  • Well the idea is to raise my kids not to be sexually repressed so they don’t latch on to the first thing which shows them the smallest modicum of sexual attention.

    They are free to make their own mistakes. Hopefully they learn from them. If they don’t then it is what it is. I’m not here to dismantle the western framework of individual liberty for the misguided idea that it will prevent kids from having bad sex.



  • That’s the insidious part of all this - the government will set up captive portals which require you to verify yourself to get outside the federal network. It will start with porn, then it will be VPNs, and so on. This is just a very convenient excuse to establish the infrastructure and process framework which will eventually be used to kill the open internet by a million cuts.



  • When I was in middle school I had a kid who would pay me a dollar per picture to print out porn for him. Of course he got caught and told on me and his mom called my mom and I was just like “no, that’s impossible you put porn filters on the computer.”

    So anyway, the moral of the story is that if you want to raise your kid to be a powerful STEM overlord, and a liar, and an entrepreneur - try to take away their porn.







  • This wouldn’t be conclusive since it would be pretty easy to just hide these payloads in some other traffic stream to a compromised node, which is a super common way cyberthreat command and control functions. If the user never initiates a connection to the host, the payloads just wait around so as not to generate suspicious traffic.

    Obviously the threat model for advertising is a bit different, but there’s no reason someone trying to hide this functionality wouldn’t take similar steps.
