@dagda@netzsphaere.xyz @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @waltercool@pl.slash.cl I don't understand why some atheists insist on objective morality. It's obviously farcical, since there's no cosmic entity dictating how you must behave, punishing you if you don't, and so on. Pol Pot died a peaceful death surrounded by loved ones. A mistake some people seem to make is thinking that if there's no objective morality, that you then have no right to impose morals on others, and would therefore have no justification to punish immoral behavior; even heinous murderers. But that, in and on itself, would be a moral judgment. If there's no objective morality, you can't tell me whether I can or cannot impose my subjective morals on others. I can. And I will. :blobcat-devil: Jokes aside, I can simply "impose my morals on others" by supporting a sensible legal system. Doing so neither requires belief in a god, nor is it precluded by disbelief in one. I simply want to do it. So I do.

French feminist charged of hate speech and ordered to pay €4K for the statement:

> As women, we are compelled to be wary of people with penises.

Said in the context of a discussion about violent male prison inmates easily being able to go through formal "gender change" on paper, to transfer to women's prisons. (Yes, this happens.)

https://x.com/doramoutot/status/2057180176484647069

The transgender movement has been absolutely disastrous for many women.

There are multiple known cases from different countries in which a violent man gets put into a women's prison and proceeds to physically and sexually assault female inmates, in some cases leading to impregnation of the victim.

Now, women who talk about this are punished by the state.

There cannot be a more naked expression of hatred against women on behalf of governments. To lock them up with violent men, then punish women who speak out...

The claim that "sex is a spectrum" annoys me.

If it's a spectrum, there needs to be a variable I can measure that sits on a continuous value range. Say from 0 to 500, where 0 is the male end of the spectrum and 500 the female end, or something like that.

So what are the two ends of the value range, and how are they measured?

How do I measure someone's "sex value" on this spectrum?

Also, it implies that some men are "more male" than others and some women are "more female" than others. What does that remind you of?

@jpaskaruk @cy @yrrsinn This seems like one of those ridiculous overblown things. I can't believe someone wrote a freaking hit piece about the guy opening these PRs. Does the author of that blog post think he's doing investigative journalism uncovering some kind of shady criminal? Unix accounts already have fields like "full name" and "room number" and weird shit like that for historical reasons, and usually you just leave them empty. (The full name field is actually used sometimes, like by git, if I remember correctly.) What's the big deal if there's a birth date field as well? Literally who cares if it's just an arbitrary optional data field? If this will eventually make parental controls easier, great! E.g. parent creates account for kid, enters birth date, then whenever the web browser is directed towards a website with an age limit, it checks it automatically. Voila, brilliantly simple solution to the problem where hardcore porn sites literally just show a popup asking "are you 18?" that's never turned away any kid, ever. IT nerds who lose their mind over absolutely nothing because of some "principle" or some slippery slope fallacy annoy the fuck out of me. Save your energy for the day something actually bad happens. Seriously, going after the guy who opened those harmless PRs, with some fancy hit piece article showing something that looks like a freaking mug shot, is actual pathological behaviour. The author should touch grass.

I think I completed the documentation to the Zisp parser:

It mentions some decoder features that aren't actually implemented, but the parser is actually done. :blobcat-googly-aww:

@wolf480pl @toxi In my observation many "FOSS" projects these days are already an exclusive club. You have to share a certain set of quasi religious political views that are not even related to software freedom, or you'll risk being canceled. Needless to say, I don't trust such people to have a sensible definition of "ethical use of software." Let's say such a license was applied to a Fedi server implementation or another piece of software that facilitates communication. Heck, could be a web server... The license would probably try to control what speech you are allowed to publish via the software. "No publishing hate speech or you are in breach of the license." Congrats, it's now illegal to use the software to publish feminist views critical of gender identity theory, because it will 100% be branded "transphobic hate speech." It's actually somewhat scary to think about, because the whole CoC trend already comes somewhat close to this, just limited to culling contributors rather than blocking people from using the software. I can hardly imagine it ever going that far, but think about a world 20 years from now in which people who want to publish unpopular views are barred from using most web servers, blogging platforms, etc. and have to pay fringe "free speech hosting" companies a ton of money because the company has to maintain an entirely independent software stack developed from scratch. Unrealistic, but scary. Would make for a good dystopian story.

Fascinating story about blunders in use of DNA evidence in investigations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9okaPzpVhmM

Apparently for years German/European police have tried to track down a female "phantom killer" whose DNA would keep popping up in crime scenes all over Germany as well as Austria and France. They thought it must be some super powerful scary criminal as this woman was linked to a high number of accomplices (all men) who'd be identified at the crime scenes, yet none of them would give any information about her. She was linked to crimes as old as 1993 and as recent as 2007.

