What could go wrong with a requirement like “Post a selfie to get access to NSFW content” ? Tit for tat or tat for tit? https://mashable.com/article/reddit-age-verification-check-uk-law-online-safety #privacy
Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits
The change is due to new age verification laws in the UK.

The @gizmodo.com headlines are so ridiculous. Can we move on from the “almost free” and “($vendor) will be so upset” theme? What idiot falls for this click bait? Try a new prompt.

After driving a few cars with jog wheel/joystick interfaces vs touch screens for Apple CarPlay, I’m not a fan. IMO is unsafe. So many times I could have just reached and tapped vs playing games with turning the knob or moving the stick to try and navigate to the correct place.. huge distraction

To be clear, “dark patterns” are for when people think use of AI is unfair? Call it the algorithm or dark patterns.. same same.. in the end it’s always about optimizing the outcome.

Noticing more of what I’m calling “vibe restaurants”. They have the insta ready decor, beautiful plating, but the food is nothing interesting. Sad state where the dining experience is judge by the pictures and not the flavors.

We’ve been taught to believe that the menace to society was the fraternity alpha male. It isn’t. Society is being subjected to the sociopathy of a bunch of tech CEOs who, in my view, did not get laid enough as young men.

So Roku is testing ways to make their customers buy an Apple TV. This ad injection into a device used to view paid subscriptions is nonsense.

Can’t work today. The volume of Slack messages has overheated my laptop drive and caused a full system meltdown.

It’s only an illegal boycott if you’re no longer free to make choices. Free market means I can buy products I want or advertise on what platforms I want.

What’s the over under on all of this “policy” just done to drive markets down enough for those with capital to buy low and take advantage of the “recovery”? Is this just government level market manipulation?

Not surprised. It was a trend and there was never really the ability for the community to support so many craft brewers. In general alcohol sales are down so, sadly, we will likely see more closures https://apple.news/A-FplKeXfRTqMpC8oC-nZ3Q #beer #brewery #atl

At the gym and there are two adjacent TVs.. Fox News vs CNN. Quite the contrast.. fox spent 30 minute stoking panic about trans vegan death cults while CNN was talking about the legality of NY governor’s potential action to remove Adams a ps mayor. Fear is a powerful motivation and news is boring.

Is there some money laundering scheme tied to car washes and liquor stores? They are building them at a density that just doesn’t make any sense.
