@darnell I mean, I wouldn't want mastodon to get in the business of secure storage of PII, that's waaaaay outside the scope of this software. Better to make registration approval only and require some sort of application which includes age verification.

My synapse server (matrix) also doesn't have age verification tools built into it. Nor does my prosody server (XMPP), the discourse forum I run, or the IRC server I run. Many of these also theoretically fall under these laws. Each one would be solved via process, not expecting each tool to develop its own bespoke age verification system.

Fresh new instance, fresh new #introduction time.

I'm Erin, yet another autistic transgender anarchist from so-called Portland, Oregon. I used to have fancy tech jobs with titles like "Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer" until I burnt out, got laid off, and discovered that the tech industry was done with me. Nowadays I survive on a very part-time gig as a general technologist and some freelance tech work when I can find it. My part-time gig is unionized through the IWW, of which I am a proud member. I've been on fedi under various names and handles since GNU Social was the cool new thing.

My special interests include Cybersecurity, Casio watches, Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy XIV, the Indieweb, Linux, old ThinkPads, XMPP, Yuri Anime and Manga, and stuffed sharks.

Gavin Newsom threw trans people under the bus, palled around with fascists on his podcast, and gleefully filmed himself destroying houseless peoples' tents, but then he was mean to republicans on social media so everyone is praising him. I hate this country.

Finally deciding if I consider myself on the ace spectrum just so I can answer polls by @cwebber accurately.

(I decided yes, but its complicated)

This is your regular reminder that cops lie, and charges are often trumped up. News reports usually parrot these lies as if they are fact.

@alissaazar You can't verify the integrity of every group chat member, or their devices, nor can you guarantee that those people or devices wont be compromised in the future. The only thing that can keep you safe is not saying anything you wouldn't want read back to you in a courtroom.

Can anyone point me toward some resources on detecting and removing stalkerware on Android?

A friend of a friend has just gotten out of an abusive relationship and I've been asked the look over their phone and computer for any stalkerware the ex might have planted. I'm fairly confident in my abilities on a PC, but not an android phone.

This is a friendly reminder that you should never RSVP to a protest.
