and now all of that work is gone because his account is deactivated. maybe ("de")centralising stuff like this on a user account was a bad idea?

Trump is ‘hiding something’ about Epstein and here’s why | Destiny YouTube video by Times Radio

absolutely crazy that @thetimes.com would platform a guy who self admitted to possessing csam, and have him weigh in on the most notorious sex trafficker on the planet! youtu.be/0B0w9SrqKXY

This is how dictatorships behave

r/sexualassault is banned. it's a community for survivors of sexual assault.

r/drugs_ is allowed. it's a community that "do[es] not advocate for drug use but for drug knowledge medically and society wide"

where is the consistency with this act?

@mattrodda.bsky.social, given that you voted for this legislation, could you please defend your position on why this critical resource to help survivors of sexual assault is being blocked for minors? #ukosa

hey fellow uk #reddit users, try accessing r/sexualassault.

oh, look. you can't. thanks #ukosa!!

Sextortion warning: In 6 hours, my son was dead Jenn Buta has been campaigning since her son was targeted by sextortionists in Nigeria - a hotspot for scammers.

also add "teenage rape survivor unable to get help for their grief" to the list of people who will be harmed/die, i guess.

not like any teenagers have killed themselves over a traumatic sexual assault involving photos of themselves.
oh wait: bbc.co.uk/news/article..., itv.com/news/2024-04...

nb: the posts are visible in the 1st screenshot due to the 2nd being taken first, as the subreddit fails to show at all on a 🇬🇧 connection without first connecting to a vpn to cache it.

if there are any other brits who haven't yet attempted to access this sub with a vpn, could you?

We don't have to push children into poverty.

We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled.

We don't have to aid and abet genocide.

For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore.

also that last one can apply to straight people too! fetishisation of trans folk (specifically women) is prominent in cishet male spaces. how do you think these people will react with their preferences in pornography be leaked to their entire contact list?

consider the closeted gay who now has to deal with those "i hacked your webcam" blackemails not only be real, but be tied to their face. you think they won't consider taking their own life?

consider the closeted trans kid who is too scared to come out to their homophobic parents. with "nsfw" (a vague and overly broad term) content being blocked, they may never be able to access gender affirming communities who can help explain their feelings

just putting this on record: a non-zero amount of people will die as a direct cause of the #onlinesafetyact.

some (hypothetical) examples below.

i believe this would be called an "anachronism"

so glad i was able to use this quote in conversation today, re: ai. #extrapolations

"man creates blockchain.
blockchain draws power.

increased power draw causes
sea levels to rise, which, in turn,
wipes blockchain clean."

sure that's probably fine. i think most would prefer ambivalence over hostility

i take this back. be cool, host your own dns.

how many drow does it take to change a lightbulb?

zero, they get their slaves to do it.

after quite a lot of proompting the image generation tools by #openai (and paying them £20 this month), and a little bit of gimp & ffmpeg trial and error, i have an avatar of me i'm kinda happy with! you might see them in a youtube video near you soon ;)

@t3.gg not sure if this will be resolved in an upcoming release, but imo the numerical font in t3.chat ain't the best.

- the 7s look pretty bad with the cross-bar (that's how i'd write them irl, but it just looks weird with ligatures),
- i thought the 6 was a ó at first glance
