That's basically the idea behind these laws.

Conservatives want to make porn illegal, which isn't easy under traditional means, so they're taking the "Putin" approach as I put it, make viewing porn hard, unattractive or even dangerous and make delivering porn to people hard, unattractive and dangerous.

Requiring an ID from the government to view porn means the government can tell who is watching what. If one of those people happens to run for office or get a little too campaigny, their porn history can be named and shamed.

And porn providers know this, and know that will drive people away from their sites, and on top of this implementing this will likely be bureaucratic and likely expensive, so they'll stop serving an area.

And when this is applied to non porn sites that have porn like Reddit or twitter or Tumblr, well guess what's going to happen, those sites will ban porn from their site.

It's basically banning porn by making it impossible to get porn in a way that doesn't end up with you getting blackmailed. Children have nothing to do with it.

Riot priest is a baddass name for something I would hate in practice.

But at the same time generalized artificial intelligence is very likely possible and will be an absolute game-changer if and when it happens. It’s easily of similar value to fusion technology.

The "AI" we have now is basically advanced Autocomplete.

For example, some home-schooled children in Idaho or Arkansas, by parents made crazy by limbaugh and murdoch, then breitbart and infowars.

Yes, yes there are. I have met them.

Fuckin' hell, investors don't know shit about the shit they are investing in do they, if all you need to do is slap some bullshit buzzwords on it and they'll suck your dick.

Honestly, I'm using Cinnamon, it has all the stability and practicality of old style gnome with the eyecandy of KDE. However I also use MATE and XFCE if I wanna be frugal on resources.

Damn straight, Browsers shouldn't deal with social justice issues, they should deal with working to destroy minorities lives and enforce fascism, narking on the browsing history of those who deny the status quo. /s

Proton from Steam allows any game that runs on Windows to run on Linux, alongside all the games that run natively on Linux. The SteamDeck's main OS (SteamOS) is an Arch-based Linux distro, if a steam deck can run it, so can your Linux computer. Thanks to proton, pretty much any Windows game can run on Linux. I literally stream from a Linux Machine.

Go back up your shit and switch. Linux Mint is free.

Holy shit, really? I have had some people genuinely try defend this by saying it's going to be done "on device" (kek) but holy shit.

OK but my whole browser history doesn't get sent to Microsoft to be processed by an AI.

Back up all your data onto a drive, install a simple-to-use Linux distro like Linux Mint or Ubuntu, tell Microsoft to get fucked.
