On one hand I don't agree with the burqa and don't really think it’s based in Islam and there are plenty of Muslim communities don't that wear it. This however is not an acceptable approach. It’d be like appropriating a head wrap to protest Sikhs. You’re clearly not part of the religion/culture so it isn’t an appropriate method of protest. Also she’s not wearing it right? Like you can still see her legs?

100% agree, unfortunately that’s entirely what they do either directly or by supporting lobbying groups who pretend to be “thinking of the children”.

One state in the US but, fair enough. Though a lot of the wording for this seems account based, instead of an OS baked “kid mode”, which again just seems like a variation of parental control which already exists. The point is this problem already has a solution not being utilised by the majority of the world’s internet user base. This won’t fix parents just buying a device to palm off to their kids, because if setting up parental controls is beyond them, setting up an account for them properly likely will be too.

Honestly, I don't picture this happening. The main problem is parents parking their kids in front of screens or devices with internet access and then just bailing. Most devices have the means to do this and have so for a long time, it’s called “parental control”. It’s been a thing since the late 90s in my experience and probably earlier. The problem is it requires some time/effort to set up. I’m not advocating for the digital ID solution to this problem necessarily, just to be clear. However, even anti virus suited have this ability, routers have this ability, hell even browsers do if I recall but people and parents have been hands off about it.

Now they are complaining and expecting the entire internet to change or blaming online porn companies. The alternative is realising that letting kids have unfettered and unmonitored access to the internet, the place where you can easily view graphic footage of people dying, is actually a bad idea; bordering on neglect. Though this ignores places like Tik Tok, YouTube and a lot of social media marketing their platforms as “kid friendly” when they’re anything but, probably a different discussion however.

I personally think new accounts should be limited here too. The past couple of weeks especially I’ve noticed an increased amount of 1 day old accounts posting scams. Region blocking wouldn’t work due to VPNs and the fact that they’re everywhere. I seriously doubt India and Bangladesh cover 99%.

For genuine new accounts being able to comment but not post for 15-30 days isn’t that big an issue. For a troll/spammer it hugely limits their ability to resume shitting up a website.

Pretty keen to give this a go once the 1.22 update hits. Tried RL dregora, which was arse. TFC was alright but maybe broken? Better minecraft has been solid and I’ve settled there until the update arrives.

You hit on the reason I suspect the website (especially mobile) is absolutely rubbish. To get people to install the app so it can spy on your mic and camera to harvest data for $$$. Jokes on them, it just reminds me why I deleted the app and reduces time I spend on the site overall.

Haha shit, how embarrassing for me.

Unmarked bot poster?

Weird, I scrolled through but didn’t see any of the ✅emojis and assumed it was. Either way, my bad.

Personally, a user made summary or even just copy pasting some of the more compelling bullet points would be preferable to AI summary.

The Russian Embassy released a statement, saying it was "not interested in British underwater communications".

Then keep your ships out of their waters then or don’t bitch if it gets sunk.

"The actions of our country do not touch interests of the UK and they are not aimed at undermining its security," the statement said.

It’s hard to tell these days if the Russian political class is selective towards stupidity or if it’s innate. Do they honestly believe anyone will buy this? Sailing a spy ship through/near their territorial waters, when you have a history of cutting cables and sabotage; is directly in their interests and undermines their security. Especially when you point lasers at their military aircraft. Few things more infuriating than a stupid narcissist.
