will a headshot from thispersondoesnotexist.com work?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 9 points 1 week ago

The first picture I got was a boy, so no, I don't think it'll work every time.

the simulatenous legislaiton from all countries seems very suspicious of a certain foreign adversary backing such motives. this isnt the first things like this happened. just a hunch.

If by "foreign adversary" you mean the US, that might even be true.

Maybe the whole corporate internet. Unless we're forced into aol style portals by the death of net neutrality i think most of the lemmy user base will be fine. Shout-out to /c/selfhosted for those looking to get ahead of the permission gate.

Tor, and mesh networks. Every article brings me closer to going hard just for the lulz.

Google already changed logged out YouTube to a single row of recommendations and a button to login on roku and Android shield when it used to look like the logged in version just a couple weeks ago. Probably the kick I needed to get off, mostly just using it for a couple smaller call-in/debate streamers I can switch to a podcast or other version.

I got this update on my smart TV, and I don't think Google realizes how much of an improvement it is. It's unintentionally the best thing the app has ever done.

Finally, no more fucking clickbait clutter all over the screen. I already just search for the channels I want to watch anyway. I love it.

If that isn’t already shorthand for “whenever, wherever, whatever” it should be.

Time to buy Death Stranding 2 I guess

Can you have age verification and still be anonymous on the Internet? (Fixed fukted typo)

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

the fuck happened to you at the end there

Sounds like they're asking about anonymous amicable anuities, and the answer is no, those are regulated by the SEC (or whatever investment governing body in your area), so you can't legally buy an anuity anonymously, even if it's amicable.

Suppose true, then we'll reduce the use of "the whole Internet".

OK, we won't, no tools yet.

I really love Briar, except it's functionally not quite there yet, and the desktop kind of such application synchronized with neighboring ships, so to say, with a delay-tolerant Web alternative, would be good. Over various links and media.

Anyway, it's not a technical problem, it's a social problem. Not really different from ID checks on the streets and everywhere you go in the city, except much of the city got virtualized. And ID checks on the streets are automated by cameras everywhere and face recognition.

Social problems are resolved in the legal, social, protest, civil war fields.
