Scan on deez
Lemmy gonna get crowded soon
I wish. I have noticed that I don’t see many Lenny endorsements anymore, I wonder if they remove those (I know my comment has been removed couple of times).
Probably still do quite a lot. I still have my account there in case there are calls to promote the fediverse.
They left Digg posts alone for now though. I know it's another boiling pot, dont have to remind me.
scan your eyes to use social media? don't mind if I DONT lol
I will happily forego any/all social media (and never look back) rather than submit to such an idiotic, intrusive, perverse, and disgusting system.
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩

Create a problem
Sell the solution
So this guy helps create a technology that turns bots up to 11 and then he turns around to sell us a privacy invasive solution to the problem he created? What a fucking asshole.
But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?
I can't believe you've done this to me
Isn't he an accelerationist? To them the more fuck ups we have the more solutions we make, which is pretty stupid of an argument in my opinion.
I agree. We obviously need to make huge changes to how we live asap, but it seems so profoundly stupid to let a few unelected people break things without a collectively agreed upon plan in place.
Tools for Humanity... was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.
What the fuck

And I was worried that it was the Australian Governments Digital ID shit that would be what gets in my way. You know what reddit, just do it. It would be the kick I need to completely drop reddit.
Lmao No
I would not ponder this orb
Lol. The bots to humans ratio will get even bigger if that happens.
It works: You can tell the real humans because they'll be the only ones unwilling to do this invasive bullshit. The bots will just come up with something fake to scan and carry on as they always have.

I mean, come on. We shit on redditors, but even redditors won't stand for getting their iris's scanned just to use the site..
I think you dropped this: /s
They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones. We do not know who else may be watching.
Adam ruined reddit.
(Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)
I'M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO

YES, PLEASE! DO IT!!! Give people more reasons to leave!!
I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you post that.
These companies are really seeing how far they can get away with shit. It's mind blowing.
they already have too much info from their users, same as facebook... years ago things like this were heavily rejected (like PIPA act when the SOPA almost happened)
According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform.
Reddit knowing who I am isn't okay though. Who tf trusts them?

That is perhaps the only orb I care not to ponder.
Just no. I use reddit because it's pseudonimous. I would never reveal my id on reddit of all places, regardless of how useful it can be.
