  • I still feel (without any substantiating evidence) that having ai capabilities in my OS that can act without clarit y on user permissions or controls, feels like a vulnerability that will be exploited. Any recommendations to switch to if Mint should start introducing this stuff?

    Don’t want an AI to look on the internet and decide my problem could be solved by removing the French language…



  • Can’t say I’m behind the approach but it might help loosen the stranglehold that social media has on average people’s lives. I’d agree that anonymity enables greater levels of toxicity, but I think a greater problem is credibility. Its almost impossible on the internet today to know who is ‘credible’ and if we solved that problem a lot of the toxic content and misinformation would fall into the ‘not credible’ arena and we could treat like fringe fiction accordingly.






  • This is ridiculous and clearly shows both nefarious intent and complete disregard for the GDPR and it’s core principle of data minimisation. There must be a simpler solution to this - maybe through attestation from a trusted third party who has already (legitimately) verified the user’s identity - like a bank. Imagine a user creating and providing a token that allows a one-time request through the open banking standards to receive an attestation on whether or not the user is over 18 - without disclosing the users actual dob or any other personal information except who and how the attestation was made. Not sure if it would even be necessary for companies to store precisely when the attestation was made if the banks themselves record the event.
