  Only if you run for president.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey after I fight tooth and nail, write opinion columns, write to all politicians I have access to, and create petitions, if all of this wasn’t enough, what else is there to do?

  It’s not a sure thing in Canada, and maybe a party further left will vote against it and oppose it, in which case yeah I’d vote for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was talking about Canada, should have mentioned that. Carney brought up that he wants to look at the issue, and God damnit I will fight this thing or at least the version that’s going to put all of our data at risk.

  If it passes anyway, then I cannot in good conscience vote for any party who approved age verification like it is done in the UK, Australia, and some States.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In Canada our cons are dumb, but not brain dead like the US’.

  I don’t want to vote for them.

  But once age verification garbage enters the picture, I become a one-issue voter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not American lol

  I’m saying they’re poisoning their own well with garbage like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also Canadian lol. The point I’m making is that if it has me thinking like this, imagine people who were truly on the fence.

  They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

  As they should. Host it in a non-hostile country, it’s quite simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m usually left of centre, even a bit more to the left than that.

  But all these liberal places passing these laws… They’re making it difficult not to change teams.

  I don’t watch conservative mouthpieces on YouTube, just the literal reality of these badly thought-of, privacy nightmare laws… All a conservative would have to tell me is they would revert this, and I’d be hard pressed to vote otherwise.

  They’re not getting the memo are they…

  Lenovo also owns the Motorola phone brand, and they’re going to adopt/allow GrapheneOS. I think they know how to grab customers right now, and I honestly like it.

  The UK government is so god damn dumb.

  Linux is the only reasonable choice anymore.

  Sure, Jan.

  If they cancel the show earlier they can’t pretend to be impartial, and Colbert gets paid the rest of his contract without having to do any work.

  Plus they’ll be in the real news for a week lol

  I hate microslop as much as the next guy, but using OneDrive for government stuff isn’t exactly evil. Though they gleefully took the cash is still nefarious-adjacent.

  For me it’s as long as it’s not Discord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stoat.chat seems to be a more likely alternative. I love matrix, but I don’t think it can replace Discord. Not yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some options:

  Use Steam groups, which has almost all the same core capabilities (voice chat, push to talk, image and other sharing, etc.)

  Create a teamspeak server if you have the know-how.

  Create or join a TeamSpeak server.
