Oh boy, France level strikes incoming. Get ready to be canceled, Greece.

They don't harm big tech. Big tech are lobbying for this change. They do it to so instead of actually making their platforms less harmful (to people of all ages) they shift blame to users.

You should oppose age verification because it will make it harder to run Piefed instances.

I don't know how I feel. If these laws harm big tech... But they set bad privacy precedent....

okay, but why is that a privacy concern?

Someone needs to make a sequel to Papers, Please for this shit.

Identity. Everyone may have to prove their identity.

Are we fr? It's fine to steal personal data as long as it's for "AI"? Not that the big players aren't already doing it, but it doesn't feel like the EU needs to condone that behaviour

I'm pretty sure the person from the last panel wouldn't say the things in the first three. They'd be the one to try to get the cheese out of the mouse trap, like a real life Charlie Kelly.

Or just enter bitemy@shinymetalass.com , works for the ones that don't try to verify the address.

Not the same function, I use both already.

Just get a tempmail, there are tons.

https://temp-mail.org/

https://temp-mail.io/en

https://temp-mail.app/

Or just setup a spam mailbox for just such occasions.

I've seen someone's leg after they got injured by a trap, it wasn't pretty and as far as I was told, it was quite hard to spot.

Ten minute email is your friend

Many people don’t have infinite email aliases. They get to suffer from spam and tracking.

why is that a privacy concern?

I think that anybody without social media is in danger at a US border.

uBlock Origin.

Bein? Is this sports piracy related?

Fuck bein for breaking shit for users in their quest for more money

Absolutely awful ruling.

You can’t do business in such a moronic legal climate, and you can’t have digital sovereignty if foreign owned corporations successfully chase off your infrastructure.

FYI if you are talking about HTML and CSS fingerprinting, I have never seen them used in the wild, and they are trivially detectable (for example a bunch of hidden :hover elements on the page), so Tor Browser would add defenses if they did start appearing in the wild.

Got it, mostly. We don't watch TV either. Everything streams from my PC to a 55" TV that acts as a second monitor. PirateBay -> VLC, works great. I do have a Jellyfin server but the VLC controls are more convenient if I take the mouse to the coffee table. Why can't other media players do the 200% boost thing?! And mouse-scroll volume, can't live without it.

That's a good point. If you are using a physical server you own, hopefully you set it up locally first. If you are using a VPS, hopefully you configured it with key authentication from the get go. Otherwise, you'd need to find a way to identify that the box you ssh-ed into is indeed the one you expect. Luckily, if it's your first time logging in, then you probably don't have any data in the server either, so there's nothing to steal if the hackers get your password. So just enter your password, see if it's the right box, and if not then reset it and try from a different tor circuit.

That warning about a modified fingerprint only applies if you’ve sshed to that host before. How many people carefully check the fingerprint if it’s the first time they’ve connected?
