  • The only thing this bill seems to affect are apps. It has no provision for websites, meaning kids would still have unlimited access to adult content. If a kid wants to get around browser checks, all they have to do is either install an older browser that doesn’t use the OS verification, or find a plug-in that fakes it (and of course those will immediately come out).

    Even worse, if the OS requires ALL software to acknowledge the age verification checks, what do you think that means? Everyone in Colorado is required to immediately spend thousands to buy all new versions of every program they use? And what happens to the software that is no longer updated? If you’re lucky, you can buy something completely different and spend months rebuilding all your old information into the new system? Sounds wonderful.






  • If they weren’t on X and were reading reality-based information, they would already know the entire world hates Trump’s politics, and I certainly don’t blame anyone for hating the entire US in general. Too many people here will gladly hate an entire country even when they had no say in choosing their leaders, so it’s only fitting to see that attitude thrown back at us.

    On the other hand, the exposure that all these Trump-supporting “influencers” are foreign bot accounts is hilarious, and I love that MAGA is finally being shown exactly who they’ve been listening to.

    OK something that old surely has a serial port on it? If so, look in to “sneakernet” (it’s a technique, not a product) to connect to another computer. I’ve even done networking over a serial port with linux, but there also used to be software just for copying files. That wouldn’t give you a drive image but it would at least back up the software.








  • Every claim they make that the shooter was left-leaning has been found to be an outright lie.

    Influenced towards the left in college? He spent one semester during the 2021 lockdowns taking online courses.

    Old friend who said the shooter leaned left? Retracted the same day after realizing he actually didn’t know if he was thinking of the same person.

    And now this crap of the roommate being trans? The roommate had a tiktok chat where he asked an AI to generate an anime character from his photo and it generated a female character. The roommate then clarified he was wearing a “sloth” hoodie because he was hoping the AI would generate a sloth themed character.

    This “evidence” just goes to show how desperate the right is to make people believe the left is declaring war on them. As usual, the right wants to play the victim in something they’ve done to themselves. And lets not forget the shooter was an active groyper – that simply cannot coexist with someone who is left-leaning.
