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
are they really trying to make us ponder an orb to get onto reddit

whatever me and everyone else useful is banned. reddit can do whatever the fuck it wants its just a bunch of white supremacists i think.
there's such a painfully obvious agenda over there with the admins. I got a 7 day ban for knocking russians and saying "slava ukraini" then I got a perm ban a week after that for posing the question "how long until an average citizen with an AR decides to deal with ICE themselves?" because apparently both times I was "inciting violence against a minority" because Russians and ICE agents, according to Reddit, are minorities

Wow who's your butthole guy?
Wtf is this sorcery your post says "1." but when I reply its "37."

Facial recognition in smartphones is a very different thing from basically every point of view. Are you sure you don't know a single person using an iPhone? Chances are they'll be using FaceID to unlock their phone.
I don't think I know a single person NOT using biometrics to unlock their smartphone.
Edit: I'm sure there at least 3 people on Lemmy that don't use biometrics but that doesn't change anything I'm pretty sure
Edit edit: another one! Maybe there are at least 4 people now.
nice to meet you. i don't.

You'd have to get me high on PCP + cocaine + some sort of crazy shit like krokodil to just implant the idea that I need to verify my very existence to a private company to post comments online or to enjoy a website.

Thanks Reddit for giving me yet another reason not to go back

A lot less than 20% when it comes to specific subjects. The great thing about reddit was finding communities around just about every topic or hobby. If 100 people had a passion for something they could meet on Reddit and still have a comfy, somewhat active sub reddit.
On Lemmy you've got generic technology, generic news, generic videogames, generic pics, and almost everything else doesn't get enough traction to keep living. It's a basic population problem, the fraction of people knowing about Lemmy is just not enough to gather around shared stuff. Even those that do use Lemmy are probably not aware of every community attempt that could interest them.
I still see more communities being abandoned than new ones appearing.
There are like 60 highly-specific cat subreddits but only 2 general ones on Lemmy.

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.

I will happily forego any/all social media (and never look back) rather than submit to such an idiotic, intrusive, perverse, and disgusting system.

Your bank doesn't even need to know who you are.
On a related note, Bank of America, if you're reading this, my name is
floop @lemmy.dbzer0.com, and I would like to withdraw all the money from my account. Nonsequential bills please!The banks are legally required to know who you are. It’s part of AML and anti-terrorist financing laws
It’s called KYC or “know your customer”.

Drink verification can to continue.

I don't use biometrics for anything.

Identity does not need to be verified by a private company's scan of someone's eyeballs.
Exactly!

KYC? Isn't that a sex lube?
