This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

      Y’all just cannot fathom how completely most people do not care until it directly impacts them personally.

        I remember when consumers had power because they refused to buy things. Tech has power because no one will go without. Don’t buy a new phone, computer, tablet, game. Make do with what you already have. Stop approving of everything Tech is doing by buying all their stuff regardless of the enshitification and spyware. Learn how to use cash again or whatever is necessary to stop empowering Tech.

          Stallman calls this “Service as a Software Substitute” (SaaSS): users operate weak “thin clients” while the real computing happens on someone else’s server. He argues this creates dependence and oppression because users cannot control, inspect, modify, or reliably access the software handling their data. He develops this argument in “What Does That Server Really Serve?” (2010).

            I’m burned out being online anymore. It was fun and now it’s not. It’s just stressful

                I just run my own internet now, completely restricted to my own hosted websites and services. With hookers and blackjack.

                  I think all this regulation will make the internet small again. The pendulum will swing away from this terrible direction we’ve gone in. I’m okay with it. Let them ruin it. I know that there will still be places to go.

                  Nice of them to push everyone to Linux.

                    My problema isn’t the age verification, but the privacy. But how to solve it the age without leaking data to third party servers?
