well, they would know your IP did that then there would be an investigation, this is now different.

see, this is just insulting. Makes it really difficult to take your position seriously if you think it's not reasonable for adults to want anonymity while watching porn.

I've been a developer for 22 years, I doubt it would go over my head. I also know it's know if it will get hacked. It's interesting to see a different opinion on the matter, but it's so hard to discuss it without sounding like an argument.

Bluesky are going to require verification - do you think that makes sense? How about news sites? How will you feel when the "verifications" are hacked and released. What about adults who don't want their id matched to porn they watch?

how decides what is considered inappropriate. You started off saying Porn is bad for kid, then music with bad words, what about opinions about Palestine? Criticism of the government. This will be used for censorship, and it's a huge overeach, and kids will quickly learn to setup vpns.

It’s not applied just to porn. Why should it be applied to Spotify?! Also it doesn’t stop anyone watching porn. It stops anyone who doesn’t know what a vpn is watching porn. What you are saying is so wrong and it’s used to science people who understand this bill is about control not protection

Petition: Repeal the Online Safety Act We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.

My 16 yo son Just signed the petition to repeal the online safety act and I couldn't be prouder (you should to: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...). Crazy Labour did this at the same time as they gave 16 yo's the right to vote.

This is a stupid thing to ask but can you follow my YouTube account: youtube.com/@rossdargan. I want to live stream my bird cam but can’t unless I have 50 followers!

The second you have exceptions for who you treat with dignity and humanity it all starts falling apart.

Just spotted this on our work microwave. No idea what it’s trying to tell us.

Something about playing chess that I just love. Can’t beat the classics.

Ukraine flag

Trying to use Microsoft azure ai foundry. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a half baked product released by Microsoft. It’s shockingly bad.

I really took a long time when I decided to buy a superwide screen monitor. What a joy it is to use as a daily driver. Yes it's expensive, but a year later It's one of the few purchases I'm really grateful for making.

Absolutely fantastic time at #ndclondon. Amazing venue, and amazing speakers!

Hope you got the nuggets then 😂

Is that #10?!

An Alexa reminder saying “shave your hole”

My son tried to set a reminder to shave his mole. Had quite the laugh when this popped up on my phone!0

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer.

Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.

ok, now I've finished reading it all. I'm a fool lol. I should delete this to look less foolish, but I guess I'm more foolish because I'm not going to.

Couldn't agree less. If I buy a car and then sell it should the car manufacturer get a cut? Of course not. If I've bought it's mine.

Loving starter packs. Great way to aid discovery of interesting people!

@octopus-energy.bsky.social support from you guys over on twitter was amazing. One of the only reasons for me to stay on there. Will you be using bluesky the same way? It could be great to finally delete my twitter account!

Took this photo in Asda. That web address is very NSFW and is on the back of a barbie toy. They tried to hide it but hid the wrong part. It did give me a good chuckle!

I really like mastadon, but perhaps its a bit to steep of a learning curve for most (but it really feels like early twitter on there and I love that). This feels more like the warm and friendly twitter I miss.

I made it 😂
