A black and white photograph of an Alpine hut behind a lake. There is a forest behind the hut, and mountains in the background, as well as some trees in the foreground.

A black and white photograph looking down a valley in a mountainous area. There is a peak in the left of the image, with a scree slope below it, and a gentler slope on the opposite side of the valley. A forest is visible in the distance further down the valley. Other mountains can be seen in the far background.

some photos from my first rolls of film
guess i have yet another expensive hobby now lol

I don't get that but maybe my mobile browser is just blocking it (GrapheneOS Vanadium)
There's a small banner on old reddit but nothing on the new site

Ofcom won't care as long as they're fulfilling their OSA duties
Even if there is an Equality Act case, that isn't Ofcom's job to enforce

idk
it isn't like you can't access this stuff on mobile devices at all, it's the mobile app specifically, going to reddit.com on a mobile browser works fine
but i guess it still makes it harder to discover for people who primarily use the app which is bad enough

This seems to be a separate thing that's just been made much worse by the OSA, but there probably isn't much you can do about it legally, platforms are within their rights to block more than they're legally obliged to for under-18s

How is this okay? Reddit seems to be classifying all new LGBTQ+ subs as 18+ Posted in r/lgbt by u/AutumnTx_ • 5,093 points and 175 comments

LGBT subs being marked as 18+ on mobile has apparently been a thing for a while and not just in the UK (old.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comme...)

The OSA doesn't prohibit them from blocking more then they're obliged to
There are harsh penalties for not blocking enough but no penalties for blocking too much, so they decided to blanket block everything marked 18+ or NSFW rather than manually categorising each sub according to OSA rules

I absolutely don't agree with the OSA, but it doesn't say anything about LGBT content, at least not yet. This is all on reddit for classifying LGBT subs as 18+ on mobile

Apparently "family and parenting" and "religion and spirituality" are also 18+ on mobile for... some reason

I'm actually in the UK with no VPN and can still see LGBT subreddits fine

Apparently LGBT subs being marked as 18+ is only a thing on mobile for some reason, but isn't only a UK thing

btw if you operate your own pds you can just make nginx lie about you having passed the age assurance verification test

bluesky being such an open network means it will be one of the easiest to bypass without a VPN

i doubt bsky will try and make it harder to bypass unless ofcom forces them (the OSA was clearly not designed with decentralised platforms in mind, so who knows what they'll do)

i don't think bluesky really wants to do this, it's a legal requirement for all platforms with a "significant number of UK users" starting from the 25th (even foreign platforms risk being blocked in the UK if they don't comply)

tldr: custom client, custom PDS, or a ublock rule for the web app (or a VPN would work too)

just not verifying is also an option for people who don't use the stuff that will be blocked (viewing content marked as explicit and DMs)

if you use the official pds install script you can modify the caddy config to do the same thing

I think in the US they call them GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter)

Bitrate also matters a lot, and a 1080/720p bluray has a higher bitrate than a lot of 4k streaming services

wgpu's WebGL backend also Just Works pretty well in my experience

What’s a number (or set of numbers) in your field or hobby that might seem unrelated but anyone else in that group would recognise in an instant?

1.0 1.5 2.2 3.3 4.7 6.8

A heavily zoomed in view of a Julia set rendered using single precision floating point numbers, showing heavy artefacts due to floating point precision. It looks like heavily pixelated blobs of colour in the colours of the nonbinary pride flag.

the IEEE 754 pride flag or something

i'm sure a large part of it is just money/marketing
film projection can't capture all of the dynamic range of the negative, so these films weren't really intended to be watched in HDR
but the dynamic range is there in the negative so film studios can release an HDR version and make more money!

afaik film negatives actually have a pretty high dynamic range, so we kinda did use HDR back then
