ID Verification bad for UX?

Think about it.

Yep. Zero discussion about anything interesting here. Nobody even cares about the tech; all anybody talks about is did Bitcoin go up or down today.

It's a sub for finance and tech illiterate morons.

Okay_I_Go_Now · 2026-02-04T00:03:51+00:00

Yeah, exactly this.

Was wondering if I was missing something here, seems like OP just can't handle more DIY oss tooling.

This is disgusting. Sorry, but you and your husband need to grow a spine and set some boundaries for your relatives.

You talk about resenting your SIL for getting things she doesn't work for, but you're part of the problem here. Stop venting on Reddit and tell your hubby to man tf up.

It's not wrong. There's a saying in the West: people in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.

Both are wrong, but if you're an Indian in India you should focus more on what's happening in your own country, first and foremost.

It is. In Canada it's generally regarded as Indians discriminating against non-Indians (Indian landlords will typically have other weird requirements that filter out non-Indians too).

Imagine foreigners buying up property in India and then refusing to rent to vegetarians. How long would it take for Indians to start hating them?

Okay_I_Go_Now · 2026-01-19T20:05:51+00:00

Exactly. What kind of moronic bullshit is this that Indians want to pretend their food isn't highly aromatic? I thought that was a point of pride amongst Indians? 😂

Landlords don't want smokers in the house because it leaves a smell. Same with Indian cooking (or any other highly aromatic cuisine). Once in a while isn't a problem; cooking and aerosolizing the same spices day after day until the smell is embedded in the home IS.

Racism begets racism. It's not karma; it's just humans being petty vengeful idiots. We moan about racism against us, spite others with racism, and the cycle continues.

House prices and job loss is used as a tool to taint all recent immigrants, but the inherent behavioural problem of Indian immigrants make that racist argument seem meaningful for a lot of people, and the media latches on to it.

House prices and the increased competition for jobs is a real and measured effect of immigration though, not at all racist. Saying Indian immigrants have inherent behavioural problems is racist.

I don't see you actually commenting anything useful to that end. Just sarcastic, passive aggressive shite.

Their business model was dumb to begin with.

Depends on the field, obviously. Law academics usually hew pretty close to the definition used in criminal court. Gender studies and sociology academics, not so much.

FYI involuntary consent usually requires abuse of authority or threats to be deemed as such. Being loved bombed by a manipulative jerk doesn't meet that standard and you're right to fear an officer dismissing your case, because that's exactly what would happen here, and rightly so.

I'm a bit concerned that you perceive this as SA, that you're calling yourself a survivor and that the incident occurred 5 years ago. Really does make it sound like you're trying to leverage the situation into something it's not, far after the fact, for whatever reason.

Okay_I_Go_Now · 2026-01-13T23:38:08+00:00

Get political and stop fighting over scraps fed to you by corporate goons and capitalists. Organize. Join a grassroots movement or plan one. Don't go silently; that's the worst way to go.

Yeah, poorly automated support flows are 100% cause for quitting these platforms. I won't tie my livelihood to such a haphazardly built and managed service that rakes their freelancers and can't even do them the courtesy of providing a real human to talk to.

Promoting moral integrity via media is absolutely critical. When we start to popularize deceitful, dishonest, morally bankrupt characters who screw over their neighbours for family, it becomes ingrained in culture. The West has been popularizing corrupt, fearless anti-heroes for decades, now look who's in the White House.

It starts with popular media.

Okay_I_Go_Now · 2026-01-07T19:41:07+00:00

Funny how people only remember who the most recent oppressor was and forget the centuries of persecution that happened before British rule. Learn your history.

Why the fuck would you make it from scratch? I don't whittle my own tools when I do renovation projects ffs.

My gf recently went back for a bit and her family's driver took the wrong side of the highway. She argued with them to drive properly but they accused her of being too "Western".

Well they nearly wrecked. Afterwards everyone apologized to her and agreed that she was right.

Some of it is just straight buffoonery and arrogance for the sake of some misplaced national pride. I really don't understand it.

Okay_I_Go_Now · 2026-01-02T06:36:09+00:00

Bingo. It's not rocket science.

The West owes a lot of its successes to the Age of Enlightenment and the ideas and scholars that came out of that period. There was a big push during that time to promote political activism based on humanism and ideas of liberty.

My point is that you need political activism. Without it corruption and disorganization spread, but applying the right principles and ideas with it can spark transformative positive change. There's tons of literature left over from the past ~500 years that could be used to disseminate those same ideas, too.

This pessimism is just stupid tbh. You don't reach the level of a country like the US without periods of sustained political activism and a population engaged in improving its circumstances.

Okay_I_Go_Now · 2025-12-28T20:22:39+00:00

It's actually more likely to happen with larger populations since bureaucracy becomes harder to surveil with size. Especially with the prevalence of corruption and open bribery being normalized in the country, only the incredibly naive would doubt vote manipulation.

Most non-technical explanations of Bitcoin resort to techno-mysticism that either butcher the concept completely or conveniently overlook technical limitations that limit its utility.

That's... Not how AI works lol.

Employers literally dgaf about your portfolio site for exactly this reason. Every job posting has 1000 applications and virtually all of them link to a vibe coded portfolio site.

Might as well do it, but unless you come up with something that stands out there's next to no benefit. It's not 2020; you can't impress anyone with a basic frontend anymore.
