Duh. Of course it is.
It’s Meta’s final nail in the open internet.

Meta wants to know everything from your penis size to how many nose hairs you have - after all, both are lucrative marketing opportunities!

And they want to be free from wrongdoing, like being accused of harming kids through addiction, bullying or malicious ads. With an ID, if a parent allows a kid to use theirs for social media and gets addicted or dies, Meta gets to say it’s the parent’s fault.

Meta wants it to be at the OS level, so it doesn’t cost them anything, they don’t risk data breaches and stuff, but they get the info and the benefits. Microsoft, Google and Apple will foot the cost of the build out and risk of hacks. Facebook is free from liability, free of the technical work, the security aspects and can blame anything that goes wrong on someone else.

And if it’s more than just an age, like it passes the name or ID numbers, or anything more sensitive, they’ll piggyback on that to sell more ads.

If this can go from nowhere to everywhere in like 2 years, than at that rate in 10 years you’ll have to swipe a government issue passkey to log into anything and each tweet will be cryptographically signed to verify the sender.

The article states: “The spider, like the commies, also thought it was a good idea to come after me while I was armed,” Rittenhouse posted. “He did not survive.”

Hopefully it was a murder suicide.

You gotta wonder if there’s not ways to make this useful. Like, what if you used steam heat like NYC, or could supply hot water to downtown for businesses and hotels - even if you’d still have to heat it up some, it should be less than heating from tap temperatures.

Even if they prove there’s nothing bad happening, I will never ever, trust them not to change that, very suddenly. They could love to have 100M American cars they can brick the moment a U.S. President says “Taiwan is a country”

But hell, I’m in the market for a car and I’m spending more time researching how to remove the LTE than on milage or features. I’d rather drive a go-cart down I-95 in rush hour than have my car selling everywhere I go, or tracking how many times I hit “next track”

The ghouls from Fallout are more human than this half-aborted zombie-ghoul hybrid.

Can we please cyberbully him until he ends up like one of his underege users?

Not enough.

I mean, the constitution is an outline, an instruction manual. It’s Congress that passes laws and builds the bureaucracy that allows this to happen, at the direction of POTUS.

That “man” has done many dumb things - many award-winning stupid things - but this might just be the dumbest of them all.

I’ll never happen to me. I ain’t stupid enough to use this shit. I’m not stupid enough to make myself unneeded. But damn, a lot of fucking programmers who I’m sure make 100k+ a year, are stupid fucks working to put themselves on the street by using this shit.

We’re not solidly into the enshitification stage of the AI bubble. But unlike most things, it’s never created value and only drains revenue.

Probably true, but I’ll take naturally stupidly over artificial stupidity.

We will certainly find out. In the meantime, I’ll drive.

that’s exactly the level of stupid I expected to hear. Absolutely nuts.

Amazing.
The U.S. should do the same. Hell, I’d go further, I’d ban it for everyone and make it prescription only for those who prove their addicted.

Literally, nuts. I imagine that was the end result of a handful of meetings trying to figure out what to do with you.

Man, back in my day I used to drop portable apps (I was one of the devs) on our network shares and use it that way because it didn’t work from a flash drive. Bur I helped IT so even when they found out many months later, they left me alone.

that was the goal
