• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European Union finds PornHub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos in breach of the Digital Services Act for allowing minors to access their services⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite stating in their Terms of Services that their services are for adults only, all four platforms allow minors to access their platforms by a simple click confirming they are over 18.

  That’s weird, I wonder why they did that? They’ve blocked traffic entirely from age-gated states. But in the EU they’re taking a stand of some sort?

  Exactly

  Who enforces space law?

  Probably because I didn’t say all. I clearly said most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Its in the small text on the top left. Play on Steam Deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A free VPN you can trust, now built into Firefox | The Mozilla Blog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just not true.

  Proton offers a completely free VPN that does not exploit you. I mean, it sucks, and the goal is to convince you to pay, but it is free.

  Further, most of the time, even if you pay, you are still the product. As in, they exploit your data nonetheless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the setup thing is important though. Things like setting up a local account are mandatory and super important. That’s why most Linux distros have something similar. I will agree that it should be skippable though, for advanced users.

  Great, can they call my employer and tell them that I need to work from home to save the environment?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IEA calls for working from home, driving slower and flying less to tackle energy crisis | Agency says consumer demand measures needed to manage Iran war’s disruption to global markets⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is IEA a conservative organization?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is black myth wokong a good game?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I played it for about 10 minutes. I did not like it for the same reason I do not like “soulslike” games: There is way too much delay between initiating the action and the action being taken, in which time the enemy launches a much faster attack, which you’re now vulnerable to because you’re mid-attack.

  I’m honestly at a complete loss as to how anyone plays these type of games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did we win?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its seems fine, other than the whole “coaching” thing. Like, nobody knows how to do this today, so someone will have to “coach” them through it, even if it’s Google themselves.

  But I would wait and see exactly how it’s implemented before calling off the resistance.

  It’s the same thing.

  A lot of people seem to be missing that none of this is being forced on developers. They are not required to enable this. If they have a way they intend for things to look, they can just not implement it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple quietly launches AirPods Max 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The headphones come with Live Translation

  Do they really? Or do they just play audio from an app on your phone, like any other pair of BT headphones?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes The EV We Want⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ford doesn’t care about what you want, they care about what people will buy. And people overwhelmingly do not buy single cab trucks.

  This truck is from a bygone era where they were used by farmers and tradespeople. These days people buy them as status symbols to commute to the office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Phone is an Entire Computer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember one time I had a coworker sit down next to me with her MacBook, iPhone, iPad and iWatch and that was an “aha!” moment for me. She had spent like 5x more than she would have if 1 or 2 devices could do all of those things.

  You’re literally the only person talking about exporting to the grid. This discussion is about preventing exporting to the grid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram quietly drops end-to-end encrypted chats⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t try to LOL

  But there is valid reasoning for it. The metadata is equally as valuable as the actual content. That’s why WhatsApp is so profitable. If more people are using it then it could be seen as worth the tradeoff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram quietly drops end-to-end encrypted chats⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The shocking thing was that they implemented it in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a very small system that won’t power much at all. Additionally I don’t recommend these “all in one” systems, as they’re typically more expensive, not as good, nor are they modular or repairable. Those are really if you need a “mobile” system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t know, moron. That’s the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey moron. How do you suppose the inverter knows that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but many inspectors and insurance companies won’t want you

  …why would anyone care what those people want?

  if there’s something that has the potential to start a fire, you need to have safety certifications

  No you don’t.

  If your solar system is off-grid AND off-building, I see no reason that you need to have a UL listed system.

  You’re missing the point. Nothing is stopping anyone from installing off-grid inverters (or any inverter at all) in an on-grid system.

  I would probably be suspect of their products’ quality

  Have you ever looked at “top sellers” on Amazon? Most people do not care about quality, they just buy the cheapest shit possible.

  These things are not the same, and it’s concerning that you can’t see the difference.

  I see the difference, I just don’t care. It’s concerning that you can’t see the potential for exploitation, both from corporations and governments.
