You all need to talk about Fake IDs way more when this subject is brought up, the silence around that subject is unacceptable. Discord and friends really want us to be silent when it comes to the subject of people making fake IDs or faking facial scans. Because it means people might be discouraged from trying it or never even think of trying it at all.

Being silent will artificially boost compliance and that’s horrible for privacy.

I do not think this analogy is comparable considering you are advocating for mass surveillance of people, not an increase of security. The existence of lockpicking is not a threat to locks or door locking because it is a complex skill.

The existence of fake IDs is an existential thread to ID verification systems which is why talk of it is artificially avoided or suppressed, because it is not hard for someone with a Printer, Photoshop, or just use AI to fake an ID or picture of “themselves” to pass it. Might be a crime in some places but it isn’t anymore difficult. And will be done at much larger scales than lockpicking if people realize and are encouraged to do so.

This will also do little to stop criminals or underage users because as much as people have artificially avoided the topic of it, fake IDs are still a thing.

They don’t know that fake IDs exist, something people have been surprisingly silent about when it comes to the whole ID verification saga.

Wow it’s like no one has heard of Fake IDs. Despite the fact that Facebook moms would finger wag you for suggesting their existence, they are not a real barrier. Especially for actual criminals.

That’s a pro in my book considering I had harassment directed my way by a feddit admin.

Wow… that… I have no words for that. That is beyond despicable. I had a feeling things were bad when I saw the governance thread but that’s way way worse than I thought.

It came from an instance called chatgptjailbreak.tech. Seems like my instance defederated them.

Yeah it’s a shame.

First thing I would do if I got that thing would be to wipe it and install SteamOS on it for the best user experience. Way better and faster than whatever garbage micro$oft put on it.

If dying is your thing I guess…

It’s okay. But it would be better if it didn’t recognize touch as a mouse input. When I booted into Ubuntu once it worked flawlessly on the Desktop touch input working distinctly from mouse input. on KDE touches are mouse input which is annoying and uncomfortable.

I don’t really care about genAI or have any strong opinions but damn, that behavior is not okay at all… I really hope we go through with this change. I wouldn’t want to see people like this continuing to behave in such a way here, makes it feel very unsafe or unwelcoming. God forbid I accidentally crosspost an AI meme from Reddit without knowing and get swarmed with hate and anger. That doesn’t seem like something that should happen here, or anywhere at all really.

I’m so glad I quit Facebook long ago and also started using uBlock Origin.

I wish KDE worked well on Touch screens. It seems to really fail at that. Don’t tell me it’s X11. X11 on Gnome doesn’t think my touches are a mouse. KDE thinks it is though.

Because some people think that the police using their power against you makes you automatically wrong and evil. We call those people bootlickers.

Good to hear.

Willing to bet many of them are using VPNs or Tor. I’ve used IP graabbers in the past on people like this and very often get usually datacenter IPs. Might be good to catch some of them but probably isn’t going to be as useful as people think it will be.

FYI this fucker is on your instance, might want to take care of them ASAP, who knows how many people this idiot has spammed this message to.

Tearing them limb from limb with horses (or I guess these days they’d use cars) is more brutal though and could be made to go longer and be more painful. Crucifixion is also pretty horrible. There are way worse methods out there than the guillotine, even in your scenario of doing multiple people at a time. Methods designed to be slow and torturous by nature.
