I like stinky tofu a lot. I’m Canadian. I’m excited to see my country grow. I’m new to lemmy. I prefer local communities over public ones, until I’m convinced otherwise. I’m bad at writing bios.

  • You’re an American telling a non-American how America needs to be treated…

    Sorry bud but you don’t get to dictate the way non-Americans feel or act. We’ve been responding to this shit for years, we already know how bad it is.

    Americans are ultimately responsible for how long this shitshow continues. So maybe spend less time lecturing non-Americans about America and spend more time lecturing your countrymen.

    Edit: I have no personal qualms with you. I don’t know you. This isn’t solely about you. I hope that’s clear.










  • Almost certainly yes.

    Fabricating ID is what is going to be illegal in literally any country, though if you fabricated the ID type of another country, your home country may or may not consider this illegal.

    Bypassing biometric scan will be illegal in the jurisdiction that the law is enforced if its done with the purposes of bypassing a national law.

    Depending on how archaic your legal system is, it may even be prosecutable if only because you violated the policy of a business in your same nation.

    Because we live in a dystopian hell hole you’ll also need to at least consider legal alliances between countries or organizations such as Interpol.

    This is all a bit of a mix of what the proposed laws are looking like, and some cautious approximation, and some good ol’ sense.

    I’m going to do it anyway if I need to use a service that requires it, even if it breaks local laws.

    Using a trusted VPN (Mullvad for instance) alongside fake credentials would better protect you but your games are also tied to your personal accounts unless you’ve created new ones on a VPN (or Tor).

    You would then need to ensure you never log into that account without the VPN, and should use an OS without overreaching telemetry, and use a single-use burner email always with VPN and a payment method not traceable to you such as a prepaid card or gift card purchased in a place without clear cameras and with cash that’s been shuffled around a little bit, rather than from your bank.

    And even still, I’m missing a ton of other identifying factors, and nothing is guaranteed, and many Tor nodes are compromised, and VPN laws could change and buildings could be raided and even with no logs in theory your data could be extracted from frozen RAM.

    Basically what I’m saying is if you want to hide from the law, you’d better do it right. Or you’d better do it to stand by your principles, knowing the risk. Or you’d better comply - that last one is what they want you to do. OR… you never interact with any service that requires these systems, because that’s the only way to kill them before they become even worse.

    Enjoy the gaming!





  • She is a convicted murderer. Her sentence was death. Her attorney even requested death by hanging but the request was denied.

    So be it. But the state has failed to hand down the stipulated punishment. The fact is that her punishment resulted in a different outcome than what was deemed to be just.

    Doesn’t matter who it is, doesn’t matter why it happened, doesn’t matter how it happened. This was and is a horrendous miscarriage of justice.

    The above are just facts. I’m no judge or lawyer, and I can’t be the one to decide what happens next. However, in my opinion, she is owed something. I don’t know what that something is. But what happened isn’t right and was not her fault.

    So while you’d “just let her rot”, it’s my opinion that this would not be in the spirit of a just and competent legal system.


  • The US government would likely consider such a measure as facilitating censorship," the submission said.

    This is such an asinine stretch and holy moly I think this is one of the biggest admissions of big tech’s true intentions to date, not that we didn’t already know this.

    The United States is so blatantly corrupt. Controlled by big tech. An algorithm off switch kills social media’s black box of manipulation and they know it.

    I pray that Australia holds strong and enacts this. I cannot wait to see the data on mental health effects in those with algorithmic and non-algorithmic feeds.

    I cannot wait for this. Genuinely going to add it in my calendar haha
