Graphene is going to be outlawed soon. Wouldnt doubt if Linux won't be next in some places.

Good, they will push us all together. Everything is going according to plan.

So age verification was never about children, was it?

This sent me down a rabbit hole for a moment because I'd never heard of Yoti (fucking dystopian shit). A Reddit post caught my eye because it had to do with PlayStation. It's in the r/privacy sub & turns out it had been removed by a mod for breaking their rules regarding any mention of alternative OSes.

Say what?!?

Alternative OSes are a major option for privacy. Ho my gawd, Reddit has truly turned into completely useless bullshit. Un. Fucking. Real.

No means no!

Such a freaking epic stand against the forces of phone modification

Oh god it's such a useless pile of shit over there

Theres almost nothing of value left anymore

I am so disappointed in Reddit. Never going back. Why does every fun digital playground have to turn to shit eventually.

Shareholders, my guy, it's always external shareholders (and a central point of hosting).

At least the fediverse doesn't have that issue (and never will).

I think people aren't reading too well into this. I think this is a massive failure on Yoti's side that will just discredit their trustworthiness and reliability. What's the "authorities" (police I guess?) gonna do when they start receiving a bunch of random citizens reported that have NOTHING to be reported for?

Eventually they'll have to learn to just ignore Yoti's reports...or at least take them rather...not seriously, to begin with.

This really sucks, and I’m worried for you guys using graphene that you’re going to be boxed out of absolutely everything and find yourselves on “terrorist” lists…which is sooo fuckn stupid, but that’s the time were unfortunately living in.

I'm ok with the outcome. If you call me a duck enough times, I'll start quacking.

The security of your phone is a concern to surveillance fanatics.

[-] Steve@communick.news 11 points 3 hours ago

Yah. "The Authorities" sounds like they don't know who to report people to, so they substitute with non-specific bullshit to worry people.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 19 points 5 hours ago

The state police and the cyber police, I reckon

[-] morto@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

does it happen with other roms as well?

douchebag "support"

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 5 points 4 hours ago

Just say that you bought your phone in china or something.