In the end, it came out that the DNA belonged to a woman working at the factory producing the cotton swabs used to gather DNA evidence. :blobcat-joy:

@joelle@social.joelle.us I totally agree! I've always been an extremely gentle person (perhaps even more so than some women I've encountered in my life) and I don't think I've ever had a T deficiency judging by my physical development and facial hair and whatnot. I think it's down to a combination of individual genetics and socialization, but I think socialization is ultimately the key. There's just one caveat I'd add, which is that there seems to be some evidence that unnaturally high T seems to make bodybuilders extremely anxious, irritable, prone to having violent fantasies, and so on. This is something Dr. Mike Isratel has talked about recently in some interviews. (He's a professional bodybuilder, and realistic about the negative side-effects of this line of work.) This still doesn't invariable make them *actually* violent, though. (I don't think Dr. Isratel ever actually did anything, for example.) Ultimately, I think it's about whether someone has been taught to control themselves or not. If not, then they really don't need much T in their bloodstream to do horrible things. And if they have been taught to control themselves, then they won't become an actually dangerous individual even if they go as far as abusing anabolic steroids.

@Suiseiseki @yrrsinn @cy @jpaskaruk

An OS shouldn't have an audio stack with built-in default-enabled functionality that records all input audio and transmits to a remote server, as obviously the government will require that the audio recording is sent to their server.

No, an OS should not have an audio stack at all. After all, if an OS is able to record audio, then the government will mandate all OSs to constantly record audio and send it to the government. Having an audio stack is proprietary. An OS should also not have video recording capability, since the government would then mandate any detected webcam to constantly stream video to a server. Wanting an OS to have any multimedia capabilities means you're pro mass surveillance. In fact, OSs should not support TCP/IP in the first place, since that enables the OS to upload surveillance data. :blobcat-googly:

governments will of course mandate that sites set a ridiculous minimum age For example, the government will require that gnu.org is 18+, as those "naughty jokes" will "traumatize the children" and then children wouldn't learn that freedom even exists. Kids won't be able to do research, as sites with lots of information like Wikipedia, would be forced by the government to set the age filter to 18+.

The slope just keeps getting more slippery! There are already laws mandating the horribly useless "are you 18" popups, and those only ever show up on adult sites. Also, remember that the computer owner decides whether any of this is honored in the first place. It's pure freedom and more freedom features for freedom parents who want to let their freedom kids use freedom computers.

Actually, metadata will be leaked by such implementation - it'll be easy to utilize JavaScript to narrow down the age to the exact day. [...] A more advanced attack, especially over days and months, or if the attacker is able to playing around with setting the date etc with JavaScript would allow determining the exact DoB.

This kind of stuff is really easy to prevent:

  • Make the browser only do the whole check once per domain per day; the first min-user-age you get from the domain is cached for 24h.
  • Only do it on top-level requests initiated by user navigation event, like entering a URL, or clicking a link, rather than dynamic resource loading, AJAX requests, or iframes.

At that point it becomes extremely burdensome (if at all possible) to exploit the system to reveal the user's exact age, let alone DoB. And a DoB isn't even a particularly sensitive piece of info, so there is no point jumping through hoops just to find out that piece of info about a website visitor. And then the website has no way of knowing if it's a real DoB or if it was rounded to month or quarter during OS setup.

There is no justification for why this feature hasn't been available since 20 years ago already. Only reason I can think is that the porn lobby is too powerful and that the software industry, like any other industry, has no morals.

@kirby@freerobuxextremist.com @fiore@brain.worm.pink @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Indeed the fact that he wrote that when he was 19-20 and 10+ years ago is something I had noticed immediately when it was exposed, which is why I personally never saw it as a strong argument against his character. Except for the part where he uses shit from Stallman's youth against him, which exposes hypocrisy on Drew's behalf. However, he also contributed to tagging lolicon erotica on danbooru, and in a few instances (at least one documented) even hardcore lolicon content with penetration of a child character. (He added the tag "happy sex" to this image.) He continued using that danbooru account until very recently, like months before publishing the Stallman cancellation attempt. Also, his reddit activities ~10 years ago included defending a man who openly said that he would abuse children if he could get away with it. Though this is also when he was 19-20, it's quite a bit more suspicious than the flippant IUD comment. I think there's a strong argument to be made that his attempt at painting Stallman as a "danger to women and children" may essentially be a form of projection. It may be that DeVault experiences pedophilic and otherwise dangerous feelings, and that the insecurity this causes him makes him lash out against other people. Sources: https://dmpwn.info/

@sun My understanding is that most police interactions these days are barely affected by race. It's usually a matter of whether the person was armed, whether they were acting in a directly threatening way, and so on. There are some high-profile cases where race seems to play a part, and it goes both ways. That is, as much as there are cases where unjust negative assumptions are made about a suspect due to their race, there are now also cases where police are scared of being accused of racism and go especially light on racial minorities, like in the UK child abuse gangs situation. This actually fosters more hate when people start to notice it so it's doubly wrong.

