I FUCKING LOVE DITHERING RAHHHHHH YASSSS

I feel this law has the intent to damage and disrupt things in general, yes. Parental controls have existed for ages but lawmakers don’t seem interested in them. For example, all the porn bans, rather than forcing sites to use some sort of self tagging system that parental controls could easily see (like some response header) they just want them to take IDs. All of it is a push to forcing people to always be online transparently with their real identity well known.

You don’t need to be suspicious, they’re explicitly adding it because of that. They said as much. Look at what they wrote under “Motivation.”

Well, yes, but they didn’t say that, they said something that has two interpretations. I’ve gotten clients out of worse.

You’re saying that in a post age verification world though, my whole point is that if this were there before it wouldn’t seem bad. I’m not saying we should add it now because it would’ve been fine before.

This website says my device is less trustworthy because I’m using incognito and privacy focused settings. Fuck 'em.

The thing that’s frustrating is that if the age verification laws weren’t there and they wanted to add a birthday field it wouldn’t seem bad. Details about the human using the account like first and last name are already stored. All you really need is username. But because it’s explicitly in reaction to age verification laws we have to be skeptical about adding it.

Now, this Satyr, he asked if he could have your name and you replied by stating your name? Or did you say “yes” and then state your name? I see. I think you have a strong case that the Satyr stole your name. I’d be happy to represent you pro bono, do we have a deal?

I hate gyms so much. My wife’s gym closed and moved and they never told her and kept charging her. She got charged for months for a gym she literally never stepped foot into or signed up for or was told that her contract was sold to another location. And when she called them to ask about it they had the audacity to say they couldn’t contact corporate and that the manager was busy talking to the regional manager. You know, corporate. So corporate was literally there. Idk if there’s any sort of statute of limitations but I have half a mind to take them to small claims court over it.

Also Expedia. Stole money from us. The website said no credit card required but it was a lie. When my wife went to get the rental car they wouldn’t give it to her. Expedia wouldn’t refund her nor give her store credit for another rental. Even ignoring the false advertising, she didn’t get the rental. It wasn’t like something where some.kod accidentally buys something on some.game and you can argue “well you actually received the goods so we can’t refund you” because she literally never received the goods.

But I shouldn’t give this shit any mental energy. It’s ancient history. I’ve moved on. My mental sanity is worth more than the time I’ve spent stressing about it and the money we could potentially get back, but it’s hard to really believe that sometimes.

Guy who sells AI: This stuff is scary powerful and it keeps me awake at night. Nobody should be allowed to make this ever again. Make it illegal. Also, we can safely control it and use its power. Invest in us to use this useful tool. But nobody else can make a profit- er, I mean, do the dangerous thing.

In those videos Kirby is a genuine Christian and I don’t believe Kirby would ever believe anyone’s sins are unforgivable. I actually find Christian Kirby pretty wholesome.

SCP. Secure, contain, princess.

Genuinely, Mac’s track pads are amazing. Which is hilarious because their mouses are so bad. I don’t know how they messed up a mouse so much while mastering the track pad so well.

I always thought it was Hotmail, probably because my first email address was using Hotmail and that was sort of my first introduction to computing.

I remember the first time this did the rounds. Someone found a way to trick your eyes into seeing the other color. They flipped it upside down to sort of detach it from what you already associated and began by zooming way in on the part what looked most blue or white (the idea being if you normally see one you watched them zoom out from the one that looks most like the other). It was like magic. It was the only time I was ever able to see it as white and gold. It’s the sort of thing I always understood on paper (and even I can see the black part is sort of a very dark brownish goldenrod sort of) but seeing it was amazing.

It sort of reminds me of Outer Wilds, which I know is a weird reference. There’s a part of the game where you’re going over the scientists of old’s research and they find things going into black holes come out slightly before they go in. But they insist they want to actually see it with their eyes so they don’t believe it’s just a rounding error. The machine they have to demonstrate this is still working and sure enough you can interact with it too and see your probe come out before it goes in.

I tried asking it relevant questions about burritos and they wouldn’t answer those. They locked this thing pretty tight or this was fake.

I would argue that if you know your browser is stripping tracking info for links then the link you clicked on doesn’t have tracking information.
