Dear Santa

Why the fuck are you giving gifts based on who fits your definition of “good” and not just gift the poor starving children food regardless of if you think they are “good” or “bad”? Ya cunt.

Sincerely, a non-believer, because reindeers aren’t birds lmfao

Bruh, at this point I’m just wondering why this fuckface haven’t removed community notes yet.

Brain.exe is a lie

Eh. IPv6 might make individual devices unique. I mean I’m no expert in how IP addresses work. But it used to be every device on a network share a IPv4 address, but with IPv6, every device now has a different IP.

If you do anything involving commerce, VPN isn’t gonna work.

Most online stores are gonna flag all transactions because the IP is “suspicious”.

Banks might not let you log in.

Well, if you are doing transactions with credit or debit, ita already tied to your identity so you might as well turn off the VPN.

Obligatory: Librem 5 and their entire company is a scam. Louis Rossmann talked about it.

Whats gonna happens when politicians realize kids are just gonna click “I’m at least [Age]”?

They’ll implement ID verification.

Then kids will use VPN to bypass it.

So VPNs get banned

Either you have a toothless law, or you live in a country with Great Firewall of China.

How do you feel about being in the Lannister family?

Depending on what the token contains.

There are two implementations I could think of:

“This user has been verified to be at least [Age]. Sincerely, [Government Authority]” Assuming this is an identical token thats the same for everyone? Sure. I’m not opposed to this.

“This user has been verified to be at least [Age]. Unique Token ID: 23456” Hell No. When the government eventually wants to deanonymize someone, they could ask the website: “What was the token ID that was used to verify the user?” then if the website provides it, now the government can just check the database to see who the token belongs to. And this could also lead to the government mandating the unique token id to be stored.

You know in the eyes of government, Lemmy is also social media.

This ban does nothing.

Anything that does not force ID verification is useless.

Anything that does verify ID would mean that adults also have to upload their IDs to the website.

What will happen is either this becomes another toothless joke. Or the government say “okay this isn’t working, lets implement ID checks”, and when that law passes Lemmy Instance Admins would be required to verify ID of any user from an Australia IP.

Y’all want that to happen?

So what hapoens if other countries start catching on and also pass such law?

Eventually the all internet accounts would be tied to IDs. Anonymity is dead.

Youtube got an exeption because Alphabet Inc. lobbied them to do so to get kids used to Youtube. Lemmy does not have the lobbying power like a mega corporation, plus, its a good excuse to get rid of a left-leaning platform, since governments tend to be against the left.

Governmemts doesn’t care, any platform that empowers civillians to communicate with each other is “social media”. Governments love to control and restrict communications.

Lemmy would be considered social media. Eventually they would be requiring social media to verify IDs. So Lemmy instances will be required to verify IDs or be banned from certain countries.

I think the normal fairphone is just stock android.

There is a “Murena” version of it sold by Murena that comes with e/os preinstalled, which is based on android and works with some android apps.

The term “nanny state” typically refers to a government that intrude on every aspect of life that should not be the role of government.

Examples:

What food to eat.

Clothing to wear.

Places you are allowed to go.

What time you have to return home.

Bed times.

Having a non toxic school envionment or invervening in cases of child abuse is not typically under the unbrella of “nanny state”.

Otherwise you’d be saying that any country that protects against child abuse to be a “nanny state”.

Any stonger, and they wander into China “Great Firewall” territory.

Lets not make every country into an authoritarian shithole.

No, they’re gonna download “free vpns” and get infected with malware and turn their device into part of a bot net.

Or use Tor and end up finding things worse than just “social media”.

Are the government gonna ban those too?

Congrats, you now live in China where the all benevolent government have 24/7 surveillance to keep you safe.

1. Parents should be loving and caring and and set up restrictions on their phone and block acess to danger things, what these restrictions would entail is up to the maturity of each kid.

2. In the event that the parents are shitty horrible people, they should have supportative environment in school that can help them. Adults to talk to, classmates that friendly and form friendships

3. In case the parents are not just shitty, and become abusive, there should be a legal procedure to transfer them to suitable guardians.

4. Unfortunately, there are often shitty/abusive parents, school environment is also toxic, and then social services don’t do anything about it. Therefore there should not be any restriction by the government on the internet. In case 1,2 and 3 all fail, the internet provides a last resort for peer support.

Before attempting to restrict internet access, first fix everything else.
