Crazy to see that you feel the need to downvote my answer…

I have two… I kind of see… I’m not claiming expertise but « matey » isn’t on his first trip…

YouTube too? There’s an abundance of tutorials over there…

Why aren’t you parenting them on this topic then? Beside the parenting bits you can also put in place technical measures to filter out what they can access… reasonably so. And when they break out of those controls it also means that they are smart enough to take on the internet anyway.

Emphasis on age verification companies and other beneficiaries…

As much as I love my EV I’ll keep my horse au naturel…

I had more fun opening loot boxes than using AI at work though

Just ask for the customer’s first born at this stage…

Beside the « personal tasks » or generally any personal data that might be processed locally by performing those - which are likely allowed to a certain extent by internal policies in large companies - the behaviour determination by keystroke / microphone / camera analysis is a privacy concern whatever data is involved.

It’s a level of surveillance that goes way to far. This is indeed a step too far.

This is literally their latest attempt at malicious compliance so you’re not wrong. EU will play ball for sure.

Maybe that’s not the most popular content on my Plex config but all my fishing session recordings are on it and those belong to me :)

My all time favourite. On private shards though. The one called « Avalon » about 20/25 years ago was my absolute fav. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Yup we agree on that. This pattern is actually the most sensible approach to support privacy. Whatever happens in transmission.

The easiest implementation of this is that the recipient of an infringing message flags it from its local client. At that point it’s not encrypted if their claim of e2ee is true.

It also means that only parties involved in the message exchange can flag / report them.

Corporations are often not so monolithic ; the guys doing abuse are likely not the one who try to milk users (looking at you marketing).

Any reported message ? Back when I was doing anti spam at my ISP we could read reported spam from our customers. Obviously not all mails from / to the customers. That would be way disproportionate.

When the power is off chances are that whatever is integrated is degraded anyway. And for actuators just choose some that fail gracefully and allow manual handling. For the rest use HA as much as possible, favour local integrations with no cloud dependencies… and when there are dependencies than make sure the override is available physically (looking at my vaillant HP). Then stack UPSes or even better home grade batteries (my next endeavour) and have backup connectivity to internet and you’re a peachy as can be.

See you highlight the issue yourself ; forcing the websites to expose data allowing an initial set of restrictions. Once those are in place extending them beyond the initial « doing the parent’s job » scope is trivial. The infrastructure will be available to block any content.

Once those headers become mandatory to deliver content the days to http freedom are over.

Eventually the system will enforce the correctness of such headers in a way that piracy will be added. Then assisted death and lgbtq topics; I saw propositions along those lines already.

I remember one of those discussions involving European isps representative ; who is to decide on those tags and which to block? Why would 16 yo not being able to discuss a topic or reach out for help on sensitive topics? At what age are they individually mature enough for those topics ?

About that last sentence; the same crap is creeping in Europe at the very least. There was another press release about the eu commission iirc welcoming a similar decision in spirit. Just not implemented at OS level but web-side.

Not sure or Asia and Africa are feeling about this but unfortunately USA is not alone. which in my opinion gives credits to the various theories that it’s being pushed by gafam.

Can you even play Minecraft locally if Microsoft shuts down their authentication servers nowadays ?

Fair point. It’s so sad to think about artists being poor to start with :-/
