  • This statement is so banger for 2026 that I'm asking for permission to quote it.

  • Sounds like a skill issue on their part then. SDF can clearly do it. Also, you don't need to finance your operations solely with grifting your direct costumer, you can diversify with things like merch.

  • Because if your account requires continuous payments,

    It shouldn't is my point. Services exist, like SDF, where only one payment is required.

  • I meant Switzerland.

    Don"t trust Swiss companies. Neutrality doesn’t exist, it"s just a money game.

  • Come on we all know they didn't exactly have ethical issues taking all that Nazi gold.

  • It’s not necessarily “rent-seeking grift”, it’s often offered as a convenience

    What?

    How is having to pay in continuity, the more if using payment systems subject to KYC, a convenience over having to pay only once?

  • Proton handed over enough information to an agency of a fascist country to selectively target and disappear a person.

  • Something that could have been easily avoided if Proton provided a one-time pay option instead of rent-seeking grift methods.

    And no, crypto is not necessarily a good option. I can't, to my knowledge, buy crypto giftacrds with cash in any country in Latin America at least.

  • Half of internet drops dead when developer of npm package age_pad makes a typo

  • Which gives away the whole birthday because applications requesting the age bracket can memorize values and notice what day they change.

  • It’s not even requiring a date, just a number of years.

    Several posts in the mailing list thread specifically mention adding Y, M, D fields for DOB.

  • On the other hand, it’s one of the least intrusive proposals I’ve heard in this round of debate.

    It matters not, it's still intrusive, and it's the foot-in-the-door to demand more.

    If you let a nazi peek into your bar and stay, it's a nazi bar.

  • Canonical: "let's make age verification a DBUS requirement!"

    Omg, how can they suck so much! Next time I open that thread, I'm gonna surely find a proposal for systemd-ageverificationd!

    I think the obvious problem that those mailing list proposals are missing is that even implementing the minutest part of this law is little more than a "foot in the door" thing. Once the law is passed and a compliant vendor publishes, that sets jurisprudence so that Christofascists can update the law strengthening the requirements, such as adding a user photo (which IIRC account service already supports via $HOME/.face!), LGBTQ+ status, National ID Document, etc.

    The correct option in Linuxland is simply to WONTFIX, and if any California and Colorado corporate users whine about it, well, that's what they voted for. Wanna fix it? Kick your bad leaders out of office.

    My message to Ubuntu and all Linux distros is simple:

    DON'T OBEY FASCISM IN ADVANCE!

  • Terms of Use / Terms of Service are different from Licenses. That said, even if it was compatible that would be a good thing, as the impression I've got is that the "hard-liner" Free Software licenses are becoming a thing of the past now that what is needed is "Ethical Source" licenses, that eg.: restrict usage in AI.

  • My ulcer's stroke had an aneurysm when I read this.

  • If that was the argument, Windows would by definition below it in the survey anyway,

  • Converser.eu is being flooded

    Jump
  • I mean, from that perspective, sure. But if the main concern is lack of storage, SSDs currently are of no help with that compared to HDDs (let alone with production being shifted over to serve AIs and datacenters).

    Perhaps a dual SSD solution, but still would have to be planned with the potential outcome of either upgrading one of the SSDs or add a third one.

  • Any decent native client (Pidgin, Conversations, Gajim, etc) will cover most of the important stuff, so it might be worth checking who among those might be willing (+ people contributing) to track development after Movim.

  • Yup! And, if you are careful and lucky when picking your instance, you won't need to migrate in the short or medium time either.

    But also, like in the forums of old, nothing precludes you from keeping more accounts if it's useful (eg.: for keepig different topics or subs). I'm just too lazy to.
