I did expect a bit more ragebait in the article but its just common sense guidance, the police aint gonna be visiting if your child gets hold of your phone.
- Comment on Water bills are rising and thousands are planning not to pay 1 week ago:
I am actively trying to dig my heels in resistance to levels of controls and believe where my money goes as an option to help me fight.
How it’s transacted is another option and you are correct these kind of techniques can be useful. Tactics are used against us as consumers so it should be used in reverse.

Plot twist. They actually want you gambling and addicted to porn. Would not surprise me if there is gov funding for training on how to subvertdly access it

You do realise the consequence of sharing that you can do this? All the new propaganda media gonna have a row of kids with his face AI’d all over. 6 hairstyles but same face…all saying their life has been saved by the social media ban.
- Comment on Two protesters against the deployment of a US military base on an island in Japan have been killed. 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of traffic 2 weeks ago:
Search engines are pretty much redundant because they don’t return what we are looking for.
They cooked themselves.
- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 2 weeks ago:
I think liars is a bit strong. Acknowledging compromise is more my stance. And honestly so many have made promises and then let them down.
- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 2 weeks ago:
Whilst it’s a hard bite I understand the stance. I’m a staunch supporter of the Ukraine and unfortunately they have had to make comprises on their position. TBF I think they have balanced well. I am a supporter of Taiwan, I made an effort to buy their products over Chinese where possible, but then they decided to see parts to the Russians and critique Ukraine.
So I can see how hypocrisy can hurt.
Ukraine the brave.

Would love to see pics of burned yacht’s.
- Comment on Datacenters are becoming a target in warfare for the first time 3 weeks ago:
Who would have thought that all these shiny toys would be so reachable. The rich have parroted this shit and acted untouchable. Its nice to see their infrastructure getting a smack. It like boasting about a fancy watch then walking down the street and getting robbed by a junkie. Tale as old as time.
The innocents in all these countries, and the environments are the ones that suffer the consequence, but what will get noticed is that war hurts production and consumer behavior. Oil scarcity stops people going places, stops stuff hitting the shelves, even the simple mortals like us knew this but the warmongers at the top want to play.
- Comment on US state laws push age checks into the operating system 3 weeks ago:
It’s gonna have to be that way. I saw something here the other day saying they couldn’t check a parcel delivery without an app. Someone suggested emailing daily for an update. I aspire to be that petty.
- Comment on US state laws push age checks into the operating system 3 weeks ago:
I feel like I wanna walk away from the internet for my personal life.
The second problem is just how much has moved online for example processing documents (your passport etc) same as when you have issues there’s no number to ring the store.
So it’s not like we are totally able to. We need to turn it back to how it was. They said use the internet because it made life efficient. We need to take that back.

Impressive
- Comment on I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age 4 weeks ago:
The thing is usually for the bank account you have gone through rigourous checks already to open or maintain and account to prove your age. So face verification via an app is redundant.
We know it’s bull anyway but it’s at least a valid reason for no.
I’m the same as you. I’ll switch to browser and TBh if they piss me off enough I’ll start using cash
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 4 weeks ago:
There isn’t really a choice in Aus. Take a look at how many supermarkets there are in Tassie and who owns them.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 4 weeks ago:
`Current-generation digital tags are cloud-connected and equipped with Bluetooth or NFC (short-range wireless technology used for contactless payments) to communicate with phones. A phone loaded with a shopping app can pass information to the tag about the user’s identity.
The tag then briefly displays a personalised price when the shopper taps the phone.
Mr Oyefeso said retailers could also pair ESL with facial recognition, so that “prices change depending on who is in the aisle or looking at the shelf”. `
Great hey, I think people will continue at woolies. The level of love for monopolies is crazy. But hey house prices are going up.

Same. I live small with little, I choose to recycle and not waste, I underconsume. I work to help others. Progressive and proud.
It pisses me off when those around me complain about the young, if the young can’t build lives they have nothing to conserve.

- Comment on Preserving The Web Is Not The Problem. Losing It Is. 1 month ago:
I know this seems like a simple childish comparison but it’s more that for a digital/virtual world we had the choice to build spaces and systems that afforded us real progression. We didn’t. The greedy got their hands on it.
Example - If I was building a church in the virtual world what key elements does it need? Who owns it? What can it give? How does it fund itself?
I know it’s more complex than this.
