Exactly, which is how I and many privacy respecting groups have been begging for it. We know the ultimate issue, they want nsfw off the internet. This shuts down the whole “it’s for the children” bs without us needing to give away who we are at all. This is the most sane way to age gate. , and they won’t be able to hide behind that excuse anymore.

You can read it, it’s in your link. From what I read it explicitly says they cannot gather more info than they need.

Yeah reading through the bill I’m feeling better about it.

Provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store.

Where an “Account Holder” is:

(1) “Account holder” means an individual who is at least 18 years of age or a parent or legal guardian of a user who is under 18 years of age in the state. (2) “Account holder” does not include a parent of an emancipated minor or a parent or legal guardian who is not associated with a user’s device.

The way I read this, this bill actually assumes the person installing it is over 18 and an adult. (Let’s not argue with them on that). It’s simply saying that "You need to provide a way to create child accounts, and your app stores will need to respect that).

What I do not see is that OS’s must validate IDs or anything.

provide an accessible interface that allows an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store.

“Mom or dad need to set the age bracket for junior so that apps rated NSFW can’t be downloaded”

This title does not require the collection of additional personal information from device owners or device users other than that which is necessary to comply with Section 1798.501.

Honestly, rereading it, this is how I would do age protection if I were to do it. Rereading this multiple times now, this might be the most privacy safe way to validate age, shut up lawmakers who cry “what about teh children!!!” and let us adults move on in peace.

You buy jr a laptop, it’ll ask on account creation how old they are. That’ll be a flag they can’t modify that will be passed into browsers and app stores. That will prevent children from accessing content they can’t. Adults then continue on. Jr grows up and either buys his own device, or mom and dad swap their account to adult.

Interesting, it’s vague, and obviously going to go through legal hurdles. Windows, Google, and Apple will just do it. Ubuntu might, but what about Debian, or any number of server OS’s? Will users need to verify their age logging into a server? What about forks? Forks of forks? OSes developed outside of the US?

Where this could be an opportunity, and hear me out, is that this could pave the way for privacy-friendly age checks to shut them up about “what about the children”. The bill says that all it needs to check is age - nothing else. If the OSS community can come up with a way to privacy-friendly validate age, then this whole thing could be solved. Websites wouldn’t need to store IDs, they could ask the browser who would check the OS. In fact, that might be the purpose of this bill, to curb all the “Just collect their IDs” with the websites. If the OS had a check stored securely that you’re over 18 and nothing else, then all other age checks could be cut.

Also interestingly, it reads like they might be angling against Microsoft and Google for collecting private information on minors because “We didn’t know they were minors, how could we?”.

I don’t like it one bit and it’s going to be completely unenforceable - and OSes like Arch will say “You can’t use this in California”, but if that’s the angle they’re trying to do, it might work.

I’m sorry, I assumed by posting about it that you were passionate for this change. If you don’t care that’s fine - but I don’t know why you posted about it then.

Yes, that is my proposal. Many people complain saying there are better ways to host instances but no one is willing to practice what they preach and actually do it. If you want to see change in the fediverse then you should step up and do it.

New users have a choice when joining, you should make a new instance and convince the new users why they should join. I would support a toggle on join-lemmy which lets them see what servers are geographically close, but that would be irrelevant before you set up an instance to pave the way.

If you “can’t be bothered” then obviously you aren’t as passionate about it as you claim to be.

Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this local place where people talk to each other in their physical community.

There, that better? Show us how to do it, if it’s popular more will do it.

And I believe this logical fallacy is Moral Equivalence.

We’re not comparing here, I’m not biting on the rage bait. Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this utopia you promise.

Ah I believe this is the Either/Or logical fallacy.

People not wanting to see hate speech or propaganda does not mean they are in echo chambers. Those are two different things.

It also doesn’t stand with my original statement. Go set up your own instance that is welcoming. That would prove that it’s not an echo chamber and expand the fediverse. Win win from what I see. Let us know when it’s up.

Your views here go against the nature of the fediverse. You’re telling people they should go there and be unhappy with their choices. That’s not how the fediverse works.

The fediverse way to to spun up a Mexican server which does have the views and federation people want, and encourage others to join naturally.

Yeah Proxmox leaves a lot to be desired in terms of metrics. However, metrics are supported out of the box. Bad news, you probably won’t get what you want within proxmox. Good news, you have another project you get to undertake! Hooray!

Like I said, Proxmox supports metrics out of the box. If you go Cluster -> Metric Server you’ll be able to see that you can add a metric server. The first iteration I did with proxmox I added an InfluxDB container which then proxmox can talk to (yes they can be on the same host), and then proxmox will start pumping metrics into InfluxDB. (It uses Telegraf under the hood). Then, you can also run Grafana, add your InfluxDB as a data source, and then you have a sweet metrics dashboard. There are a lot of pre-built dashboards already made that look great, and you can customize from there.

You can also use Graphite, I personally haven’t used it, but I also dropped Influx over time too. These things evolve in that sort of way. That’s how I’d get set up and started though.

It depends on your setup of course, many ways to skin that cat. You didn’t really say where you wanted dashboarding. Do you want it through a terminal? Through a UI within proxmox? Personally I took it as an opportunity to learn Grafana and hosted it

Flat characters, boring corporate approved storyline, zero risks taken, what’s not to like? This should have been a box office blowout!

I legit laughed out loud at that. That is hilarious. Of course it’ll bite them in the ass, but in the short term it’s literally more important that AI look like it’s cutting job than actually cutting jobs

Yeah that’s when I joined . The front page was 99% star trek memes. Now it’s down to like, 70%

Man Google destroyed any want I had for a new pixel. I’ve had pixels consistently for a decade, but that’s going away now because they’re removing direct installing of apps.

It’s not that. As far as the stock market is concerned Microsoft has succeeded and plateaued. There is no where else for them to grow in the first world.

So they are not giving up on consoles. No, this marketing campaign wasn’t for us, not by a long shot. They’re going to Africa, to South America, Asia, they’re trying to lower the bar for entry so they are the first ones in everyone’s minds over there.

Don’t have an Xbox? Here’s a handheld. Can’t afford that? Game streaming from the cloud. This is infinite growth capitalism and there simply aren’t enough people to sustain that, so they need more people.

Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.

Thousand ways to skin a cat there

I get that. As another example, here where I live they made non compete contracts illegal, but I still sign one every time I start a new company. I assume they aren’t enforceable at all, but knowing lawyers they will argue some other loophole at me. For me it’s just not worth the risk of possibly needing to pay for lawyers

Enforceable is a level of risk that we can’t decide for the OP. If there is any chance of enforcement that is a chance of them taking credit for OPs work, or other financial issues. Not to mention lawyers are expensive, even if it’s not enforceable, is OP willing to pay for legal fees to prove it?

Personally, even if it’s not enforceable and they’re completely morally justified the question remains, why open yourself up to any risk at all by using company equipment when you can literally use any other computer to do the work?
