- Comment on US may force operating systems to have mandatory age verification, share info with third parties 3 days ago:
If they’re serious about it it will eventually be made into a requirement for serious services. I could imagine federal regulations requiring online banking, accessing government services (including school-related services), and maybe even ecommerce and payment processing looking for this trusted info, and refusing to run otherwise. Like TPM on steroids.
- Comment on Palantir posted a manifesto that reads like the ramblings of a comic book villain 3 days ago:
This post had me in a bad mood all day, so I spent some time trying to understand who this guy is, since he’s essentially being paid to spy on all of us now and has the ear of many, many elected officials.
This post is a synopsis of his book, which is a call for post-liberal, pro-American-power, anti-decadence, and defense-tech nationalism. Not exactly MAGA, not exactly neocon, and not exactly centrist Democrat, but basically saying: “the republic needs warriors, engineers, and belief.” It’s like if you took W40K and shrunk it down to a global scale.

Vizio, take the hint and open up your full stack. Become the hacker’s TV. We’ll write cool stuff that you can use for free (like you’re already doing) and we’ll get to shut off your shitty telemetry in our own firmwares.

I’m going to mod my regular glasses with a couple of ultra-bright IR LEDs and hope that these cameras do a crappy job of filtering it out.
