Yes! Because cyber bullying can only happen on platforms that are designed specifically for adults. By banning children from social networks, we will have completely eliminated the problem and totally not at all created much worse problems like potentially leaking the identities of millions of people and destroying the entire concept of privacy.

When my kids were young, but old enough that they may inadvertently stumble upon porn, I told them the truth. The truth that so few explain to their children. The truth that many adults don’t understand and many more completely forget.

Porn is fake.

It’s not real. The sounds? Acting. The breasts? Those are fake too. The perfect skin? Makeup (or airbrush).

Even “amateur” porn is fake! As soon as someone agrees to be filmed having sex it ceases to be real.

Also, let me get this straight: Your greatest fear from children being exposed to porn is they might begin to accept mysogyny‽ As in, you think porn is the most likely place kids will be exposed to it and somehow just nod their heads‽ “Oh wow, that’s totally sexist! But they’re having sex so it must be OK. I’ll try to be like that!” (Child nods head).

Or perhaps you think kids will be viewing so much porn—specifically, the mysogynistic kind—that it will somehow carve mysogyny into their minds?

This is so much like the beliefs of conservatives that try to ban books that mention LGBTQ people. Stop and think for a moment: How much porn did you view as a kid? How did that impact your life?

I seriously doubt it changed much. Unless, of course, you were reading Playboy for the articles.

Oooh! Maybe they’ll finally invent an actual reason to use it.

Just think: Without legislation like this, kids will be able to see people having sex! Thus, ending their lives. Not so different from staring into the eyes of Medusa!

The amount of children exposed to sex that have died—or suffered worse consequences like early onset conservatism—may have been zero so far but the dangers are clear! We must skip right over parental involvement in child rearing and go straight to the source of the problem: Computers.

Computers have been giving everyone access to too much information for too long! We must restrict it! The first step is to get an implementation that actually works to censor information—to save the children (wink wink)—then later, we will have the tools necessary to censor whatever we want!

When glorious dictator decides that information about trans-genic mice must be erased from the Internet, we shall have the power to do so!

My Plott Hound knows this tune. It’s the song of her people.

Monarchies are rotten. The entire concept!

Anything related to conservative ideology better be banned, then!

The Giving Tree

Define, “hacked.” I ask because there’s degrees to this sort of thing.

Example 1: Hacker finds SQL injection vulnerability and uses it to change his bill after booking.

Example 2: “Hacker” changes the HTML form that submits his booking by changing a read-only value to read-write and adjusts the price to $1.

The first one is actual hacking. The second? Come on! In that case the hotel accepted the booking with the reduced price. That’s not really hacking, that’s just a comedy of errors in judgement on behalf of the hotel.

The second example is like changing the price tag on something in a store to $0.01 and then having the clerk look at it and say, “well, that seems low but the price that says one cent, so…” 🤷

Brush the chips off before they go into the MRI then!

What would happen to motorcycles with four wheels that are tightly coupled together? Like:

That doesn’t seem like much of a cheat. That’s more like a crutch.

My conspiracy theory: The plan is to fail and sell the data centers to Microsoft for pennies on the dollar.

Apparently Italians don’t give a fuck.

Your friends could be sharing your public phone number! The one that’s listed and accessible to the world via the Internet’s version of the White Pages!

In the US, phone numbers aren’t private unless you pay extra (no one does except celebrities who are wasting their money… Because even if they pay it gets sold to 3rd parties anyway!).

Not a damned thing in that article had anything at all to do with “chatbots”.

This situation is SO DIMM!

If extraterrestrial, sapient alien life has been discovered here on Earth by the US government it was probably uncovered via signals intelligence gathering. Not via any sort of physical interaction or visual observation.

Everyone thinks that to find aliens you need to search the skies, looking for visual evidence or radio patterns. No one bothers to think that a mass surveillance network across the globe would pick it up first—from local sources. Meaning: They’re already here and could have been for hundreds of thousands of years (or longer).

There’s probably an autonomous alien monitoring station broadcasting information about Earth on the regular. Probably more than one.

Exactly the type of thing that would be investigated by signals intelligence analysts who spend their days trying to figure out, “WTF was that?” Looking at data gathered from all over the world (for spying reasons).

That’s why Obama would laugh at the question of, “where are the aliens?” Because he wouldn’t know! He’d just know that they’re here… Somewhere. Probably just super advanced machines, connected to a quantum-level universe-wide network.

The real question to ask is, “are they enjoying our memes?”

The Motion Picture Association (MPA), the Hollywood trade association, accused ByteDance of “unauthorised use of US copyrighted works on a massive scale”.

ByteDance: “Yeah, so? Not everything needs authorization. We do not need authorization to say that you suck.”

We must never forget that the MPAA and RIAA are villain organizations. They do not serve the interests of consumers. They have been enemies of the Internet at large since the Internet.

As much as I hate AI slop, the MPAA deserves zero sympathy.

Simple: Exfat does not support symbolic links. So every file that’s just a symbolic link on your btrfs filesystem is getting copied in full (the link is being resolved) to your Exfat drive.

Solution: Don’t use Exfat. For backups from btrfs, I recommend using btrfs with compression enabled.

Also don’t forget to rebalance your btrfs partitions regularly to reclaim lost space! Also, delete old snapshots!
