“Better” than what, and how, exactly?
OIDC still needs you to trust one of the parties. Who should I both trust with my age online, and would be fine with letting know where and when I’m trying to jerk off?
There’s no doing this kind of thing “properly”. One absolutely should fight against idiotic laws.
Of all three, Google has the most skin in that game, for what it’s worth, IMHO. They’re an advertising company first and foremost, and it shows in all of their products’ feature sets and privacy policies.
But we also can’t trust either of them lol
eventually we’ll need to figure out proper age verification and identification for some things
Don’t we already have identity verification for many sites where our personal identity matters - banking, government stuff, etc? For the rest, it’s like trying to change the color of the sky cause we don’t like blue. Short of a fundamental protocol-level change of how the internet works (won’t happen any time soon), or adding a centralized level of control like China’s Great Firewall and/or forcing ISP-level censorship on top of outlawing VPNs (you’ll probably be hard-pressed to make a good argument for this), controlling what one can access on the internet just won’t happen.
Also not sure why anyone would think it’s a good idea to hand over our personal information to random websites, even if just for “age verification”. I can’t even trust my bank with my data, giving it to random commercial sites that have all the incentives in the world to track my consumption habits and link them to my personal identity would be utterly idiotic, porn or not. Hell, we’re already doing it with Facebook or Google tracking us across the web, now we want to be required by law to give them our ID as well?
It’s a typical reactionary play to attack the surface of an issue without addressing the root problem. For this particular issue, blocking porn access on sites that will comply will just make it that they’ll find their porn elsewhere, that’s all, while ignoring the underlying education issue. It’s a smoke show that literally doesn’t address anything.
Any law is only as effective as its level of enforcement. I have a hard time understanding how they think they can regulate access to porn on the Internet. If anything, if legitimate, more mainstream sites get more difficult to access, will our youngsters really stop their Google search there, or will they just click on the next link that just won’t have age verification, with potentially much “worse” porn than what they’d have watched initially lol? Did any of the countries that implemented age verification already really see any significant impact?
Yeah, maybe not on Lemmy. The downvotes are indeed there though.
Didn’t say otherwise
There will be people to call you an antisemite for this
With 38% of our federal politicians having real-estate investments or being landlords, and the rate of ownership amongst canadian politicians being twice as high as the general population… They literally have skin in the game.
I have a weird relationship with that. I have older cousins (late 40s, I’m in my 30s), and younger cousins (younger than my youngest sibling). Can’t say it ever felt like what this article describes haha. I was also quite solitary and liked playing alone. Even preferred it, many times. So yeah, hard to relate with that one…
So, what you’re saying is, it’s pretty much on character for PP lol
Sometimes I forget I’m not on /r/aboringdystopia
Oh, you don’t have to convince me of their objectives. They just used to be less… upfront about it, not so long ago.
Modern Canadian conservatives aren’t the tame fiscal conservatives we used to have indeed. This violent steering of the right wing towards social conservatism is worrying as fuck, and should be for anyone but hard traditionalists. It’s insane to see anybody who cares about Canada support Trump in any way with how he fucked us over and over.

Yup, M is for “mille”.
Their very existence in our capitalistic market would heavily raise my suspicions as to what they do with my traffic not to be immediately running at a loss.
I have a feeling you’re talking about the TTY. You can’t use the mouse cause there’s no graphical interface to begin with. You’re in “pure” console mode. It’s probably why fonts look weird too. It’s probably just not running at your monitor’s native resolution.
As other people said though, it’s pretty much expected. Servers are more or less expected to run “headless”. You’d typically SSH in rather than plug a monitor directly in the machine.

That’s what I meant. I’m perfectly open to believe it, but it’s also the very first time I hear « righteous indignation » carries this particular pejorative subtext, and I can’t seem to find a source substantiating the idea that it means petty anger.
Those systems are getting worked on regardless. It’s not either/or. Fight the bad ones regardless.
