Profile picture: Blurred out me dressed in all black sitting cross-legged on the floor looking at my refurbished ThinkPad which is sitting on a small wooden stool.

Banner image: Closeup of a ThinkPad keyboard but the standard red trackpoint cap has been replaced with a 3D-printed soft rim version for improved grip.

Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point.

It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship.

It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy.

It must not be accommodated.
It must be stopped.

@florianschlund solange die Leute zum Briefkasten oder Bäcker weiter mit dem Auto 2min. fahren, ist der Sprit immer noch zu billig.
Statt Energiegeld: Wie wäre es, wenn wir statt Tankzuschuss heute Abend einfach alle auf den Balkon gehen und für Deutschlands Autofahrer klatschen❓
Hat für die Pflege doch auch gereicht⁉️
Oder ne Wurstsemmel ....
Every tech company should have Luddites on staff. Because while the other staff members know whether something could be done, the Luddites can tell whether it should be done.

Männer: Fresse halten. Anschauen. Euren Kumpels schicken und denen das Gleiche sagen.

Und wenn sich einer beschwert? Aus euren Kontakten löschen und seiner Partnerin sagen, dass ihr für sie da seid.

To all those having fear of not slopping I say: Look, your brain got you this far in life! If you don't stop using it, it will get you even further!

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.

Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.

Using plugins like AdNauseam to poison ad trackers (and cost them marketing dollars).

Using VPNs set to different locations.

Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info). Bonus points if you correct it to someone else's info on their site that's similar to yours.

Only fill in required fields when you sign up for anything, but only provide correct info if it matters for you to use the service, otherwise provide plausible, but incorrect, data.

If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.
