i did not!! thanks for link!

this is sounding sketchier and sketchier. so every website that serves 18+ content in Denmark will need to check tokens against a central database upon login? forget censorship and surveillance, that sounds like it plain won't scale well. also does Denmark really expect every website to implement this? what about Lemmy or other fediverse services?

why is this needed at all? why not just use parental controls on devices? why is this such a crisis now, for the first time in 20 years?

I feel like they could just, you know, not do this.

yo mama's so gullible, she participated in an interactive zero-knowledge proof and believed the prover was literally the mythical Merlin.

yo mama's so dumb, she brought poker chips to a Monte Carlo simulation.

doxxing.

what prevents you from leaking your token on the internet, so everyone can use it? it has to be revokable somehow. to be revokable it has to be correlatable, so you can tell where the same token is used across multiple sites. which leads to easy deanonymization.

ZKP is window-dressing. it's still a major privacy intrusion. don't fall for it.

(also, it paves the way for lgbt issues, sex ed, harm reduction and activism to be censored behind the 18+ barrier, but that's a different matter.)

I loved that show so fucking much.

and yes. yes it was.

I'm trans. I hope Newsom falls off a cliff. But if he had been running against Trump instead of Harris I would have held my nose and checked the box, because strategy isn't about throwing a fit until you get the scenario you want, it's about doing what you can with the hand you've got.

I'm trans too, fwiw. I've reached a slightly different conclusion, though I respect yours:

I am going to pre-commit not to vote for Newsom. I'm going to encourage as many people as I can to pre-commit. If Progressives pledge not to vote for him, and the DNC knows they're serious, Newsom will lose the primary. He'll lose because it will be apparent to DNC superdelegates that Progressives won't show up for him, and that without the Progressive vote Newsom will not win the election.

Basically, it's like nuclear war: if you're nuked, you shouldn't retaliate, because nuking back would wipe out all of humanity, instead of half. But your enemy must know that you've pre-committed to retaliate, otherwise they will nuke you.

It's a stupid game equilibrium but inevitable, IMO.

Zalgo captchas would go so hard.

if Progressives are supposed to vote blue no matter who, then Centrists can too. If someone like Mamdani beats Newsom in the 2028 primary they can suck it up and vote for him.

I've swallowed loads the past three elections, it's their turn to take one for the team.

Being trans has nothing to do with anything. How do you know what I've experienced or not?

Are you trans?

Are you a member of any minority group that Gavin Newsom has pledged to crack down on? (I'm referencing the Charlie Kirk interview (you know, the Turning Point USA guy) I linked on a sibling post, where he said he was in "100% agreement" with him.)

If not, you fuck off. It's like asking a Jew to support Röhm so Hitler doesn't get reelected führer.

oh hey that's the jerk that called me a Trump supporter for refusing to back Newsom after all the anti-trans shit he agreed with Charlie Kirk about on his podcast.
