“Promoting homosexuality” was illegal in state schools for half my childhood. Imagine the ignorant, hateful people arguing against same-sex sexual education - they would probably say “YOU want to show PORN to CHILDREN” too. It’s a bad-faith character assassination that shouldn’t have merit.

I doubt the concept of anonymised data. Companies and governments have bad incentives to know who you are, and collect data from brokers to make correlations and educated guesses.

If we’re talking about a hard copy ID (passport, drivers license) that’s one thing. A digital ID, and over the internet, is asking for trouble.

I’d rather not have the law, or if law then big business pay but exclusions for smaller businesses/hobbyist.

That means being paid by the tax payers.

The free option is to trust your children.

Age check happens via trustest entity (your government)

Bold of you to assume a government entity is trusted. In the UK we have a large misrepresentative error due to our voting system.

Verify my balls, Google.

Obligatory Steam Deck runs Linux BTW.

If BSD had a the same software license as Linux then I would celebrate it running on PlayStation hardware as users would be more free. Instead PS consoles are locked-down, preventing you from running software you want to use unless daddy Sony says you can. It’s a battle between consumer rights, including software freedom.

It looks like you’re organizing a meeting, would you like with that?

Yes / No

Waiting on a software freedom-respecting headset.

Does “relatively easy” mean in comparison to modern cars, and not easily repairable older cars? I don’t follow cars but if it’s anything like other tech then it’s soon to be crippled by part tying.
