  1. The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZTeEN2HT0

    What does online age verification laws actually have to do with the ENABLING of collecting data from children, China's surveillance and censorship laws, and the profits of companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google? A lot more than you think.

    In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down the real agenda behind the push for operating system age verification. From California's Digital Age Assurance Act to federal proposals in Congress, they have come from the same source. I trace who benefits, what laws get quietly gutted in the process, and why the timing lines up suspiciously with China's own digital surveillance rollout.

    What you'll learn:
    — Why Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta all win if these laws pass
    — How age verification effectively nullifies existing laws that protect you and your children like COPPA and the Privacy Act of 1974
    — What already happened in the UK under the Online Safety Act — and why it matters for America
    — The striking parallels between Apple's product rollouts and China's surveillance
    — Why this isn't about protecting kids at all but more about removing the remaining barriers SO THEY CAN TRACK THEM

    This is Part 1 of the Plain Meaning 12-part Plain Meaning Special Report. Links to all episodes will appear as they're released.

    California's law takes effect January 2027. There is still time — but not much.

  12. Vibe Coding is...well. I can tell you in various places what it isn't. It isn't fun when someone decides a bug is a rare error condition that isn't their responsibility to quash, particularly when it's in an #OperatingSystem.
    You don't get to fly the plane. The fact that that bug is now flying the plane and your on board isn't a comfort to the rest of us...

  20. Hi everyone! 👋 I know it's been a while since I was last here, but I had a very specific reason for it. I've spent the last few months with my small team intensely developing a project I mentioned to you once before. Every moment of my inactivity here was simply coding, designing the architecture, and endlessly solving problems :heart_cybre:

    Today, I am proud to announce - LibreConnect has moved past the phase of vague plans and become a fully functional app! :flan_hurrah:

    We managed to deliver what was absolutely most important to us - an ecosystem connecting your 💻 computer and 📱 smartphone that respects your privacy 100%. Zero external clouds and hidden telemetry. Everything is based exclusively on a direct P2P connection within your local network and strong E2E encryption 🔐

    So, what can our app actually do?
    - Virtual camera and microphone from your phone :blobcatcamera:
    - Mobile device file manager right from your PC 📁
    - Notification and clipboard synchronization 📋
    - Receiving and sending SMS/MMS from your computer 💬
    - Two-way media playback control 🎵
    - Remote keyboard and presentation control from your phone :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
    - Finding your phone by triggering a loud alarm (overriding silent mode) 🚨
    - And a few other minor conveniences :sparkles_fiery:

    We also made sure the project is truly cross-platform. LibreConnect runs natively on :linux: Linux, :apple_inc: macOS, :windows: Windows, and :robot_3: Android. It's worth mentioning that the app isn't limited to just x86_64 architecture - we support ARM64 as well! To make updates easier, we've set up our own F-Droid repository, along with native packages for Linux package managers (APT, DNF, Pacman) :fdroid: :archlinux:

    The code is 100% open-source under the GNU GPL v3.0 license :github: However, I have to be honest - the project is still very young. The app is highly usable, but it still requires optimization, might have some silly bugs, and can occasionally be unstable 🐛

    That's why we need you so much right now. For the continued development of this app to make any sense, we need a small but engaged user base. I encourage you to install it, test it out, and report bugs, and for those interested - to join the project as contributors (you'll find a CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo) 🤝

    If you like our vision, leaving a star ⭐ on our GitHub repository is the form of support we would appreciate the most. It's these stars that will allow us to take the project out into the world! Because of this, for the next few days, my activity here will focus mainly on promoting the app and its features - we need your help to build the right momentum. Thank you in advance for your support! :blobheartcat:
