       I see Google's "developer verification" surveillance as in line with the "age assurance for the kids" surveillance.Both are clear examples of how companies with business models *predicated on data collection* who failed to moderate their platforms effectively. Meta failed with Instagram and Facebook, Google failed with the play store, etc.And now -- rather than address the root cause -- they want to *collect more precise data*.

       Meta's push for age assurance and Google's push for developer verification are both misrepresentations that:1. align perfectly with their business models; and2. Get them off the hook for fixing the problems they created.Don't fall for it. It's a con job.

       Some updates and improvements to Hopscotch, including a name change!The testing setup process is now significantly streamlined, and I put in better support and documentation for testing on macOS and using the Chrome browser.https://www.machinegobeep.com/posts/updates-and-improvements-to-hopscotch/If you want to test the software you use, get in touch!I'd be very interested talking with both parents and people working in school districts.

       There is no such thing as AI art. Even the premise of this is ridiculous.

       If your solution to bad age verification is "better" age verification, you are part of the problem. Reject surveillance. Age verification is a tool and a goal of fascists.

       This post is awesome, and I predict aftermarket shops offering to remove car surveillance to spring up in the next few years. It shouldn't be necessary, but it is. https://arkadiyt.com/2026/05/13/removing-the-modem-and-gps-from-my-rav4/

       @stux There are so many of these needed, so I figured I'd help.
