No. The loss from ridiculous misuse is small but meaningful and basically worth nothing because typically “exposure” isn’t worth anything whatsoever. Worse it might convince some other assholes with the same strategy to specifically target your joint magnifying their loss.
It’s funny that you who have run nothing know better than every company.

Normal people should either buy a computer with Linux just like they would windows or Mac or google model of computer + Linux before buying.
Its weird to compare apples not only to oranges but to moldy oranges when this isn’t the actual user experience.
People who do continue to use Linux don’t just keep buying random hardware and hoping it works because they have search engines.
No onboarding process with randomly chosen hardware with hostile OEM is ever going to be good enough for people who are stupid lazy and cheap.

When I’m shopping for one I simply consider Linux support a requirement. Same as you don’t just buy Xbox games and hope that they work in your ps5.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 3 days ago:
Anyone can buy a computer that comes with Linux or a computer known to work well with Linux and have the same experience

He’s a huge racist and a trump loving MAGA. He isn’t getting hatemail for not liking Linux
- Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored... 3 days ago:
There are factual existing cases of someone being tried and losing months of their life due to facial recognition wherein the accused wasn’t in the same town as the crime. When the authorities are handled sufficiently gift wrapped cases here is bob bob did wrong here’s the video they often DO pursue them because 95% of such cases are a charging document arrest and plea bargain. In this phase we regularly ask people to choose between probation or a short sentence and being threatened with being punished with 20 years for defending themselves. Sometimes innocent people actually cop a please to avoid their life being destroyed.
Whilst in theory people may be entitled to a lawyer they may either not qualify because they aren’t poor enough or may not get actual representation without spending thousands of dollars people simply don’t have.
Creating a whole host of such cases could be a disaster.

Given any large database this is going to be a massive problem.
Did someone steal your package?
Do you want to know who did it?
Will you settle for knowing which of the 385 people in the country look like your villain? Some of them may even be close enough to be falsely accused!

Some people are not very social, are taciturn or sad by nature or circumstances. They don’t owe you “fun” they owe you doing their duty.
You are a terrible person.

- Comment on How long can someone physically walk for? 1 week ago:
It’s not about the average over time. You are required to keep a continuous pace. If you drop below spec you are given a warning. The fourth warning is a rain of lead in your body. You can lose a warning by keeping pace for one hour and you can accumulate addition warnings until mortality if you don’t get back up to speed after a given warning.
So with no warnings you have less than 40 seconds to live if you just stop.

Me and my wife both have desktop PC. The Windows version just has an installer as one would expect. The Linux version I used is the variety you just unzip in a directory and run from there which is about as easy.
I have configured each machine to have a stable IP on the LAN and bookmarked it and if we want to watch each others content we just click on the bookmark for each others jellyfin.

Now you can get arrested and kicked out of school and have your school career and college options ruined for following the strategy you did

Bullying is often in the form of low-level violence combined with verbal and other forms of harassment committed repeatedly by folks who enjoy it.
There is little hope of beating it at the same level of intensity and for reasons of culture and not prosecuting thousands of kids adults avoid dealing with low intensity harm between kids even when over time it is intolerable. Beating up the bully requires one to be capable of such when the bully may be larger and physically imposing and part of a group then not getting treated as the guilty party afterward for being the one who actually caused real harm as if the harm of years of harassment aren’t real.
Its great your solution worked for you but for lots it would mean bully and friends get to beat you without consequence and you get in trouble reinforcing the game.
Its quite frankly on average a bs solution. The actual one is to pay attention to who is a pos and kick the 1% worst pos to shit schools so 99% can learn in peace.

Leftwing extremists want to tax the rich and give everyone medicine but they are willing to compromise and just keep our existing broken system if others don’t agree… Rightwing extremists want to build concentration camps for democrats and brown people, punish gay people for existing, subjugate women and crush all resistance murdering people if they can’t get the votes to do it democratically.
Right wing moderates are ok with this and believe other people should be ok with them for going along with this.

the free AI service is literally a throttled version of the same tech with fewer options available its the same thing the idea that the free one is a mindless learning one and the expensive one is the real one is a fundamental misunderstanding based on nothing.

Encrypting internet traffic is a completely obvious innovation once the internet and encryption were a thing. You’d be stupid for suggesting this because privacy destruction is absolutely in everyone in powers interest AND has countless legit benefits that people are going to care about more than the downsides.
Do we want to know who the pervert is who is harassing little suzy or sharing janes nudes or threatening the government? Why yes yes we do and the easiest way to ensure we do is to destroy everyone’s privacy. A thoughtful balance is so much harder and requires so much intelligence and forethought along with giving up some benefits of absolute transparency that the chance of it happening is basically zero.
We can have the current broken wild west or 1984 because both of these are easy and comprehensible.

So no country in the world has such a system that actually protects privacy in practice

Which country anywhere has ever implemented a zero knowledge proof of age rather than using a id or information trivially linkable to an id. The answer is none have none intend to and none will its a complete fabrication to cover actual reality.
Nor is it liable to be limited to outright porno.

The truth is out there is what people say about big foot, the flat earth, UFOs, and lizard people.
You have to pay monthly for devices that access the internet at all. It doesn’t seem unreasonable that YOU not everyone should have to pay for something that is safe for your 8 year old rather than just getting your 8 year old an Ipad and wifi. This forum isn’t safe for an 8 year old.
Regardless, you have made no comment on the idea that I want it done with zero knowledge proof.
Because there is no indication that that is ever going to happen. Either nothing with happen. A few hardcore porn sites will get age gating because they want to do legit business whilst others hosted in other countries will do nothing ensuring your teen still finds boobs when he searches OR we will go full on 1984 and this will mostly be used to suppress the entire free and open internet in the US.
Your fantasy that this will be done safely is just an indication that you are stupid.

You haven’t demonstrated what harm comes from googling naked girl and seeing boobs.
If you want devices with parental control you will need to pay for them.
Devices like school computers already have such. This won’t stop a determined person from borrowing their friends phone and googling naked girl but that is a reasonable trade off honestly.
I don’t want to turn the entire Internet into 1984 so your kids doesn’t see boobs until he’s 18

- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 1 month ago:
Anything with a very low rate of true positives applied to a large population is going to have an insane false positive rate. EG a 1 in 7M issue applied to 70M students with a 1% false positive rate would produce 700k false positives. Worse people who are actually planning a school shooting may be more likely to avoid telegraphing their intentions. So you could damage 700k kids futures and traumatize them without even catching many or any of the killers.
