@AlSweigart I went to a protest without a phone and realized I couldn’t easily find out when buses come or pay for the fare because everything is so cash averse now
I’ve been in shops where the staff couldn’t count the cash, so we ended up doing a digital transaction.

Two things:
1. We are creating a two-tiered internet that will see people willing to give up their IDs having one experience while those who can’t, won’t, or don’t have them missing out on those experiences or being outright excluded from whole areas of the web2. Why you would be willing to give up your ID to web services that have such poor security in a time when identity is being weaponized by state actors is beyond me
@Ashedryden
God, I am sooo glad I left when they were swelling, looks like they finally burst. -
@toddz @Ashedryden I know a good bird lawyer.

@derickr @trashwizard @Ashedryden Y’all remember the old days, before graphical browsers? We used to run bbs from a 386 with a 2400 baud modem.
BBS is a relatively low cost, simple to install, Pi friendly way to create networks around late stage capitalism. Is a panacea for our ills, no...but you can roll your own discord type system.
I mean, if governments wanted to keep us “safe” from predators, they could start by arresting all of them in government. Else, it’s just a con.

@Ashedryden Since Discord are so fond of shoving AI shit in people's faces, I'm sure they won't mind if I shove an AI generated face at their "age scanning" tool..

@Ashedryden additionally, not all countries require ID let alone photo ID. Add to that people who can't drive, can't afford to drive and don't own passport (no need if you can't afford to travel).

@Ashedryden I never really liked Discord. Now I have a good reason to quit all together.

@Ashedryden I know a group that will happily give up their id. Teens, because they are too young and uneducated to know better, and too eager to get their jollies on
