Kinderficker has been sadly relevant lately.

Beer

They won’t affect Android builds that aren’t Google-certified directly.

They’ll affect F-Droid in that most people won’t be able to install most apps from F-Droid without an obnoxious process and a waiting period. That will affect what people spend their time building and will likely result in fewer open source apps being created and maintained.

A well-run community will either be explicit about its age/karma requirement, or it will manually approve filtered posts from low-reputation accounts. I moderate /r/flashlight and we use the latter approach.

That takes work though. Some moderators are lazy, and some communities are understaffed. That’s not good, but it most cases it’s not malicious. It has fairly little to do with Reddit the company making money from advertisers.

I know who LockPickingLawyer is, and I know that disc detainer locks are hard to pick.

My point is that cloning keys from pictures also requires specialized equipment (or a file and a very high level of skill). The only real exception is standardized keys someone might recognize like the Ford fleet key. Those used to come up in an Amazon search for “police car key”.

opposition needs an argument

The argument is that it’s fundamentally a bad idea, not that we know a better way to do it. I realize that’s a harder argument to make.

Take porn for example. Above board porn sites generally try to comply with the law. They either perform age verification or block jurisdictions that require it. They verify the ages of performers. They comply with copyright law. They enforce rules against unauthorized deepfakes.

Sites exist which are hosted outside the jurisdiction of USA/EU/AU/etc… legal systems which do none of those things. On such sites, there’s a good chance of finding CSAM, stolen content, and deepfakes; I will not list any here. Driving teenagers who want to see porn from mainstream sites to poorly moderated ones is the likely outcome of a successful age verification scheme, and an undesirable one.

I’m not sure a video of someone successfully picking an Abloy disc detainer lock is good evidence for the claim that picking isn’t really an option when it comes to Abloy disc detainer locks.

I’ll grant that picking them is difficult, but cloning keys for them from photos is probably also more difficult than common pin tumbler locks.

That’s true, but most people with that skill can also pick locks.

Sounds like a decentralized encrypted messaging platform is needed.

Decentralized probably isn’t desirable for this use case; self-hosted is. When designing something for that purpose based on a decentralized protocol like Matrix, it’s probably desirable to mandate that the most sensitive conversations take place using a server with decentralization disabled and a client restricted to using only that server.

How to lose the civil war you’re trying to start in one easy step.

A 30-06 will have such massive deformation

The article describes a fragment, which is beyond mere deformation. That’s unsurprising with a high-velocity rifle round and would typically be impossible to conclusively match to the weapon that fired it. It could be possible to exclude a particular weapon (wrong caliber, obviously different rifling, etc…).

Between Firefox being its usual self and the 11.5gb of VRAM and GTT kwin_wayland is currently using, 32gb does not feel excessive.

Do you need a recommendation for an adblocker?

An app that could be a website and wants a huge intrusive set of permissions? So just like every corporate social media thing ever.

The TSA has little to do with the lack of hijacking since 2001. Secured cockpit doors and the widespread belief that hijacking means death are the main reasons it no longer occurs.

Under other circumstances, I might agree with you, but the guy built a bong into his dashboard.

That’s an impressive level of commitment to DUI.

You’re not wrong, and an open option might be an improvement over the current situation. On the other hand, it might encourage broader use of remote attestation.

I’m mostly disappointed that there’s no meaningful organized opposition. When Microsoft first proposed adding remote attestation to Windows, the New York Times called it out as oppressive. Now it seems like only hardcore open source nerds care, and I think the tech community should be doing better.

I agree with all the other comments: pulling out is not a birth control method, and you have a high risk of pregnancy in this situation if you don’t take an emergency contraceptive.

I find myself getting into these situations. What should I be doing differently?

Carry condoms. Insist on their use the entire time a penis is in contact with your vulva. Most men, even irresponsible ones will pick sex with a condom over no sex, and someone refusing condom use when you have one available is a strong red flag.

I won’t pretend to know what lifestyle choices are right for you, but condoms have a very good track record for preventing STIs and pregnancy.

I don’t like it. Remote attestation is a violation of the user’s right to control over their own devices. We should be pushing to eliminate it, not expand its use.

Anyone who was publishing to FDroid already is not going to be annoyed about the 24 hour scare screen for users.

Bullshit.

It’s hard enough to get people to step outside the Play Store ecosystem. Any additional friction will greatly reduce the number who do, and the combination of a reboot and a long waiting period is a lot of friction for the average person.
