[Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites? (lemmings.world)

Porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat face stricter requirements to verify the ages of their users after being officially designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)....

Valmond,

And if they aren’t smart enough, they’ll get a shit ton super sexualised stuff from the day they see a screen anyways.

It’s just a power game, or the old “vote for me, those things are evil”. I say that as no one seems to blend in sex ed. Like at all.

Valmond,

That’s the good thing with Lemmy, one instance can disable downvotes to f off TERFs, another has it enables for some civil discussion about bananas.

Valmond,

Ouch, like youtube?

Valmond,

Like, okay you down voted, we totally care and all, but no one will see it style?

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working...

Yeah the old lie that we are all in it together and should try our best was, yeah, a lie, and some just took all our efforts.

There shouldn’t be billionaires, it’s a morally wrong concept. Money is not meant for hoarding.

We could just confiscate everything over 100 millions and they’d probably wouldn’t even notice. An upper limit of 10 millions seems fair, until no one starves on the planet, have access to health care, education.

And no heritages. Get your money as everybody else.

Valmond,

Who should decide that someone has the right to draw an image and not another one? That’s how dictatorships starts, by limiting criticism.

If you think we should limit criticism (it’s not like believing in Jesus, Mohammed etc haven’t got millions killed and worse) you could start by limiting your own criticism. You know, to show how good it is to do it.

Valmond,

Lol get a life.

Valmond,

I don’t think Charlie Hebdo is very funny often, but you just grasping at straws here. You willfully misinterpret, no actually you just blindly follow a twitter that misinterpret something.

You know, they do this to anger people. To get followers. Etc.

Valmond,

Dude, stop changing the subject.

Just moved to Linux: a follow up

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....

Valmond,

Except that I’m jumping ship to Linux fully, I’m thinking a lot about hardware failure, not the data but say the mobo, so maybe that’s curious. Seemed you were knowledgeable about those things, or I’m explaining very badly.

Cheers

Valmond,

And a lot of configuration, or so I thought? I’m investing heavily but I’m scared for my investments :-)

Another Linux noob here, after a couple of Linux servers (Tenfingers, Lemmy) switched over (finally) my main PC, or well kids got the gaming machine and I’m on a Mint ThinkPad now :-) and a backup think centre tiny if the Lemmy server bails out.

I have this little windows box to print stuff (I didn’t know I hated printers) and every time I use it I’m so happy I don’t need windows in my personal life anymore…

Cheers and welcome OP!

Valmond,

And where is the cable?

Valmond,

Ah thanks! Didn’t catch that.

Valmond,

Why use CBC too? Cha-Cha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD, so both an assymetric plus a symmetric stream cipher.

Valmond,

What about every 100th is a long steel rod painted white?

Valmond,

Gradians.

Valmond,

Oh yeah I start to get it, thank you so much!

Is a way to politely say you don’t really get it/needs more explanations, but for now it’s not the time.

Valmond,

In our modern lives we all have D vitamin deficiency, but as you can overdose (fat soluble vitamin) you have to get a prescription for that.

Valmond,

So it seems you got an answer that you are okay with.

Valmond,

Person spending days and weeks to make content, repacks it and makes it available for free.

Person downloading and using it for free: why are you asking for money?

.

Anyone can spin up a website for cheap and serve torrents for the heavy lifting. At least when you know people will seed your stuff, which is the case it seems.

Maybe the website takes a big load, IDK, but did you consider that asking for funds for the site isn’t (only) for paying the hoster? It’s for paying for the site, for supper, pc parts and the games, work, among others. Seems to be quite exclusive work too.

I’m not trying to do a moral judgement here, just trying to clear up the confusion.

Valmond,

Dude it’s a piracy community. People do it for free. Some people ask for help to continue doing it.

That’s it.

Valmond,

Sale is french for dirty :-)

Valmond,

It’s in Australia duh

Valmond,

RIP Terry Pratchett.

Valmond, (edited )

For the scaling, isn’t that mostly for those high availability / high demand content creators?

I mean, for me, Lemmy is a place where you interact, create, discuss. Not a platform where a select few have millions of “followers”?

So I think that bandwidth cost can be not that high for “enthusiast” servers.

Also, say you post a crazy viral video on my poor server, well people could(I know it doesn’t work that way automatically today) re-post it elsewhere because they like it and see that it’s just not available on my lil server because the hug of death.

Maybe information wants to be free, and if we share things on the internet, we shouldn’t think we had a right to control it any more. I mean is there a law against to create something being inspired by something else?

A bit like when you say something interesting to someone, and they repeat it to their friends, and they do the same and so on.

Sorry about the rant, it’s just a rant, not anything against you!, thanks for the information you provide.

I’ll try hosting video on my ~700Mb up line (IIRC) to see how it works if I get the howtos.

Cheers Lemmings :-)
