thesis: age-verification infects all major operating systems and platforms

antithesis: hackers build operating systems for microcontrollers like esp32

synthesis: you need to verify your age before you can use your thermostat

@d6 or subleq+eforth

@d6 i was thinking about this earlier, like you hook up your jtag and the first text that comes back on the wire is "a/s/l"

@aparrish "...and that was how your mother and i met, kids"

@aparrish @d6 you ever just want to go stand somewhere in the trees and scream incoherently for a while

@brennen @aparrish @d6 yes, but it’s so loud with all the other people screaming

@d6 nonrepudiation, the thermostat feature that cranky dads were missing all along

@d6 “I know if was you! It’s right here in the audit logs!”

@d6 I heard generation alpha don't even like modern tech, probably because 1. it's bad and 2. they're banned from using it.

I think at that point urban terrorism is gonna skyrocket

"You must be over 21 to adjust the thermostat"

Well i can't imagine making a OS for a ESP32 as it is already weak on it's own to host a fediverse server

@d6 at one point, we'll need to verify out identity to verify out identity, locking us out of computer
