sony announces plans to exit console gaming market in three years
nobody will buy a box that scans your ID while taking a picture of your child’s face. that’s what a smartphone is for
Unfortunately, a lot of people will. The average Gamer is a treatlerite and would willingly deepthroat the boot if asked to.
Because we live under capitalism everything is done for a profit motive, got it, but what extra money is to be gained for relentlessly putting up age gates on everything that capitalism is doing?
It’s to make linking various records easier. A known validated fields means you can more easily narrow down who someone is when you’re merging datasets you get from databrokers (or can get more money selling that customer data to databrokers).
Ironically, China has way more restrictions on this than even the GDPR. It’s illegal for any company to maintain customer data that isn’t anonymized and even more illegal to sell de-anonymized data.
AliExpress is asking me to age verify through an Israeli company to look at knives.
edit: Fucking nail scissors, are they verifying I’m over the age of 3?

At least I can still buy a nail gun, a vape or pure ethanol.
Good thing the keys to the chipsets got leaked. Hopefully in a few years the console modders will have figured out a script-kiddie friendly method to fully install Bazzite on my PS5
Books it is then!
