A mess of a girl, free on the internet. A spicy meatball indeed :3

I think they are trying to say “Some people will use this” but it’s more than likely the opposite “Linux should be forced not to have a exclusion. protect kids” blah blah blah, boot tastes good.
because every argument for this, assumes it’s not a push by meta to collect more data and train AI…
In all honesty I hope all of this crashes and burns, like previous terrible ideas. punish the platforms, kids and parents. don’t punish everyone else.
would have to be really short distances or really high power levels at those frequencies…
that transmitter has got to be HOT
allowing Palantir and supporting ice was my cutoff… I had premium for years…
worse was how suddenly my playlists I listened to often, the songs started sounding different/wrong… turns out they were silent swapping them for AI cover versions…
surely this classified military work, won’t be civilian surveillance…
also sensibly built EVs. most modern EVs use liquid cooling around the batteries and sensors can detect temperatures too high or too low to engage pumps and heating elements to warm the fluid and prevent battery issues.
cooling stopped being a major issue a few years ago, in battery packs, the cells are cooled via liquid cooling automatically and kept in balance. efficiency calculations in warmer climates are generally better than combustion engines as the waste heat is vented off and in some cases even reused. while petrol and diesel engines compound heat, they require careful operation and often the spec is wrong for warm environments, risking overheating.
I honestly don’t know what your talking about. proxmox updated the pve kernels immediately after this CVE was published…
additionally, this CVE only applies to older (pre-6.17 kernels). unless you are on proxmox 8 or earlier, you are already running a “patched” kernel as the pathway necessary for this was changed and in kernel 7.x and above this CVE doesnt work…
gotta love that GUI, that bombards you with reminders to subscribe to their paid tier repository constantly and won’t let you update…
also, provides no methodology to control when it wants to overwrite a config or when a externally added signable dkms exists and creates a prompt during dkms building.
the gui is nice, but it’s far from perfect…
ms, google(android) and apple have already implemented this. it’s waiting to go live. there was a discussion about it quite a while ago.
that’s what this infrastructure is for. all of these bills are written with google/ms/apple accounts with subusers in mind.
California one doesn’t even have language to let adults have a user legally…
ultimately I think it’s apple/ms working with meta hoping to force people to use Thier software
I mean… it should be obvious that this would happen. google since 2024 has gone full on fascist-support.
your data, regardless of where you live in the world, is not safe from Google sharing it specifically with the US Govt. without due process and without any privacy oversight.
it’s not in question that they will comply, it’s in their best financial interest as they are a government contractor at 4 different levels, including military intelligence and weapons design…
trusting Google is at your own peril… but we are also in a point of time where options are even more limited due to the restrictions on email providers and platform dependence.
the law wouldn’t hold up in court anyway. its not practical for any ecosystem outside online sites.
accounts and users are the same thing, despite what the law says. it also doesn’t different a person from a user, meaning a compromised system that is complying with the law, its actions represent the user, and the account holder is held responsible.
its made to absolve meta/Microsoft/google from their actions in targeting kids with intentionally addictive content and making the “account holder” at fault.
are you sure it’s even a person, not a bot? because this all screams either bot or seeking internet fame as the “hero to kids”.
because it’s all part of a larger project to collect usable data. you can’t force standards, but you can force laws.
if you build a standard and no one follows it. then it’s wasted time and money. Meta, Google and Microsoft all have a vested interest in user data. more so with law enforcement buying it in bulk to build identity profiles of /individuals/.
if tomorrow they got added to the law to store and transmit a string of your government ID, would you be more resistant?
the issue is, VPNs hide your ISPs assigned IP. till now there has been a higher difficulty in differentiating traffic from the same IP with similar metadata. the more user specific metadata that’s added, the easier it is to differentiate devices and users.
this makes targeting specific devices with malware for spying significantly easier. at the very least.
but at a bigger point of view, it gives provable cause because the way the law is written implies every user that installs the OS becomes a OS distributor and every user is a minor by definition, even if the API flag says otherwise.
