A few things. Firstly, I don’t know how VPN usage has come into this discussion as I haven’t made mention of VPN usage. Secondly, I’ve just not had the same experience. I use a VPN for all my devices and have never had a single issue using Google and it’s services both with and without an account so it could be an issue on your end.

What I find fascinating about this whole thing is the almost universal simping that has occurred in defence of these large websites like Facebook, Twitter (X), Reddit etc. I find it amusing that people who would decry using these large websites suddenly need to defend them.
It’s pretty depressing to see how many people have been ignoring the genuine harm that can occur using social media. During recent filings in the US, Meta hid and defunded research that showed a causal relationship with mental health and social media usage in under 13’s along a myriad of other issues identified.
These new restrictions aren’t perfect and really should be reviewed in the future, however something does need to happen and asking the industry to self regulate has resulted in no meaningful changes occurring.

And yet in your own article it can be quoted:
“Search engines will not be required to implement age assurance measures for users who are not logged in to their services, according to the new rules.”
So I fail to see how you will be unable to use Google.

Please don’t spread misinformation .
Under 16’s can still access websites like YouTube and Google but will not be able to interact (i.e liking videos) and comment on content. They will still be able to view videos and publicly shared content.

Oh I know! It’s the first line from the Clarke and Dawe skit “The Front Fell Off”.
I was just saying the next line!

Well, how was it un-typical?

Here’s a photo I snagged of some tawny frogmouths which had the misfortune of trying to sleep next to a construction site. Not the best photo but they are beautiful birds!

Seems similar to Australia’s love for musk sticks! Thankfully I don’t think actual musk has been used for a long time!

I personally use a mix of grayjay and revanced. Grayjay is missing a few QoL features like a sleep timer. You can always make a burner account for revanced if you want to keep to a single app but honestly I find it works fine when I use it!
- Comment on Cancer rates in Australians under 50 are rising at a pace that's alarming doctors and scientists 4 months ago:
Annoyingly sometimes a main road or highway is the only way to find relatively flat terrain. Where I live the moment you are off the main road you’re into endless hills, makes it difficult if you’re trying to keep your heart rate in a certain range!
Though completely agree about using suburban streets for running. Much nicer than major roads!
- Comment on Erin Patterson found guilty of three counts of murder 4 months ago:
Same, there seemed to be a constellation of evidence but nothing that definitively showed she was going to murder her guests. It will be interesting as I read somewhere that she can still appeal this decision, I assume to the high court if they’ll accept it.

I’m surprised it’s not something that the coroner would be referred to. Though, I wonder if they’re waiting to see what the findings are from the autopsy. From what I had read last they hadn’t identified a definitive cause of death.
