They don’t have any monopoly. There are plenty alternatives and all are trash.

Just remember: Rule 34 exists for a reason.

Are there any cons to a guy being a dog girl? I think not.

Living good and ethically sound is a best-effort kind of thing these days

Normal people: I’ll just subscribe to stuff I want to see

This guy: I’ll build my own frontend and shadowban everything I hate - down to individual users I had even just one slightly unpleasant interaction with - for all its users 😡

Wth man. The thing instantly became a meme. Say ‘whoopsy haha’, make the banlist optional or remove it and tomorrow nobody gives a shit anymore…

I don’t get people DMing the dev either tho. Especially stuff like death threats (if that is even true) because of random BS like this. It is one frontend for Lemmy. Surely one can do without it.

Oh, really?

I think the protocol was developed in-house and only the code is open source? I think the protocol itself is not public to make it harder to spot, since its whole purpose is to dodge deep packet inspection

The whole privacy debate aside, why the fuck can we not agree on one age?

France wants 15, in Germany 13 was floated, elsewhere it’s 16. Wtf are we doing here

Theoretical CS is the most interesting stuff I have ever thought about. It’s fun to me the same way an interesting book is fun to read. Different from riding a rollercoaster - but not un-fun at all

Math is very interesting if you can take your time to understand it

It is an important topic - don’t wanna get your boy pregnant by accident. Thorough research is a must

I would actually love Proton to spin up a service for age verification that actually does just that. Be it only to see how fast governments start complaining when they tell them they don’t have any data on their users…

Because they are FA

Right, Russia only killed hundreds of thousands of its own people alone in an unprovoked invasion over the past couple years. Truly no reason for anyone to worry.

German forces are about 200k in total btw. (a fraction of Russia’s and Chinas in case anyone is wondering)

Das wäre dann ein FA-Bündnis.

Getting stopped, dropped and de-panted is either a great or a terrible evening. There is no in-between

I don’t want my stuff streamed to even a small company. I’m talking OSS and local processing. I’m mostly into it for AR with smartphone integration, I wouldn’t mind having no mics and no option to permanently store any images of that thing

Why would I? For AR you need mostly spatial data and you can drop the rest. Actual image data is more interesting for stuff like live translation - but it is well within my own interest to not have this stuff send anywhere.

If you want to avoid eyes and ears everywhere in genral, I have bad, smartphone shaped news for you

I’m all down for smart glasses, I just don’t want anything megacorp on them. If they are to have mics and cams, I want those for AR and voice commands, not to stream me taking to piss to creepy Zuck and his pervert friends.
