“Please sign in.”


Well, I guess it’s technically installed software… but the scope is significantly less than what’s implied from the headline. My immediate reaction was, “how?”
This is basically standard browser fingerprinting, hence why it’s sold for surveillance activities. Linked in is big brother.


This isn’t even malicious compliance. It’s just compliance. The owner of the system can set ages for system users. Smart people will set it to what they want.


The only way this can be implemented at the OS level (not the vendor level) is to put in whatever date you want. That includes any notion of scanning “IDs”.
If you want to setup a kid’s account on a phone or pc, then you have the control. If they are smart enough to do it themselves, then hey- don’t hold them back.
My immediate concern is giving sites additional fingerprinting material. The OS better not give away an actual birthdate- when they can option for adult/not-adult, etc. Next concern is moving the age verification to a corporation, at which point the dystopia is real.

Oh- and if you’re looking for the right app, I highly recommend voyager.
Speaking of which. Imperialism.


Easy, just create a long heat sink and dangle it in the earth’s atmosphere. Now we are winning!
The cookies rejection process was literally five pages, and then it never went away. Screw that company.
For me audiobooks are key. I pour through them when doing mundane tasks, traveling, or just sitting to “read”. They aren’t for everyone, but also don’t let anyone tell you they don’t register the same way as regular reading. They do.
Downsides include resell (you can’t) and people around you not realizing you’re into a book the same as if you had one open. Also, if you zone out it keeps going without you.
I love ‘em though. I was never an avid reader until I got into the audio versions.


I live 70 miles from my nearest broadcast. I invested in a nice antenna and an HDHomerun years ago.
Otherwise we’re beholden to $60+ a month for the basic cable package to watch any sports or local news.
Screw that.


Well who is any one individual - or even a small group of outside individuals - to decide what’s “best” for the country? That’s why we have “for the people”.


Years ago Microsoft had its OneNote Notebooks as proper files, you could move and copy them and such. Now it’s nearly impossible to get your hands on a “tangible” file using this software.
During that transition- from usable to shit, I made the mistake of uploading my notebook, with all of my uears of course studies (college, professional certifications, etc) into onedrive. That way it could be backed up! A year later I moved my files again into a different system, moving away from OD. They were MY files after all.
What I didn’t know was that Microsoft had moved my Notebook somewhere else into their cloud, on my behalf, and changed my Notebook file to a shortcut/pointer object. There was no indication it was a shortcut as with other documents (the little arrow) on windows. It looked just exactly like the original file.
Well when I tried to open this “file” I got the rudest awakening: Microsoft couldn’t find the “linked” notebook. “What fucking linked notebook?” Apparently, when I moved my “file” (shortcut) out of overdrive, they saw that as a deletion and DELETED the now referenced file they helpfully moved for me.
All of this without ever a single notification; Microsoft deleted years of critical notes with no recourse for recovery. It was just gone.
Ass holes.
This is the answer.
Most docs can’t keep up with the mountain of paperwork or billing codes required by insurance companies these days. The software helps, but requires the doc to review and sign off the notes.
It’s not an LLM coming up with treatment plans, etc. It’s transcription+
