The optimistic view is that this was an intern project… But the fact it was funded by two councils?

I didn’t like it honestly. A main issue is, for example, the first prompt, if you download a video, it assumes you will share it. Or if you “explore the topic further” you go on a racist rant. I would have rathered the character explores further and finds out it’s BS or something of that nature. The tiktok scene is stupid, where if you “do your research” you get radicalised, so the correct option is to “just ignore it” and then you find out apparently a charity is doing something the government stopped doing (how is that a good thing???).
Then at the end you nearly get arrested if you attend a protest. Not a good message to send.
Another issue is at some point it mentions an “encrypted” messaging app using the term “encrypted” like it’s a spooky ghost and automatically bad.
Also quite sloppy how when you do choose the correct option you literally lose all of your friends. Couldn’t they have had you do research and debunk your friend’s claims?
A de-radicalisation programme would have been very good, but I think this one actually in fact backfires. Part of me suspects it was even made by someone on that side of politics as a sabotage tactic, it’s that bad.

Isn’t that Matrix?
ActivityPub wouldn’t work because it’s not a messaging protocol. It’s a publishing protocol. The closest thing you have is Lemmy- where you have a server (instance) with channels (communities).
It’ll be easier to achieve something like this using SMTP (email protocol) than with ActivityPub.
Matrix and XMPP are your best bets (although XMPP doesn’t necessarily natively have video call, usually you’ll have an accompanying TURN server)
What you can do with email, xmpp and the fediverse is have the same username. It is possible for someone to make a platform which gives you one name and it accepts email, xmpp and fedi. Unfortunately, Matrix, for some strange reason uses the format of @name:server instead of the standard name@server (activitypub might use @name@server but that’s close enough and a lot of lemmy frontends don’t even care for the initial @. In reality that initial @ is probably just being used to ping them, now realising.)

That’s because there is an objective morality and we know the differences between right and wrong naturally. But society can twist them, and it is now and has done many times before.
But let’s also not pretend that God’s rules are all great, either. If the guy who enacted a worldwide genocide and commands fathers to kill their sons is your moral compass
You are seriously taking these concepts out of context to the point of dishonesty. For the “commands fathers to kill their sons” I assume you mean the narrative about Abraham and Isaac. The whole point of that is in a world where people were being sacrificed to a god, the true God didn’t require human sacrifices from men. In fact, the whole story in of itself is a prophecy
Genesis 22:8, 11-14
Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together.
But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Interesting that it was said that God will provide a lamb, but instead there was provided a ram?
So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide” as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
It shall be provided.
John 1:28-29
These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
As for the flood- That is just God purging evil from the world. He is well within His rights to do that.

Rebellion to arbitrary authority and servitude to a God who tells us arbitrary rules like “love your neighbour” and “give to the poor” and “you shall not murder” “you shall not commit adultery” “you shall not steal”, etc…
Yeah bro that rebellion is nothing to be proud of

Denying the existence of satan is definitely something satan would do.

If you really knew satan and there’s any good in you at all, you’ll detest your comparison to him…

It doesn’t seem to really compromise on much apart from screenspace except maybe the camera? With a single yet high res sensor.
We don’t know what chip it has either, nor what the waterproofing is like.

The drawings show that a single concealed chamber will sit directly alongside fibre-optic cables transmitting financial data to the City of London, as well as email and messaging traffic for millions of internet users.
Chamber, as in room, right?
The disclosures will reignite fears that Beijing could be seeking to spy on the information carried through the network, potentially gaining access to state and financial secrets.
Wouldn’t it be encrypted?
