            Note: the article is from 2019. I imagine facial recognition software has gotten better in the last 6 years, but who knows.

        There wasn’t really a viable alternative. The Conservatives were also intending to put something like this in place.

      It’s funny BECAUSE it shows how stupid they are… this is almost toddler-level comedy basics. It’s stupid, disturbing and fucked up, but also funny. Funny doesn’t mean it can’t be anything else, it’s not an exclusive thing. Many things that are bad, wrong, disturbing etc. are also funny.

      I can’t take AI proctored exams because I have a lazy eye and it tracks whether or not you’re looking at the screen. It’s the main thing keeping me from getting a bachelor’s because most associates to bachelor’s RN programs are entirely online.

          Haven’t figured out the best plan. After a quick therapy sesh with the hobos at the bus stop I’m thinking I’m just gonna study the subject matter and see if I can test out of the relevant courses at a testing center (instead of a course with multiple smaller tests).

        If YouTube really was the sole source, and the uploader either was untraceable or deleted the original, I’d pick a different topic. Choose a different assignment. If the job was depending on it, the job is expendable.

      The new Online Safety Act over there. They make you scan your face and follow instructions (step forward, turn left, open your mouth, etc.) to access a lot of websites now. It’s creepy, and something similar seems to be being pushed in every western country simultaneously now.

        Just to be clear the law doesn’t say you have to scan your face. That’s just one option to verify a persons age and websites (and users) are choosing that method. I believe other options are to use a credit card or maybe show some kind of government ID. It’s all fucked but the government aren’t making people scan their faces, that’s just one viable method.

      The stated reason is to protect children from porn and such. The real reason maybe (as it often is whenever they say it is about protecting children) an excuse to extend surveillance as much as possible.

          I am probably on the same side as you are, but I was trying to give TacoButtPlug a somewhat measured answer to a seemingly genuine question. I try to start out appearing as a lukewarm lunatic before cranking the heat up to raving.

      Uk doesn’t have a universal id which is why they are using face recognition for the check.

      You can provide a drivers licence but maybe the guy doesnt have one.
