  • You're doing the same thing that the asshat in the video does. "Oh, what are you, some kid? That's not how the law works."

    It's called an ad hominem fallacy. Regardless of someone's appearance or stature, whether they look like a cartoon character who investigates mysteries (very fitting), that has nothing to do with their intelligence or the substance of their argument.

    You then use a whataboutism fallacy claiming "well, what if x y or z happens." Again, this distracts from the substance of the points being made and the evidence collected. We cannot control "what ifs." What if a nearby supermassive black hole emits a quasar that atomizes our entire solar system? That might make it harder for them to win the case.

    People have to protect people, as the videos show, corporations will fuck you and weaponize the justice system against you with overwhelming capital and former slave catchers will cover it up.

    I don't think there are many bots on here so I can only assume you're a capitalist propagandist or just severely and painfully ignorant.

  • What's the biggest misconception you think many people have?

    Jump

  • Conservatism.

    Just...all of it lol.

    Being hesitant to change and wanting to temper out things and make sure things are implemented effectively is one thing. And ensuring we respect tradition and culture is another (though progressives are more in line with that lol.)

    Today's conservatism is just hate and bigotry. And they don't even recognize it as such.

  • There are two types of politician.

    A representative and a politician.

    The former is usually of the working class and listens to their constituents, not corporations and donors. They're usually more progressive, they call out capitalist BS and they want to deliver for the people they represent.

    The latter is only concerned about appeasing their donors. Some may be more evil than others about it, but they all love fascism as it helps them make more money.

    We have a 2 party system but we mostly have the latter. Terrorists on the far right and fascist sympathizers in the middle. Gotta love "vote blue no matter who" up until it's someone trying to deliver for the people. They also love to yell and blame those who don't vote or vote third party when their candidate couldn't represent the people and it flips as soon as a progressive starts winning. Some even vote republican instead, fuckin wild.

    Make sure you vote for those who don't take constitutionally protected free speech cough I mean money from PACs and large donors. Does anyone really believe they'll represent you and not the couple of people giving them millions? It's a flat out conflict of interest if I've ever seen one, but one many voters are happy to look past for some reason (lack of education and introspection).

  • Does anyone expect an unplanned rapid disassembly?

    You pay people more and keep them working at their best by providing them with robuat benefits, time off, and job/financial security so they can account for, plan, and mitigate shit like this.

    But noooo, layoffs, and "don't tax me more, 40% of fed tax is payed by 1% of earners, which I'm not cause my income is 80K suckers! Work fast, break things, die faster slaves."

  • GrapheneOS is doing fairly well right now for my needs. And I've been getting and supporting as many open source, privacy respecting apps as possible.

    Honestly, it's been kind of fun and heartening to learn about all of these projects that people are building because they're passionate, driven, and want to help people. All without a stupid profit motive.

  • In the crossposted link there are some update videos they put out. In the latest one they said once part 3 is ready they'll upload part 2 on youtube and it should be in the next week or so.

    Part 2 is wild though...the police corruption is insane.

  • Absolutely we would, we're paying attention. Most people aren't.

    What I worry about is the longterm effects. Look at children who have grown up with iphones. Most of them don't know that other apps exist outside of their locked down appstore.

    What scares me is the normalization through the generations of the surveillance state. Remember what we used to call spyware? I'd hazard a guess that basically every corporate application could be classified as spyware given the amount of data they collect on a user. But we've largely stopped using the term.

    Chrome is spyware, but if you called it that you'd be met with "bro, what? It's a browser" or even worse "so? I need it to access the internet"

  • Linux is Getting a Free Pass on Age Verification in California and Colorado

  • Yet.

    But it doesn't need to be once the data exists, corporations can build their websites however they like once the data is mandated to exist. Think about how your browser, if not chrome, will often break/slow down on YouTube because google wants you to use chrome/have ads play on YouTube. Or how captcha will just sometimes break and force you to use a chrome browser (which exposes a bunch of data)...cause google again. None of that is mandated by law.

    Don't forget the legislation is funded by Meta. They want that delicious, scrumptious data that will help them legally avoid COPPA and target/collect data on child accounts and get them addicted while young.

    And I know we will. We're cool like that.

  • I imagine that, while good on the surface, the apps that will then require the age information called from the OS will just reject any platform that doesn't provide it, essentially segregating the internet.

    Which, adding more and more friction makes it more likely that users will just give up and submit to giving up their privacy.
