I’m just here to say KOSA is coming and I’ve decided that this will be the hill I die on. I’m not scanning biometrics or uploading my id. I don’t give a single shit what I get locked out of. I know this is not strictly google related but very likely many people will be pissed when they find out they need to age verify just to use a Google account. I’d like to here other people’s plans for mitigation.
It really depends on what ends up being required. I’m already pretty much degoogled. I already can’t watch age restricted videos on youtube and if it changes to require ID for any videos then I just won’t watch youtube anymore. If ID requirements spread further to things like domains, email providers, etc then I may not have a choice because of my work situation. It could be that I have to find a new employer or career and rework my personal services to be hosted locally. From a technical perspective it’s possible but it could be really uncomfortable.
that’s if all the hardware cost collusion don’t end up eventually squeezing us out of hosting locally.
true, although I don’t need to scale and I currently have hardware suitable for my needs that is quite old already.
me too, but hardware doesn’t last forever.
Yeah, I’m on the same painful boat right now.
