We have cars, and kids are not allowed to drive them. Yet we do not have mechanisms in place to ensure kids aren't driving cars because the responsibility falls on the parents, and it works. By and large, parents…
> No. You're still not quite internalizing that the California regulation does not mandate any verification or enforcement or protection of the accuracy of the age bracket data. It mandates that the question be asked,…
I guess I am kind of describing Discord in some sense, I personally discounted Discord as I've only ever used it as a free voice chat for small groups. But to be fair, I would rather leverage basic HTTP websites for…
Yeah, you are right! I have started going down that road the last year or so, but mostly in the IRC sphere. I started hanging out libera.chat, but found a smaller community on irc.inthemansion.com which I really enjoy.…
It's never going to happen, but I felt we solved all of this with forums and IRC back in the day. I wish we gravitated towards that kind of internet again. Group sizes were smaller and as such easier to moderate. There…
I think that supporting a wide spread of newspaper on the local level will alleviate all these issues in aggregate. This is what we do in Norway and I think it works quite well to be honest. My municipality of around…
I felt pretty much the exact opposite. I was immediately drawn to some of the abstract art while not particularilly enjoying the traditional paintings. I found them too uncanny and "lifeless". That being said, if I had…
I think the "surveilance capitalism" and centralization of companies like Meta, Google etc has made many of us very sensitive to any systems that will leave traces of us against our will, be it porn, flock cameras or…
One of my favorite beets projects is beets-flask. It lets you set up fully or partially automated import pipelines with a nice web UI to manage any manual steps needed. Importing is usually as simple as dropping a zip…
You are correct. I was still basing my post of the assumption that the AI scanning was still in the bill and that the proposed two strikes then chats would disclosed was there as well, which they is not. This provision…
I think 'restoring the ability to wiretap' is misleading as this is not 'restoring the ability', its more akin to 'wiretapping everyone all the time'. Wiretapping requires probable cause and a court order in order to be…
I wouldn't necessarily call it comforting fantasy, people change their minds all the time. I think we're all to some extent able to justify some negative sides of any political movement as tensions rise. I've felt this…
I had the same experience with matrix.org, then I set up my own homeserver and it it became a LOT more snappy. Its not perfect, but its been an adequate replacement for me and my few friends who are interested in…
It's not about being defeatist, atleast not for me. It's about what is considered good enough. Sure, locking down the OS in this way is more secure, but it's also very restrictive and personally I don't think the added…
I still prefer tranditional search engines over LLMs but I admit, its results feels worse than it has traditionally. I don't like LLMs for two reasons: * I can't really get a feel for the veracity of the information…
Isn't the Xbox just running a modified version of windows?
I've been selfhosting a dendrite matrix instance for about a year now. I'm only in a few public channels of a few hundred users, but also #matrix:matrix.org which has 44000 users and it hardly uses any resources. I have…
It does feel radically different from the more traditional way of doing things, but I think it is for the better. I wouldn't call it abusing. Tailwind together with view components has changed how I structure my code…
Down in Norway too it seems.
You're right, but as one who thinks we've kinda optimized the fun out of the internet over the last years I can't really fault it for being suboptimal. While I don't want all webpages to be like this, I like that this…
I'm a non native English speaker with a name that is written exactly like a very common English name. In my native tongue the pronunciation is different from English by quite a bit. There is no way anyone could…
I find blocking ads online to be as immoral as changing the channel for a few minutes or getting snacks during the ad break on tv. The ads are part of the their monetization, By this logic I'm not fulfilling my social…
Speaking from personal experience I found the process of using dart to be VERY painless. I'm mostly a web developer, but have taken some Java courses in college and have dabbled in a bit of C# outside of my normal…
I don't think this is true for a large majority of us. Use cases and therefore priorities differ, its not that we just haven't "seen the light". My laptop lasts a good 6-7 hours doing normal tasks, but I hardly ever use…
Uniformity perhaps? I for one help manage several workloads that has become quite a lot easier to manage through containers and I'dd rather deal with that than having a few workloads being deployed differently from…
