The device doesn't just phone home while driving. It does it constantly. It's likely that any tampering would alert the vendor and by proxy the court.

Not sure that I would really agree that these are backdoor. Since disabling the vehicle remotely is kinda the express intention of this device. Just a consequence of how they designed them to not be circumvented by the operator.

This will be very useful. I knew what the issue was just never had the time or willingness to find the proper fix. Thanks so much.

Fuck Verizon for this exact reason. Never buy from them direct if you can help it.

At least for the California and Colorado laws, it is only attestation. But you also have to realize that, with how this law is defined, this only applies to parents setting up a account for someone <18yo.

Seconded. The only configuration that I felt I needed to do on debian out of the box was install Flatpak and enable flathub repos. Everything else worked.

I see many people disparaging the family. Saying that this is what they get for voting for trump. (unconfirmed, people are using them encouraging others to vote as reasoning to call them Trump supporters... Which is so awful and hypocritical.)

I hope people can remind themselves that these are real people with real lives, dreams, and concerns. No parent should have to bury their child no matter who they are.

Please also remember that service members are not given a choice to opt out of a specific president. For all we know the service member could have been the most stout democratic supporter.

You are more talking about how this debate came to be. My central argument is more about how the debate cannot end.

I am not sure how abstinence only being the only acceptable option is any better than it being the best option. If anything it just strengthens my argument by showing that the Pro-life side will not accept any other form of education. And the Pro-choice side will also not accept any other form of education. This topic is a nonsequiter for both sides.

Again being Pro-life does not necessarily mean that they will vote for dismantling social services.

I simply don't understand why you insist on assuming that they are lying.

Demonize: to portray (someone or something) as evil or as worthy of contempt or blame.

Is that not what you are doing? You are blaming them for voting how they do.

Ultimately I think we have reached that 3rd situation. I have decided that nothing I say is going to change your mind on this and am choosing to walk away.

I can't comment on the prenups as I have never even considered marriage.

I am not disagreeing with your opinion on device level age verification. I am interested in what you think we should do to protect kids online. There has been a lot of talk about this being the wrong way to do that but very little discussion on what other methods we could do.

Would you be opposed to a "this computer is used by a child" checkbox and just that true/false would be passed to apps?

Most of them are also owned by a single company. Match Group inc. Some of the more notable ones are:

  • Her
  • Hinge
  • Match.com
  • OkCupid
  • Plenty of Fish
  • Tinder

As well as most of the _ People Meet apps. Ie:

  • Black people meet
  • Democratic people meet
  • Republican people meet
  • Latino people meet
  • etc

So it is no coincidence that these apps suck.

Anyone have a mirror link to the original petition? The official site is not working for me.

I don't think that will happen given the strongly held beliefs each side has as well as the polarization in this country.

It also does not help that there are politicians and news organizations out there that are happy to throw more fuel on the fire, driving a wedge deeper between two groups.
