@Gonzako Shameless plug, I made an extension to try and bypass this on some sites! Free and open source too.
I don’t want to protect my children. CHECKMATE TECHBROS!!!
Now when we apply to jobs in the US, we have to agree to a privacy policy that says we agree to phone spam when they share our data to third parties.
I hate everything about this timeline.
They’re just open about it now. For 10+ years I always noticed how my telemarketing phone calls would go up almost immediately after I applied for a couple jobs.
Spam calls increased 10 fold when I started applying.
Some jobs ask for your social before you can even submit.
I hate it too.
Lol sure they can do that and then Optery can remove it. Use capitalism to fight capitalism.
I was so enraged when I went to go log into the retirement system website (state employee) and I had to sign up for fucking id.me to log in. Ridiculous bullshit. WHY? Who the fuck is going to log on and look at my retirement statement? Not like I can actually retire any time soon with no health insurance fuckers
Why can’t we just create physical, one time use tokens and sell them at gas stations and convenience stores for the privacy minded? Show your ID to the clerk to get the token for whatever platform you want to use. Problem solved.
Because then they couldn’t track your online habits and use it for profit.
Hi sir,
5 pornhub tokens please And shi gimme some rule tokens as well…
I meant like a general use token not tied to any specific platform.
Yeah, but I would still rather buy pornhub tokens at the gas station than upload my id online.
If you’re already buying condoms you might as well buy Pornhub tokens too.
Yeah, I have sex and watch porn. What about it?
I just saw this cover image in the Testing Yet Another App for Lemmy community. What a coincidence—I found it pretty funny when I first saw it, and now I’ve run into it again here, lol.
I would rather jack off with my mind and meet people IRL if this idiocy continues.
At some point there’s an endpoint to enshitification, at which people say FU I am going to live in the forest now. I am pretty close.
I’m there if it wasn’t for fucking property tax.
I can’t wait to read the explosion of breathless media reports and “expert” commentary discussing the sudden spate of compromised ID systems and the subsequent finger pointing between politicians blaming each other for this entirely foreseeable outcome while the professionals who kept raising concerns have their uncredited “I told you so” moment.
I would be less concerned (still not buying it, but…) if pedophiles we already know about were prosecuted. How about putting them in jail before looking for more ways to protect children? What about the rest of Epsteins pedo ring? Are we supposed to think that was just the work of two people?
I’m all for protecting children, but we could do so much more even without sacrificing privacy.
They never cared about children or the victims or anything they cannot use politically.
Here in the EU they are again trying to have client side scanning called chat control. They said it’s against pedos, it’s absolutely not.
the epstein pedo ring is rich people. they are immune from prosecution, no matter the crime. they are not even really into children, they just fuck them because they can and there is shit you or anyone can do about it.
the only pedos who get prosecuted and are considered criminal, are regular ones without money or connections. because they want to fuck kids out of legit compulsion rather than as a ‘fuck you’ to society.
I can’t wait for the day the whole wide world holds a class action suit to get some of their “ID” money back. “A” sells to “B” sells to “C”…where is my cut?
If the FBI doesn’t know I am the man sneaking into the houses of children and filling their bladders with quik-dry cement, then God help those incompetent dweebs, for I am the reckoning God sent unto this Earth. Have you been to church recently? They can help your children from becoming like me, or if you need Jesus, they can help you too.
No one can help me. That’s why I drink and huff xylol based paint thinner like my handler in the CIA taught me.
Are you u/impractical_island?
Who is that I don’t know who Epstein’s boss is, what are you talking about, that’s not one of my alt accounts nor is this another one of mine? Go have someone sit on your face and forget about lil ol me, unless you wanna talk about our lord, Jesus Christ, and also, his dad, who will fuck your shit up if you don’t talk about his invisible penis once 'n a while.
None of that’s a thing.
Some of it might be, but the dazzle camo prevents you from seeing who the dogs amongst us are. OG sorcerers too
And through the dark of night, swine will flare their nostrils at the dog beds our masters put their own children into! Muahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha!!!
See anyone can say a bunch of weird shit. It’s not interesting…
Where’s the body of work you’re promoting?
The satanic hip-hop Bible of the so-called narazene. He was an imposter but I am the real Christ-corpus-in-dendum. I am within all the buttholes of the hellhounds who jump the fires of mordoriburg and the catnip satchels of the blessed bicycletas! See!! I am the true spirit of wanking and praying!!! Muahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha you Jesuits will never catch me, for I am all and none and here and there and left and right but never cool or hot!
Muhahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaha
That guy gets me!!!
Corpus reminded me of In Italian
YeSSSS! This is my screensaver on my other phone. For I have been looking forward to seeing the khaki colored lesbian police officer kick your dick so hard that Jesus cums in your eye. Hell yeah bro.
Reminder to everyone that Discord is pushing out ID Verification any day now, and is already selling all the data and discussions on its platform to fascist surveillance company Palantir, most well known for recent AI-Powered Civillian tracking system “Flock Cams”, owned and operated by Billionaire Peter Theil who helped reelect Donald Trump.
That’s why I moved to Stoat and at some point in the future plan to self-host.
Thanks for the reminder, I needed to put my stoat and fluxer info on my discord profile.
does stoat have audio notifications yet? 6 months ago when I tried it that was my dealbreaker.
I get notifications on my KDE desktop but idk for anything else. They only recently released their mobile version, so there is still a lot of work being done behind the scenes.
I wish stoat consistently worked for me, it didn’t so I switched to matrix
I’m old and not that bright. Stoat?
These are the names of services that provide channels with customized text chats and video or VoIP audio calls. Stoat is replacing Discord which replaced Skype which replaced the more rudimentary early applications of the 2000s and 90s such as Mumble. There are also business-oriented softwares such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams with different features.
The word can also refer to a small furry animal.
Thank you!
What is Discord? /s
I have a hosted Matrix serving sitting around for this reason. Trying to get folks to use it is another story 😢
I’m still trying to get people onto signal instead of RCS.
I’m hoping that Fluxer will be an easier option for my friends once the mobile apps are a bit more polished. I tried to get them to Matrix, but the experience just wasn’t quite smooth enough.
Yeah it’s rather jarring for those coming from discord. For us old goats it’s a bit more palatable, kind of like IRC+++. But we aren’t the median user.
I’m a bit worried about Matrix + Element because of some supposed ties to Israeli Intelligence organizations.
Oh? I’ll have to look into that. That’s enough for me to consider something else altogether.
Yeah, the day ID verification is rolled out discord will see a huge drop in numbers. Maybe not enough to end discord, but enough that they won’t have the revenue or data sets to sell anymore.
Ah yes. Because I made my 10 year old discord account when I was 5. You got me guys.
Most of the age verification laws are written fairly openly, probably so the verification companies can come up with all sorts of crazy anti-privacy shit.
However that also means some companies have done the opposite. They can use other methods of verifying age, like common sense. Your 10 year old account alone is enough to reasonably expect you to be over 18 for instance, you probably weren’t under 8 when you made that account.
Most aren’t going to bother with that though, it’s simpler and easier for them to have a third party violate your privacy.
Ok.
Once had a scammer tryna catfish me in a similar way.
Some time into conversation other person randomly mentions “by the way, I do webcams, you can see here [website]… and yeah, it will ask for credit card data - but it’s just to keep kiddies out”. 🌝