You act as though it's exceptional and not part of a broader pattern

It is exceptional. Under any group of average young men, if someone behaved like that, the majority would point out how utterly messed up it is and it would immediately shift the mood in the room. Even if it were a group of relatively 'sexist lads' otherwise, that shit won't pass in any group except for one with a particularly messed up subculture, such as that evidently associated with lolicon media.

The fact that you don't see that disturbs me and makes me unable to continue in good faith so it's indeed best to drop it.

I'm abbreviating this to "can't copy changes." I also prefer the terms "protective vs. unprotective" over "restrictive vs. permissive" but the reality doesn't change either way. Whether the fork is proprietary, or copyleft, they cannot take the changes in it and incorporate it into their version of which they sell an extended proprietary version. I'd like to understand why @phnt@fluffytail.org thinks a copyleft fork is bad, when the license is so unprotective that it even allows proprietary forks.

If you give the government a mm, they always take a km - the government will jump right in and make it illegal to enter a untrue DoB and also demand that further spying is implemented.

If that happens, we should complain about that. To complain about an OS offering the feature of setting a user DoB is silly. It's like saying an OS shouldn't have an audio stack because what if the government uses it to spy on people's private conversations. An optional DoB field that allows applications to query it and block access to websites that advertise a minimum age via an HTTP header, is just a very simple feature that increases freedom by giving parents more capabilities.

The age of the user is none of the websites business and would allow for enhanced spying - such malicious feature must never be implemented.

The browser doesn't have to tell any website the user's age. All that happens is that the HTTP response includes a header such as "Min-User-Age: 18" and then maybe the client happens not to make any additional HTTP requests to the server because the user was blocked, and the server can't even tell this apart from the case of the user deciding to close the tab after looking around on the front page.

Maybe that would be a good idea. It really isn't that hard to be there and appear at random so browsing ends up supervised.

This is silly. Parents are often busy, burnt out, etc. and may get some well deserved respite while the kid is surfing the web to watch silly Mr. Beast videos (OK, maybe those should also be blocked, but you get the point) or playing Fortnite with friends. Sorry, of course I mean Freenite, since the kid shouldn't be using proprietary games, but you get the point. Kids can also use the web for research.

I am dubious of that claim - most of the revenue seems to come from adults, who have a credit card, that are stupid enough to actually pay.

I've had an LLM generate some slop since I'm lazy (see screenshot) and it claims that up to 25-30% of the total industry revenue is still from ads. It's not unreasonable to think that ad revenue from minor site visitors accounts for up to 5% of the total revenue of the entire industry. That's enough to make them not want to do anything against it. Why would a soulless corporation willingly give up a few percent of its revenue for some moral reason that's not enforced?

The chance of addiction is pretty much exactly the same as addiction to anything else. Wait, when did it go from proprietary pornography to violence?

A lot of porn is very violent, and sexual gratification is a huge dopamine hit. Mix in bad parenting / immoral family values and you get an extremely dangerous person. There are cases out there in which minor teenage boys are gang-raping little children, forcing the victim to perform acts they saw in porn. It's hell out here, and porn is making it worse.

It's far greater than 0.001%. [share of kids turned away by simple "are you 18" popups]

Come on now.

If the code is only useful for malicious purposes, it matters that someone has gone and written it. You're liking enhanced mass surveillance more and more? Your age is a large privacy cost - that data point alone can narrow things down massively and allow you to be precisely identified when combined with other metadata.

Nothing malicious: Just a more feature-rich free software system, completely under the control of the owner of the computer, so parents gain additional capabilities to prevent their kids from accessing harmful content. And even when the parents use it, the age of the kid doesn't even need to be revealed to any server; the server just passively informs the client of the age limit and then everything is handled silently at the client side.

The real solution to the problem is to teach children right and teach them not to run proprietary JavaScript on their computer. As proprietary porn sites don't show anything without proprietary JavaScript, children taught right will avoid those sites.

