If you thought covid fascism was bad why wouldn't you care about this? Was covid fascism so tolerable you'll let the government do more fascism?



Found this aswell, I would make it more clear that guest searches are public.


Another option that allows for better privacy and versatility is the website setting a MIN_USER_AGE header based on IP geolocation.


Geolocation to that degree not that reliable and not necessarily 1:1 with jurisdiction or parental intent.

If we're already trusting a parental-locked device to report minor-status, then it's trivial to also have it identify what jurisdiction/ruleset exists, or some finer-grained model of what shouldn't work.

In either case, we have the problem of how to model things like "in the Flub province of the nation of Elbonia children below 150.5 months may not see media containing exposed ankles". OK, maybe not quite that bad, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere.


At $44b, he could have offered over a hundred million people $420 EACH to join. Obviously it's waaaay more complicated than that (KYC, actually building the platform, being profitable, etc...), but with that amount of money you could probably make something significantly better and more profitable than twitter.


Try using old.reddit.com; for some reason the block doesn't apply.


Instead of spending a bit money to build quality and low maintenance facilities on land, politicians seem to like the idea of using barges as housing. Particularly ridiculous example: https://apnews.com/article/britain-migration-bill-passes-bar...

You've mentioned this a couple times. I don't have an opinion on the subject, and a random comment doesn't really tell me anything. It would be good to link some solid studies so people can understand the risks. If you don't have those, maybe reconsider your point.


I don't feel the need to do so at this point, but I do feel the moral imperative to spread the alarm on a disastrous industrial process (when precautions are not taken) that many in the maker movement are woefully unaware of, the same way I would if I suddenly became aware of the dangers of asbestos and was on my way to work when I overheard a conversation among hobbyists about spraying asbestos foam around in their bedrooms without much knowledge of it.


Raise the alarm with convincing evidence. Nobody is going to do anything if you don't bring evidence to the table (as you say, makers are woefully unaware of this). If you're just trolling, I highly recommend this defcon talk on how to do it better: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vcAHbvTlpKA


I think this is the most disgusting fossil fuel ad I've ever seen: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AI2zKNNoUic


When you wrote this argument, you're surely referring to what they actually said right?


Yes, the global middle class is insulated from effects they are causing.
