surprisingly, it’s actually not… there was a study a few years ago before Trump suggesting that fissle material that cannot be used in a dirty bomb and was targeted at energy production, was far more availible if you appeared to be a educator or in the education sector…

not that I’m suggesting anything, but from a purely human discussion standpoint, in the age of AI and deep fakes. the only reason this hasn’t happened is people don’t want to risk it.

generally speaking those with the means, generally are benefiting from the corruption ATM.

the law wouldn’t hold up in court anyway. its not practical for any ecosystem outside online sites.

accounts and users are the same thing, despite what the law says. it also doesn’t different a person from a user, meaning a compromised system that is complying with the law, its actions represent the user, and the account holder is held responsible.

its made to absolve meta/Microsoft/google from their actions in targeting kids with intentionally addictive content and making the “account holder” at fault.

they will anyways. first person that gets found lying or disables it, they target the distro.

the law was written to make compliance the metric for dissidence. all “users” are minors. identities flagged as not a minor is a lie, as users cannot be minors only “account holders”.

it’s not written to support the Linux ecosystem. it’s specifically worded to exclude and target the Linux ecosystem if it tries to comply without using meta/google/Microsoft to handle accounts.

are you sure it’s even a person, not a bot? because this all screams either bot or seeking internet fame as the “hero to kids”.

because it’s all part of a larger project to collect usable data. you can’t force standards, but you can force laws.

if you build a standard and no one follows it. then it’s wasted time and money. Meta, Google and Microsoft all have a vested interest in user data. more so with law enforcement buying it in bulk to build identity profiles of /individuals/.

if tomorrow they got added to the law to store and transmit a string of your government ID, would you be more resistant?

the issue is, VPNs hide your ISPs assigned IP. till now there has been a higher difficulty in differentiating traffic from the same IP with similar metadata. the more user specific metadata that’s added, the easier it is to differentiate devices and users.

this makes targeting specific devices with malware for spying significantly easier. at the very least.

but at a bigger point of view, it gives provable cause because the way the law is written implies every user that installs the OS becomes a OS distributor and every user is a minor by definition, even if the API flag says otherwise.

I recommend you read that again and if the words “probable cause” don’t come to mind you don’t understand the risk of a “minor” identifying as a adult.

yes. every time in the history of gnu software when a function is added without a purpose its for a later feature.

otherwise there is no need for the form? since when do we leave empty forms in software that can be used to store strings, that hold no meaning…

only two uses for this. to implement the full API later or to have a string the user normally does not see that becomes a perfect place to store malware. full stop.

complying with the API is a act of absolute stupidity…

not really, the law is written that complaince makes you complicit. every user is a child. there is no adult users.

it’s a really messed up law…

above all else, even if the API is used properly, unless it’s giving false positives, it creates a metric that can be tracked to form patterns. these are all a advanced method to identify individuals to unmask online identities…

depends on how it’s declared and transported. as there is classes for each type.

surprisingly, I believe jewelry and personal goods is the lowest tax bracket. which technically applies to alot of things even electronics.

obviously every nation is different, but you have to be careful in how things are declared, otherwise they may be just flat out rejected because it wasn’t bought inside your nation. (censorship controls apply to imported goods like media, toys, magazines, electronics goods, and household items. it’s best to treat each thing not as what it actually is but what it’s made from to avoid refusals and overtax due to poor import system that blindly denies.)

there no benifits to this. extreme bacterial contaminations and mold/fungus concerns aside, there is simply too much unprocessed food available that goes unsold and is wasted as a result to ever need to recort to this.

it’s not a ecology issue, there has never been a shortage of “food”. when people say there is a “Shortage of food”, what they mean is there is a shortage of food /given/ to them.

it’s a economic shortage of food. they do not have enough wealth to acquire food and therefore they are not getting any. greed is the reason there is so much food wasted. not at the table, but at the market.

