Please drink verification can.
Breath the verification fumes from the back vent
The only thing that meme got wrong was the Xbox still being relevant.
Well, I just learned that you can turn a ps5 into a Linux machine so…
what? how?
This only works if you’ve got a PS5 that you’ve never once updated. Most aren’t going to be that way
I reaaally want to hope that gamers will be smart enough to take their anger to the right place: The legislature that pushed these bills. But knowing most of them, the anger is all going to go to Sony.
Facial Estimation shouldnt be an option. It should be government ID or parents ID thats it.
One thing I don’t get why people care is, they already have your face in video form if you’ve been in any video ever on the internet (which I’m positive, the majority of humans have)
Like fb requiring it. If you’ve ever sent any selfie vid to anyone , they have it already. So why even ask?
Because complacency and defeatism isn’t the right answer. We shouldn’t make it easier for them in any way we can, and we sure don’t have to like it either. Push back.
Right, I get that, but a normal person will just say they already have all my data there’s nothing we can do, why care. They have kids and rent to pay.
I don’t know about you, but at least in my circle, being “sick and tired of this shit” is becoming extremely normal.
People hate Windows. They hate how apps become more complicated, not simpler. They hate how everything is becoming a subscription. They hate how keeping their files safe is a giant clusterfuck of managing half a dozen cloud services constantly sucking up every file from every one of their devices. They hate how TVs aren’t just fucking TVs anymore. They hate how their toaster, oven, dishwasher, and coffee maker needs wifi. They hate how all their favorite things are fragmeneted across a dozen streaming services again. They hate how work involves figuring out a dozen chat apps plus email, a dozen file processing programs, and how all their names and icons keep changing and their prices keep increasing. They hate how remembering up to a hundred account password is an absolutely catastrophy. They hate how their purchases don’t last. They hate how “no” doesn’t exist anymore in marketing…
I could go on.
Speak to literally anyone, and they’ve DEFINITELY picked up on at least some part of this, and it has them absolutely livid about how unfair it is.
The market is right for disruption. Anyone who can deliver real privacy without invest and harmful facial recognition and identity verification can topple Fortune 500 companies. These companies are also simultaneously betting the farm on generative AI which will almost certainly lose them enough money that many will close up shop. Oracle is basically done for, for example, because they invested so much money into an AI data center for opening eye that when an opening I inevitably does not have the money to pay for it they will go bankrupt. The harms from this invasive tackle are not only well known but will only compound and people will start to feel unsafe using them soon
Capitalism will not allow that. Data theft is the only viable business now.
The term I hear a lot is “everything sucks now” and I agree.
We had it far better 15-20 years ago at a minimum.
Sadly, it will not improve
Sure it will. In many ways it already has.
It’s slow going, but you can absolutely take control. Not everyone can afford it right now, but the sweet thing is… Once you do, it pays for itself.
Because getting rid of a layer of exploitation makes things cheaper and more efficient. Corruption can’t compete except through fragile control mechanisms which ARE cracking.
This stuff is getting pushed in our face and is actively harmful. There is literally no benefit to the individual for this. What do I have to gain? The business is imposing this on us for their own gain.
If you dont do it, no play play for you.
Thats the reason people do it . they do not care. Tech corps have all the data already.
We were told it was just for pond sites, now it’s video games and chat apps. It’s spreading fast.
What the fuck? Telle how what you said makes any sense
Sure.
If you’ve been around the internet or been in public ever, or done anything with media like YouTube videos or sent a video to your friend with your face in it, they have your face in video already. Thats what I’m saying. They already have it.
If they already have everything they want, why are they getting pushy with the face scanning?
To test compliance , and to get even more data easier.
Then we’re done. They have it, no need for me to put anything else.
Also, these companies are already ready to lose your data, that they just had you verify is you, with probably address, cc info, definitely IP. just because your photo is out there doesn’t mean you should willingly out yourself.
