New state laws are pushing age verification into macOS and Windows. By 2027, logging in might require a facial scan or government ID.

This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

    You were not going to give me the benefit of the doubt, don’t expect anyone who is genuine to believe otherwise.

    You’re free to be as cynical as you like.

    “is ai” is very obviously a simplification, but is also the reality of where they have chosen to go.

    It’s not a “simplification”. A simplification is still roughly the same meaning. “Coded with AI” and “Is AI” are unrelated statements, not more or less nuanced versions of each other, any more than “Bill is driving a racecar” and “Bill is a racecar” are.

          “middle school” is ironic given the post title

          It wasn’t a deflective joke, although there is a definitely a joke within it. Some people are just obvious and pointless, so why bother.
