- Comment on Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate 4 weeks ago:
Oh no I wholeheartedly agree age verification isn’t the wrong answer, I was just playing devils advocate on the technological side.
Parents should be parents, it governments shouldn’t be getting I. the way of you being just another ghost in the machine.

Who under the age of 18 will have money to buy these, and who would be willing to sell them for the pittance teenagers would be willing to spend?

Key signing maybe?
You get a cert which is cryptographically signed by your government. They can prove its signed with the governments root cert, showing that its someone over 18, but not who.
That being said the key identifiers will probably still be attached to you in some government db, just not on the porn site.
Though the government could force the pornsite to hand over any logged ids. Some people would say that’s private, as they trust the government not to do stuff without a judges warrant.
As a trans woman relying on HIPPA to not be put on a list of those on HRT, I don’t really trust that much more, to be honest.

Not enough to warrant uploads of your fucking license.
Also I really think its kind of goofy so many people are upset about porn when kids are exposed to violence in the media all the time.
Not that I think violent video games are the devil, my first memory of a game was GTA III lol, but I think seeing violence is probably worse than seeing sex.
At least if you take the American Puritan mindset out of it.
- Comment on Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins) 4 weeks ago:
The only regulated parts (I know of) are:
- receiver (considered the actual gun)
- suppressors
- autosears (or anything else that makes your gun fully automatic, or even act like it)
- big magazines (not federal but a lot of states have laws on em’)

Hard same.

Yeah but considering who’s in the government half of us will be hit with that designation sooner or later.

- Comment on Why does digital violence against LGBTI people in Thailand and Taiwan continue even after marriage equality? 5 weeks ago:
nationalize social media
Okay asshole, what about the social media that’s literally just servers running in some hobbiest’s basement?
Transitioning companies into co-ops would be a better solution as it gets rid of the worst of capitalism while leaving as much of the existing infrastructure as humanely possible.
Basically just send middle management and up packing.

Bullahut you did it to impress the other nosepickers, same reason these kids are doing it.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
HD/4K video streams eat bandwidth like a motherfucker. Gonna have to find some rich hobbiests for that.
I guess someone could start a nonprofit but you’re more likely to do that for the developers themselves first.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
Wouldn’t that count as a VPN, albeit one run on someone else’s machine?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
No I understand the benefits of open source software but this isn’t just a feature you can code in. Without portfords to the server, a VPN, or a reverse proxy, jellyfin would have to start hosting a service.
Is it technically feasible? I guess but seems like its both out of scope and not in the interest of the developers since the last thing they want probably want to get caught in is hosting streaming relays for everyone free of charge.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
I prefer a VPN for this sorta thing because its a bit more hardened.
Nginx is a good reverse proxy for my publicly available hosts.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
Oh yeah no you can rent out a vps and use it as a VPN/router appliance. I’ve done that before for other project, just figured it seemed a lil overkill here.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
People are saying switch to jellyfin, which I’m all for. But you’re expecting a service which will make remote access easy like Plex ur kinda fucked.
I mean if have to set up wireguard or whatever for Jellyfin you could just do the same for Plex?
Again go to jellyfin either way, proprietary software can suck my gurl cawk, but either way you need a VPN or open ports.
- Comment on EA cancels multiple projects from Apex and Titanfall developer Respawn with more layoffs 1 month ago:
God I’m kinda jealous of the guys who’re like 10-15 years older. Like at least Westwood got out a good amount of CnC games before they caught the knife.
Respawn was killed just as it was really finding its place in the world…
- Comment on Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement" 1 month ago:
Shame, probably the most widespread platform you can port ppc distros to.
If I and more time and energy it’d be neat to try and port something over.
- Comment on Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement" 1 month ago:
Its wild to hear it called miniscule considering Wii homebrew at its peak was as big as Xbox or PSP modding.
- Comment on Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement" 1 month ago:
Any pirate with a decent bon in their body will respect FLOSS license requirements, as they’re mostly their to weaponize the copyright system against proprietary software devs.
That’s fundamentally different to how corporations use copyright law. When you fuck over free software you’re fucking over the people who’re fighting fire with fire.
Lastly, many emulator/homebrew devs specifically rip their own ROMs and dont get involved in illegal distribution of ROMs to keep their projects legal. Lot easier to stick on a resume that way.

I’d say no but I also know what a hunt group is so I’m probably the wrong whipper snapper to ask.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 1 month ago:
Yea, let me throw this fuckin’ thing in there too:

Yeah okay, carry that amount of information in your go bag via physical books.
- Comment on A New Form of Verification on Bluesky 2 months ago:
So they’re centralizing their ‘federated’ social media even more.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
If you want your site reachable that’s fine, but if you want to operate as a legal business with a local operation and all that entails, you need to follow local laws.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 months ago:
I think the takeaway is “The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t the thing you should be pissed about when these tariffs are going to cause a lot more problems for way more people.”
- Comment on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened 2 months ago:
Oh no I’m aware of the resolution limitations as a first gen vive owner. That being said from what I’ve heard some of the newer high DPI devices handle this a lot better.
It’ll be a while but I think it will eventually have a practical use case as a portable workstation monitor.
- Comment on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened 2 months ago:
I mean if it did multiple virtual monitors the way vr headsets can I could see this being worth it…
Yeah they make laptop monitors but no ones gonna carry two 24" panels and a 30" ultrawide in their pocket.
- Comment on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened 2 months ago:
Depends the type. Some are essentially just a monitor.
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar' 2 months ago:
My PC is so backwards compatible it can run games meant for OS’s my OS’s main competitor, and their ancestors as well.
Better yet it can literally run those OS’s over things like KVM/Qemu and DOSBox.
