If you leave your phone at home for one day, take a walk, get some coffee, meet a friend - but don’t use your phone, schedule in advance and tell them you’ll be phone-less, etc. You’ll find yourself feeling way less overwhelmed by a lot of these things. Phones keep us constantly aware of the changes around us. They make it seem like the world is whirring around much faster than it is. Basically, I guess, I’m suggesting “touch grass”. But I do think phones, in particular, are the worst for making us crash out like this.

Just a reminder, these corporations and not making razor thin margins. They can afford to pay better wages.

The very fact that sexual abuse of a minor is being conflated with immigration shows how far we’ve fallen. This document from the National Institute of Justice shows that the data indicates illegal immigrants have a much lower crime rate than citizens. The issue isn’t that they are immigrants, it’s that they’re criminals. They were presumably committing similar crimes (or at least capable of doing so in Mexico). I’m not any happier knowing that a pedophile is now in Mexico/El Salvador. I want justice and reform. We should always strive for justice and reform. These illegal immigrants aren’t the only ones committing these crimes. As I said earlier: largely, it’s legal citizens committing these crimes. We need to create a system of justice and reform. We need to be able to handle citizens and illegal immigrants.

Obviously this administration would prefer to take every criminal and push them outside of our borders. Like I said, I don’t care if a crime is committed in or out of my borders. I want justice and reform. I want to live in a world where crimes like this are basically non-existent. And I want to live in a world where people with these issues don’t become repeat offenders.

Conflating immigration with these types of crimes is just making it harder for us to address the real issues with our justice and reformation system (lack thereof). Not to mention, we are basically just wasting money and time focusing on illegal immigrant crime when the bigger issue is crime being committed by citizens. It’s like we cut off our arm, but as the arm fell to the ground one of the fingernails broke. So, this administration is spending all of its efforts on fixing the broken fingernail - and failing to patch the profuse loss of blood coming from its shoulder.

Need I say more?

“Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity”

I - too - can walk, garden, and drink coffee.

Print what? I skimmed the article and I’m confused. Can you print an 3D Eiffel tower on a piece of paper? Or is it more like you’re printing things with a small emboss/raised edge? I didn’t even realize that was something people wanted to do. Maybe for custom tiling?

In all seriousness, yes. My wife was basically forced to take the first buyout due to the commute (remember they also removed most remote work). We have been getting paid still.

That being said, I don’t have much faith it’ll continue as long as they promised.

Here comes the sun…

True speaker here

Native English speaker here. I agree with Winker.

This article is super thorough which I appreciate. I will say, though, it feels a bit biased towards two concepts:

1. That men are being pushed into these situations
2. That age verification is the only solution

I can understand that some people might be getting more extreme content in order to fulfill the dopamine hit. But most of these men went onto chatrooms and requested CP. That’s a big leap to go from “18+ teen” porn on Pornhub and then hop into a chatroom on some other site to seek out underage porn. It’s not like Pornhub pushed them into that chatroom or even - as far as I understand - offered a chatroom.

I also don’t see how age verification will do anything to stop this. The article seemed a bit tech illiterate. The whole point of illegal forms of porn is that they’re illegal. They’re hosted on the darkweb or shared behind forums and chatrooms. They’re not hosted (I think) on platforms like Pornhub. So how does age verification resolve this issue if the illegal websites won’t comply? Not to mention, now the only legal sources of porn are behind some form of ID restriction which is going to make a lot of people who want to remain anonymous seek out alternative websites.

I don’t believe Pornhub has likely been entirely innocent. Any website which allows users to upload media experiences this kind of corruption. I’m sure Google Drive has had countless zip folders of questionable material uploaded to it. As has, probably, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and - yes - Lemmy instances. What are we going to do? Require people use a driver’s license for every online account so we can track who is uploading the illegal content? Who is responsible for validating IDs in that situation? Is a UK ID valid for a website hosted in the US?

As for the last section related to children seeking out content of teens their own age, I think age verification makes more sense there. But, again, it would require some massive overhaul of centralized IDs and tracking people across the web to stop it. It would effectively end the web as we know it.

It seems like - to me - the best thing we can do is educate people on why some porn is ok and why other porn is not. I think we should encourage others to report the illegal stuff when they see it. I just don’t think age verification will be effective. It’ll either work and make the internet inaccessible. Or it’ll be easy to bypass and just make everything less usable.

TBF if you want, you can have a bastion server which is solely whitelisted by IP to stream your content from your local server. It’s obviously a pivot point for hackers, but it’s the level of effort that 99% of hackers would ignore unless they really wanted to target you. And if you’re that high value of a target, you probably shouldn’t be opening any ports on your network, which brings us back to your original solution.

I, too, don’t expose things to the public because I cannot afford the more safe/obfuscated solutions. But I do think there are reasonable measures that can be taken to expose your content to a wider audience if you wanted.

Holy shit the article is far less tame than the title. They provided several ways to run commands as root and they can be generated as an over-the-air HTTP call. As per the article, if you buy the Jooki domain, it’s very likely you can control every single Jooki on the market. You can make the speaker do whatever you’d like. Pretty scary stuff. One has to wonder what nerds can do with that kind of tech: turn speakers into a low quality mic? Use them as bots for a DDoS attack? Just start blasting heavy metal music? Or just brick every device?

It’s pretty wild what the devs have done here. I can excuse executing commands as root from a file on the SD card. It’s not exactly safe or smart but it’s also not the most dangerous thing to assume only people with access to the device would do that. Hardly a worry for most parents as long as you’re not especially reckless. But to allow OTA root level commands to be run? That’s a horrible design. At least setup a user that can only execute a few pre-designed scripts. Don’t just give them carte blanch to run havoc on your hardware.

Just another reminder that every wifi enabled device is likely a ticking timebomb. Especially low quality devices meant for kids. Baby monitors, speakers, etc. have a history of being built cheaply and poorly. That’s why I bought non-wifi baby monitors for my family.
