Age verification is the label used for data collection. Forcing users to submit ID, means they, and the government can know who is saying they don’t like the things the government is doing. And where you were logged in when you said it.
Considering the row of tech ceos who payed millions to be in the front row of Trumps inauguration, that terrifies me.
- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 1 week ago:
Smaller local convenience stores in Canada, often had a CC charge added probably 20 or more years ago.

No, he literally didn’t just say that. He went on to say: “ The information I have confirms that she has experienced incredible trauma in her life, which is not her fault,”
Which was included in the short bit I copied earlier, and you just glossed over. Stop looking only at the parts that confirm the lies that you have been told.
- Comment on Canada Judge Openly Sentences Based on Race in Statutory Rape Case 1 week ago:
Yes, because your clickbait version of the summary made it sound like it was about race and not looking specifically at this person’s history and trauma and accounting for that in the sentencing.
When a broken society victimizes individuals, and they grow up broken and perpetuate that, punishing them harder doesn’t fix anything.

“We know that as a Métis-Cree woman that Ms. Dodding has a greater chance of being physically, violently, emotionally and spiritually victimized. The information I have confirms that she has experienced incredible trauma in her life, which is not her fault,” Judge Alexander Wolf wrote in a recent decision out of Port Alberni.
“It concludes that Ms. Dodding’s personal Indigenous sentencing factors, as well as all the other sentencing considerations in general, support (a) four-year sentence. However, I believe the sentence does not adequately address concerns particular to her circumstances as an Indigenous, or in this case, Métis-Cree, woman. In my view, after having considered all the circumstances of this case, I conclude that a three-year sentence of jail is appropriate.”

I think that’s a fair position.
But the browser is just an app like any other. Apps have notification systems tied to the OSs notification system. Each app independently decides what they think it important to take advantage of that notification system.
The OS should have a notification system that supports mute/deferrals, and other apps, games, media players or whatever else the use wants should use that system for the users benefit.
- Comment on Yo, fire fox what the fuck? 3 months ago:
I feel like it’s the OS’s job to provide the means to mute or defer notifications in certain contexts, and the games jobs to enter that context in full screen.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 8 months ago:
I don’t think that defeats it at all, it just changes the direction of the conversation and is as deeply philosophical as the first. Some might say life goes on with or without free will so it doesn’t matter, other say that the a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt, and could reshape society in very profound ways, so of course it matters.
- Comment on I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life. 9 months ago:
I’m not speaking from experience with the firefighters side here, but I do think it come’s down to the ick factor of smell is so much stronger than the yum factor.
Smell is how we know if something is safe to eat, so if its off even a bit, that jumps to the peak of our attention.Usually if you burn something a little bit, that’s the only smell you notice.
