I avoid using apps on my phone as much as possible

lol this happened in america, assuming they’ve got retirement lined up at all is a bit of a stretch

That’s like 4 years of income at a poverty level…

5 figures is not “set for life” money like everyone seems to be suggesting

This isn’t your fault, but I’m on mobile in the default web interface and fuck this side-scrolling code block thing.

nah, “vote with your wallet” can never work! You can only contribute to the problem more until it can’t go any further!

(i am not serious about any of this. a sane society would reject the existence of these “businesses” swiftly. if only…)

The only way to fight this is to make a new bet on polymarket to profit off the odds that this journalist is killed by the gamblers in polymarket.

Yeah I get that, I just struggle to understand how this really could play out in a functional manner.

Yes. But does that satisfy this law? Is the Linux server that runs all the AWS nodes also required to be compliant? Or do you just get a free pass if you run Linux? Wouldn’t that incentivize anyone interested in porn to switch to Linux and undermine the hold those companies have on the personal computing market?

How would this even work? What is a “computer” in the definition of this law? Gun nuts like to say that if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. But if you outlaw computers… everyone will be an outlaw. your fucking microwave is a computer. In Corey’s book he restates many times that basically every computer we have is a Turing complete von Neumann machine, or rather all computers can run all software and the only limitations are those imposed by the software licenses…and time, really. I just don’t see how you could feasible restrict the use of all the computers already on the market. My PS2’s can run Linux and send emails… radio transmissions are easy to set up with point to point contact and encrypted messaging. It’s just an insanely stupid thing to attempt. I feel the same about the age verification at the OS layer thing. Maybe you can get Apple, Microsoft, and Google to put it in their OSes, but anyone with a Linux device or a VM will be able to avoid it very easily. It’s silly.
