discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[Asdman]

There is always gonna be someone who disagrees with your lifestyle. Chances are it's someone working for a large corporation and wants to make someone have a bad day. Yea I agree, stay away from anything that ruins your privacy.

Just to throw in my highly inflated 2 cents.
Since forever ago there was always a trade off between security and convenience. And sadly the general public does not feel security, but they sure as heck feel inconvenience.
So even before the whole insert ID to use the Internet, people always threw away their privacy for convenience. Hence why security minded solutions are few niches of niches.

So yeah, adding age verification can be as dumb as the OS asking you to pinky promise that this is your DOB. Or something that would make Peter Thiel wet. Just depends on far they will take it.

If age verification is absolutely a necessity for accessing certain online spaces, there absolutely ways that it can be done anonymously. For example, you could bundle age verification tokens with already age restricted items at the store like cough syrup and alcohol. no possibility of a data leak like that.

Never heard of soulseek. What is it exactly?

It's essentially a place for pirating music and audio. I'm not entirely sure if they allow other kinds of content or not, though. I don't think they have an actual website, so you have to use their desktop app, I'm also not sure if they have a mobile app. If they do, you'd have to get an apk cause it would absolutely go against the tos of any appstore i could think of

there would be a lively black market for these tokens then.

you can't check age without checking identity, any such attempt will have a thousand workarounds before legislation is finished to require it.
ask teens in australia about their social media laws.

I guess they have a forum on their website that you use to download the app, it's a google forum though, so i wouldn't use it, but it's cool they have one ig

yeah, but there is going to be workarounds for whatever method of age verification you could think of. Children could always just take their parents id out of their wallet for like 5 minutes to go access a site they shouldn't. Kids in australia verified their ages as adults with pictures of literal cartoon characters too. But at least this way there is no data harvesting.

Unless they remove the restricted stuff from the internet in it's entirety (which I wouldn't be surprised if governments decided to try), People that shouldn't access to it will find a way to do so

I got into 3D printing last year so I am not gonna spend any more money on overprice official stuff for a while at least.
On the other hand ... The last C'tan model look pretty cool

Good morning everyone.

Is it possible to change the number of post shown per page on this forum? Would make reading faster moving threads a bit easier.

Highly highly recommend Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Got a lot of heart. Great visuals.

To Your Eternity. You witness the journey of a being who exists as a pebble and slowly changes form. Eventually it gains a human body along with the joys and sorrows of the human experience.

Trigun: Stargaze. I love me some Vash. I dropped 150 bux on the old series of Trigun on VHS eons ago. Had to go to a mall 3 towns away to grab it. First and only anime I ever bought. Lent it to a friend, was destroyed, he never replaced it ...

Oshi no Ko. Fun ride so far.

MF Ghost, from the dude who did Initial D. We driftin' now!
