What? The @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu using children as cudgels to beat people into compliance?! They would never!

Replace that Spotify logo with the one for Bandcamp and we're in business!
The more the government extends its surveillance over the internet under the pretence of "won't someone please think of the children", the more I'm inclined to go back to physical media.
What's a good Hi-Fi head unit with both cassette and MP3 CD?
I need to start building my physical music collection back up.

Australia: G'day mate! That wasn't very successful, was it!?
UK: Blimey! We announced something like it and our prime minister quit, innit?!
France: Hold my baguette!
Quoting
🇫🇷🚨 FRANCE BANS SOCIAL MEDIA FOR U15s → EVERYONE TO VERIFY THEIR AGE.
“For four months, all of us in France will have to prove our age,” said digital minister, Anne Le Hénanff 😡
If you're in France → you'll need to user your ID card, France Connect, or facial recognition (selfie) to log in.
🚩 What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans. 🚩
We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!

That was spectacularly delivered and I'm honestly a little surprised at how well received it all was.
Major kudos to the ECI, Stop Killing Games, and Ross Scott for doing this!

I think it's going to make AI-bros even more obnoxious when posting to bug trackers.

Having worked in tech / tech support roles at different levels in different companies and in different countries, one thing has been constant: Some people just don't read. Properly or at all in some cases. I got really jaded at one point because I thought it was my fault! Then I started to see the pattern and the specific people that did it and, yeah, it's 100% what you say. Not that you can ever bring it up to them, because they're just gonna react poorly to that too

I feel called out on the dismissive nature of those chromebook remarks!
My main laptop is a chromebook with coreboot running a proper operating system!
I think it's because I keep seeing the hardware == software misunderstanding a lot these days from the less techy crowd that it bugs me.
Anyway, you may block me now.