I appreciate you sticking to the bit. :blobcat-extremejoy:

@lispi314 @yrrsinn @cy @Suiseiseki @jpaskaruk This is always repeated like dogma by people who defend porn, lolicon, etc. but it's simply not true. Firstly, we don't live in an ideal world, so there simply *are* many people with a family or cultural background that makes them lack empathy. They aren't ultra rare. Second, basic human stupidity and group think run deep: There are many people who had an OK upbringing, but not good enough to make them seriously dedicated to not harming others; they just don't care because they never built up a serious dedication to being moral. This is how, for example, the Nazis got so much support. A lot of the public was merely silent out of fear, but they also had a ton of serious supporters, and not all of those supporters were psychos who had been abused at home. Some were just average dudes who didn't particularly care about being a goody two shoes, so "who cares if some stupid Jews get incinerated." (See also: The Banality of Evil) As a consequence of this aspect of human nature and society, you have to look at media not from the perspective of a single isolated person with sound mental health and solid morals, but rather ask the question: What kind of culture or subculture might this media create, if it attracts a large number of people, many of whom lack basic empathy due to an abusive background, and even more of whom simply have loose morals for no particular reason? I've seen the result of this directly, many years ago, on 4chan/a/. The memory is burned into my mind: After starting to become skeptical of the typical defenses of porn, I started to occasionally check out how people were talking and behaving in the "loli threads" that people kept starting, which I'd previously ignore, thinking they're benign. Quite soon, I came across a thread in which someone was talking about how he got a peek of his child sister as she came out of the shower. A very clear and serious danger to a real child. How do you suppose people in the thread reacted? Immediate unanimous shock, telling him he's crossing a serious line, alerting moderators to report his IP to authorities? No, none of that. People started joking about it, saying things like "you know what to do" and "so when are the pics coming?" while just one guy timidly posts that image macro with "loli should be kept to 2D only" and simply getting ignored by others. (And when you think about it, the fact this image exists as a meme, i.e. that people have to keep trying to remind others to "keep it to 2D", tells you all you need to know.) Once me and a few others who took notice started making a huge stink, saying loli threads should finally be banned, the mods just nuked everything without comment. Not sure they ever changed the site's or board's policy because I didn't wanna visit /a/ any more after that. TL;DR: Media creates culture. Violent porn creates a culture of thinking violating people is fun. Lolicon hentai creates a culture of thinking pedophilia is fun. If it were up to me, I'd simply fucking ban it all. The nerds who swear by having solid morals should be smart enough to know how to use the darknet, which can't be banned anyway, but at least the high barrier of entry should prevent or dampen the formation of problem subcultures.

they just have to include the source code now

That alone would merely be "source available" proprietary software. This already changes the business model, since previously customers couldn't make local modifications to the extended proprietary version, and needed to pay the supplier to do this for them.

And the GPL demands even more: Customers must also be allowed to share copies of the original and any modified versions of the software. This further changes the business model, since previously the only way to receive a copy of the extended proprietary version was to pay the original supplier.

That's two ways in which the business of the original supplier is affected. Some potential revenue streams suffer, meaning they may need to shift the focus of their business, i.e. change their model. Previously, they may have focused on marketing the unique features of the proprietary software and just focused on extending it with more and more generic features; now they must instead market their capabilities as software experts, hoping that people will come to them for support, consulting, and/or development of special versions with features tailored to the customer.

It's OK to argue that the former business model is predatory and unjust. Maybe even cowardly: They're afraid of competition, so they try to lock people into relying on them. However, so long as it's legal, you have to accept that many companies will prefer it.

But likewise, forking non-copyleft free software into copyleft software is legal, and people who publish non-copyleft free software with proprietary extended versions have to accept that some people may fork the free version into a copyleft extended version because that's their preference. Which is why I'm challenging @phnt@fluffytail.org's claim that this is somehow unacceptable.

@lispi314 @yrrsinn @cy @Suiseiseki @jpaskaruk So, I've told you a story about a teenage boy, hanging out in a lolicon thread on 4chan, openly sexualising his CHILD sister (IIRC age 9 or 10 was mentioned, I specifically said "child sister" for a reason) and you're saying this is NOT necessarily a clear indication of serious danger, instead talking about "peeping tom humor" and going off about some abstract bullshit about privacy and boundaries? I tell you about others in the thread, presumably a mix of teenage boys and adult men up to their 30s and even possibly 40s and beyond, turning this into a joke and encouraging him to upload pictures, and you equate this with "boys will be boys"? I don't know what kind of brain damage one must have to respond like this. Injury from too much mental gymnastics? "Books and media" is indeed a very cute euphemism for "hardcore pornography, and drawings that sexualize children." Get out of the pro-porn, pro-lolicon bubble some time, and maybe you'll realise how insane you're sounding right now.

