  Agreed my point was a larger issue obviously os age verification is nonsense

  I mean I get it, but regulations are sometimes necessary.

  Banning smoking indoors for example, you might say “Just don’t go where they smoke indoors!” well yea… Except that shit was everywhere where people were congregating and all you’d do is isolate yourself…

  A lot of regulation might sound like “just don’t” but if every kid around your kid has a tablet, and there is no rule against tablets, it’s only your kid who will be an outcast.

  I’m in general against too much regulation, but like vaccines, sometimes you have to target a whole group to fight a disease. You alone staying away is not viable.

  And all of this comes before we even talk about the MASSIVE disadvantage patents have against the mega corps, from the CONSTANT ads, to the targeted manipulation, it’s not a fair fighting field.

  TLDR The USA is the most powerful country in the world, and the world never prepared for a time when the USA would be led by a fascist asshole.

  I use restic too, just said zip since more people might understand it easier

  I use backblaze it’s like $3 a month or something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s crazy good for something FREE. Like infinitely better than any major crop google apple etc because you KEEP your photos. Anything you upload to the cloud is being mined by them.

  The only thing I tell people is that you need a cloud backup.

  I have an automated nightly worker that zips all my photos encrypts them with a 32 character password and then uploads it to a bulk storage facility.

  Yup, purchased myself 2 days ago. Absolutely deserve all of the support!

  I never understood why SMS is insecure, are you saying it’s easy to intercept someone’s number? How would that even work without the SIM?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can a US state block porn?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bans implemented poorly don’t work. And it also depends on what you consider a success. Can you ban anything 100 %? No, but that doesn’t mean some shit should not be banned

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can a US state block porn?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will just add how Republicans try to ban everything they don’t like, but when it comes to banning guns they are like “Bans Don’t Work!”

  The point is that Republicans never do anything in good faith. It’s always lies and hypocrisy.

  Season 4…was…absokutr garbage 1 was solid I enjoyed 2, 3 was fun because of soldier boy… Then the finale was like wtf… And the season 4 is some of the worst television ever made holy shit…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that the left, progressives, whatever… are usually more open minded and liberal so they bicker and find nuance in EVERYTHING. Which is nice… But also a massive weakness when it comes to building strong coalitions.

  The left is endlessly sub dividing… each group gate keeping harder than the previous… each one more white knighting than the previous with endless, useless infighting.

  Meanwhile the right is like “brown people are to blame for everything!”

  “Sounds, good here’s my vote…”

  I cancelled Netflix when they did the sharing bullshit and I cancelled prime when they wanted MORE money to not give me ads. Fuck that.

  However, you and I seem to be in the minority since these mega corps push one bullshit after another and people just bend over and go “please use lube this time…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The one compromise I’d like to see is for sites to have to provide keywords like in the robot.txt file that says what they serve. So let’s say a site provides porn or gore and a parent wants to block access to it, it should be a simple toggle on the router or browser or both.

  Anything beyond that is just bullshit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be easy like this

  I will make healthcare free for everyone! We’re going to have the best healthcare in the world and billionaires are going to pay for it!

  I’m going to start a federal drug program! We’re going to have the cheapest drugs in the world and no-one will have to decide between rent and their medication!

  I’m going to start a national Give Parents Freedom Act, where we will provide free daycare for any parent making under 100k/year! We will pay for it by cutting the military budget by 1%!

  In my first 100 days I’m going to sign the mothers are awsome executive order mandating 1 year of maternity leave for mothers and 3 months for fathers. Employers will not be allowed to fire any new parent.

  I’m also going to divert ICE money into a new consumer agency called “IYCIWFYU” (If you collude I will fuck you up) their entire mission will be to investigate corporations that are price fixing and stealing money from the people.

  I’m going to make digital Tax filing FREE for everyone and divert all IRS investigations into people making over 5 million per year!

  Instead we get

  I’ll try to pass a bipartisan bill to maybe fix some roads… 🤷I don’t know… We’ll see what Republicans let me do 😢

  What is even the point of buying a home in a HOA? You’re getting fucked by the bank on the loan and then by random dickheads about your yard… Might as well get an apartment at that point and get some rest.
