It’s already happened on reddit, various Gaza subreddits are age gated. Anything NSFW is age gated, not just porn but things from Alcoholic Anonymous to chairs Not Fully Submerged in Water on r/chairsunderwater. XBox Live is age gated, because apparently this wasn’t about preventing kids from seeing porn like they originally said but it’s now about preventing children from talking to adults.

However I don’t think it’s to do with Palestine Action specifically. That’s a separate thing, where an organisation that posed a not-insignificant military threat was dealt with in a clunky way using terrorism laws (which cover threats to civilians). I don’t consider those in charge to be clever enough to set all that up in that way; rather, they’d already planned to use the Online Safety Act in this way and would have blocked anything they deemed controversial regardless.

Lol I didn’t realise lemm.ee actually had communities of any notable size…

Edit: Lmao

The Nordic countries are falling over themselves to get people in to build datacentres. In Sweden, the government literally gave Microsoft the land to build their datacentres on. They’ve got something like 25x 5 COLO 4 Cell datacentres in various states of contrsuction, and I think another 25 more lined up.

Excuses, pathetic excuses. But nothing that shows Palestine Action to be anything other than a Russian asset. In fact, if anything, your hurried response tells tales.

So long as the instance isn’t hosted in the UK and doesn’t use any payment services, I don’t think they can do anything about it. Other than maybe block the instance via ISPs, like they do with piracy stuff.

Bluesky’s implementation of age-based content restrictions is entirely client-side, this is an intentional design decision.

This simply isn’t true. It doesn’t go through Bluesky in any way, but you do connect to a 3rd party service. Thus it is not “entirely client-side”.

You have someone complaining about what people selling AI say it can do, when it can’t do that. You see people complaining that AI can’t do things, when it can do other things.

You need to try and digest what people are saying better rather than just being contrarian.

Isn’t she the one who held up a sign saying something like “Protect Palestine. Action is needed now.”? It’s a bit convoluted to say that was support for the group Palestine Action, and that arrest, search, and home curfew for several months is an appropriate response.

I can’t wait until we have our 3rd dumb fuck vote, after Brexit and Boris, and vote in Nigel Farage. Then the US will go “Hold my beer” and go for Trump for a 3rd time.

The one connecting factor in all this is the Cambridge Analytica style of influencing and stealing elections.

She was arrested at the scene. She was then held for 27 hours, and during that time police searched her home.

I think she was the one holding a sign that read something like “Protect Palestine. Action is needed now” Palestine and Action were on separate lines, and she argued with police that there was a full stop between the words.

I’m pro-Palestine, but Palestine Action seem pretty dodgy. Between attacking RAF planes (which are most likely used in Ukraine, not Israel) and attacking a manufacturer in Europe that allegedly sells to Israel (destroying equipment bound for Ukraine), the things they do seem to have merely a veil of pro-Palestine while ultimately benefitting Russia. At the very least, I have a real concern that the group has been infiltrated and is influenced by Russia.

I do think they’ve twisted the law somewhat to find something it fits into, but feel that action absolutely needed to be taken against the group. Mainly though this is because “terrorism” is defined as “using violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in pursuit of a political goal”. Their actions have been against military, not civilians, and thus cannot be terrorism. But treating them as a military threat would be twisted and presented as an even more inappropriate response, even though that’s what they are.

Edit: Lmaooooo all the lemmygrad and hexbear users came out the woodwork, right on cue. As soon as you mention something Russia isn’t doing…

I’m sure they’re getting right on that with their (checks notes) plans to ban encryption.

“Paid time off work” =/= time off work at your normal pay. There is a very significant drop in income for most people, down to £70 per day, which is £10 an hour if you work 9-5 with a 1 hour lunch or £7 an hour if you normally work 10 hour days. That last one is less than the under 18 minimum wage.

so the Unions are using that to force the government’s hand. Give us what we want or the city suffers.

This is disengenuous when the other side of the argument is “we dictate the terms of your work”. Working isn’t slavery, it’s voluntary, and has to be agreed by both parties. It isn’t “give us what we want or the city suffers”, it’s “give us a fair deal or we stop working”.

I don’t think either approach is working, do you?

In this kind of negotiation nothing “works” until the negotiations are concluded.

Sounds like the Alcoholic’s Anonymous loophole will work, you just need to decide your higher power is a doorknob or whatever.

Denmark is already doing the same thing anyway. You haven’t highlighted any particular advantages of KylinOS over other variants of Linux.

I don’t think it would be wise to install an operating system developed for the Chinese military. That’s just moving the problem somewhere else - instead of trusting Microsoft and the US, you’re trusting China. China are much more likely to have off the shelf hacking solutions for their operating system than whatever variant of Linux you freely choose.

Lmao at David Campbell, City of Bradford MDC Biodiversity Officer’s comment, stealing her thunder right at the top:

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill very much sits in the space Attenborough was aiming at when he said “We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist.”

The reason Attenborough et al are screening it for these politicians is because they’re doing things wrong.

is labouring under about £20bn of debt and is running out of cash.

Claw back the money from investor dividends and management bonuses then.

For me, the bigger problem with how Lemmy is federated is the way comments and posts have unique IDs for every instance. You can’t easily find a comment or post from one instance on any other instance. With users, you just have /user/username@instance, what we need is /post/###@instance or /comment/###@instance. Instead, we just have /post/### and the ### is different everywhere (I think it’s just sequential for every post/comment the instance federates).

Maybe there’s some reason they did it this way, but it feels like the better solution is to have the original host instance decide the number, then every other instance just use their number and their @instance.

Pretty sure that was on the bug list 2 years ago.

Dunno, I was already here :o) just thought it was worth mentioning in a community on feddit.uk hah.
