Seems to me, there’s no real way to age verify people. This is pointless.

Want ID? Kids can just upload a fake one.

The app wants access to your phone’s camera, so it can use ai to assess your age? Well I don’t know for certain, but I’m 99.9% there’s probably a way to trick your phone into using a virtual camera, showing images of a middle-aged man.

What ever method of age verification, someone will figure out a way to trick it, and kids will be onto the trick very quickly.

There are far too many people who will benefit financially from this to allow that to happen.

Orly? Can you give me a couple of examples?

I’m opposed to this trend myself, btw. But I just interpreted as a bit of pointless over regulation by a bunch of populist nanny-statists. You’re telling me there’s financial interests involved as well?

You’ve obviously neverheard of the illustrious 8th century Norwegian King, Eystein the Fart.

We could actually improve our democracy by making voting mandatory.

In Australia, we’ve tried that. I have to say, that I personally, am not a fan.

The consequences of forcing politically ignorant or complacent people to vote is that they end up deciding the result of the election, and you just get skilled used car salesmen as your politicians. They know all the buzzwords and three word slogans to keep the politically apathetic tuned in.

I know you mrrrkns absolutely hate it when furriners’ talk about your politics, but it saddens me to see a fellow democracy in such a state. Both these guys are demented old f&@ks! These are the best candidates your democratic system can give you? Really? I know we Aussies have plenty to cringe about, but jeez!

There’s literally a standing US order to invade the Hague if a US military member is tried

Can I have source?

EDIT: Don’t worry, found it

I had no idea that this was going on. I expect that, like me, most people are horrified.

On the top of my head, I’d say a trust-level system would be great, both for instances and users. New instances and users start out on a low trust level. Posts and commemts federated by them could be set to require approval or get deranked compared to other posts and comments.

Good thinking, but devil’s advocate here: might make it difficult for new users to post anything. I can imagine a lot of communities would utilise that feature, maybe even the majority.

Great translate feature. Instant.

I generally only use the Android client. But if there’s any similarity, there’s no way to stop them spamming you with their shorts.

YouTube be like

Anne Summers was even more direct. “The Australian government has to make clear that they will not support Trump if he becomes president again, and the relationship with the United States will change in consequential and irreversible ways. We can’t condone what he will do now nor can we risk the contagion in Australia of what he will do.”

I think that would probably help Trump immensely. Nobody likes being lectured to by foreigners. It would certainly work well with his “America First” narrative.

Best thing we Australians can do is keep a good eye on the situation but our collective beak well out of it.

It’s an online community that people have been using for decades. The fact that many of us can’t use it anymore is a real issue, even if it isn’t relevant to you (believe it or not).
