- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 1 week ago:
Did you read me message above? You just don't want age verification to begin with.
Your reaction to your government should be: I will not comply. I will not follow this path.
And basically you search for other workarounds or resistance, rather then trying to work with them to a "solution" that doesn't exists.
You can't have privacy and id verification. You can't never have both. It's either one or the other.
If you think it can be done, well done, this is exactly what they want you to be believe. And thinking it's OK what is going on.
- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 1 week ago:
@JohnEdwa also you do understand that you are basically giving all the power to this random individual business that does the ID checks, right?
It's like the current banking system. No thanks.
That means your website can just be rejected by the ID partner and voila you got blocked from the internet. Maybe your website is discussing something that the government doesn't like?
Whatever it is, you basically sell your soul to this ID verification company. And they can reject you from any website in the future for any random reason. And like I said, websites can be rejected as wellr fom this system (it goes both ways).
- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 1 week ago:
Exactly. I still don't understand why people still think it's a good idea.
Just no! No Id check. No "age verification". No "single company" or centralized bs. No. No. No.
- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 1 week ago:
Age check is very harming for your privacy. The whole EU want to go into this direction and it worries me a lot.
Just not pornhub but also social media sites etc. The reason why I don't like it at all is that you once again need to share data with parties you don't want to give them data. Especially not your passport.
It's a matter of time before data will be leaked online after a random data breach.

I suppose we just have to hope the air conditioner doesn't suddenly hit us with a BSOD!
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 2 weeks ago:
Not fully true. Yes a lot of games run on Windows.. But a lot of them also run on Linux, in some cases even Native, in other cases using Wine/Proton from Valve. See: https://www.protondb.com/
A lot of online pvp games do work under Linux as well. But then again.. AAA games are the most problematic.. because they just stuck, and get ignored by the devs/publishers. I'm looking at you EA!
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 2 weeks ago:
What a shame. But to be expected..
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 2 weeks ago:
So in theory.. you can not even play single-player campaign because of kernel level anti-cheat + internet connection. Even if Wine/Proton would allow you to start the game.
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 2 weeks ago:
You are missing the most important issue. It only runs on Windows!

- Comment on TikTok 🤡 💩 4 weeks ago:
Clearly some predefined templates involved.
And most likely a underpaid and overworked employee living in the basement of his mother's house, working 10 hours 7 days per week.
- Comment on TikTok 🤡 💩 4 weeks ago:
These are just predefined responses with maybe some Ai.
Just go away from TikTok.
- Comment on A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley 4 weeks ago:
Counties? Nah, maybe a small village at most. If everybody in that village is working for a Ai start up that is. 😅

EA is worse
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Teaser Trailer | Tokyo Game Show 2025 1 month ago:
OK that sounds promising. It's not like EA which will break Linux on every game due to kernel level anti-cheat.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Teaser Trailer | Tokyo Game Show 2025 1 month ago:
OK ok.. Does it run on Linux?