WTF is the YouTube algorithm even doing? I've not once watched a video or listened to a podcast by these people. Did they pay money to be advertised this aggressively?

Meanwhile there's YouTubers I keep forgetting that they exist even though I enjoy their content, because for some reason YouTube doesn't put them on my front page anymore.

(Yes I know about the "Subscribed" page... I have to clean it up some time and use it more.)

@Suiseiseki @yrrsinn @cy @jpaskaruk

The birth date field will require entering sensitive personal information (your DoB), instead of being able to leave it empty like the room number. There's no way in hell systemd will make it optional once the implementation is finalized.

This is already a slippery slope fallacy. And even if the field were non optional during account creation, it would at most be a minor inconvenience to enter "01.01.1970" when you don't want to fill in your real DoB.

Such proprietary restrictions should not be implemented - parents should be responsible for ensuring their children don't browse proprietary porn, not the OS.

Nothing proprietary about a simple data field in the user database whose value the admin has control over.

This could be a very simple way for parents to take that responsibility: Setting up a separate account for the kid with the kid's DoB (or approximate DoB if you're paranoid) so web browsers can tell visited websites whether the user's age is >= N.

What else do you expect of the parents? Not let their 14 year old ever use a web browser unsupervised? Set up a much more sophisticated parental control system that 99% of parents don't have the skill to set up?

DoB in OS user account is so dirt easy (with web browser and websites cooperating to block access to porn etc.) that I'm now honestly wondering why this was never done before. This should have been a standard feature in any desktop OS since 40 years ago.

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the main reasons this was never considered before is that porn sites aren't willing to cooperate. They know that a good portion of their ad revenue comes from minors so they don't want anything more than a simple "are you 18" popup -- which they ideally don't want either, and always make as easy to skip as possible, like with a big green YES button and no explanation or warning to kids about the fact that they could become addicted or develop a taste for violent or degrading content or the like.

Popups asking if you're 18 actually does turn away some kids.

Let's not kid ourselves. But sure, even 0.001% is technically "some."

Asking for a specific DoB is not even needed for such restrictions - all is really needed is birth year or birth year and month.

And there's nothing preventing the admin from entering 01 as the day, or day and month. The admin can decide just how approximate they want the data to be. Could round up or down to half year, quarter, etc. Just make the field a standard Y/M/D field and the admin has full control.

He's a microsoft developer - everything he does is with malice and the intention of causing harm, therefore a mug shot is pretty weak - instead he really should be hunted down.

LOL, come on. It really doesn't matter who commits a piece of code, if the code itself is harmless.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of desktop OSs having a DoB field in user accounts, and a standard API for web browsers to access it, and a standard Web API for saying "user age >= N" like with an HTTP header.

Tech savvy kids will still bypass it but compared to the 0.01% coverage of "are you 18" popups it would be a massive improvement at zero privacy cost so long as it's optional / without external enforcement of accuracy.

@phnt@fluffytail.org @kirby@freerobuxextremist.com @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo How is forking non-copyleft code into a copyleft project any worse than forking non-copyleft code into a proprietary project? Non-copyleft licenses are chosen specifically to allow the latter to happen, so surely they must be fine with the former happening as well? I'd say it's actually much less bad, since the result is free software. Sure, it may be annoying for the maintainers of the original software since they can't copy changes from downstream, but... Then they shouldn't have used a non-copyleft license? If the fork were simply a proprietary product, they obviously couldn't copy changes back either. Note: I didn't know anything about Gitea vs. Frogejo drama and didn't even know the latter is a fork of the former. Looking at this from a purely license-logical perspective. If I forked some non-copyleft project in a serious way, I'd probably also put a copyleft license on my own changes, because I prefer copyleft. A project that doesn't want to allow this for some reason may want to look into some special kind of license that only allows proprietary forks, though that seems kind of silly.

@hfaust@shitposter.world No cap I think the shortest summary of what happened is "women woke up to the scam." They expect equality in a committed relationship now, and most men don't consider that to be worth the bother; they just want a sex-slave nanny. So the women also stop bothering to even look for a "good man" because they assume there are none anyway. I think the best trajectory from here would be moving towards a family model similar to that of matrilineal cultures like the Mosuo. If a woman has a child, she has a child; the father may involve himself or not. The woman's extended family supports her, and daughters aren't expected to move out but rather become valued and respected members of the household. Some drastic changes would be required. Lots of wealth would need to shift into the hands of women, with daughters inheriting most if not everything from their mothers. It's probably not gonna happen though. I don't know what will happen. It's a bit scary to think what kinds of things might happen instead.
