- 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:
I really should remember to put a huge “THIS IS NOT A VERY SERIOUS COMMENT” on most of my comments. I find I’m way too snarky for text based communication.
Anyways. I’m not saying parents should be punished because their kid managed to watch porn. I was just making a joke about how stupid everything is.
I didn’t grow up with routers and android phones. My equivalent of breaking into the router and changing the password was to climb into the paper recycling container to find Donald Duck comics but ending up finding porno mags.
The fact is, kids are always going to find porn. There’s just no way around it. If they put ID proof protections on the websites, they just gonna figure out torrents or some other way of downloading stuff.

I wonder why the EU didn’t find the parents of the kids to be in breach of whatever relevant child “protection” laws there are? I guess they are okay with the porn websites raising the kids. Maybe the EU can make PornHub to start a chain of day care centers?

Hear hear.
Its the only website in my adblocker whitelist.
- Comment on Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines 2 weeks ago:
Its such a weird thing to do. Especially when you click the translated link and it opens a page that is not translated. So if they think they are “helping” people who don’t know the language, how exactly does it help that they translate the title and half a sentence in the search results.

I love Ecosia because I love trees and will keep using them until I can afford kagi or something.
But one thing that drives me through the wall.. If I search something in my native language, because I want results that are in my native language, google/bing (which ecosia uses) decides to translate reddit posts for me and Ecosia slaps them to the top of the results. Its rather annoying.

Do you mean the picture of the woman, in an article talking about how this particular woman is AI generated?
No. It is not a real picture.

“Don’t worry about it guys, we didn’t poison the water supply, we just replaced it with sewage!”
- Comment on Google told staff worried about Pentagon AI deals that the company is 'leaning more' into national security contracts 2 weeks ago:
What do you think they are selling to the Pentagon?
Well, since google told me that they really care about my privacy and think its very important to keep things secret and safe… I assume they are selling Care Bears? Banana smoothies?

Yup. I would opt for the use of two phones.
And to be completely honest… Its a bit funny to see people complain about having to carry two phones. I mean I get it, its annoying. Buuuuut, back in the day we used to carry a camera, a cd or cassette walkman and of course the trusty old nokia 3210. And everyone thought it was the height of convenience :D Oh how times have changed lol
Aaaand now I sound like a old man yelling at clouds. I’m gonna go have a nap, I’m exhausted.
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is getting a free built-in VPN, with a catch 2 weeks ago:
Have you tried Librewolf or Waterfox? I switched to Librewolf about a month ago, after 25 years of using Firefox. Some people say Librewolf breaks websites, but I guess the websites I use are not affected since I haven’t run into any problems so far.
- Comment on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers 2 weeks ago:
I should really learn to not make these sort of ultimatum type statements.
Of course there’s some good things about it. But I’ve never been a spotify user, I’ve discovered a whole lot of stuff through things like last.fm, youtube and just music themed internet forums and IRC etc. So I wont argue that you can’t find stuff through spotify, but I’ll say that there are other ways to discover things, making spotify not necessary but helpful in that regard.
- Comment on Did we win? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, totally understandable.
I mentioned to the other guy how my dad got a dual-sim phone (not a shitty one) just by sort of mentioning having to carry two phones. I guess some employers are nicer than others :D

Yeah I wasn’t being completely serious with the “communism” bit.
- Comment on Did we win? 2 weeks ago:
Usually takes a few decades after a world war for systematic issues to arise from that stuff.
Huehuehue.
- Comment on Did we win? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I get the convenience of it.
My dad was complaining out loud to his boss, not requesting anything, just complaining about having to bring two phones with him when he was out and about. So his boss got him a dual-sim work phone lol. The convenience can work out that way as well :)

lol one of the first things I read here, after making my account, was that everyone should block .ml apparently because communism? I dunno, its all very confusing and new for me.
- Comment on Did we win? 2 weeks ago:
At that point you should tell your work to get a work only device for you… I always refuse to use my phone for work shit. I used to explain to them why, now I just lie and say my device is too old to have anything installed on it.

And then they wonder why everyone is fixing the hulls of their ships and getting new sails.
