  • Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support

    Jump

  • most people can get behind parental control. that is why bad actors are pushing for age verification everywhere nowadays.

    i think the issue many people have with that field is, that it enables bad actors to do things. all the while, it does not really do the thing it is supposed to do: if i trust my kid with sudo, the field can easily be altered. if i do not trust my kid with sudo, it cannot install anything either way.

    with your last paragraph i (and probably most people) agree. but we already have those tools, right? at least until i knew computers better than my parents, there was no way i could install anything without them being OK with it. even when i was admin on my very own desktop, i was heavily reliant on the parents for everything costing money. yes, even my dumb ass figured out how to pirate stuff. but to do that while being afraid to brick your precious device with some virus - you need some tech literacy, which is for sure beyond changing one value.

  • BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit

    Jump

  • what is the reason to put that tool into a browser? if i use the thing on my private computer, it increases complexity compared to a local installation (not an issue for many ppl here, but for my grandma surely). if i use it on a corporate environment, wouldn't more employees use it if it was the default PDF viewer on their managed device?

    what did i miss?

  • ;DR blame the dev

  • I have to write so much boilerplate code to make sure my objects are of the correct type and have the required attributes!

    That is the trap that, sadly, my company fell for too. The POC was written in python. very fast i might add. but it was only that: a POC. if the whole backend crashes due to unexpected user input - noone cared. if the frontend displayed gibberish because the JSON made wrong assumptions about not defined data types - sweep it under the rug, don't do that during presentations.

    but if it came to building a resilient system, which can be shipped to customers and preferably maintained by them (with minimal consulting contract for access to our guys)... we cursed the way python worked.

    Jump

  • if you run into the same problem again: use a soaking wet cutting board and knife. use the back of the knife to push single spaetzle over the board into hot water. dont forget to re-wet before putting the next load onto the board.

    obviously the thing OP suggested is much better. but i am certain you make better progress than with a juicer.

  • Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books

    Jump

  • again displaying, that DRM only hurts legitimate users. a pirate has never had the problem of backing up, moving or sharing his library...

  • Also a good option to have these "blocks" synced over multiple accounts. I did not think of uBlock Origin at all. Thanks for the Suggestion!

  • That would be a great feature. I highly dislike the algorithm YouTube & co serve - as it is designed like a tar pit, just to keep you scrolling.

    But a Human curated list is basically like getting recommendations from a colleague.

    Block communities by name

    Jump

  • I like the "All" feed, as it allows some new content. My Subscriptions are somewhat smallish and mostly used for focused reading. I am just used to get rid of a certain topic with maybe up to 3 blocks (I don't think there are many communities, which distribute over more than that many instances).

    You are absolutely right, trying to tell people what to post and consume online is an absolutely absurd idea. the trick is to figure out how to find your couple of topics.

    My current way of getting rid of unwanted topics is for sure not ideal. But most of the time it works just fine, when browsing randomly. Maybe i will get bored at some time and actually write a script. Thanks for the hint with https://lemmyverse.net/communities ! Hopefully i will remember to post the script here (if I ever get around to it) so others could profit from it. It seems like there might be a tiny audience for that :-)

  • i think they got the tomeline wrong... as far as i remember nazi germany offered simmilar deals to jews before forcefully deporting them.

    lets not talk about what happened after deportation. if the us gov is so bad with history, it might give them ideas...

  • exactly what i am talking about. age restriction at the physical store kept you away for a while, while not forcing an alternative/underground market. however, if you knew the only way to get it is on an alternative store - you would immediately have looked there.

  • if you can run a private server, you can get rid of all 'phone home' requirements.

    so you just need a cracked copy of the game itself. luckily it is completely legal to remove digital locks on anything you bought in many countries (not the usa though).

  • age verification is just a BS strawman. do you remember when we where young? we would access stuff and find ways to buy stuff. but whenever there was a reasonable but fair gap, it would be much harder to get whatever we wanted: buying weed was so much easier, than buying alcohol (without the appropriate age).

    pirating is easy (even i figured it out before having enough money to buy movies & games). so the kids will just pirate that stuff and get their way anyway. age verification at the store makes so much more sense. sure, there are ways to circumvent those. but it is a reasonable stop block.
