CNN Management: I’m worried that since our purchase by a right-wing nut job and our spectacular idiot explosion of the last CEO, that we’re still in danger of being considered a valid corporate news outlet. What can we do?

CNN Schmuck: We could force mandatory tracking and ads on all website visitors.

CNN Management: Brilliant!

No issues with Freetube here either, never had any either. Running most things on defaults.

Turning off Java script worked when this happened to me. Firefox and ublock origin. It breaks some things but you can do it on a per site basis.

CNN fucks. :)

I’ve just finished 50 minute podcast via piped, worked just fine, recommend you to use some obscure instance and it works great.

pineapplelover, in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

Looks fine on my end. On firefox with ubo

Another innovative way to loose readers. Btw I mean no way to utilize CNN in any type of medium is helpful. But some would disagree.

Can’t say I’ve noticed myself with FreeTube to be honest, local API, I’ve been using it for years now and it’s probably as good as it’s ever been. The fallback for me if it ever doesn’t work is yt-dlp.

Thanks to the CNN overlords for caring about privacy. Blatant liars.

I’m interested but I’m not watching 30 minutes of video…

Freetube works fine if you use the local API, but most Invidious instances don’t work at the moment

Carol, in Invidious dragging to a halt

Well, I’ve been having slow issues on Youtube (I use adblocker) and Invidious. I think the fight against adblockers is related. After all, invidious is also a way to access content without those annoying ads.

N0x0n, in Invidious dragging to a halt

Yeah hard times for privacy focused youtube alternatives… I don’t have any issues at the moment with LibreTube on android. But it’s bases on the Piped api.

But a few months back there were less working servers. Maybe because of youtube’s new policy? Have to investigate invidious and piped github’s issue page

Ad blockers are financial terrorism in 2030.

ShortN0te, in [Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites?

Electronic ids can provide the age verification without giving out any personal information. This is a solved problem at least for a lot of ids in the EU.

But no i still find it a stupid idea. It is the parents job to parent them.

EngineerGaming,

That’s still worrying: wouldn’t some central authority know that “site X requested age verification for this person”?

ShortN0te,

No. There is no 3rd party service needed. It all can happen only between the service asking and the id (smart card).

mindbleach,

… and that’s different from the service having a record of your photo ID?

ShortN0te,

The service gets no other information other then “Is the holder of the id older then 18” => “Yes”

There is no personal data exchange.

mindbleach,

Oh, so it’s just some other service knowing you, personally, visited a particular porn site.

And that’s completely immune to leaks or government snooping.

ShortN0te,

No. Again. There is no other service involved. Pls do some research.

The basic idea is ZKP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof

This here looks like a good write up: www.identity.com/zero-knowledge-proofs/

@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

isn’t the id unique? which means that sites can trace every visit you make and what videos you watch every time?

ShortN0te,

No. Thanks to cryptography it is possible. The Cincept is called Zero-knowledge proof. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof

Here is a quick write up: www.identity.com/zero-knowledge-proofs/

@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

thanks! if implemented correctly, this is a decent way of verifying age. Although I’d rather not have any but it’s definitely better than taking a selfie.

harry_balzac,

Exactly - it’s the parents’ responsibility.

Imagine any government telling car manufacturers that they have to verify that everyone who starts their vehicles has a valid drivers license.

Don’t give them ideas, this is exactly the type of shit they want to enact

@ares35@kbin.social avatar

give it time. the government (us) wants to put interlock gadgets into every new car to prevent drunks from driving. driving under the influence is illegal and those that do are more likely to kill someone. so is driving without a license, and so are those drivers.

PriorityMotif,
@PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

There are also circumstances where it’s legal to drive over the legal bac. If someone is having a medical emergency then it’s legal to drive them to a hospital.

PhobosAnomaly,

It’s still illegal - however it’s a defence to prosecution to say that there was a form of emergency or other mitigating factors.

As always, the wording and mitigations are specific to the jurisdictions.

digdilem,

I suspect you haven’t worked with governments before.

Just because something is technically possible, it’s no guarantee that it will be the chosen mechanism for something. More likely the contract will be awarded to either the lowest possible bidder, or to a friend of a friend. Cronyism is depressingly common at all levels.

Not sure why you are under that impression. I never discussed the potential chosen mechanism.

I stated that it is possible and that it is already implemented into the id card of many eu citizens.
