Good one Apple TV + Paramount.. you’ve encoded the studio master directly to your CDN

Only the audio track is completely off sync by some rather large margin (closer to minutes than seconds)

Also, hey @paramountpictures.bsky.social - would you mind giving Apple the 4k master instead?

In other news, streaming service asks me if I’m over 15 to watch MA rated content.. click yes… watch episode.. the end.

Look at that, I’m all grown up (some might argue otherwise 😂)

Your kids could verify on your behalf 😂 ludicrous

Against my better judgement, I tried using a credit card (disposable/generated) and they couldn’t process the $0.10, without any useful information about why

I then tried a non-disposable and it failed the same way.

So kindly, drop these shenanigans, improve your age detection, and be transparent

@bsky.app
Your age assurance provider is crap

Your age detection heuristics are off

Your compliance with a law that does not presently apply to Bluesky alienates your adult userbase that would prefer not to engage or entrust their personal data to an offshore service with a history of data breach

Don’t know why I said “these days”… but oh the perils of trying to step through window handling code with FSE in the mix - don’t even try this on a single display machine wheeeee

Ugh, FSE these days is a mess to get working even minimally. I implemented it in a fools errand to chase the beam, but it’s some jank ass setup with glaring interop issues.

Fun discovery, FSE + portrait oriented display straight up fails to auto-rotate despite documentation.

Good luck!! Looks like you’re well on your way already!

Amazing, nice work and congratulations!

@jqgregory.bsky.social ooh, I see listings for a 4th Edition.. very exciting!

JFC!!! Now I’m getting email spam for.. ammunition.. why the FUCK would I be interested? do not want, ESPECIALLY after events that are not even a day old. Fuck this timeline.

Between the hell site, over regulation, and poorly implemented age checks - I’m pretty fed up with platform hopping. I don’t rely on DM’s here much, but providing ID to do so is just such an overreach.

As for adult, maybe that’s why they think we’re U16? We simply haven’t watched enough pr0n?

@bsky.app I will not verify my age using a third party. Please provide details on your algo that decides who should be subject to that process, or fix it (you’re not even part of Australia’s ban legislation ffs)

Impressive! I should listen to these guys, I had no idea they inspired such alligator riding crowd surf antics

I’m certain I saw that same alligator at Meredith last weekend. It couldn’t possibly be a different inflatable alligator

Curious that the message I get is slightly different to yours

The great irony being, every platform that is required to comply? I’m good.

Bluesky, not at all required, and I’m impacted.

Even more odd since just a few months ago Bluesky said they didn’t have the resources for this.

Did anyone in Australia escape the banhammer on bsky? Presume they think everyone is only as old as the platform itself

Seems I’m safe on Reddit and the hell site for now

Oh good. DM’s are on of those features. Get effed

Ok fine.. hide-my-email it is..
constant spinny thing brokesded. #spinspinsugar #thiswillbefun

Not at all intending to actually give KWS facial data (I say that now).. but LOL

I mean, just use my profile pic ffs

@bsky.app any way to proceed with KWS verification without giving out email address at the first pass? bluesky handle should be sufficient to see what verification options/methods are available past the jump. I don’t care what other platforms they provide services for.

Great.. “some features” are now disabled. What features are those? Fuck knows.

First hurdle to certification with KWS? They want my email address just to get started. How about fuck no?

Hey @bsky.app, I am absolutely NOT going to fucking share my personal data with a corporation that will be holding said data outside of my own fucking country.

Kids Web Services (aka KWS) is a subsidiary of Epic Games and they have had data breaches in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2021, 2018, 2019, and 2023.

Counting down to see which mega corps think I’m too young to use the internet anymore

Honestly not great, limping since yesterday and I don’t even know why. Perhaps a POKE will sort it out

I dare you 😂

I imagined this to be written on the back of the golden throne toilet door and lightly chuckled…
