As far as I can tell from reading the text of the bill, this doesn't actually require anyone to realistically verify anyone's age... it just requires "account holders" (adults) at account creation time to provide a (any) birthdate for the purposes of categorizing their access by age bracket. It doesn't say anything about the information having to be accurate, and gives no penalties for such.

It applies not just to Internet sites but any software application, including operating systems. And strangely it also designates any "person that owns, maintains, or controls an application" as a "Developer".

Nothing, but it won't work forever as more and more sites start to use it, eventually (if they keep blocking it for years) their users will keep complaining and/or just leave if they cannot access the sites they want.

data-only USB cables work with all smartphones

We have tried to make Rayhunter as easy as possible to install and use, regardless of your level of technical knowledge

we do not support Windows

I just use FoxyProxy, which lets you use wildcard/regex rules to send different sites to different proxies (or none at all).

On firefox at least, you can also manually set a specific tab to use a different proxy.

Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it's far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.

Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it's nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.

It's like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It's like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that's open source. You get no power and you get no money.

It's exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not meant that you didn't exploit them. And for the record that's how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that's exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.

I really don't see the "we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license", all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there's solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it's the standard "real communism has never been tried" argument. AGPL is the only thing that I've seen so far that's an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.

when is it not real hardware?

My personal conspiracy theory is that root CAs have long been compromised somehow, but the government(s) that holds the keys can't risk letting that secret out as evidence in any court case so they must keep the knowledge secret until something bad enough happens that they could risk letting it be known.

How does this compare to Chitchatter?

I can't imagine what they would do if a blind person walked in.

did you use the browser? I have a theory that creating an account with the built-in app usually always works if there is an active SIM where it can detect that you have a real phone number, even if it doesn't end up attaching it to the account.

tried yesterday, no dice

Google is often seemingly lax on account creation

Meanwhile I have been trying for years to create one without providing a phone number, and it hasn't worked yet. Tried different browsers, operating systems, ISPs, physical locations, even using mobile devices and android emulators. Nothing seems to work, it always demands a mobile number for me.

And what happens when those reviewed apps are still malicious? Like say, Tiktok?

if you’re allowing side loading, the program can essentially do anything

How is this not also the case for non-sideloaded apps?

just make all apps webpages /s
