These are obvious lies. But whatever man, they just updated privacy policy to say they may ask you to verify age or identity.

No, no, that's not how it works. They will do remaster of old internet. LOL. People are really dumb.

Just parent and educate your children mate, it's simply your personal failure. Have you tried talking to them, you would be surprised, they are not dumb.

Besides this legislation won't solve the problem, it will simply postpone it, while at the same time it will require everyone to do identity verification to access anything. But it's disappointing to see these kind of comments here, as you are clearly individual with limited technical abilities.

Come next election, it will be surprised Pikachu face from many.

This whole thread is dumpster fire of sovereign citizens caught in AI psychosis supporting authoritarian bullshit.

I would say Google Maps regressed, over bloated, showing ads or at least unrelated results. Mysterious hang-ups, where app refuses to work every once in a while.

Pure copium, but what can you do with the deadlines.

They are hosted in the US, legal entity is in Australia, so nothing was gained.

GAME is bankrupt and was a shit for a long time, WH Smith is also closing lot of stores, B&M is selling tat and is half empty. But none of these are toy stores.

Retail in the UK is very much dead, unless you need barber and vape shops.

Nah, it is Patrick Hand, but it looks bit off for this kind of game. I would expect more "serious" kind of font. Like typewriter or similar.

That's because most of the LLM output is associated with low effort spam, and they are not wrong. You keep fighting for LLM rights, lol.

Welcome to the third-party internet. Unless every micro-decision you make while browsing can be stripped down, packaged into neat data points, and sold, you're not welcome here.

There is always responsibility with Railway, that's given. But also taking into account how many big websites went down when AWS was down, building critical redundancy at such large scale is not cheap, and not many companies do it. Same as security theatre, we have redundancy theatre because they needed to sell the CLOUD.

That's the most brain dead take I've seen in a while. Yes, forget about start menu and lets just search everything or use giant pictorials designed for 'blind' people.

Are these users in the room with us. If anything, today's UIs are dumbed down, mobile first abominations.

What's stoping bots to verify identity? This will not work, especially with frequent data breaches.
