Linux is also ready to support age verification through systemd. Luckily, there are still distros without it, like Void Linux. I switched to it recently and now my media PC boots f…

I'd be totally fine to solve this problem by banning children from the internet altogether. Not that I'd enforce this or anything. Just so no one other than the parents can be liab…

Uses unholy amounts of CPU making my laptop's fans spin out of control. Editing is very slow, too. Not really a good impression of vim. I'm still going to recommend people to use v…

> people don't like the idea of being filmed in public, I don't think that this can be the main issue, given how nobody really cares about security cameras in public spaces or all …

It's so weird to me how people don't like these kind of glasses. They are basically a dash cam for your entire life. Seems like a pretty valuable thing to have. The only thing I ob…

It is indeed an infrastructure problem, but the infrastructure has to come first.

They provided you with one? My bank made me buy my own device. It's an online bank, so I'm not sure if using the app allows for better tracking than simply using their normal websi…

The existing designs are fine, are they not? Even if they only spent a single Euro on all of this, which I doubt, it would still be a wasted Euro.

There's a small but important difference between surveillance in certain settings (like a prison) and surveillance around the clock. There's also a difference between keeping recor…

You know how animals in captivity behave differently from animals living in the wild and why this is judged to be a bad thing for the animals? Humans under surveillance also act di…

It's a waste of resources to make something that exists worse.

You have to consider that people got paid coming up with this nonsense. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That is before looking at the new designs and how horrible they all are.

Linux phone is already a thing that exists and is at a point where it can be used by tech illiterate people within the confines of what is possible normally. It's just that few peo…

Currently my bank requires a device where I need to insert my card to get a one time six digit code based on a QR code the banking website serves me that the device scans. I'm not …

I always disable everything Google that comes preinstalled other than maps, including the App store. You can download stuff that you can only get there through Aurora, but really m…

I am fine with the "degraded" experience. I eventually gave up because I got served captcha loops instead of the actual site. All I need from an untrusted site is to read text whic…

EVs are great in, say, Norway. But the population of the country Norway isn't even half that of the city Tokyo. Less people means less cars on the street which translates to less c…

There's a lot of rambling in this article. The way I see it, if you cannot sell it, you do not own it. And if you don't get to own it, there's no reason to buy it. Been thinking ab…

I find it endearing that someone is keeping up the resistance against JavaScript. Used things like noscript myself since 2008 or so. Eventually gave up since nearly no website woul…

I won't even go there for search results, as new reddit is unusable to me. Too many clicks to get anywhere. It's quite surprising that so many people seem to have no issue with it.…

Looks like another stab at the free and open Internet, given how this is a path towards easier user tracking and surveillance on first glance.