I recommend you read that again and if the words “probable cause” don’t come to mind you don’t understand the risk of a “minor” identifying as a adult.
yes. every time in the history of gnu software when a function is added without a purpose its for a later feature.
otherwise there is no need for the form? since when do we leave empty forms in software that can be used to store strings, that hold no meaning…
only two uses for this. to implement the full API later or to have a string the user normally does not see that becomes a perfect place to store malware. full stop.
complying with the API is a act of absolute stupidity…
not really, the law is written that complaince makes you complicit. every user is a child. there is no adult users.
above all else, even if the API is used properly, unless it’s giving false positives, it creates a metric that can be tracked to form patterns. these are all a advanced method to identify individuals to unmask online identities…
it’s government backed, their for the government knows every time it’s used and it identifies you…
when a service requests to use it, it becomes correlation data… this is data both the government and the application developers can use to identify you on the internet.
It may mean nothing today, but I can and will if either the application switches developers to a nation who uses this information for nefarious means. or if your government changes policies to something intentionally nefarious.
blind trust is never good.
Better yet, vote/demand actual punishments for parents when their children chose to commit crimes as they don’t want to parent.
However this is not entirely true either, for two reasons.
Any open port is a attack vector and no matter how secure it is today, tomorrow is not a promise. More so with how this overlaps with laws like Australia’s, which requires all encryption to provide a backdoor for government access. (This means the 5 eyes nations get access by definition to this API while it’s in transit, as soon as it leaves the host system…)
But that’s not just the only issue. The whole issue with libxz being targeted by nation state sabotage proved that, it’s possible to put backdoors into applications despite “many eyes” on the code. (That case was only caught because one obsessive person over the /testing/ speed… 90% of such attempts in most projects would go unnoticed simply as there is not enough maintainers)
Firefox is just a example, so many applications use permissable licenses that don’t require all of the sourcecode to be human readable or even accessible.
Big thing is nothing stops driver vendors from stealing this data too, no different than Microsoft does, whether or not you are signed Into a Microsoft account on windows. Telemetry is already a growing issue and the scope of telemetry data in closed source blobs doesn’t have to be defined…
So by definition it’s not any more secure…
Even if it was, the bigger question is why. Why does the application or web service need to know.
If a child walks into a liquor store and steals alcohol, they get arrested. The burden of proof was never on the liquor store. Why is the burden of proof on the OS and not the parent or child.
We don’t need nanny software, that teaches kids to be better liars. We need stronger punishments for criminal actions, regardless of age and more importantly punishments for the parents for allowing it to occur. Babygating the entire OS for some one elses children that would never touch it, legally. Is a example of creating solutions for a problem YOU(parents/government) created.
All of these age laws came from the social media bans. These of which only came into existence as a means of datacollection… Non-compliance, is actually compliance with how they are written, as they all place the burden of proof on you. No evidence == no crime. It’s still a crime to lie about your age to age restricted content.
can’t expose what doesn’t exist. if a site asks for age verification, stop using it and find a alternative that respects privacy.
your OS starts asking for your identity information, to share with everyone that pokes a open API, it’s time to jump OSs…
privacy is something you make a best effort to avoid creating obvious methods of exploiting. you don’t share your credit card numbers with every email too, just because they say they cannot prove it was your card on file?
identity is personal online, no one is entitled to it unless you choose to share it. otherwise it’s a invasion of privacy.
want to protect kids? educate them and keep them off tiktok/social media by fining the parents when they are identified.
fined twice? treat the kid like you would any other time a theft of service occurs.
there is no such thing as privacy when sharing private information, that’s accessible remotely.
leaks can and will occur. but more importantly this will be used to create digital associations between inviduals and Their online presence, just like all the other digital identity laws have.
it protects no one, as getting around it is easy as lying. while intentionally harming adults that comply out of necessity.
there is a reason people are jumping ship from privacy invading services already…
the solution is holding parents (and the child) responsible for the action of their childrens actions and not trying to create industry wide privacy invasion for bad actors to use. what’s next, gold stars for Linux users to wear?
this is so stupid. I develop in a full gui IDE. use Kate for everything else, both have a terminal embedded.
how is “recording vim” is proof… you could just have a AI agent wrapped around a stdout to another ai agent running vim… that would instantly defeat this…
this is a searching for a solution where there is no real problem… sure some AI slop is still going to be submitted. do the same thing as any other industry would. inspect the code, if it works and can be maintained, accept it. if not, say why…
