flandish

you open the acct with id. no need for the app to verify age.

and in the US, as ab example, the gov is actively targeting citizens and noncitizens without the required warrants.

so yeah. assume the worst and prepare accordingly.

Codeberg for the win.

curious - as i have only worked in the data pipeline side of research and cohort generation - is it not ok for a researcher to cite their prior work if said work is post peer review?

WHAT?!

was hoping the reference was going to be recognized. :)

pro tip: there is no such thing as a fully private app or communications channel unless you are face to face with someone and in a Cone of Silence™.

can a debit card be created by someone under 18? ie does a parent have to do it then give johnny a card? can a bodega owner sell a prepaid to a minor, and can prepaids be used?

just wondering where up the chain the responsibility lies. i’m all for corps being held to task, but also parents. if i handed my kid a phone it was my responsibility.

now he had phones that he acquired. i saw them. so i know it is largely irrelevant my thoughts on chain of concern.

in short: this is a terrible tar pit of gov horseshit sold in the “protect the kids” camp but really is “build a bigger fascist state db…”

if a phone is tied to a svc acct like a telco provider- age verification should be automatic as THAT provider cannot open an acct for a child.

here is the only line that matters: “hinder its ability to compete.”

that means “to profit.”

reminder: all corporations, everywhere and in every industry, care first about profit. everything else is about how it relates to or alters profit. literally every word is a goddamned lie, sold to help protect profit.

also their logo looks like a butthole. who does that?!

when will we get a linux based phone that is not android?
