Parents certainly care about all the things I mentioned, it even impacts their kids. This approach to safeguard kids online is completely impractical and utterly unenforceable and seems like a total waste of time.

There is no way to enforce any of these types of laws without an iron curtain that clearly violates the first amendment. If you have free speech infront of children in public I don't see how having infinite scroll on your website or app is any different. Parents should parent their children instead of the state. Its crazy how avoident California is of solving actually important problems like homelessness, mental health resources, housing crisis, yet infinite scrolling somehow is a priority.

buying a new car gets less attractive every year.

That is hilarious and an amazing find.

Excellent, I wonder how this might impact things like this:

Good idea for sure

There are very few ways to fight stuff like this and 100% agree this is a good one. I predict we are gonna need so much more of this type of obfuscation to just live our lives normally.

This is essentially a wiretap.

It's illegal in most states to place a listening device in public that captures private conversations, this is basically no different.

Thats a good explination. It does seem extremely noisy and not at all practical for fingerprinting a user compared to other methods. If you have javascript enabled assume you can be fingerprinted.

The crash lawsuit writes itself

This was my thought as well, a good excuse for a slush fund.

Both systems can be bad for different reasons. I'm not making any comparisons.

Personally I enjoy the basic human rights of privacy and freedom of speech which are deeply lacking in the UK system.

another feature of UK dystopia

All i'm saying is its very very difficult to maintain over time as email is largely monopolized. If you send a lot of emails to a lot of different addresses its notoriously difficult to maintain a good server reputation.

- anti-social behaviour orders (ASBO)

- Public Order Act 1986

- John William Gott / Blasphemy Laws

- Public Order Offences: Using "threatening, abusive or insulting" words in public

- Lèse-majesté laws / Seditious Libel

The list is very very long.

The UK gets more absurd by the day.

Unfortunately this is a well established part of their history to criminalize speech they find distasteful.

unfortunately hosting your own email server is nearly impossible if you want reliable delivery. If you don't care about being put in the spam box then it can work.

Yeah same 100%

I'm not suprised Raycast is involved in this marketing scheme. They pollute their own product with ads where they shouldn't be. Whoever is running their marketing team needs a lesson in not pissing off your userbase.

Yeah for sure.

My point is just that fairness in the Olympics is fake and always has been.

Someones Chromosomes are such a poor way to measure their physical abilities especially when the bar is so high for top athletes in the field.

Boxing is often the example given because its someone getting hurt, but when you actually break it down it also falls apart for boxing.

If we measured everyones strength, bone density, etc... in order to stop people from risking injury that would be one thing But basing it on your Chromosomes is lazy and inaccurate.

The point is that "fairness" being tied to whether your Cis or Trans is a hilarious hill to die on when we have advanced medical technology to actually test what we deem "fair".

The differences between cisgender bodies are already so varied that the logic falls apart almost immediately.

For that matter why not restrict rich athletes who have access to training and equipment that poor athletes do not?

The point at where the line is drawn is entirely arbitrary. Gattaca vibes.

Sure, but any test that requires something painful like a spinal tap requires someone to already be in a dire state. What I mean is if it could be done through a blood test prevention would be much easier to test for without needing to have a severe episode first.

Interesting... too bad it requires a spinal tap, not a super fun test to get.

None of it is enforcable, its basically meaningless.

Great job politics!

Like lots of laws that are being written nowadays by octogenarians, aimed at strong arming bigger tech companies into designing things differently at the expense of everyone smaller which ironically ends up curtailing our basic freedoms, privacy, etc... even when the intent was otherwise.

Then again I have yet to meet a politician that actually cares as long as: "this looks good for my campaign".

Regulating big platforms that affect billions of people is one thing but I really wish they would write laws actually discriminating between those platforms and everyone else.

They do not care.

End qualified immunity and see how fast cops start to do their jobs with care.

Winning a lawsuit literally ends in your own community members (not the cops) paying the bill.

I think part of the problem is that we decided at some point that 18 is an age where you become an adult, which for some things in life is honestly way too young and for some things maybe too old but nuance is hard.

It seems to me that giving young kids devices is a bad idea in general?

I'm not sure what the age is when not having one becomes a greater liability for them than having one but I really feel strongly that creating laws around this is clumsy and the issue is still generally poorly understood.

Let's not create laws around stuff we don't really understand well yet?

I'm not a parent so I wish I didn't have a dog in this fight but legislation like this forces me too.

Aside from the fact that legislating how operating systems can be designed is an extremely bad idea, I don't understand how you can create state laws for ubiquitus or open source software that aren't an absolute joke.

completely unsuprising, Hisense is garbage and actively user hostile.
