I think it going to be folks like you, who choose to say “Fuck it, we ball”, rather than get up and go to work.

Or someone whose fam was kidnapped or murdered.

Its gonna pop off.

Everyone has a right to be wrong.

Seems pretty Grok-y

Oh this argument is just a meme and I’m here to enjoy that. But also KDE > Gnome, no question.

Gnome is the reason it took me so long to like Linux for daily driving, because it was the default DE on the distros I was trying. Thank goodness for Fedora+KDE Plasma. If someone else likes it, good for them - I like that they are using Linux.

What? No… that is wrong.

if you think about how little the average person knows

Average person… on the Internet

The leopard of consequences is hungry for tech oligarch faces.

Eat, you majestic creature. And godspeed.

Because they dont have a single, fully-qualified penis amongst them all to use to convince anyone.

Sub-penis is the best they can threaten with.

Wooooowwwww. It’s being used for exactly what I said it would be~

I know a lot if us are not even surprised in the least, but i hope some of the head-in-the-sand naysayer motherfuckers wake up and learn something.

When they say the images wont leave your computer. Its because they converted it to facial geometry. They dont want the images because they take too much storage.

When they say they will delete it after processing, processing includes sending a copy to whoever else theyve agreed to share it with. Palantir, im sure here, maybe through an intermediary data broker.

I deleted my discord account immediately when the news of this face-check-age-check broke

Yep. Too late, i fucking deleted that shit without hesitation or regret.

I use it daily, but I’ve now deleted my account and will move on.

I dont put up with this shit.

Control the conversations in the digital third spaces. Crush ideas, punish those who are a threat to “authority”

Yeah I hear you. I just dont think the pressure is actually building on them for that rn.

People’s attention is on higher profile issues in that arena and it looks like those cases will go on and on without resolution.

Imma call it a 100% smokescreen for Discord, but absolutely you know the only possible reason they might ever care to do anything to deal with the problem (which this new measure does not)

Translation: we wont age verify you or collect the biometrics if we already have what we want through other channels (federated SSO, data sharing agreements)

Your facial geometry wont be needed if facebook already has it and your discord identity is linked to that one(through your permission or not)

No. That is an issue for all online social spaces to contend with. It wont be solved by blocking mature content servers/channels.

“Won’t someone please think of the children” is the pablum that you will accept so they can monetize your biometric data with the data you create and consume on their platform.

You really think they give a shit about kids safety?

Ok. Well I will delete my account then.

This kind of enshittification is intolerable. The reason this exists is solely to tie your online behaviour to your real life identity.

“They” want to control people’s conversations in the digital third spaces. And to find ways to punish you for the thoughts they disapprove of. Discord is happy to sell that data to whomever is buying it.

Oh well. More fediverse, please!

Hate to break it to you. Dad has abandoned (or never had) critical thinking capabilities.

There isn’t a reasonable argument you can make against his emotional judgements that will get through and change his beliefs.

You might be able to trojan horse some ideas into his head somehow, but taking the direct path of just giving accurate information will not work

… but it was already too late. They alienated their users completely and Linux is soooo nice.

Username suggests otherwise

TigerVNC was a pain to set up on Fedora 43. Seems to be a documentation drift issue with online docs. Lesson learned rely on local doc.

ProtonVPN does not play nicely with my KVM network bridge interface. I have to down it in order to connect, and then when I up the network bridge again afterwards the VM doesnt seem to use it until a restart occurs.

I need to figure out how automatically to pull the port forwarded in my ProtonVPN session and have it update firewalld and qbittorrentd respectively
