sqgl, to privacyguides in UK proposes selfie-based, AI age verification system for porn sites

Soon they will be wanting dick pics.

sqgl, (edited ) to piracy in Amazon and Tolkein Estate force author to destroy all copies of his work. Only pirated copies will survive.

Believe it or not, some people do work extra hard in order to ensure their descendants have an easy life. I’m not weighing in on whether that is wise or not but it is definitely a thing.

Speaking of Chutzpah…

“The Fellowship of the King” title is a combination of the titles of the first book in the LOTR trilogy “The Fellowship of the Ring” and the third book “The Return of the King”.

“The Two Trees” title is similar to the second book in the LOTR trilogy “The Two Towers”

sqgl, (edited ) to privacy in Verizon Gave Her Data to a Stalker. ‘This Has Completely Changed My Life’

The stalker probably assaulted them with a thumbs down on Twitter.

And now they will probably overcompensate with frustrating security theatre beyond sensible precautions.

sqgl, to news in Putin: Russia will concentrate more military units near Finland

Hopefully there is a backroom deal for him to relocate resources to the Finnish border and heroically stop the “planned” NATO invasion of Russia.

That way he gets to fail in Ukraine while saving face.

sqgl, to privacy in I don't have anything to hide, so I don't care

If you saw a powerful but drunk person hit and run a child would you not report it to the police?

In the old days the powerful person would hire a private investigator to learn how to make your life misery to put you off testifying.

Nowadays they just need your internet history… unless you are fine with assholes getting away with killing kids of course.

sqgl, to privacy in Google will no longer hold onto people's location data in Google Maps — meaning it can't turn that info over to the police

Will the old data be removed from the Google servers?

sqgl, to news in Biden says Netanyahu must change, Israel losing global support

I guess that is like trying to discuss who the trainer of the football team is with a guy in the grandstand who just wants to throw beer cans at the opposition.

sqgl, to news in Unguided ‘dumb bombs’ used in almost half of Israeli strikes on Gaza (Gifted article - no pay wall)

Legally possible because Israel is not a party to the convention on cluster munitions. Neither Ukraine nor Russia are either.

I can’t imagine cluster bombs being useful in urban warfare though.

OK. By the way Israel always has coalition governments so there are several parties in this coalition although the largest component is Likud. The war cabinet is only Likud and National Unity (party led by Benny Gantz).

Am aware of Bibi supporting Hamas. It was a cynical ploy by him.

Bibi required five (re)elections to resume power. There were huge protests for ten days when he wanted to control the judiciary.

Palestinians are not Hamas

Istaelis are not Likud

This shit goes back further than people here care to investigate…

"The Antichrist will pass by this salty barren area i.e. Madinah, in a passage of a canal. Most of those who will come out to him will be women so that a man will return to his intimate wife, mother, daughter, sister or aunt to tie them up for fear that they might go out to him. Then, Allah will afflict him with Muslims who kill him and his followers and the Jews will hide behind a tree or a rock and the rock or the tree will say to the Muslim: There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!”

This Hadith was reported by Ahmad in his Musnad. About 1200 years ago.

Do you not think Israel could have killed pretty much everyone in Gaza if they were interested in ethnic cleansing?

Meanwhile Hamas really did do their best to ethically cleanse, and have said they would do it again given a chance.

The reality is still pretty bad: at least 10,000 civilians killed and it seems Bibi wants to push all Gazans out of Gaza altogether in their mission to root out Hamas.

Ah, so only beehaw prohibits downvotes, not other Lemmy instances. TIL.

I guess even what I showed you may have gone negative if downvotes were allowed. The person I was arguing with wasn’t being nasty about it, just incredibly obstinate.

I worry about a return to Nazi style anti-semitism (though I hate Likud) which the polarized discussions are leading us towards. It is arrogant to think it could never happen again.
