  • One state in the US but, fair enough. Though a lot of the wording for this seems account based, instead of an OS baked “kid mode”, which again just seems like a variation of parental control which already exists. The point is this problem already has a solution not being utilised by the majority of the world’s internet user base. This won’t fix parents just buying a device to palm off to their kids, because if setting up parental controls is beyond them, setting up an account for them properly likely will be too.


  • Honestly, I don’t picture this happening. The main problem is parents parking their kids in front of screens or devices with internet access and then just bailing. Most devices have the means to do this and have so for a long time, it’s called “parental control”. It’s been a thing since the late 90s in my experience and probably earlier. The problem is it requires some time/effort to set up. I’m not advocating for the digital ID solution to this problem necessarily, just to be clear. However, even anti virus suites have this ability, routers have this ability, hell even browsers do if I recall but people and parents have been hands off about it.

    Now they are complaining and expecting the entire internet to change or blaming online porn companies. The alternative is realising that letting kids have unfettered and unmonitored access to the internet, the place where you can easily view graphic footage of people dying, is actually a bad idea; bordering on neglect. Though this ignores places like Tik Tok, YouTube and a lot of social media marketing their platforms as “kid friendly” when they’re anything but, probably a different discussion however.

    The Russian Embassy released a statement, saying it was “not interested in British underwater communications”.

    Then keep your ships out of their waters then or don’t bitch if it gets sunk.

    “The actions of our country do not touch interests of the UK and they are not aimed at undermining its security,” the statement said.

    It’s hard to tell these days if the Russian political class is selective towards stupidity or if it’s innate. Do they honestly believe anyone will buy this? Sailing a spy ship through/near their territorial waters, when you have a history of cutting cables and sabotage; is directly in their interests and undermines their security. Especially when you point lasers at their military aircraft. Few things more infuriating than a stupid narcissist.

    You know I had hoped my additional comment on your other thread might have instigated some introspection. Especially since my first one was overly bitchy. Only for it to be wordlessly downvoted and now I see you posting this. Mickey7 wanna explain the joke for us? Because frankly i agree with the other commenters assessment.


  • To elaborate you post plenty of other amusing stuff that does perfectly fine, as evidenced by the votes. I don’t get why you instead focus on the lower tier stuff that gets deservedly downvoted and try spin it as “they’re all no lives, rages filled, etc”. I for one wouldn’t want you to stop posting, even if it comes with the gooner rubbish but the bitching in this thread is just mental gymnastics. You could just as easily cop the feedback and not post it as often if at all. You do you boo but ain’t no one buying this “people trying to impose their humour” nonsense.
