This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

At least they owned the liberals, right?

It must be real inconvenient to have to turn on a VPN, it's like a whole button that they have to click, Libs totally owned. Meanwhile the actual weird idiots that voted for this can barely operate a mouse and so they actually do have to suffer the consequences of their own decisions.

well yes it's inconvenient to have to pay to pretend to be in another country to access a website

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Then there’s “normal” websites that use cloudflare and blocks vpn access for no good reason (looking at you Home Depot and Lowe’s), or worse yet, they redirect you to a country-specific website based on the ip location.

Big box stores vary prices by regions. So no vpn makes sense.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

That’s why they have the ability to lookup and select a store. I actually opened a help desk ticket with Home Depot and they did eventually fix it so vpn is allowed. Lowe’s I kinda just gave up by that point.

Soon they’ll start recording you jerking it to cross reference with previous sessions as identity confirmation.

"Verification is carried out by 3rd party". Totally no potential to misuse of collected data.

Why no, they specifically mentioned it being highly secure

I wonder, how many of the verification photos are shirtless?

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Easy solution! Just make a profile before the photo verification was implemented

I don't care if kids see porn.

If that's the worst thing ever, justifying this invasion of privacy, whoop de shit. Let 'em.

There's a lot worse on the internet. There's a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck's sake, at least with "four horsemen" excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, people agree that those things are bad.

It's absolutely reprehensible that you think it's okay for a child to see an infomercial
