My guess is it’s as loose as the definition for being a terrorist according to the US.

We can’t even get them to upgrade our infrastructure to the 21st century in some cases so good luck with that. We still got shit running on Windows 7 or even Windows XP.


This isn’t sustainable. Almost all of our infrastructure runs on computers and eventually it will reach a point where you have a computer in charge of vital infrastructure that won’t be able to buy replacement part and it’ll just fail.


It’s definitely hard to tell someone’s tone when it comes to text so i appreciate you mentioning that. I understand the confusion as I wasnt very clear in what I was talking about which is 100% my fault. I went a little off the handle and got defensive, I will admit, and I apologize for that.
I guess the point that I was trying to make is more so that we have many different ways to do it for years I was talking about things like captchas. The problem, in my opinion, is that captchas didn’t evolve with the Internet. We’ve been picking traffic lights for over a decade now and it’s obviously not working anymore. My whole idea with drawing pictures was to make it more human centric than clicking a bunch if buttons. Something that can take in the raw input of a mouse cursor or touchscreen and determine whether or not the movements are “human”. Like a fingerprint that doesn’t identify you. If it sees too many predictable patterns it flags it. I just feel like there’s a lot of wasted potential in older human verification systems that have stagnated. We’ve just accepted bots as the norm online and the company’s in charge aren’t doing a damn thing besides saying they’ll do something with no action.
It’s definitely not the right choice, but I can see why he’d do it. Silence would have been better. If he’d have said nothing nobody would be arguing about him.


Yeah well I don’t really care for your opinion and I wasn’t talking to you. I appreciate the feedback, though. The person above seems like they actually have social skills outside of calling people “chuds” and “neckbeards” as their only respone so I’d much rather talk to them tbh


I do not like Iran or their government, but I do find it funny that it seems everything they are doing is specifically designed to piss off Trump and Netanyahu. Trump’s biggest weakness is that he’s an idiot and Iran is fully taking advantage of it. Eventually they’ll just let everyone in the world through except the US and Israel.


Kinda, yeah. I was trying to come up with a captcha that’s hard for a bot but incredibly easy for a human. The random intervals was to make it harder to automate and that’s the idea I had off the top of my head. I just feel like captchas have had wasted potential for years and people kinda gave up on improving them.


That was kinda my idea with the whole random and unexpected checking in. It’s easy to get humans to do it for bot farms when you have deterministic times in which you’d have to perform the captcha. Nowadays most simple captchas can be done by bots so I was brainstorming a way you could make it harder for the bots while being minimally intrusive to the user.
From a political standpoint, I can kinda understand why he said this even if he doesn’t believe it. You have to remember that the most unhinged world leader in the entire world is right next door. Sure it’s pretty classless and it would have been better to be silent, but with the warmongering currently going on in the US it’s not a bad idea to be preemptive.
I don’t agree with it and the statement pisses me off, but I’m trying to be a little objective when the US is on the warpath.


But why do you need to talk down to me like I’m an idiot instead of just correct me politely? I’m genuinely curious because it seems to be a very common thing nowadays where percieved confident incorrectness and ignorance is met with distain and anger. I didn’t mean to offend anyone when I made this comment and was simply brainstorming while bored at work.


Cool, you don’t have to be a dick about it. :P I already know that I don’t know much about but I wanted to make a suggestion because the guy asked.
Taxes are cool when they work properly. The problem with taxes right now is that we’re not really getting much benefit for what we pay and those that have the most are not paying their fair share. Not only that, a large portion of our tax money is going directly to those companies that refuse to pay taxes.
They’ll just change a few things and try again. I feel like we’ve been hearing about chat control on and off for about 5 years now and I can’t imagine it’ll go away soon.


How about at a random interval once every couple months it will ask you to draw a picture of a cat in the browser and if it finds your drawing process too similar or the image too similar to one that’s already in the database it will flag it without telling you. Three strikes and your out kinda rule. It’s like drug tests but for the internet.
Even if you did, like, a line across the screen to save time there’s no way in hell it’d be the same as anything else in that database unless you are extremely unlucky.


There are so many ways to do human verification that have worked for years. The biggest reason bots are plaguing the internet is because these corpos don’t really try anymore. There’s literally no reason to do face scans or IDs other than to unanonymize people and take their data.


That’s fucking hilarious lol


Because more people care about porn than open source software.
They’re not skeptical about birthright citizenship in and of itself, they’re just skeptical about this specific argument to end it. If they did decide to end it they’d want it to be rock solid and hard to argue against and not whatever the hell they were presented here.
