  • I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age

    Jump

  • Care to elaborate which you think are fascist?

    Regarding age verification I think that things we generally don't allow kids access to in real life could make sense to age restrict online as well. Something like gambling comes to mind, and I wouldn't personally consider it a fascist action to limit access to that.

    Edit: again, under the prerequisite of properly implemented zero-knowledge proof so the site only knows if you're old enough but not actual age, name or anything.

  • Do you also think age restrictions in real life is fascism?

  • I am actually not fundamentally against the idea of age verification for some things online. We have many things with age restrictions in real life, for various reasons, it kind of makes sense to have it online as well for some things.

    but...it has to be done with zero-knowledge proof so we limit the amount of private data exposed to the absolute bare minimum.

  • That would hit undercover and investigating journalism hard

  • BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

  • Frequent acceleration/deceleration driving like city driving is also significantly more efficient in EVs because of regenerative braking. ICE just lose all that energy they spent accelerating when the have to stop 500m later, which destroys their efficiency.

  • Honey, I Shrunk The Vids - a Windows transcoding frontend for FFMPEG

  • Tdarr can distribute compute to other nodes, so you could set it up on your server and have your workstation do the actual transcoding.

  • They really are the only worthy contenders

  • Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you

    Jump

  • That idiot would be better off just using a camera and capture the license plates...hell, they can even do that from even further away. Using the ID of TPMS for tracking is probably the least effective or usable way to track vehicles of the literal dozen of much better ways.

    Jump

  • Both over and under inflated tyres present a significant reduction in handling and breaking abilities of cars. Having the correct air pressure in your tyres is fairly important when push comes to shove.

  • Fuck that sounds like a place full of dangerously badly maintained vehicles...

  • Is GPS private?

    Jump

  • GPS is not the technology, it is only the US implementation of the technology which is called GNSS.

  • Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes

    Jump

  • Then maybe they shouldn't be using these tools in the first place

    I absolutely agree, they should not write articles with LLMs. I'm just saying they're not absolved of basic journalistic responsibility because they're instructed to use LLM tools.

  • Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes

    Jump

  • Sifting through information to find out what's true and what's not, before presenting it to the public, is a pretty crucial task and ability for an actual journalist though. It is probably one of the most important parts of their job to verify the correctness of their sources and what they write regardless of whether or not they use AI tools.

  • Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

    Jump

  • OK, none of these are supported where I live...so YMMV

  • It supports google play services, but google pay does not work on graphene.

    Jump

  • A larger and a smaller model would probably be ideal, if only one is made the larger one will likely have the biggest market success.

    Personally i would also like the larger model as my phone is my primary computer-device for daily life. A 4"-5" screen would suck ass for this.

  • Contactless payment will not happen under grapheneOS, it relies on google play services and integrity check. Graphene does have sandboxed play services, but it doesn't pass integrity check.

  • Actually making weapons, plastic or not, on school equipment is a whole other level of stupidity well beyond regular 13yo idiocy.

  • Man how fucking dumb are some of these kids...fucking printing knuckles on school printers!? (These will still break a jaw easily if used, and are illegal to even own in many places) Threatening another kid for reporting them for doing shit they're not allowed to!?
