Programmer, maker, RC enthusiast. I generally have no idea what I’m doing, and sometimes get paid for it.
@mikesheldon I assume none of those people are local to the rest of us.
@vkc I was going to say something along the lines of ‘what a dumb argument, why would the distinction matter?’ Then I read the comments.
@evan wait, no, I misread the question! I skipped the word “citizen”. It changes the question pretty dramatically.
Oh well. Thanks for running the survey

Lindsey KuperWhenever we discuss a paper in my distributed systems class, I randomly split people into six groups and they spread out around the building to talk, while I walk from group to group. The groups are different every time. But so far, every time, I'm able to find five groups, while the sixth group goes off somewhere and I can't find or communicate with them until they eventually wander back to the classroom five minutes late.
I feel this is rather appropriate for a distributed systems course.
@concretedog yes. Also have you heard about the progress Hank and Jon Green have made recently made in the fight against TB? The world is always full of pain and joy. There seems to be a lot of people that have a financial incentive to highlight the pain, but that doesn’t negate the joy.
@alexisbushnell I would also like the answer to this question. I thought about doing something DIY, but if it’s talking to the internet over cell data you still need a subscription. Maybe there is a way around that?

Electronic Frontier FoundationIt is comparatively easy to write data privacy laws that are constitutional. Not so much for age verification requirements.
Just ask Arkansas, California, and Texas:

Is Your State’s Child Safety Law Unconstitutional? Try Comprehensive Data Privacy Instead
Comprehensive data privacy legislation is the best way to hold tech companies accountable in our surveillance age, including for harm they do to children. Well-written privacy legislation has the added benefit of being constitutional—unlike the flurry of laws that restrict content behind age verification requirements that courts have recently blocked. Such misguided laws do little to protect kids while doing much to invade everyone’s privacy and speech.
