Oh I know it’s what they want. They’ll still u turn though once they loose enough in the polls after the media rip them apart. Just like every right labour try to bring in ID cards. Then after they loose the next election Reform-Tory will bring it in and the same media will wank them selves so much over it that you’d think Farage got milkshaked again.

Don’t worry. They’ll U turn in 6 months once the political damage has had a really good chance to fester.

I might consider using voice prompts on Google assistant if it wasn’t so terrible at understanding me. You’d think after over a decade and with all their resources Google could have made it better at understanding a British accent. It still gets about 1/5 words completely wrong.

I’ve never once seen a video on pixelfed, it’s a photo platform.
The others I’ll take a look
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Forums like the fountain pen one and and the photography one you suggested are a Reddit replacement. However, sometimes you want to watch a video though. So they’re not good YouTube replacements in my opinion.
Pixelfed is great as an Instagram replacement, but again no videos.

No, seriously.
I did a tour on that sickening sight of a sloop.
Once we sighted a Yankee lay low down with gold. She was broad and fat and loose in the stays, but to catch her took the Antelope two whole days. Then two cables away we shot our 4 pounders which did f all except make an awful din. The Yankee returned with one fat ball and stove us in!
Wish I’d stayed in Sherbrooke.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 2 months ago:
While overall poverty rates have improved considerably in recent decades, several individual countries have experienced a rise in poverty. As previously mentioned, 696 million people still live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $1.90 (INT) per day

He could just gift all of those people $1400 each which would keep them above the poverty line for two years and still have a shit load of money for himself.

- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 3 months ago:
the “trucks” in your example are the users computers/phones.
No it’s the packets being sent from the 4chan server.
Stopping every single packet (or in the real world truck) to check it isn’t feasible, do that and you get 20 mile queues up the m20 (and the digital version of that). Plus any government trying to so it like that would get accused of tax payers money due to the insane amount of resources that would be needed.
Placing the responsibility on the company makes sense, so does issuing penalties for non compliance. The company that has a fine issued against them can of course ignore it if they’re set up outside the country that issues the fine. But they should then expect the country issuing the fine to escalate. If they don’t pay and don’t comply they can expect to have any assets in the uk seized and eventually get blocked from operating entirely. And probably have any executives arrested of they enter the country. Ofcom can’t just jump to getting a court order though because they need to be fair and give 4chan a chance to comply if they want to.
The problem with the online safety act is that it exists at all, and that they expect people to use third party authentication services many of which are operating from countries with poor data protection regulations. That said, as iit does exist the logic of saying that companies are the ones responsible for what people access from their servers does make sense.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 3 months ago:
now, some enterprising individuals have taken it upon themselves to buy, smuggle, and then sell those beverages inside the UK
Wouldn’t it be more akin to those individuals putting the alcohol into 4chan’s trucks that are taking other stuff to the UK? (and worse with 4chan’s knowledge)
In that case do you think it’s unreasonable that the uk government imposes penalties for 4chan refusing to remove the alcohol that they know is there from the trucks.
And then if 4chan then refuses to pay said penalties start to not allow them to bring any trucks into the uk at all?

Lol did you accidentally search for something like ‘where to get the worst English breakfast in London’?
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 3 months ago:
It’s a process. They need to issue the fine first to give them a chance to pay rather than jumping to blocking it. If they continue to refuse to pay that’s where it’ll go.
