  • Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms

  • Not really. I engage in my business to make money, not to fly the privacy & freedom flag.

  • I think everyone feels that way. All you can do is just try to stick to the bits you really need.

    I would def think about paying someone to manage your business page.

  • That's not really true.

    I live in a fairly small city. There might be other platforms but they're not in common use.

    I can list a box of toddler clothes and they'll sell in a week, while other platforms perhaps they won't sell at all.

  • Oh my sweet summer child. One day the light of idealism will fade from your eyes just as it does for everyone who is not 15.

    I'm not contributing to pissing away freedoms and privacy, but I'm not going to inconvenience myself on ideological grounds.

  • Ok, so I also hate the "protect the children" argument, and there are certainly plenty of lazy parents around.

    However, if everyone 10 year old at school has a phone and a Facebook account, it's just so much more difficult for parents who are not lazy to hold the line. Its an extraordinarily difficult situation. You'd make your kid's a pariah by upholding a basic standard of care.

    By prohibiting access for kids you set the basic societal standard. Yes it will be circumvented but you enable parents to uphold appropriate restrictions.

    Is it worth it? Probably not. Its not a good thing but as a dad I can see the intention.

  • Facebook is kinda unavoidable here.

    I have young kids, and marketplace has saved me thousands of dollars. Kids need a lot of different stuff at different ages and it's nice to be able to flip the stuff you dont need anymore and get the stuff they do need second hand.

    Also messenger, what's app. My apartment building has a what's app group thats invaluable. I talk to customers on messenger.

    Its going to be a problem but it's not yet.

  • tl;dr: buy a second hand pixel 8 and install GrapheneOS. It's Android, but it will get you through a few years while you wait for postmarketOS to become viable as a daily driver.

  • How could that be a more successful approach when people aren't already carrying pocket computers as they are phones?

  • Trump Suffers Jobs Numbers Disaster After Firing Stats Chief

    Jump

  • What if we increase the cost of everything for no reason? I mean if everyone can buy less things, and everything costs more to manufacture, everyone will need more jobs.

  • What does this really mean though?

    The same could be said of any democratic institution, of course the director doesn't have any way to influence the reporting they produce because it's all supposed to be transparent and reliable.

    In reality though, in the Trump admin, they can absolutely manipulate the numbers in a myriad of ways.

  • Are there any restrictions on a FOSS instance? Is there a pay wall?

  • I'm been trying to stand up a zulip instance. It's working but I haven't used it much. I want a feature complete jitsi instance to go with it and that's only partially implemented right now.

    That said, zulip does seem like the best option for me presently.

    Haven't tried revolt.

    Mattermost seems to be perpetually entangled but being disentangled from some other suite. Confusing and frustrating.

    I haven't tried rocket chat for 5 years or so. I think last time I read about it people were complaining that the FOSS plan is very limited.

  • Trump expresses reservations over Florida eliminating vaccine mandates: ‘We have to be very careful’

    Jump

  • This is so pathetic.

    Trump, as usual, parroting the last person he spoke to - in this case someone who accepts the settled science.

    Look, you have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They’re not controversial at all, and I think those vaccines should be used, otherwise some people are going to catch it, and they endanger other people

    If only there were some way to know which vaccines work and are worth the risk. Some kind of panel of experts who could review the evidence, request additional research where necessary, and approve those vaccines which do work and have manageable risks.

    If you had that, then you could confidently impose mandates where necessary as a public health measure - because inevitably some idiots will prefer not to have vaccines because they don't understand how they work and want to rely on herd immunity.

    I hope they do temper their stance on vaccines and avert the worst of the catastrophe RFK wants to unleash. However, this will sadly perpetuate the prevention paradox - vaccines have worked so well that they don't seem important.

  • Trump calls Epstein files 'irrelevant' as Massie petition picks up steam - ABC News

  • The 2030s and 2040s are looking pretty bleak with climate change impacts.

    I don't think we'll all be congratulating ourselves on how great things are going without Trump.

    I think we're on a pretty bleak trajectory, and Trumpism is a manifestation of society's anxiety around that. Poor uneducated idiots want to pretend it's not happening, and wealthy fucks want to implement a slave class to live in the wasteland and produce soylent
