I just remembered what this grok ai waifu thing reminded me of. There was a JP chatbot app thing a few years ago that was a chatbot of megumin from Konosuba that was the same shit minus the creepy facial/outfit recognition shit and coomerism.

Buried deep in Mac OS 9's disability acommodations, where almost nobody ever found her, there was a semi-animated anime girl face that would respond to your voice commands.

What made her happy was being able to understand and help you. When she couldn't, she looked worried.

They even let you name her, as if she had no self until you granted it to her.

Literal sex slavery.

I can briefly explain the state of Web browsers. There are currently 3 real web engines: chromium (chrome), webkit (safari), and gecko (firefox). Chromium is basically a monopoly which allows Google a great amount of control over the web as a platform. If you make a web engine, you need to be constantly chasing Chrome to remain compatible, and Firefox is a dying project that is increasingly failing to do so, with Safari now being more web-compatible than Firefox, even though Safari is not being developed at an increasing rate. Safari and webkit have their own big issue of being practically exclusive to Apple operating systems and not really having an extension market beyond the Apple app store (also they have similarly restrictive extension restrictions as manifest v3, and iirc it's actually more restrictive). The biggest problem with this is that Google now basically gets to tell good adblocking to die in a fire for most Internet users, since manifest v3 has a limit on the number of filters that adblockers can use, adblockers are no longer allowed to modify a page using a "block element feature", and prevents adblockers from updating their filter lists frequently. It's not all doom and gloom, since web browsers that develop their own built-in adblockers, like Brave and Vivaldi, are not affected by these restrictions on filters and updating, but they are definitely still worse than Ublock origin. The only hope for the web is the continued development of the currently pre-alpha Ladybird web browser (who are making their own web engine without any Google, Apple, or Mozilla code) which hopes to release its first alpha version for Mac and Linux next year. The Ladybird browser is being backed by some big names like FUTO and @larossmann, Shopify, Protonmail, and Chris Wanstrath (co-founder and former CEO of Github). Current list of sponsors can be found here.

Reddit users in the UK are now being required to follow the UK’s new digital ID laws and verify their age before accessing content deemed unsafe for minors, following new state-imposed demands under the UK’s new censorship law, the Online Safety Act.

This latest step in the government’s push to regulate digital spaces compels websites to install digital ID checks in the name of child protection, at the potential expense of user privacy and the risk of stifling free speech by removing anonymity.


Starting 14 July, Reddit introduced a system that forces users to confirm they are over 18 through external verification.

Partnering with a company called Persona, Reddit is demanding either a selfie or a government-issued ID, such as a passport, to unlock access to mature content. Users unwilling to submit such personal data risk being blocked from entire swaths of the platform.

The move is not Reddit’s idea, but rather a forced adaptation to looming enforcement threats from Ofcom, the UK’s media regulator.

Ofcom has made it clear that sites hosting certain material must implement what it calls “robust” age gates or face heavy financial penalties. “We expect other companies to follow suit, or face enforcement if they fail to act,” said the regulator.

While Reddit claims it will not retain images or full ID documents, it will log a user’s verification status and date of birth to allow easier access in the future.

Persona, according to Reddit, “promises not to retain the picture for longer than seven days” and will supposedly not touch any browsing data on the site. Despite these assurances, the fact remains: the state now requires people to hand over personal identification simply to access legal online discussions.

The full enforcement of the Online Safety Act begins on 25 July, and Ofcom is already signaling that noncompliance could result in fines of up to £18 ($24) million or 10 percent of global revenue, whichever is greater.

Even more alarmingly, the regulator has been granted the power to disrupt business operations entirely, potentially forcing ISPs to block sites or pressuring advertisers and payment providers to cut ties with platforms deemed non-compliant.
