It’s virtue signaling

Among other questionable decisions

“I always chose your airline when it was the cheapest option! Is this how you treat faithful customers?”

So, fewer workers, more energy consumption, less secure end results - to help beta test Skynet and accelerate the end of the world.

And every attempt at trying to make it look unique backfires.

Amazing website, esp. the video.

Europe or EU?

If you put a name that may seem a bit non standard they will fire that verification immediately.

You mean you also tried with a standard name? What exactly is “non standard”? How exactly is it “fired”?
My name isn’t standard either.

Is there anything else out of the ordinary in your application? Like, payment method, no/invalid smartphone, no/invalid email, no/invalid mailing address, etc.?

I repeat, I had to do no identity check whatsoever. Neither with one other European provider I used.

It does show up now.

If I click on a reply straight fron notifications it does not show up. That’s probably a bug.

As much as I hate AI, and love a good SkyNet joke:

It’s not AI itself doing this, it’s the stuff it’s used for. Agentic AI, Palantir, yadda yadda.

And the delibrately slackened (as they weren’t slack enough already) regulations around it in the USA.

But ultimately it’s an informal way of transferring state power from the people to the companies owning the technologies.

It’s so weird. Where from? I never had any such requirements with any provider, even when I, from Europe, bought something from abroad.

Thank you so much. I have now tagged you “helpful” and it shows up everywhere except for this exact comment. Weird. maybe it just takes some time to propagate, although I don’t see why.

reddit, knowyourmeme, and … kiwiframs!

You, Sir*, just played yourself

* not gendered

What? Where? How? App or web UI?

I wonder… are genitals just as suitable for identification as faces or irises?

Is this a thing for all European hosting companies?

Absolutely not. At least not in Europe.

Have you tried netcup as well?

It was Wish You Were Here for me! On a crappy cassette player, but with headphones.
I must have floated off hundreds of times… didn’t even smoke pot then. I was 14.

Then, a little later, when I did smoke my first joint, it was Ummagumma. The studio part.

Yes, I still remember and won’t ever forget. Music was my first love, and it will be my last.

(This might sound like an ode to Pink Floyd but they were just the best that was available to me at that point)

Yet there are people who believe in agentic AI, and I think I heard that some are actually using it in their daily lives. Not sure I believe them.
