    So age verfication to protect the children or to create a menu?

    source
    • Lag@piefed.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      To scramble and divide any organized communication just like they did Twitter and other social media.

      They’ve been telling “It’s for the kids” but it all makes sense now

    More and more things we give away because parents can’t be bothered to parent their kids. This is exactly how they win by slowly chiseling away our perceived rights until there is nothing left. I’ll certainly not participate in any Internet that requires me to shed my anonymity.

      Okay, this has nothing to do with parents parenting their kids. It has 100% to do with the perception that the internet is dangerous and using that perception to collect information about people. That’s what they want, to put a name and face to all interpersonal interactions so they can use them for marketing and law enforcement.

        Social media converted half of Americans into nazis in about a decade and elected Trump twice. If you don’t think the internet is dangerous, you’re insane.

        That said, it’s easy to keep kids off instagram and TikTok without spying. Simply require devices to which children have access to block half the internet. Problem solved.

    Wooooowwwww. It’s being used for exactly what said it would be~

    I know a lot if us are not even surprised the least, but i hope some of the head-in-the-sand naysayer motherfuckers wake up and learn something.

    When they say the images wont leave your computer. Its because they converted it to facial geometry. They dont want the images because they take too much storage.

    When they say they will delete it after processing, processing includes sending a copy to whoever else theyve agreed to share it with. Palantir, im sure here, maybe through an intermediary data broker.

    I deleted my discord account immediately when the news of this face-check-age-check broke

    Never forget that Peter Thiel knows about the antichrist

    source
    • badgermurphy@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It also seems he can’t shut up about the Antichrist, too.

      Spoilers: Its always whoever he doesn’t like that’s been in the news the most this week.

        A note to that, Thiel always says it’s someone who expresses empathy, compassion, or other similar sentiment.

      Because it’s him? That would explain all the kids he raped with Epstein and Maxwell. And being friends with Elon Musk.

    Why he is obsessed with Antichrist? He is gay does he think the extreme Christianity will think he is one of them?

    source
    • BanMe@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      Once you have a few million dollars, you aren’t gay or straight anymore. You’re just a person who fucks people. There is no community within him, there is no care or compassion for others, the queer community rejects him, he can’t be one of us even in name. He’s just a billionaire who fucks men. And they’re OK with anything that comes after “billionaire” by nature.

    Making the move to matrix, and hey it isn’t half bad. Convenience is a hard habit to break

    source
    • wewbull@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Convenience as in “it’s what I’ve always used and I understand it” or are you noticing some awkward aspects?

    Anybody here who have a good recommendation for something as simple as Discord with audio lobbies? I see all these recommendations for alternative platforms and software which mostly focus on the community/forum aspect of Discord, and not the things Discord was meant to be used for: talking with your buddies while gaming.

      Stoat has vc, but I haven’t had the chance to try it with someone else yet.

      source
    • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      I used Mumble before Discord was a thing, but the self-hosting a server thing got a bit old, and required me to keep my PC on at all times in case my buddies wanted to play games and chat when I wasn’t available.

    The Panoptocon’s actual architect was Bentham, but OK.

    AI is fascism.

    anyone who supports AI is a Mitläufer.
