Waauw, you really are unsympathetic.

Have you ever looked at how age rating systems work?

Good example: they are already used for example to censor the idea of non-heterosexual relationships (1). Don't let them expand it, or give them even more tools, please.

Your stated goals already are achievable with existing tools.

How does sending a header with extra information make the world a worse place for everyone else?

It still requires arbitration of every digitally communicated thought, whether it's age appropriate and to what degree. It's mass thought policing, as well as trying to enforce a cookiecutter morality on every person.

I get the desire to enforce thoughts on someone else. But fight it, please. At least let people be free in their own mind.

Especially since the tools to achieve your stated goal, protection of your child(ren), are already available. So you can perform your censorship desire in the confinement of your family bubble. No need for collateral damage.

Or just block wikipedia and use one of the many encyclopedia websites designed for kids instead (1), (2). This has the benefit of having your goals met, without making the world a worse place for everyone else.

Which has been possible for decades now. People are just so dumb and lazy they rather accept a deep invasion of everyone's privacy.

Allow listing sounds like the better solution. Ie the device had a list of remotes approved by the parents.

That way there's no need to police every website in the world in perpetuity.

Adult privacy will be compromised.

Goal achieved. "Think of the children" is subterfuge.

Seems like you use the phrase "highly regulated" differently then me. You use it to describe solely the amount of control a government exercises on companies. For me it also includes the control a government exercises on people.

From my point of view the law heavily restricts, as in highly regulates, people's freedom to be. That's the mistake. Doesn't matter the specific implementation, acronym, task force, ...

Cloudflare does a lot of things from DNS to tunnels. Can you describe the part you're interested in?

has no business doing it.

Reddit is doing this as a response to regulation as well (1). Governments all around europe (2) are turning communications into a highly regulated environment ("for the children"), because they're afraid of people communicating and having thoughts. UK is just one of the early adaptors.

Because all the alternatives will have to implement similar shit as well. It's UK law.

I've once attempted to open a bank account where they wanted video proof, and expected me to say a randomly assigned phrase, to solve the issue you mention.

I didn't do it. Fucking KYC is BS.

 

Is your dog allowed in your sofa? How do you keep it clean? Washable covers? Looking for ideas and tips. 🐾🐾

 

I've got a small off grid place near a pond. The pond is nice to ponder at, but also a lovely breeding ground for mosquitos.

Therefore, I keep the door to the cabin usually closed.

But, as temperature is rising, I'm wondering if a screen door + some naturally mosquito repelling plants near the entrance might do the trick as well. So I can get some air flow at night.

Are there any such plants you know of? Preferentially perennial.

I'm moving soon and I've 0 instinct for that, so looking for help and ideas :)

 
 

I'd like to learn about taoism, the teachings and their historical context.

Do you have a suggestion for english language works on the subject? How did you first learn about the subject?

Does anyone perhaps have a good suggestion for english language works on the subject?

 

is violins in movies, and sax on tv

 

On the one hand, I think OCR, text to voice, image to text, ... has improved quite a lot.

On the other hand more and more stuff is locked away in apps, and javascript blob websites, so I can imagine it's harder for accessibility tools to access information.

But I'm just guessing. Do any of you know first or second hand?
