There’s fucking off, then there’s what the government can do. It’
this is backwards. why can’t publishers mark pages as child-friendly and then browsers and operating systems can have a child-friendly mode that parents (or whoever the authoritarians are) can use. Laws can target people misusing the child-friendly mode.
It’s not about actually protecting children. It’s about data.
This is the correct answer. Notice that they have no compunction about punishing parents who secure gender-affirming care for their trans kids, but there has been zero discussion of holding parents responsible for their kids’ internet usage.
Far-right groups in the US have been crying “Big Brother” about everything for years because their whole plan has been to create a surveillance state where to gather information about dissenters. Every accusation is a confession with these people.
They’re using children as human shields while they attack our human rights.
The purpose is to protect the mainstream media.
Yes, the EU with their draconian and dystopian plans just go over our heads and do it.
All quiet and sneaky, no articles in the sold out press, only small specific outlets or sites that investigate privacy or tech.That’s what I’m thinking. There goes the Internet.
If this happens they should check ID at church too seeing as how children are much more likely to be abused or groomed by someone there.
See you guys in I2P.
Or ZeroNet
What a throwback. I was on there but then it stopped suddenly.
I was hoping it still lived on, and had improved bootstrapping and search.
Is that project still alive? Their git repo hasn’t been updated in years.
ZeroNet
What’s up on ZeroNet these days?
I don’t know what on there, but I do know that age verification is not on there, so…
What’s I2P?
It’s the name of the invisible Internet protocol.
It’s pretty much like tor, but more geared towards services hosted as hidden services. It doesn’t have a proper way to hide you if you want to visit “normal” websites.
But it has its own torrents and stuff :)
Oh neat!
Yeah, probably not.
What a failure of an idea.
Seems to me, there’s no real way to age verify people. This is pointless.
Want ID? Kids can just upload a fake one.
The app wants access to your phone’s camera, so it can use ai to assess your age? Well I don’t know for certain, but I’m 99.9% there’s probably a way to trick your phone into using a virtual camera, showing images of a middle-aged man.
What ever method of age verification, someone will figure out a way to trick it, and kids will be onto the trick very quickly.
The real goal is to eliminate anonymity from the internet.
It’s about control. They can grant you access or revoke it based on your id.
The powers at be hate that they can’t control the narrative as well as they used to so this is their solution.
They intend to tie a name to every keystroke
every
keystroke
Article is paywalled.
There we go again. The internet is already broken.
Yeah I tried to get archive.org working with it but no dice.
Thanks!
You must provide your age and DNA sample too
95% of the time reader mode bypasses the paywall and this is one of those times
Thanks babe
I will cancel my subscription
Fuck that. The future fucken sucks.
I’m literally now playing ps2 games on my modbo chip ps2 slim.
I played through Black for the first time this year on my old Fat with a sata hdd. How great was that game? It felt a generation ahead of its time, especially using the higher res display mode and the component video.
If you don’t already have a good controller solution, I highly recommend the Brook Wingman. I’m using mine with a Dual Shock 3 for the analog buttons (gotta have them for Ace Combat), but it supports so many controllers.
I bought the ps2 slim second hand. Then I personally did the modchip myself. Learning some more advanced soldering skills in the process. Now I’m able to play any game I want. But since it’s slim version I can’t use a hdd.
However, I can use samba share. Or usb (but could be slower, and bigger files needs to be split due to fat32 file size limitations). So I setup my samba share on my Linux server. And use OPL to load the games from my samba share on my ps2 using ethernet. It’s awesome.
Furthermore, I use a open source tool called OPL-Pc-Tools to manage my collection of games on my smb share. This tool also works great under Linux.
I’m trying to force 1080p output in OPL without success yet, but apart from that it’s all working now. Took me 1 week from soldering to Samba games ahah. As a bonus I now also have an advance JBC soldering station with multiple tips.
Now that you mention it, I’ve had mixed results forcing resolutions through OPL. But the factory ones you do with button combos always work great.
Ow actually I just got it working now. With my modbo v5.0. Using ps2 to hdmi adapter. I’m able to set the video mode to HDTV 1920x1080 60hz. So much better now.
I stopped using my hdmi adapter because it wasn’t looking as good as the component video. You got the 1920 to work? What version of OPL do you have? I might have to try it again!
Latest stable release, which is currently version 1.1.0. While I do have 1920x1080 60hz working. Just keep in mind that not every game has 1080, however even then when you are forcing 1080 you might get less blurry results.
See attachment image.
Oh, you can still get storage on the slim. I just did Gusse’s IDE resurrector on mine, but there is a better version out there now with much larger SD card support.
Glad I got a decent Xbox 360 collection.
Lol no
Time to buy Death Stranding 2 I guess
