Is this not good enough?
- Comment on US operating system age verification bill "Parents Decide Act" gets published 1 week ago:
I understand it like you have to force the user to input a date, but I see no requirement that this date has to be verified by the OS to be correct?
And if a user enters a date less than 18 years ago, another account with a date more than 18 years ago has to verify that date
So, what stops a user who is not 18 just enter an older date?
Each app just uses the date set in OS as verification, which honestly is better than each app having to ask for the date individually…
Don’t understand me wrong, I don’t like age verification at all, I would prefer a bill that allows to flag a user as “kid” and allow/deny categories like social media, payments, adult content etc.
Like an extension of the admin/user setup we already have

- Comment on "At this rate, why make game art at all?": Nvidia DLSS 5 demands a sale damaging and stock tanking fightback, argues New Blood boss 3 weeks ago:
Games don’t cost more because of DLSS…
D-K after two sentences? Peak irony. - Comment on "At this rate, why make game art at all?": Nvidia DLSS 5 demands a sale damaging and stock tanking fightback, argues New Blood boss 4 weeks ago:
You can just not ship DLSS 5 in your game…
I don’t see any need to boycott this, especially not as gamers, as you can just disable DLSS 5 if you don’t like it.
I interpret this statement from New Blood boss as fear that their games without DLSS 5 won’t compete well against those with it available.
I don’t share this fear, as there was often new technology to art stuff more easy, like digital art, electronic music, digital cameras, higher resolutions etc.
It always made the traditional art style more valuable not less, as people are motivated to pay a premium for “authentic” art.So my conclusion: Art that is targeted at mainstream / big quantity / fast release cycles has benefit in AI and has to use it to stay competitive, but in the other hand mainstream art has always been live-less / unhuman anyway, so I am not very sad about this.
“Real” Art that is done by Artists for themselves not made to be like by as many people as possible will grow in value and maybe even get more popular again as people may get fed up from re-iterating art that works (e.g. pop songs) - Comment on Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement 4 weeks ago:
🤫Linux with Plasma does exactly this
- Comment on Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement 4 weeks ago:
I did win 11 install like this:
- Install windows
- On login screen create a throwaway Account (mine was somthing like noAccount253@outlook.com)
- Decline all the adware
- in Settings create new Account
- say you don’t know the ms Account of that user
- chose to set up user without ms Account
- upgrade new user to admin
- log in as newly created user
- delete user lonked to burner MS Account
Nice Little Side effect is, that like this, MS gets flooded with dead accounts 😁

This crackdown on nsfw stuff is just infuriating, like, do we not have bigger problems than making watching porn more complicated with no impact at all?
I mean, those who want to see porn, will still find ways and those who do not, are still triggered by normal ads being as porn as as possible to catch attention?
Who does accidentally see porn anyway?! Except on shady streaming sites that 100% still will show porn ads, as they host illegal piracy anyway and are not easy to block due to hydra tactics anyway as history has shown?
