Let me just add this to the stack of photos of life goals.

I would be too.

That’s how they get ya. resist the tracking.

yes please.

Yes. Login sessions and tokens are stored as cookies and sites don’t work without them so they don’t need to be asked about.

No, cookies must be rejected!

I’d like to add more data points.

You have to accept them first though.

That’s not RAM.

pep is wrong then https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#string-quotes

I’m in the habit of single quotes. Don’t really know where it came from, but it also doesn’t require shift, so I’m going to say its easier. It really messes me up when I switch to C.

I’m generally opposed to strict verification. To me the only thing that could justify it is a repeatable study that shows causation between something that the verification would restrict and a negative (not moral panic negative) outcome. Whenever its brought up the “think of the children” comments come out and I am skeptical. It often sounds like video games cause violence excuses. I wanted to know if there was actual justification because to me it seems like they are usually pushed by either religious groups or some group that wants to hoover up data. I have yet to see something beyond moral panic justifying the push.

No, I’m looking for studies either way. Several have been linked here and I’ve glanced at them and plan on reading them a bit more in depth when I get some time.

A lot of what you said is what I have seen when I looked into this before, and part of why I asked the question.

Yes like that. I’ll have to dive into the sources presented.

But your Efficacy, risks and invasiveness, are predicated on the need. If there is no need, the secondary discussion becomes redundant.

And I’m not saying there isn’t a need, but I would like evidence to support the need.

Thanks for the link, I’ll peruse and see what I see.

The question is what is the evidence based justification for the strict verification that is being pushed. The efficacy and implementation is a different question entirely.

More of the first one you mentioned. I tried once, and I had little luck. I found one that had what I thought was poor methodology. I didn’t keep a link.

I’ve touched on a few similar themes myself (see my doppelganger) https://yiffit.net/post/3113251 and https://yiffit.net/post/11919426 Since those posts I’ve joined in a few other places online and I’m not sure I really feel a part of those groups, but I do feel free to just be me there (here too usually). In person stuff hasn’t really changed though. I’ll disagree with omegamouse on one thing, I don’t think the lockdown has as much impact as they think. The bubble building and online validation had been building for a long time, I think it was more of a correlation as opposed to a causation.
