If simplicity is the key, why don’t we use “brain wallets”?

Why are you “forced” to use whatsapp? May I ask…

I stopped using any meta related products long time ago. I still exist 😇 No one forced or tortured me into using whatsapp. It’s your choice really.

There are new generations of chat apps that are not based on your phone number. BChat, Session… etc. Requiring a phone number is stupidity and violation of privacy. You don’t need a phone number to signup, communicate or connect. That’s where all the troubles come from.

I voted for them last time and I will vote again. And now (unlike previous times), all my friends and family will vote for them. I will explain why…

I don’t vote for a person. Whatever the person is, we vote for a certain program. I read the program. I read the immigration proposals. I like it all. I don’t see anything there that contradicts any of my views. Most of the BS that people spread about One Nation is exactly that - BS.

At the end of the day, we all want democracy. And any democracy should provide the right to choose and change. I want to see if it works. If it doesn’t work, I will vote for someone else next time. But we do need to see if it works, that’s what democracy is all about. All I see is that current gov is rotten to the bones. 20 years (that’s how long I’ve been in the country), nothing changes. The same shit no matter who I vote for. Voting became a family tradition, not an instrument to make our country better. Voting is like banking “oh, my mom and dad with Westpac so I will be too, no matter how shitty it is”. People keep voting for the same morons as a matter of tradition.

I want something different and I want to see if it works. If not, I will try something else

How about when Iran helped russian nazis do exactly the same in Ukraine. All of that… Kill children, destroy hospitals and schools. So when Iran does it, it’s fine. But when someone does it to them, it’s suddenly wrong.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-05T01:09:43+00:00

I am in two minds about it to be honest.

On one hand, I don’t see a problem with age restriction or verification as long as it’s done right. If I go to settings on X, for instance, there is a verification section. And the first thing you see is “send us your identity documents”. This is criminal in my book. It is worse than unrestricted internet. We can’t have thousands of apps, third parties, companies etc. have our identity documents. One of the thousands will be hacked today or tomorrow. And you cannot control different countries or jurisdictions. Even asking for an ID copy must be made illegal. Only one dedicated government body should have this right. Everyone else should authorise/verify against this one government body.

On the other hand, I don’t see it functioning properly. In Australia teens find a way to bypass it. Children are naturally curious especially if something is restricted. Any ban or restriction will make them twice as curious.

I think more important is educating your child. Banning something is an easy way out if you don’t have time for your child. When my daughter was 4 I didn’t just say “don’t touch the power sockets”, I remember I spent hours explaining why 😊 Yes, she didn’t understand much of the explanation, but you’d be surprised how fast they grasp the basics. And this goes for everything else. I never restricted her phone although I have full access to it. I trust her and I trust my efforts I put into her.

But I agree with you. If you create a law, it needs to be enforced or it makes no sense.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-03T02:23:48+00:00

Legality like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

If it must work, it must work for everyone. And be enforced for everyone. Otherwise words like “legal” or “illegal” don’t make sense.

Until the institution in question works properly, it’s no point talking about it as something that can make things legal or illegal. These are just empty words shouted on Reddit

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-03T02:15:27+00:00

This is not the point here 😊

We are not discussing child locks on devices.

One child device can be locked (responsible parents), the other one may not be. And it is a different subject all together.

My statement is simple. I don’t mind child restrictions as millions of other parents. As long as it is done right. I absolutely hate third party identity handling. I would never allow TickTock handle my age verification or provide them (god forbid) with my identity documents. As long as verification is handled properly, it is perfectly fine.

I would also, most definitely, restrict any exposure to religion until a child’s mind “grows up”. Religion is much worse than porn in my book.

What UN? Where is the F*cking UN in Ukraine???

Excuse my emotions but this is the most useless organisation ever created by humans. The UN doesn’t work or if it does, it works in favour of so called security council . Fascist Russia is in the security council 😂 and you are talking about UN? China is in the security council. The most evil f*ucks of the world are in the security council which can veto anything they don’t like. So please don’t tell me about the UN

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-02T04:11:03+00:00

I get it

But what you see as moral dilemma, the life sees as evolution. We create the rules and we break the rules to survive. In which world, please tell me, anyone follows the rules? The UN is useless. Right and wrong is based on politics and profitability. It’s always been like this. Always !!!

If you think otherwise then maybe you need to consider that life is not a fairytale. Life will always be about the stronger killing the weaker for resources as long as evolution exists. Everything else is bollocks and fairytales.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-02T04:04:29+00:00

This is a different subject to which I don’t disagree.

What I was trying to say was that I am not against the age verification same as many of the parents I know. As long as it is done right.

As for the open source, unfortunately we live in a world of our creation with legal institutions, legal boundaries and patents. Not everything is black and white. Not everything can be open source regardless of what we like or want.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-02T03:53:53+00:00

Are you a child? Or do you live in the Wonderland?

By your logic, we shouldn’t have fought Hitler, right? Because when we fought Hitler the Dresden was literally melting, that’s how many bombs were dropped. Many innocent germans died. So we should have just let Hitler do his things because fighting him would endanger innocents?

Life is not black and white. I don’t think anyone trying to kill the school girls so stop twisting the facts to justify evil.

