Assuming the Grandpa watches Fox News / OAN / Newsmax, they’ve sold him the lie that immigrants are taking their jobs and going to ruin the middle class, meanwhile it’s they who are having the middle class vote against their interests, gutting healthcare, breaking up families, dissuading workers to unionize, etc. Basically this politically cartoon:
You’ll probably get a kick out of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL-VHe_4GmE
“So, that’s it after 20 years? So long, good luck?”
“I don’t recall saying good luck.”
Is all the heat we get from the sun in the form of infrared light, and if so, wouldn’t we loose all of that if the sun turned into a black hole? Night all the time would be fine, but loosing warm temperatures would not be fun.
But why create a system which inconveniences everyone, introduces privacy leakage, and which would be inadequate to curb the problem? Sure the comparison with booze and cigarettes at point of sale sounds like it accomplishes the same thing to restrict access to adults, but one kid buying a six pack with a fake ID can only share it with a few friends, and if they try to buy multiple kegs for a party with the whole school, there’s is probably some more scrutiny, and of course the cost, which makes it unlikely. Compare this to a code which could be texted to an entire class the moment someone gets their hand on one.
And from an implementation side, if platforms and services exist which don’t comply with the law, for example 4chan [https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/investigation-into-4chan-and-its-compliance-with-duties-to-protect-its-users-from-illegal-content], then implementing these restrictions will just push kids to the unregulated platforms. It’ll have the unintended outcomes, and take away the controls from the parents, which will do more harm than good.
Alcohol / tobacco / firearms can’t be digitally shared or reproduced. Imagine a high school with a mix of 14 - 18 year olds. If an 18 year old can get a valid code without hassle, they can share it with their friends who are in the same class, but are still 17. Or maybe they’ll share it with a sibling who is 16. What’s to stop it spreading from there? It will probably take just an hour for half of the school to get access to the one code. If the system assumes that kids won’t directly or indirectly share their codes with one another, then the system doesn’t understand teenage behavior and is flawed.
Agreed, and for every site which would comply with these rules, there are 10-100 which won’t and are not able to be controlled in the jurisdiction. Teenagers will find a way to get around restrictions, and will go to sites which are less regulated, and possibly not have the controls in place to flag grooming interactions, promoting self harm, etc.
Were you ever a teenager? This would be abused immediately, unless the codes were single use, and in that case it’s a non-starter.
This is the way. I think this is what Apple is finally implementing, but since they took too long to do so, governments have been passing laws which require privacy invasive measures that fill the void. Hard to say if that will reverse itself now that there’s a whole age-verification industry that popped up. Actually it’s unclear to me if the age-verification industry manufactured a problem to push their solution?
Had Apple implemented this in their Parental Controls setting, it would have avoided the government intervention and shady age-verification companies from popping up.
Tell that to the current maintainers of chardet: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327
Spoiler: They’ve heard it, they don’t care
In addition to letting the website owner know about the issue, I would reach out to Troy Hunt with your evidence, so the data can be loaded into Have I Been Pwned and the affected people notified.
That seems like a broad generalization, and for specialized software that requires newer hardware, you’d expect to find the rate of bitflips crashes much lower than 10%. You could argue that since Firefox is supported on older operating systems, longer than the support lifetime of the OS [1], it’s likely Firefox is being used specifically to get the last bit of life out of the hardware before it gets trashed.

I’m pretty sure it’s him from the meeting with Zelensky in the White House that was really bad, and Rubio was pretty silent during while Trump and Vance were criticizing Zelensky
I think it’s a reference to Trump wanting to install the new leader of Iran (modern day Persia). I guess they’re implying that Marco Rubio as Secretary of State would be picked?? And this edit is showing him like Xerxes, the Persian King, with this depiction similar to how he’s seen in the movie 300:
If he’s still alive in 2028, they’ll have Donald Trump Jr on the ballot, but still have rallies with him like they do now, and it will be obvious that Jr’s dad is still pulling the strings to continue the grift
And someone in leadership who isn’t about to die of natural causes.
Fringe is worth it for the White Tulip episode alone. For me that was when the series changed from a monster of the week series to actual art.
One I dont see mentioned often is Dark Matter which I think is pretty underrated.
Is this incel humor? Is it supposed to be funny?
