You keep speaking in extremes and absolutes. There is also pornographic content walking outside on the street in the city if you so wish to classify it (and some people certainly do to they point where they get turned on by seing a bare ankle).

Certainly the pictures and videos on wikipedia which you chose to consider pornographic rather than neutrally informative have a different set of qualities then what you would find in the extreme sections of porn-serving websites.

There is a middle ground. You can give partial access. And age verification is one more tool for that (we already have parental controls for routers and mobile internet simcards and smart devices)

I don’t like nor want age verification btw. I just don’t agree with your arguments against it, because I find them weak.

Do you know what de-anonymization online can do?

Exactly, de-anonymize you, based on your behaviour patterns collected over years and decades and any data they can lay their hands on. It doesn’t matter if you switch accounts or phones or both every week or even type of device.

If every one of your new accounts/devices is at the same place, is awake at the same time, uses the same apps, has the same typing rhythm, browses the same websites at the same time of day and logs in with the same accounts and sings the pokemon theme song in the shower every morning and walks in the park twice a day with dog barking and “good boi” sounds happening in closest proximity to the tracking device you carry in your pocket - they’ll be pretty sure it’s the same person.

Wasn’t there a scandal just last week about Samsung smart tv’s recoding audio nonstop and sending it to their servers, even when they are “turned off”?

And even if you are a hermit that cut off all their devices and access to the internet altogether, other peoples devices will collect data about you, enumerate you as a seperate entity from the device holder and keep collecting and patternmatching.

Using the neutral term “information” here is doing a lot of heavy lifting for your argument.

Nobody is banning the youth from accessing wikipedia or a library or minecraft.

And if a young person really wants to watch at porn, torrenting/piracy will always be there without age verification.

Speaking of minecraft and circumvention, do you remember the uncensored library map? https://www.techdirt.com/2020/03/19/routing-around-damage-censored-reporting-hosted-custom-built-minecraft-library/

I bet someone inclined to do so could host a pornhub mirror/proxy inside of a modded minecraft map.

But also, if the parents decide that it’s part of growing up they can just give their kids access to porn.

Oh uuuh I mean, not porn, iNfOrMaTiOn.

Idea: if we run two servers, we could count as 199.9998% !!! /s

Why not just give hours/minutes per year/month??

I have no intuitive feeling for what 0.078% is, but if it says: “average downtime of 44 minutes per month” or “7h per year” it’s clear as day.

ok, clearly I don’t understand the federation protocol then, because I thought if you can see/interact with the instance (like in the @ after the username), you can find out who they federate with.

Can you leave comments from your non public isntance on communities from other instances ?

If I remember hearing it correctly, some lemmy instance admins defederate by proxy. Meaning: they go look at your instance, see who you federate with (even if you do it passively by not blacklisting) and then defederate you if you federate with any instances they don’t like.

(And tbh, I’d do the same, but it doesn’t seem like OP would like that)

This is fucking sick!

I feel like it’s less hassle to do an android apk then to make it run in termux

ia protondb not good enough? why did you replicate their functionality?

You kinda answered your own question.

What you should do:

• report it on github
• wait for updates

There may be some quick and dirty workaround, but I didn’t find one when searching online.

I don’t know why besstiolle is getting downvoted when they are correct.

When people say that there is very little of something the natural way is “hardly any rain” for example. So if you invert the meaning from “any” to “none”/“no” the whole sentence means the opposite.

I guess it could be explained as follows (but I am no ethymologist, just thinking aloud here, may be wrong):

“hardly any rain” means that there is so little of it, it is hard to even say that there is any rain.

If your friend says to you “There is no rain” and you go outside and it pouring, you could say 'Hardly “no rain!” ’ As a kind of mocking comment highlighting that it’s the complete opposite of no rain. It is very hard to call is “no rain” when it’s raining so much.

Hope this helps!

I’ve been working on this

You or an LLM? Cause the image is clearly generated.

50% room humidity.

40% when it’s hot and sunny, 60% when it’s cold and rainy.

I just dry the filament before printing in a filament dryer. Prints fine.

I found more variety in print success and quality when printing filament from different manufacturers then from my varying room humidity. Cheap noname filament often printed like garbage, no matter it’s dryness.

When you’ve got a LLM, the natural inclination is to think, “I don’t need to do any tedious mental work—I can just let the machine do it”.

For me it’s a bit different. I think: “Hurray I can focus on doing all the fun mental work - and let it do the tedious typing”

I give it architecture, UML diagrams and specs, unit tests for the most important functions (all written by me by hand). Then I let the LLM do the typing and read the output.

Just wanted to add some differentiation to your statement. I’m sure there are lots of people out there that fit your description.

I’m in a shitty place in regards to LLMs tbh, on one hand I can’t stand all the negatives (rich elite stealing and exploiting, shitty planet destroying companies, AI “art”, people getting dumber and more radicalized etc. etc.). On the other hand, I’m a lazy dev and I hate typing, but I also can’t make a career move to architecture rn. I just love solving hard problems with my brain and LLM lets me do that without having to grind through the parts I hate where my adhd is making me want to kms.

I got into SE because I had fun with it in my free time. But work is not fun. Since LLMs I’m enjoying my job (read: corpo slave hamster wheel of endless shoveling money from the pockets of other people to my boss and my landlord) for the first time in my life.

Only on September 10th? Or after that as well?

You present two options of cause and effect as mutually exclusive, but I think both options belong together as one.

You’re not making them ONLY infamous with your post, but also equally famous with the crowd that might have otherwise missed them completely. A large community gives rise to influence.

You can for example look at how the german extreme right party is gaining more and more followers and support even though they are only ever in the news for outrageously dumb or criminal stuff they did.

Greta Thunberg demonstrated what a young female orator stating the obvious can achieve.

She achieved some virtue signaling responses that didn’t actually improve the issue from the side that was already pro and being called a sock puppet from the side that was con.

What Greta has achieved in modern times with her actions, not with speeches, is way more powerful.
