Early 2020s: China enacts laws severely crippling the internet for people unless they show IDJul 2025 (Online Safety Act): UK enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show ID; remains in effect despite initial outcryDec 2025 (Online Safety Amendment): Australia enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show ID; likely to remain in effect despite current outcryApr 2026? (KOSA, made it into the House recently): US enacts laws neutering the internet for people unless they show their IDsEU has similar shit on the table iirc, they're the fucking EU they love regulationThis will get worse, and this won't go away, at least not in the way you want it to - it'll be an impossibly difficult sell because "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" Security theater is notoriously difficult to reverse, just compare flying pre and post 9/11. This'll probably be more of the same. Again, UK already had a petition, the gov there just laughed in everyone's faces. Only way any of this is really "going away" is, like, the internet itself going extinct.Not just this btw, also got countries banning Chinese social media (which in many cases can ironically be less restrictive), Android banning sideloading, etc.This won't get kids playing outside again. They'll just watch only the government-OK kid-friendly TV, YouTube Shorts, and AI. Sheeple will still use a heavily policed internet and talk to Amanda the AI HR Lady because "brain need dopamine". China's still full of internet addicts despite having long had one of the world's most censored internets.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
They tried some age restriction laws in the 90s. They tried similar laws a lot of times since then but the internet wasn't a serious propaganda medium yet and most users and the corporations that catered to the hated the idea, so those laws got fended off.Only in the last 10-15 years has the Internet become truly relevant to politics, has it become mass media. Only in the last 5-10 years has the general population become online enough to be influenced significantly by online speech.So it is no surprise that attempts to restrict that speech really picked up in the last decade. Of course the way lawmakers work for these things is kind of conservative. At first things are too new for them to have a mental model of the situation, so it takes a few years until they are calling industry leaders to testify before Congress (remember Zuck and other CEOs doing that in like 2018?). Once they've wrapped their mind around it, the lawmakers must gauge public support for certain measures, but this is hard unless someone in a similar political system has passed similar laws. Some US states and FVEY countries passed some minor laws and eventually some of these anglosphere countries had success with age verification a couple years ago, and those are coming into effect now.Since there is very little pushback against these laws even in similar systems, everyone now knows how much political capital they have to spend to pass one, which is why they are finally succeeding. At the core of all this is the fact that passing these laws wins you more points with the public than you lose. Most parents support these laws, and they're on the internet now. A few principled computer nerds aren't going to outnumber them any time soon.

There will be a point where they ask the public to buy and user their products right? But what will that be? A phone? Some AI companion robot thing? The way most companies make money make money is to sell stuff, good or services. So what are they going to sell? And to who?What is all this for what's the end goal?
iirc the endgame is robotics. amazon and tesla are hoping it takes off. nvidia is happy to provide as much shovels as possible. openai is trying to capitalize on inference but they already lost the war to deepseek. the only way they're staying competetive is by the USA government helping them out with mr trumps "dey cant get those damn chips!!!"
considering theyre depopulationists, probably something to do that.

>He claims to care about software freedom while installing DRM on every computer he's ever owned
>>107536978If your definition of DRM is that there isn’t source code available, sure, it’s all DRMed. Furthermore, no, they don’t sign API calls, this is why literally every steam game that doesn’t implement extra DRM (Denuvo or something bespoke) is instantly cracked, because you just stick the same Steam emulator DLL in the folder with the game and it runs.

Maybe unemployment isn't so bad....ha...ha
>>107539214It's getting to be pretty common
>>107540844It's more likely than you think
I know this general is focused on the unemployed in tech, but the overall unemployment rate, job market and economy across the globe is pretty dire. When will things get to the point where people are simply fed up and start making noise? Gen Z protests are happening lately, when will this become a global phenomenon that makes an actual impact?
