not saying that I support age verification in any form, but you seen the vape sales?

I like to believe that, even with the amount of kids vaping, there aren't nearly as many as kids on social media.

To give perspective: in my high school, there were a few kids who vaped in bathrooms, but the majority (including me) did not; we were told many times that it was unhealthy, and anyone caught vaping would be suspended. Everyone I know (including me) had social media, we were not told it was unhealthy (only to not use it too much, not give out PII, avoid bullying, etc.), and it wasn't even policed in some classrooms.

eh... they are more like `dumbocracies` with these measures. None of this is to protect children. Except to satisfy rabid parents who think the world needs to serve them.

I flash phones almost every other week. And tablets. I have been flashing since Androids came out. But never bricked. But maybe that is why I don't have any problems.

The Indian Govt is dictatorial and segregational. It is a valid concern. Freedom of speech and privacy are not something the government cares about upholding.

The Indian Govt is neither dictatorial not segregational. Maybe authoritarian which every Indian govt. after Independence.

Can you spell ICE, Flock and Ring?

Regardless of how authoritarian the government is in the project maintainer’s home country, exposing themselves to a second authoritarian jurisdiction is probably a bad idea.

ICE doesn’t have a contract with Flock and Ring cancelled its partnership with Flock also.

It is perfectly valid that this issue is polarizing. on the one hand we have blind cargo culters and on the other hand we have "luddites". Being in one or the other "tribe" is cause for getting insulted or called out. Because the cargo culters want everyone to do what they are doing, just like the RTO crowd. The skeptics want to take a more reasonable pace. One side is we are done this is the future and the other side doesn't see the same results happening to them but the cargo culters think in absolutes and 100% only. It is all or nothing. All these other posts waxing and waning and insulting the skeptics are frankly insulting

how privileged of you! thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you while you centralize my brain power and start charging me a tax on thinking. GTH

Just claims with nothing to back it. Steal people's work of years, and turn around be like I make it "so much better". Support this compiler for 20 years then

Thank you!!! All these resources being spent on centralizing and claiming to outsource and reduce human thinking to nothing.

Humans can hack a compiler in much less. Stop reading this hype and focus on learning