governments should be subsidising the poor and supporting their food needs by taking excess from markets at value, not margin.

as soon as food starts the process of production, before it even hits a preparation or cooking surface it has bacteria on it. nothing is completely clean.

freezing, washing and cooking ingredients reduces these or makes them go dormant. but it does not get rid of them entirely.

when it’s plated and served, that bacteria is already stating to revive and reproduce. by the end of a meal, between all the new nutrients from the human body added to the plate from the utensils, the leftover food is a breeding ground. this is why leftovers are generally considered risky if not handled properly.

you simply cannot reliably disinfect them and the only things you can do is store it in a chilled environment to slow bacterial growth and reheat to aid in killing some but not all of that new growth off.

if you start mixing these together, the salavia, which is unavoidable as spittle occurs whether you notice it or not, and trace amounts are on your utensils from mouth contact. plus any airborne contaminants from the person are in the food.

it basically becomes a Petri dish. as it’s a perfect microcosm for bacteria and mold…

we used to grow mold, yeast and fungus by spitting on potatoes and rice. to later harvest it. we understand it well.

not op, but I assume they are vegan. many vegans have the misconception any product from a animal is violence against them. as they cannot consent…

but the truth is, no vegans live on farms… they don’t understand chickens lay unfirtalized eggs regardless.

they also see the breeding programs of chickens as violent as it’s for producing meat/eggs. so by raising chickens you are perpetuating it… but that’s stupid. that’s like seeing a hurt dog by the side of the road and saying “if we help that one we have to help all of them”. baby chicks are often given away not sold…

and a lack of companies with ethics. shipping companies often make massive profits. there is nothing stopping them from shipping donations for free…

it’s government backed, their for the government knows every time it’s used and it identifies you…

when a service requests to use it, it becomes correlation data… this is data both the government and the application developers can use to identify you on the internet.

It may mean nothing today, but I can and will if either the application switches developers to a nation who uses this information for nefarious means. or if your government changes policies to something intentionally nefarious.

blind trust is never good.

it’s almost as if global markets should see the US markets as rogue and cut off their value. treating all US stocks as void.

would solve the problem overnight.

my life partner, had a coworker suddenly die in their sleep, for no decernable reason. they were 32 and in near perfect health. exercised, are healthy, had good work/life balance and didn’t use drugs…

reality’s is cruel, there is a reason billionaires set the retirement age so late…

live today, tomorrow is not garuanteed. that’s why they are working you to death today.

media, used to store, transmit, and deliver information.

food == nutrition + dna. nutrition is the various vitamins, nutrients, fats and enzymes the body needs to maintain cellular function and repair.

food == a media for delivering nutrition and DNA information to the human body. 😵‍💫

while I can’t speak on most of this, I will say the most relevant words I ever heard on the subject.

“If you can’t predict what some one will use your ideas for to harm another creature. you should never share it as you cannot mitigate it by design”. no matter what you make, some one will turn it into a weapon as the desire for weak, small people to supplement themselves through violence is ever present through human history.

greatest weapon of all time was the pen. it’s not mightier than the sword at violence, but can silence a sword in a single stroke.

meanwhile I’m overhere with…

keyboard, mouse, camera, 4x flash drive, game controller, ebook reader, external storage disk, printer, VR headset, multimedia card reader, LED controller, my monitor (USBc display + hub + KVM) and my phone…

ofcourse not all at the same time. but I have a mess of USB extensions and hubs as I don’t have enough root Ports lol

(Linux not hacintosh) I apparently couldn’t run it if I wanted to.

“so a typical PC motherboard destabilizes the system” you don’t say. Steve jobs killed the external Macos program they had for GSeries and m68k Mac’s when he came back saying internally “if you let competition thrive you cannot drive demand”.

so I think we can guess why it’s hard coded lol

this is going in some ones bum. it might not come back out again without a enema or surgical intervention. but some one will, you mark my words.
