- Comment on European Union finds PornHub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos in breach of the Digital Services Act for allowing minors to access their services 1 week ago:
And what do you think happens when big platforms have to introduce age verification? People will just go to smaller unregulated sites which may inadvertently be worse because of malware risks and unregulated content. You just can’t take the porn out of the internet, people always find a way
- Comment on From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rules 1 week ago:
Honestly I would much rather long term have decent Linux for phones, as AOSP derived programs will always rely in some way on google code. I would prefer having one large FOSS Linux ecosystem

But why do they never accidentally wear each others shirt or something.
- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 1 week ago:
Good thing my Uni doesn’t have attendance. Although I still try to attend all lectures.

They have a tool called advanced privacy that tries to block in-app trackers. Adblocking is more a browser thing but the preinstalled browser does have it (although I use uBlock on Fennec, a Firefox fork). Theres really not that much to learn most things just work. The only thing you need to know is that some apps that rely heavily on Google Play Services might not work properly. For example Google Maps does not work (but the Webapp does or you can just use CoMaps or Osmand, something OpenStreetMap based). Generally I found the switch to be pretty easy. My banking apps all worked fine but I’ve heard some people have trouble with theirs. The App Launcher is kind of iOS inspired but I didn’t like it that much so I just swapped it out with Kvaerisito.

Thats why flatpaks exist for those kind of apps and sandboxes are very much possible on linux (even if not widely used for normal programs)
- Comment on From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rules 1 week ago:
Yeah, it won’t affect you really. /e/OS is based off of AOSP and Lineage and the devs can just choose to keep it like it currently is. I haven’t really found a source for it but since theres like no official play store, and the lineage community would just patch out whatever google introduces (If this even reaches AOSP) I don’t think this will ever bother neither of us. The real threat comes from FOSS projects dying bc most Android users still use proprietary android
- Comment on From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rules 2 weeks ago:
Thank god I run /e/OS. I just hope this won’t hurt the popularity of sideloaded apps too much, as this might mean FOSS apps becoming stagnant because they don’t receive as much attention anymore

- Comment on I built a local AI movie recommender for Radarr using Ollama 2 weeks ago:
Sorry OP that you’re getting downvote bombed. This is actually really neat. People go nuts when they hear AI but this is fully local so I think this reaction is unjust. This has nothing to do with ram prices since that stems from data centers or corpos pushing AI on you. Thank you for sharing
- Comment on How to install Windows on your Steam Deck 3 weeks ago:
Even in some usecases I find AI to be whatever people go nuts over any use of AI. Like I hate the pushy AI thing but I also dislike people who hate on AI every time even in valid usecases

- Comment on Would submitting a criminal complaint against Trump and his administration too the ICC for war crimes be a waste of time? 3 weeks ago:
They call it “American Service-Members’ Protection Act” but thats definitely not what this is. What a disrespect of international law. The big powers have always taken out more right but still. I knew they didn’t accept the ICC but to have such a law passed is ridiculous
- Comment on France bids to suspend Shein over childlike sex dolls 3 weeks ago:
Ofc you frame it that way. Most people on here are just against banning things where there’s A, no victims and B, no real way to determine age. You’d have to ban drawings the same way if the characters appear childlike. How is this enforceable. By the opinion of whoever is looking over something? The article specifically mentions weight and size but I don’t think thats sufficient in itself.
- Comment on Meta will shut down VR Horizon Worlds access in June 3 weeks ago:
Damn it always seemed just like beta software to me when I used it on my VR headset
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Damn which one is this? The one in the middle? If so thats quite recent bc I follow his content and his pc build is pretty new. Crazy conspiracy theory nutjob content in there. Its a pretty huge red flag since it aligns with the patterns in his edgy phase (during which I didn’t actively follow him). Makes me sad to think I might have had a lot better image of him as a person in my head as what he really is. Thank you for informing me
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Yeah like how many years ago was that? Lets just believe people can’t better themselves and hold things against them forever. What an awful reality that would be
- Comment on System76 on Age Verification Laws 4 weeks ago:
Just forbid any user from any place that has these laws from using your OS through your ToS but don’t implement a way to check who uses it.

They already do that, just not as frequently. They change price tags of items every day by hand

Just buy ebooks from sites that don’t fucking you over in the future. If you already have a kindle its annoying but pocketbooks and other eReaders are right there.
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 5 weeks ago:
They probably have been working on a potential agreement with openai for a while now. They just hastily finished it in response to anthropic. But I don’t know if they will keep the red lines anthropic has demanded in place
- Comment on An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification 5 weeks ago:
Good luck trying to strongarm foss. Forks and backups included. Also making all linux servers illegal. This will totally not be circumvented. Get lost with your law. Let the parents do the parenting instead of overreaching on mass surveillance and trying to end any form of online anonymity.

No not really. They’ll just find another company who will build them machines that kill without human intervention.
