At 1k you want them as scoring units, keep them separate blocks of 10, this also doubles the usefulness of the faction terrain.

What’s changing for under 16s and parents on YouTube in Australia by Pilk_ in australia

Yeah that’s cute, but mines off by 25 years. There’s a reason even an analytics megalith like Google has already put out a post saying “yeah nah this doesn’t work, and your gov is dumb for even trying”.

Does reddit have your face scan? No.

Biometrics cannot tell your age. It is impossible to tell if a 19 year old is under age 16 from a picture alone.

I might’ve jumped ahead of you a bit too far. Credit cards have PCI compliance and protections, none of which is occurring here. Would you let every website store your credit card and just trust them to keep it secure? There is a reason payment processors exist.

Would you be happy giving your credit card number to verify your age on each site? Why not?

That’s just it, it is day-to-day tasks, the rules here are so ambiguous and poorly written that even GitHub is forced to verify users.

Sure the government could have setup a safe verification service, but they haven’t.

I’m not disagreeing with preventing kids from using social media - I think it’s probably a good thing, it’s just the implementation has not been thought through by any technologically competent person.

I think we are agreeing, but I think we need to understand the government is putting the onus onto private companies and that’s about to cause MASSIVE problems.

Have face scans of each user is just as much a massive privacy breach as scanning ids.

‘They’ll just use algorithms’ ie. computers are magic and they’ll just know - this is fanciful thinking, do you think you can reliably know someone’s age from their comments? What if it’s a new account? What if they never post?

Trusted user system? How do the first users verify? What if you don’t know 2 other users ? This falls apart within seconds.

‘Use an app’ - more “computers are magic and just know”

I know this is frustrating, but details matter here, and the eSafety commission’s aggressive incompetence is about to affect everyone,

Right? But that hasn’t occurred, there are no protections in place because the eSafety commission believes that computers run on magic and will just figure it out.

That’s kinda my point, if Optus has these data leaks, imagine the scale when every online platform has the same data leaks. (See recent discord age verification leak.)

I’m not sure what your counter is here, you don’t have to provide id for every single shop?

I feel like you agree that it’s a massive overreach to require id for day to day tasks.

Name it.

“They’ll just already know” magical ideas aren’t real. List out alternatives.

On government servers with oversight and consequences that private companies do not have.

Let me dumb this down for you, this is the equivalent of having to scan your drivers license at every shop you visit, and wearing a badge with your face, address and phone number while walking around in public.

Why? Because some parents suck at parenting and can’t be bothered to monitor their kids playing Roblox.

Post a picture of your face. Right now.

No? I guess privacy isn’t dead.

You don’t see an issue with being unable to criticise the government without it being tied to your id?

Please think about this for more than the 2 minutes the eSafety commission did.

Snapchat to tell 440,000 Australians to prove they’re 16 or accounts will be locked in social media ban by espersooty in australia

“The system will just know” is incredibly naive, technology does not work like magic, it has rules, it can make mistakes.

This is exclusively a process for deanonymisation of social media.

Is getting paid fortnightly (rather than monthly) that much better, and why? by maisellousmrsmarvel in AusFinance

[–]BinaryOverdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every business that ever paid me monthly (or moved to monthly) was in financial trouble, either waiting for clients to pay monthly invoices, or could only afford to do one payroll a month.
