You've accepted the overton window shift that age verification is an inevitability and that we need to give up information to the operating system because any other way would violate our privacy! It's naive to see this internation

What if I don't want my computer asking for my age and providing an API to give up that information? Why is the government mandating software devs to add bloat and privacy violating features to operating systems? The slippery slope i

Why does it matter specifically that Meta is doing it? This has long been a goal for intelligence apparatus and big tech: get rid of anonymity online to "fight terrorism" and sell ads respectively. Don't get me wrong, it&#x27

What are they going to do to enforce this? Take down open source projects that "operate" in Illinois because a user downloaded the software there? Absolute joke and everyone should treat it that way; advanced compliance here means

Not GP, but your appendix about LLM usage matches exactly how I use it too: mainly for rubber ducking and research. The codegen it's useful for (that I've found) is generating unit tests. Code coverage tools and a quick skim are m

A lot of our current privacy and liberty woes were exacerbated by 9/11. Can you imagine a Church Committee in 2026? Me neither. Three letter agencies have way too much power and they've shaped our culture+laws for the worse. Osama

I've always wondered how these types of "waived" accounts are coded in the backend. Are there flags in a table (i.e. first class support) or is it hacked together with duct tape? Seems like OVH is using the latter solution.

You still need legal standing for a civil case and the defendant isn't being threatened with jail time or men with guns. Yes, frivolous cases are a thing but it's both unlikely (because money) and not in the same league as crimina

What kind of demented people are running that school district? Who comes up with the idea to use LPR data and gets other administrators to sign off on it? It just seems riddled with edge cases that no one in that district would be qualified

Decent is fine if you're about to retire and want to avoid risk but I wouldn't recommend parking your wealth in CDs/bonds if your retirement is still 15+ years out, personally. The government has to print money to bail itse

2FA != SMS codes TOTP works just fine and you can save it in a password manager if you like. Email links don't allow me to use a keyboard shortcut to login, instead I have to open a new tab and click around for a magic code/url.

No, I don't remember anything about oil prices during Bidens term; no one bitched about gas prices or put stickers of his face on gas pumps or anything like that. Oh wait... that's all we heard about.

Productivity was never about the lines of code written. I thought the industry as a whole had collectively decided that metric was a joke before the age of LLMs. The bottlenecks are the same: office politics, coordinating teams, consulting
