Just updated my iPad.

[joeress@mastodon.social]

Just updated my iPad. It wanted me to take a photo of a credit card. I did not let it. It then told me I might not be able to access certain things. The future is fucking shit.

@joeress That's BS. I never set up ApplePay on an iPad. It's a stupid default and they should REALLY tone down the language.

But, I mean, this is Apple, the only vaguely less rapacious walled garden that wants to own your life lock, stock and barrel.

@joeress in all fairness this is the govt, not the fruity company. And yes, the future does not look rosy. It's rotten to the core.

@dch
Oh, the fruity company has alternatives. It just likes the extra data.

@joeress
Your governemnt is a fucking joke. They censored fucking ninja stars. Police confiscate butter knives. People get arrested, jailed and fined for saying naughty words. You cucks have no fucking rights. You all need to grow a backbone and revolt for your rights back already.

@JorisMeys @dch @joeress Yeah, seems to me that you should be able to get a stamp from the local constabulary.

@joeress Welcome to #Brexit baby!

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@joeress it told me that it used the age of my Apple account to figure out that I am over 18 ‍️

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@joeress … to be clear though, I fully agree, this is not the future we want(ed) and it is not good.

[landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Tubsta @dch @joeress I've been getting more and more offline in recent years, and honestly there are no drawbacks.

[nowayeast@mastodon.social]

@joeress you might need to be over 18 to open an account but you can add whomever you want as a user. When I was 13 I had a credit card. I have an 8 year old as a user so they can build credit now, even though I shredded the card right after it was activated.

[thevampirefishqueen@socel.net]

@joeress Any update to this?

[thevampirefishqueen@socel.net]

@andypiper @joeress We all need to push back on this hard!

[thevampirefishqueen@socel.net]

@dch @joeress Hopefully we can all push back on this hard.

[ash_wood@mastodon.social]

@joeress oh that's so cursed. it appears the future is offline.

[melroy@mastodon.melroy.org]

@joeress get rid of your apple devices. And windows.

[ottermatic@woof.group]

@joeress that is hideous

[mek2600@infosec.exchange]

@joeress Everyone should just take a picture of the same ID.

[gerowen@mastodon.social]

@joeress If it's one of those things where they want to charge and refund a dollar I usually just give them a Privacy card ( privacy\.com ) number instead of my real one, then pause the card as soon as I get the refund back so they can't use it in the future without permission.

[arcadiagt5@mstdn.social]

@joeress Makes note to continue deferring that update…
