flandish

you open the acct with id. no need for the app to verify age.

fuck all govs. fuck israel separately because it’s not a real country.

i love this deep dive lol

98?

take my updoot. i came here to say the same.

There is a great accidental documentary book about this called “The Jungle” by Sinclair.

can a debit card be created by someone under 18? ie does a parent have to do it then give johnny a card? can a bodega owner sell a prepaid to a minor, and can prepaids be used?

just wondering where up the chain the responsibility lies. i’m all for corps being held to task, but also parents. if i handed my kid a phone it was my responsibility.

now he had phones that he acquired. i saw them. so i know it is largely irrelevant my thoughts on chain of concern.

in short: this is a terrible tar pit of gov horseshit sold in the “protect the kids” camp but really is “build a bigger fascist state db…”

i agree! :)

can you enumerate a list of services required for life, health, housing, education (things that may be public already, or could be) where profit would be tolerable over improvements in service or worker conditions?

adding:

should not make a profit.

adding adding:

all facets of life required for life, housing, health, food, and education should be public services, owned by the public and run by its workers.

if a phone is tied to a svc acct like a telco provider- age verification should be automatic as THAT provider cannot open an acct for a child.

here is the only line that matters: “hinder its ability to compete.”

that means “to profit.”

reminder: all corporations, everywhere and in every industry, care first about profit. everything else is about how it relates to or alters profit. literally every word is a goddamned lie, sold to help protect profit.

also their logo looks like a butthole. who does that?!

when will we get a linux based phone that is not android?

my usual method: post “nazis give up their moral and social humanity when they choose to become nazis.”

people reply: “aktchually dehumanizing someone is a tactic of the nazis and should not be done.”

neat. thank for letting me know you’re a nazi. turn back and let your humanity return.

i don’t leave a job expecting a recommendation for another. so yeah. i give as much notice as i feel would be helpful to my peers. if ive been talking openly about leaving then they already know where my docs and such are.

because if it involves a profit motive it involves exploitation inherent in this motive. to apply that exploitation to a service that provides care for children would mean there is a nonzero chance the place is not prioritizing child care and safety over profit.

i find that would help with my adhd and distractions. but yeah. a good one is not there yet. thanks though!

have they come up with a reasonably priced “dumb” phone with an eink display?

what an interesting story. truly a gem.

Americans

people in the country.

the bill of “rights” in most cases also, as written, applies to folks in the borders too.