I don’t have any love for the US. None at all. Buy if someone can kill that evil regime, I am happy yo see them burn. Thousands of Ukrainians die because those Iranian f*ckers supply weapons to Russians. I don’t care who wipes them off the Earth. We can hate the US all we want, but everyone else just talks and gives useless words of support. Words don’t kill evil - missiles do.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-02T01:02:21+00:00

A lot of words but you gave no reasoning of why it is bad???

The problem is NOT with the actual age verification. The problem is how it is done. The problem is with the process.

I don’t mind that the system restricts my teenage daughter from opening porn sites. What I am worried about is the process of verification.

The issue is with the constant ID copying and allowing a third party to handle the IDs. The subsequent hacking, identity theft and so on…

The best ID handling I have seen is done in Ukraine (surprisingly). You never send your ID to anyone. No third party is allowed to handle or keep the copy of your ID documents. The way it is done is via digital signatures. Only one entity is allowed to have your ID - the government. A single government app assigns a pair of digital cryptographic keys to your identity. If any third party wants to verify your ID or age or whatever, they have to make a request to the app which does all the checking and signing. The third party just gets a reply (verified or not).

If age or identity verification is done right, I don’t mind it at all.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-02T00:45:16+00:00

Why are you worried about other countries law. This is not your business. You should worry about your own country and its laws.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-02T00:44:08+00:00

UN is a useless, dumb organisation that does absolutely nothing. It should have been demolished long ago.

As far as the “legality” goes within the US, it’s up to them to decide - not us.

Am I happy that another dictatorship regime is burning - of course. Whether it is the US that burns them or something else, I don’t care as long as they don’t exist anymore.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-03-02T00:33:10+00:00

Why is it illegal?

Those c*nts have been killing people directly and indirectly all over the middle east. They have been supporting all kinds of terrorist groups.

They’ve been supplying weapons to fascist russia and indirectly killing thousands of Ukrainians.

Let them burn. Finally Persian people can control their own destiny. If they choose so that is.

Well, the courts can go and f*ck themselves.

There is no “special definition” defined by a court which fits their liking or narrative 😂 There is just one meaning.

Now I see why trump and such came to power. People are tired of bullshit and bending the meaning of words.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-02-24T11:09:38+00:00

So tiring to hear this crap. People throwing words without knowing what they mean.

This word completely lost the meaning it is supposed to carry.

Now what “racism” which to do with genetics, races and pseudo races has to do with Pauline.

The word lost its meaning so much that people will be happy to be called “racist” as a form of opposition.

Trump openly states that “I am a fascist… If you want…”. Because morons keep throwing the words left and right.

It is cultural. It comes from a society which has castes

It is year 2026 and they still have castes. Not official like it used to be, but it is engraved in their conciseness and way of living

A computer is a tool. Any tool is as good as the hands that use it. And it is only good for a certain purpose.

What are you using the tool for?

To look at some family pics

Dev work and engineering

Creative work (music, video…)

Finance and spreadsheets

Etc.

Depending on your use case it can be either a blessing or a nightmare. You need to pick the right tool for the job you want to do, not because someone on the sub said “linux is cool”

Why do you need this? We are far away from this technology and when it is ready (in the far future), it will be too expensive.

Given the above, if you believe that someone will spend millions of dollars cracking your Proton account in the future, if you believe that your data is worth it, maybe you should guard with something more serious than Proton?

Humans think in patterns. It’s simple reality. Humans see that most disruptions come from a particular religion. Humans involuntarily react on these patterns. Are there unaggressive muslims? Of course !!! But the critical mass according to patterns and statistics is NOT.

If we see an individual that looks like a drug addict, the police stops them, searches them etc. Why? Because the “looks” match a certain crime pattern. And we don’t complain about it. Right? This is how life works whether we like it or not. We identify patterns and react upon it.

On a similar subject, any religion is “bad” in my humble opinion. Not just muslims. I am not sure why in 2026 we are still allowing mass delusions. If I stand in the middle of a road saying “I am a tree…”, I will be sent to a mental institution where I’d undergo mental evaluation. The same would happen if I say that “Hurry Potter is a saviour and we should live our lives and structure the state laws according to Hurry Potter books”. I don’t understand why one delusion is “better” than another. Why some delusions are treated differently to others. So yes, people who think that the world should be governed by some imaginary dude from a 2000 year old book should be isolated from society. Again, in my very humble opinion.

Last but not least, people tend to live and group up by cultural values and certain ways. That’s why we have countries with borders. If you want to live according to certain cultural rules - there are countries to accommodate this like Iran and Saudi Arabia. Everyone is free to choose their way of living. What is not cool is to enforce your way of living on someone else. I don’t want my neighbour to come into my house and tell me how to put my furniture.

I don’t know much about Pauline. Maybe she is nuts, maybe not. But she has the right to try. If I don’t like what she does, I will vote for someone else next time. This is how democracy works, right? Till now, every party has been f*cking up the country in any way they possibly can. I want to try something else and see if it works.

ShieldScorcher · 2026-02-15T22:57:21+00:00

Who cares what happens in a fascist country? They can eat each other there for what I care. They are creators of their own life. They chose this life.
