now this is what resistance looks like and i would hazard a guess they’re not commies

bazzite is not just for gaming

it’s brilliant for everything

what about arresting crims mate

mine is 3 old laptops and a switch in a pile

honestly the cable management is ok … ish

“voting green or not voting would have saved palestinians and stopped genocide” lol cope

what about arresting crims

now do Nix! now do Nix!

give NixOS a go if you’re cool with configuration files

it has a GUI installer and can install gnome or whatever if you’re not comfortable with ssh only

lol

never question your own feelings about technology

they can never be wrong

jesus that’s a good laptop you could put bazzite on that

homelessness has many causes but can be survivable and relatively more enjoyable than living in a hell hole poorly designed, maintaned and serviced high density clusterfuck

commie architecture fucking suuuuucks

it used to be just for nice social bubbles

now it’s for political disinformation bubbles and the two cannot be untangled. users will not do it voluntarily

real identities and moderation in the form of fact checking are the only way on all social media

they must be tinned

…and nix config and podman in the lxc for me

even twitter has a soul

i’ll get my coat

if you don’t know how to make good code you can’t expect AI to do it either

if you can code well then AI can be a great help

Q. You say this is “just attestation, not verification” but we know that infrastructure always gets repurposed later. This is where the legit fear lies. Today it’s birthDate. Tomorrow could it be location, identity, or verification tokens? I understand that you are providing a workaround but where should we draw the line between compliance and resistance?

A. Funny you mention that, location is already a field in userdb. Like birthDate, this field is also trivially nullable, stored locally, and can be set to anything. As long as we are talking about a user self-attesting a date - especially with the ability to enter any value we want - we aren’t in the realm of identity tracking. I draw the line at when a third party internet-connected service is doing validation of ID. Let’s be honest though, I strongly believe such a thing isn’t possible on a FOSS operating system environment unless they could control what was bootable on the device at a firmware level, enforce signatures to ensure that you couldn’t boot something unrestricted, remove the ability to be root, and block LD_PRELOAD so signals couldn’t be faked. There’s probably more ways to circumvent that. What I’m trying to say is real ID verification on Linux would be awfully hard to implement, and I guarantee you, nobody would put up with it. They’d fork to a version that doesn’t have it immediately as a protest. Right now, we’re considering implementing something akin to the date pickers that were ubiquitous when signing up for internet services in the early 2000s where it’s just an honor system. Things like actual ID checks and/or facial scanning + age estimation would be just too incompatible with Linux where we have the freedom to change whatever we want to.

the intellectually diverse lemmings represented in this post and many others cannot understand this

won’t stop them expressing their feelings tho, bless their hearts

don’t tell me you were predicting systemd would destroy linux and you oppose rust being in the kernel got any other takes for us genius?

drones are just perfect for chasing people, way better than cars and helis

what if i told you someone that many people that rode in that ambulance donated to AIPAC?

hmm?
