  Why not remove all age restrictions then? I mean, you can get drunk or start smoking as a teen if you really want to. Yet many don’t, because is iconvenient.

  And I also don’t buy this ‘kids get cut off’ shit at all. You can use Youtube without an account, no problem. You still have easy access to news and websites. You can still network with other people and join, for example, group chats or TS servers. Heck, it’s like, what? 10 Platforms that are (semi-)banned? Half of the people on earth grew up without social media at all, yet some people talk about this like it’s the air they breath.

  That very fact just reinforces my suport for the ban a lot. If you really need social media, just go to the fediverse dammit. It is incidentally not banned and almost guaranteed to be better than the dataharvesting ragebait shitshow with gambling ads that’s mainstream social media these days.

  I mean, if it is illegal its obviously not being enforced

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France bids to suspend Shein over childlike sex dolls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The one reason this weirds me out (without having seen these dolls tbf) is that it was decided something sex-related is too childlike and that somehow makes it illegal apparently? Like, what legal basis is there for it? I have never heard about any law prohibiting ‘too childlike’ appearance, let alone seeing it apllied.

  I mean, have these people seen what’s going on in some (not to say many) anime? There are characters being explicitly sexualized, while being canonically underage. How is one thing okay and the other isn’t?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games with loot boxes to get minimum 16 age rating across Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the problem is less that the legislation is targeted at children and more that it is very easy to circumvent. Unless they start enforcing mandatory age verification for every game / gaming service that is, but even then you could just buy an account or game keys.

  Yes, that’s Liberapay. You may have noticed that I mentioned Patreon.

  They are on liberapay if you want to support the project btw. Combined with Patreon, they sit at less than 700$ a week. That’s like half a dev before tax

  My parents always gave me cooking pots. Small to medium sized ones with two handles are easy to grab and easy to clean. If you need to “use” it repeatedly, you can just put boiling water in it in between uses

  You could choose between chat and chat + stream ban before, why would you want a stream only ban?

  I would be totally down for some trustworthy and transparent verification service that does not store or hand out your data. Since pretty much everyone will need to verify for whatever at some point, I think this would be awesome to have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The last couple updates made it better, but I wouldn’t exactly call Element a smooth experience. For example it recently began to try and access a keyring that doesn’t exist, ignoring the one that I already have readily available, and that works for everything else.

  This is the latest in a long series of frustrating experiences with Matrix in general. To this day, Element isn’t stable, and Element X is somehow worse. It is, imo, a very promising option, but it is also far from perfect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re past that point as well. 4k @ 240 Hz is so good, most people won’t be able to tell the difference to an 8k, 480 Hz monitor. Even if they pay special attention to it. Probably not even in A/B testing.

  There is still room for improvement in the area of HDR, but monitors are almost as good as they will ever get.
