Someone had made a bypass hack that didn’t even need 3D anything, only generated metadata, but the ID vendor has patched it: https://age-verifier.kibty.town/

You’re welcome!

“Lemmy, a decentralised discussion platform for communities”.

I like this one the most out of all the ones I’ve read here up to now.

I think this has the issue of making it easy to confuse it with Discourse, which is another very prominent (non-decentralized) open-source discussion forum software.

No worries, thanks!

True! :)

My biggest fear, and one that is not talked about in the article, is that we won’t have any asbestos removers in the future. Generative AI is being fed it’s own excrement and that’s being leveraged as working code to new coders. When this really becomes a liability we won’t have many left that can fix or figure out the fix cause it will have obfuscated all the usable info.

I think it’s going to be a complete shit show. Here’s the confluence of factors:

• From what little I’ve seen of AI code, it seems to write code that’s even more shit than human devs. I’m not in software dev, but I’m in IT operations and also studying CS. What I’ve seen of AI code in IT (PowerShell scripts) looked like it wrote 10+ lines where one or two would have done the job. In other words, it’s a form of obfuscation like you said.
• I strongly expect that fewer people are studying CS because they’re getting the message that AI is taking all the dev jobs. That’s true for the moment.
• Fewer coders are being hired, so there will be even fewer experienced devs in the future.

I think that this will all add up to a “dark ages” of software development in the not too distant future. There just won’t be enough people to fix all the AI junk, and the AI junk will essentially need to be ripped out altogether. Software quality and security will go down the drain, and it will take forever to fix it, if it even gets fixed at all. I think it really will be equivalent to the “dark ages” (I know that this term is not considered accurate nowadays, but I think it applies even more to this situation).

I’m hopeful for one thing though: that this phenomenon will strengthen free open source software relative to commercial software. If there are a bunch of devs who can’t get dev jobs, hopefully they will spend at least some of their time contributing to open source. On top of that, it appears to me that open source projects have been more resistant to accepting AI code. Let’s hope that this is a silver lining here.

Thanks! I saw this linked on Mastodon but haven’t read it yet.

That sounds pretty wild. Do you have any source for it?

Honest question, is the ActiveDirectory PowerShell module available for Linux PowerShell? I can’t seem to find a clear answer from a brief search.

Discord does work, but i remember that maintaining it updated was a pain in the ass.

It may be better to run it as a Flatpak. There’s not only an official Flatpak for it, but also various third-party clients available too: https://flathub.org/en/apps/search?q=discord

Were you using the Flatpak version? You may have better luck with that. There are also a variety of third-party Discord clients for Linux. I’ve been using GoofCord without issues so far, but it’s early days.

My chief concern is that this wave of enshitifiation will eventually make it to Microsoft’s security support.

That and their general quality control. It’s already been happening. Their updates and new products have been having some serious issues with a lot more frequency over the last year. At least that’s the strong impression I have. Oh, here’s an article also calling this out: https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/08/microsoft_lacks_quality_control/ - apparently they may have started going down this path over a decade ago, but it seems to have accelerated since they started using Gen AI.

The rdp client was renamed “Windows App”, remember?

Wait, let me say that this is not accurate without defending Microsoft (fuck them). The rdp client hasn’t been renamed, to my knowledge. What was renamed to Windows app was the other product very confusingly named “remote desktop client”, which was a Microsoft Store app meant to access things like Azure Virtual Desktop, their cloud Windows service, etc. Yes, incredibly confusing product naming from Microsoft, as usual.

Cool!

I found that Porkbun is even cheaper, at least for .com, which is most of my domains. I’ve been moving everything over for a while.

Haha, I hear you, although it could just be down to being an early adopter!
