I’ve spent hours walking around in circles in there
Reminder that you can and should still sign this petition demanding the repeal of the Online Safety Act. A huge example of government overreach which can and will be used to persecute minorities, especially LGBTQ people under the guise of "child safety" petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

UK users when the website asks them where they're posting from today.
The more righteous the name, the more dangerous the law.
This legislation does not protect children. If it did then it would force Snapchat, Discord & other online grooming hotspots to implement proper age verification.
A revenue generator masked as "safety"

Yeah and the “credit card” thing doesn’t work either
What a stupid system
It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the stupid “safety” bill came into effect and multiple friends of mine have been hit with blocks they can’t remove because the outsourced ML face scan models think they’re too young 🙃🙃
This is catastrophic for UK journalists trying to use this platform vs Twitter, will kill DMs for most users and make the experience shit for newbies.

Why does Apple INSIST that Airpods is my default microphone, making my audio sound shit every time I join a call or game. And then I have to reset it manually and launch the game again. And if the Airpods switch to iPhone? I have to do it all over again.
Tbh, that could be a BS excuse for not hiring a neurodivergent person. The amount of discrimination is insane and it’s so easy for them to get away with. Yet you in your 20s have achieved more than they likely will in their whole career.
i thought it was less secure or something
wasn’t there some problem with that tho
