Does Bill Gates count?

Wisconsin "porn" websites will just move out of Wisconsin.

The bill reads like you would think from someone who's been talking with the ceo of an age verification company. The bill gives the website two options: use a _commercial_ age verification product tied to gov't id checking, or "digitize" the web user's gov't id.

The Return of Clippy.

First they came for the suicide forums...

"...scammers obtain sexual images of a user, often a teenager, under false pretenses and then blackmail them – ... was becoming commonplace on Meta’s platforms"

There you go U.K. OFCOM. Here's child endangerment propagated knowingly by Facebook. Don't worry, I know you won't do anything to Facebook because you "protecting" kids is pretext.

Saying "I'm sorry for how you feel..." is the most condescending way to begin. Then a "let's jump on a con call"... oh... why would I do that when I just told you? smh.

Happiness is relational. The meta-study (i only read the small abstract) concludes that being around happy people correlates to your happiness. Anecdotally, really "smart" people can be about the least fun people to be around.

Sounds like Wikipedia is turning into reddit.

Many moons ago, we used to run a full application level http proxy firewall. It didn't last the year. False positives were a headache and sites would just send shit down the pipe and browsers would happily power through.

I don't hate postel's law, but I admit I try not to think about it lest I get triggered by a phone call that such and such site doesn't work.

Who knew shaking a juice box could be so intimidating!

People are perfectly happy with a walled garden. The question one should always be asking is what is the difference between that and a panopticon? What happens to me if I start seeing faded flowers and no-entry signs? Can I escape? With my stuff or friends or family?

If false positives are known to happen, then you design a system where the image is vetted before telling the cops the perpetrator is armed. The company is basically swatting, but I'm sure they'll never be held liable.

"Drive by Wire"? This is not even anywhere near a "bike". At least you could argue "e-bikes" could still be pedaled without the battery. It's not that anybody would want to or even could, but an argument could be made.

If the UK is serious, they could ban entry to the 4chan owner(s) or even arrest them upon entry, so it's not something to just ignore or laugh off.

The steelman would be that knowledge is possible outside the domain of Science. So the opposing argument to evolution as the mechanism for us (the "general intelligence" of AGI) would be that the pathway from conception to you is not strictly material/natural.

Of course, that's not going to be accepted as "Science", but I hope you can at least see that point of view.

True. Back in the day, the mates and I would greet each other by saying, "Hey, fuck you." Then, "No, fuck you.". You can kinda guess it eventually ping pongs louder and funnier. We kind of had to stop when other innocent people would pop in and ask if everything is "ok".

Even the requirement of a security email contact in a readme is a liability put on the hobbyist. It's antithetical to making code available "as is".

Greg KH says it's going to be great... let me ask, can I /dev/null the email Greg?

Well, if I was CEO of Boeing, first day I'd basically be Microsoft and move heaven and earth getting the Dave Cutler of aviation (I have no idea who that is). He's in charge and if you don't like it you come to me.

Second problem are the MBA's. I don't have a solution for that, other than keep them far away from Cutler's division.

Honestly, the technical part is "easy"; it's the day to day politics that gets in the way when what is needed is longterm thinking. Take for example when NYC hired Andy Byford and Cuomo The Child couldn't stand not being in the spotlight. Shame.

Yes, I was hoping to check out ladybird browser project, but they use discord.

So in my area, believe it or not, there is experiments with uber-style point-to-point pickup/dropoff and electric car short term "rentals".

The few flex areas are small and I've never tried the electric rentals.

Every once in awhile I do use the bus system to check out how things are going and I get how depressive an empty bus is... I was just on an empty bus to the airport (which I have to take two routes to get there, another tough negative to solve).

It's not only text. Images and videos are obfuscated to make copy/downloading harder.

Looks like the 'number of the beast' isn't a number; It's a smartphone from Google or Apple. Who knew?

Not all who wander are lost. They may be just walking in circles.

Does anyone know how to force disable DoH on a network?

In https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/canary-domain-use-appli... it says that the canary domain does not apply for users who have made the choice to turn on DoH by themselves.

I want to avoid running an sslproxy, and it seems an application level proxy on the firewalls is necessary.

I wasn't opposed to buying a tesla. In my situation, I don't have the ability to charge ev's conveniently, so I'm not in the market so to speak.

Plus, I'm not interested at this time in the "autopilot" "AI" stuff; I believe drivers should be responsible all the time, until such time that full legal liability is put on the manufacturer.

Don't get me wrong... I would love to call my car to come pick me up at the airport!

After reading the article, I am never buying a Tesla.

Props to greenthehacker. may you sip Starbuck's venti-size hot chocolates for many years to come.

Just now, I just watched a France24 news presenter ask Grok about crime in DC. Shake. My. Head. I kind of feel like we're headed for something... not good.

Three wind projects got scrapped in NY and I always wondered if there was some alternate hidden reason. It does seem though that it was just costs and technological shifts that made NY cancel them...

Venmos's security is also A++. I made an account, sent some money, then my account was immediately flagged and closed for fraud. Nice.
