From the General Assembly's website: https://www.ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocNum=3977&GAID...

This is proposed legislation, isn't it? Proposed bills are generally off-topic on HN; they're a dime a dozen.

I just provided a more direct link but yeah it is just proposed at this point. The age assurance part appears to be substantially similar (very similar verbiage) to the bills that have already passed in California and Colorado though so I guess we'll see it again in a few weeks or months at this point.

There's already models specifically for things like identifying players in Counter-Strike 2, including which team they're on.

Someone has even rigged up a system like that to a TENS system to stimulate the nerves in their arm and hand to move the mouse in the correct direction and fire when the crosshair is over the enemy.

We are definitely already there.

They documented it on YouTube for us to see:

holy shit that's amazing.

There are some things regular distros can't/shouldn't do, like including codecs still under patents, matching proprietary Nvidia drivers with the correct kernel version, proprietary firmware for game controller adapters, the launching of Steam Big Picture mode as the default UI, etc.

I believe it's: sanm LucasArts SANM/SMUSH video

Popped in that context means hacked. Like in the same usage of pop in "popping a shell".

I do not think he meant it as any kind of physical/death threat.

The domain that the verifier (the site trying to authenticate you) is at is part of the cryptographic process. If the domain doesn't match (ie you're at a phishing site) then the results of the cryptography won't be valid for the actual correct site, only the phishing site (which gets the phishing site nothing it can use).

qBittorrent put out version 5.1.2 over 2 months ago:

  > Wed Jul 02nd 2025 - qBittorrent v5.1.2 release
  > [...]
  > qBittorrent v5.1.2 was released.
  > SECURITY: It contains security fixes for the WebAPI, Rss and Search modules.

Lack of a tagged stable/release version with libtorrent 2.0 for one.

is there a final/stable release with it?

also: is that really such a dealbreaker?

It's been supported by qBittorrent since 4.4.0 released in January 2022 when built with libtorrent 2.0. The official docker images still use libtorrent 1.2 though as that is the default.

Probably not a dealbreaker for most but it might be hindering Bittorrent v2 adoption.

hmm... I just checked the (official?) macOS build and it uses 1.2.20.0 so there's that.

Looking at the downloads (I'm using brew) it seems that not many people uses libtorrent2… (https://sourceforge.net/projects/qbittorrent/files/qbittorre...)

ID.me is actually a private company.

The US government does have login.gov though.
