  • Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well.

  • If you read this law bill in the strictest way, it makes almost no sense. It says that anyone who makes or controls an operating system has to check the age of every person who uses it. But it does not limit this to big companies. That could mean volunteers who help build Debian or even someone at home making their own version of Linux. The law bill would expect them to build a system that asks for (and verifies) a birthday before you can use the computer.

    It gets even stranger with websites like GitHub. If someone downloads shared code and uses it, the person who posted it might be seen as responsible. But they have no way to know who downloaded it or what they did with it. The law bill would still expect their system to check ages and share that information with app makers.

  • Men with higher IQs are less conservative, study finds

  • Options: More conservative or lower IQ

    Implication: Option #2

  • Not to veer off topic, but I always found this timeline fascinating: First straight line no frills flight was 1903. The first dogfight (with pistols) was 1913. The first [officially recognized] dogfight with machine guns was 1914. By 1915, forward-firing machine guns became standard, allowing for aggressive aerial duels.

    If only science and discovery was our species’ true priority :(

  • Would you keep seeing a doctor that required to you agree to the use of AI in your treatment to continue being a patient?

    Jump

  • This is the answer.

    Most docs can’t keep up with the mountain of paperwork or billing codes required by insurance companies these days. The software helps, but requires the doc to review and sign off the notes.

    It’s not an LLM coming up with treatment plans, etc. It’s transcription+

  • LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

    Jump

  • Well, I guess it’s technically installed software… but the scope is significantly less than what’s implied from the headline. My immediate reaction was, “how?”

    This is basically standard browser fingerprinting, hence why it’s sold for surveillance activities. Linked in is big brother.

  • The US president just instructed the USPS to seize any ballots cast be anyone not approved by the federal government.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I had the same thought. The order does say “from” any individual rather than “to” (i.e. when ballots are sent from voting office and addressed to the voter).

    Though cynical me doubts this distinction will matter when it comes to delaying/withholding ballots in either direction.

  • Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field

    Jump

  • This isn’t even malicious compliance. It’s just compliance. The owner of the system can set ages for system users. Smart people will set it to what they want.

  • US state laws push age checks into the operating system

    Jump

  • The only way this can be implemented at the OS level (not the vendor level) is to put in whatever date you want. That includes any notion of scanning “IDs”.

    If you want to setup a kid’s account on a phone or pc, then you have the control. If they are smart enough to do it themselves, then hey- don’t hold them back.

    My immediate concern is giving sites additional fingerprinting material. The OS better not give away an actual birthdate- when they can option for adult/not-adult, etc. Next concern is moving the age verification to a corporation, at which point the dystopia is real.

  • I’ve made up my mind I’m never clicking a headline that includes the word slam.

    Edit: okay maybe if it includes the word “body” first, and especially if it says “fascist” after
