JFC did you even read the article you linked to. What’s the point in talking to people hyperventilating so hard you don’t read your own sources.
Even proposals that may not explicitly mandate age verification

How do I come back at someone pointing out i can’t/don’t read and am hyperventilating over laws that don’t exist outside of my mind? Call everyone a fed.

WTF are you on about?
Incapable of reading comments and engaging clearly in serious discussions.
I’d be happy to engage in serious discussion but you’re working on Alex Jones level, veins throbbing over an optional field in systemd
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 2 weeks ago:
With ID verification and other methods of age verification you absolutely can unmask users online if states demand APIs be implemented.
Good thing there is no ID verification in the PR.
You sound like a narc btw!
You sound like Alex Jones!
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 2 weeks ago:
the vast majority of Linux users vehemently reject?
I think you vastly over estimate the importance of the reddit/lemmy-sphere freaking out over this.
And the more insane the slippery slopes you imagine skiing down, the less seriously you’re taken. The fact that there isn’t a serious programmer making a fork and instead y’all promoted a slopfork from someone who didn’t read the docs, should be a wakeup call for how unserious y’all are.
If it’s the vast majority of Linux users, how come there was not one that’s read the systemd docs?
I honestly don’t care that much about the law eitherway but the hyperventilating over a milktoast law is something else, it makes me think maybe we should age gate higher.

Redditor going full reddit over a law that they haven’t read and a pull request they barely understand.
- Comment on What's going on with the Systemd age verification stuff? 2 weeks ago:
the users and maintainers of Linux itself, the systems that make up Linux, and even the maintainers and contributors to many Linux distros, who are real human people and not faceless corporations, think following unjustified laws is unjustified
They do? Sorry but this law is a nothing burger I don’t think I’ve seen any serious contributors to serious distros say anything about it that matches the tone of Reddit/Lemmy posts or single maintainer distros.
Hell the systemd fork being slop by someone who didn’t understand the existing systemd ratelimiting really excemplified how reddit the whole circus is.
- Comment on What's going on with the Systemd age verification stuff? 2 weeks ago:
The AI was the slopfork written by one of the hyperventilating redditors.
You pretty right except the California law that the systemd change was in response to doesn’t do verification it just returns whatever age bracket is stored.

- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 3 weeks ago:
True, if we repeal Citizens United, then the worst recalls go away.
But the bar should still be much higher than it is in CA, Oakland just had its mayor & DA recalled over fear of crime, while violent crime was declining rapidly and before any of their policies could have an impact anyway (recall efforts were started on Day 1), I don’t think I’ll ever be convinced recalls are a good idea unless a grand jury can be convinced of meaningful corruption.
- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 3 weeks ago:
People don’t like politicians, billionaires can pay people to stand around in street corners and get schoolboard representatives recalled, even if it fails that that’s a ton of money the union now has to spend defending a person that was democratically elected just months ago.

- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 3 weeks ago:
My point is that in November he will try shenanigans and people will need to take to the streets to enforce the results of the election.
If he failed to steel the elections in November his days will be numbered.
The outcome of the elections is less important than the willingness of people to defend them, when he sends in the FBI to steel uncounted ballotboxes in purple districts.

In November he’s going to try and steel the election, if we effective block that, his days are numbered, so get organized locally.
Sorry lone wolves, you had your shot and and all your incoherent takes achieved was a poll boost for him. L

How it is now but a little better.
Some stuff boosters claim it can do will actually be doable (it might actually be able to write decentish code for example, which TBH is just taking what it does now and wrapping it in some basic checks to make sure the code works and they aren’t hallucinating shit).
It’ll be widely adopted in its accountability dodging function
oh oops we bombed a school full of girls, it’s not our fault AI told us to)
oh we burned the company to the ground by firing the people who actually for work done, AI’s fault
Etc
But I don’t know how widely it’ll be used if users start paying the actual costs instead of all the AI companies being subsidized by investors losing money.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 3 weeks ago:
I’m sat in front of my work computer(OSX) and may personal laptop(Linux).
Both are using well over 8GB just for the browsers.
On OSX vscode is using an additional 4GB and the windowserver east up 1GB too
On Linux/KDE my window manager is much lighter but for some reason my akonadi is using 2GB on my contacts resource
Sure you can technically run Linux on much less memory but a modern browser, hitting modern websites will use up 8GB pretty quickly.
