But don’t forget guys, uploading your government IDs to any old fucking website to prove your age is very safe and protects children. There’s no way this could go wrong and everyone in the supply chain is very trustworthy
That “it’s not going away” attitude is the fucking problem…
We should fucking fight it, either by good or by bad, because that defeatism is what they want, they want us to think that TINA, then, little by little, force ourselves to do things that at first would seem unacceptable to us.
Usually when you beg for crumbs the power brokers understand you to be an inwardly defeated person and they spit you in the face instead of negotiating with you.
This is not about getting.
This is about what you aim for to begin with.
If you go to a shooting range and delibarately aim for a 1 instead of for a 10 it does not make you more likely to hit a 1. It makes no sense to sabotage your own aim before you even squeeze the trigger.
You think if your aim is modest, the powers that be will take pity on you? What a foolish notion.

The QR/one time code way makes a lot more sense and avoids this issue
No. Fuck off
They’re already doing the verification and it’s not going away. I definitely prefer a better way to do it

Yeah, it’s evil. We have to fight back
But in this case there’s already a lot worse system in place. Why not get a better system while also fighting the verification thing?
No, get rid of the bad system and be done with it. No compromise. This isn’t something that needs to exist at all.
I sincerely wish you luck in your endeavor, but I’m not very optimistic about it so in the meanwhile, better system would be better
oh you can go and wish good lucks to yourself too, because you will need it if this becomes widely adopted
Aren’t you tired begging for crumbs?
I want a ten course dinner with hookers and blow. Nothing less will do.
I mean I’d rather get crumbs than nothing? lol
Just seems pragmatic to me
Begging for crumbs does NOT mean getting crumbs.

The better system is no system
Wouldn’t that be the best system? This system is a lot better but better just means better than the other thing
let me correct you. this system is slightly better. the word you were looking for is slightly.
You’re part of the problem.
For wanting a better system? lol
you are not fighting the verification thing, you are applauding it
I’m pretty indifferent to there being age gates. I hate the shitty implementation though, I’d never sent my id to random sites
That…doesn’t work. Just because you saw one dumb YouTuber say something doesn’t make it true.
I’m not sure if there’s some popular video you’re talking about but I’m talking about the EU ID proposal. Haven’t seen any videos about it
Does it, though?
Have the app you use to verify scan it so it can sanitize it
Fuck all that noise.
