules use vague language like "harmful to children" with no clear definitions. The UK already showed how fast this spreads — started with porn, now Spotify needs age gates. If music requires verification, what doesn't?
Startups and small sites can't afford compliance. Only Big Tech can.
This will also wipe out small community spaces. Think private game servers — the kind where someone rents a cheap $10/month VPS, buys a $20 domain, and hosts an old game or modded server with a simple site and forums for players. Under these laws, anything with user-to-user interaction (even just a support forum) can trigger age verification requirements. Older games and private servers that can't comply will just disappear. We're going to lose a lot of the corners of the internet that can't pay for compliance.
These laws don't protect kids. They raise the cost of entry, hand more power to governments and monopolies, and kill the open web while real exploitation gets ignored.

また、年齢確認法を可決した全ての国々で、政治家は「子ども達を守る」を合言葉にしているが、この施策の結果(効果)を検証することは恐らく無いでしょう。
alpha@omarsbigsister
In every single country that passed age verification laws: 1) databases got leaked 2) innocent websites got censored 3) governments became more censorship heavy 4) protests became more criminalized 5) information got harder to find
