  • French politician told a group of Russians: "My party will make sure Ukraine can never join NATO or the European Union. NATO is a military alliance just seeking trouble"

  • It's the exact same angle, but this helps. I'm now convinced this is not AI.

    Thanks for proving me wrong! It's hard not to be skeptical of videos these days...

  • Is it just me, or does it look AI generated? Here are the things that look off:

    • The wind is blowing the flag, but not her hair (it remains perfectly still for the entire duration).
    • The tree leaves in the background look like they are phasing/blending when they move with the wind?
    • The woman holding the phone in the right of this video seems to be attempting to record, but is not pointing the camera in a reasonable direction?
    • There is almost nothing going on in the video apart from the main character.
    • They are standing in the woods with speakers at a rally?? Why not in the city? And even a park in the city should have some cityscape in the background?
    • Did this happen recently? Green leafy trees are not in season in France yet, I believe? Didn't see the timestamp; it's from 13th of May 2025.
    • Behind the woman that is trying to film, there is a flag in the beginning to the video that seems to walk away by itself? And towards the end of the video the woman behind the woman recording is walking away the same direction, and you can see her head (height disparity with whoever would potentially be carrying the aforementioned flag).

    Anyone have other independent sources on this event?

    Edit: Added things that looks weird.

    Edit 2: Alright, this is not AI. It's unfortunate one has to be so skeptical, but that's the world we now find ourselves in...

  • Yeah, there's no way to be completely sure or safe, for better or worse.

    But even if it's not your own child, it takes a village. So if you are able to, as a safe and healthy individual yourself, you should hang out with the kid and talk about this stuff, and also converse with the parent about the child. I think with all this, there's not a particularly big need of technological intervention. Although some simple restrictions don't hurt.

    Edit: Actually, I just recalled there being family-friendly DNS! This could be a good and simple measure for adventurous browsing. It doesn't do anything for the content already on social media however.

  • There are plenty of apps that both provide restrictions upon the device as well as insight into how the device is used. But ultimately, IMHO, nothing beats open and transparent communication with your kid. Make sure they feel safe with you, and that they can share anything with you and you'd still be on their side. This way, they won't have any reason to hide things from you, in fear of undesirable consequences. With this, the parent also has to actively engage in these conversations, not expect the kid to bring up everything of possible concern.

    There are also parental control built-in with several apps. And on iPhones and Androids there's already one available where you can do things like limit screen time, prevent app installs, and prevent opening selected apps.

    When applying any restriction upon a kid, make sure to talk with them about it so they understand why you are doing what you're doing. It is not because you think they can't handle the freedom, but because with the freedom comes a massive responsibility to prevent harm upon both yourself and others. This is often more effective than any tech monitoring and restriction, IMHO.

    If you're asking about how to prevent them from accessing certain sites, there are some options, but they are easily circumventable.

    Ultimately though, the internet is an unsafe place, where even places considered safe and mundane can turn out harmful. Open communication is key.

  • We already have some measurements in place like the CPS. One can also lose the rights of custody after certain convictions. This is all reactive, however, and in many cases CPS comes under fire for "not doing enough".

    This is all speculative on top of my head, and I expect a proper governmental implementation to be much more thought through and extensive than what I write here, but the gist of it I imagine is something like the following:

    Before parenthood, one would need to take mandatory courses and a governmental theory test (like the test for driving) in order to be eligible to keep your child when it is born at a hospital. This is not meant to be particularly difficult, but to root out the worst, and to educate a bit through the courses.

    All human births are to be registered, and when doing so, one can easily check the parents' records for things like violent behavior, neglect, conspiracies, etc.. This is where I assume most enforcements of this law. (A result of this would be even more children in children's homes, which is another discussion as a direct result of this. (Which the government also has the power to do something about, like creating subsidiaries for foster parents.))

    After the child is born, there should be a wellness checkup at something like the age of 1, 3, 5, 10, and 15, to ensure physical and mental health is good. Both the parents and the child have to answer a questionnaire separately, and if there's reason for concern, queue CPS.

    CPS is also underfunded in several countries already, from what I've heard around.

    This is an example of where a death should never have been necessary to take action:https://youtube.com/watch?v=JBRHS5vErpg

    Because that never goes well.

    Could you refer me to some specific cases? I'm curious to learn. I have a feeling it's most likely due to improper implementation, being either too narrow or too fast. This is a potentially big societal change, and needs time - years - for a proper adaptation.

  • This problem has become so big and deep rooted, that we need multiple approaches over a prolonged period to rectify the exposure and impressions kids (below 16, maybe even 18) are subject to.

    First and foremost, education in every layer: Adults, teachers and parents need to not only be aware of what the kids are (potentially) exposed to online, but be educational about how to perceive it. Blocking is not effective enough long-term (check out the failure of COSA).

    Secondly, it's not the government's responsibility to surveil kids online, it's primarily the parents' responsibility! If you as a parent are unaware of your kid being hateful and a bigot online, you're part of the problem.

    Thirdly, if we are to put any responsibility on the government, it is to mandate requirements for adults to become/remain parents. Just like we have a driver's license to protect the public from accidents impacting innocent lives, we should have something that protects society from having unworthy parents raising assholes and potentially also ruining innocents' lives (read suicide).

    I'm tired of this, sorry for the rant. We need to step up. I'm painfully aware of what this 15 y/o girl has been exposed to, and I know of so much worse things easily available on the clear web, if not on social media.Be the safety net your kid needs you to be, dear parents...

  • When there's no particular need of high definition (nothing here that is small or hard to see, nor particularly pleasing aesthetics), the gains from a big file falls away. And the upsides of a smaller video is that people with poor internet speeds can stream it more easily, and it takes less space on the servers (which are not free to run here on the fediverse).

    Worth a smaller file size imho

    "launching unverified protocols" - does that mean the network fetching is done by the Notepad app, and Notepad doesn't open the browser for this..? If so, bloody hell, Microsoft...

  • A cool guide to everyday etiquette no one teaches you

    Jump

  • That's a bit of the problem these days though; younger generations are not taught what concrete actions are deemed respectful. Furthermore it's viewed as a personal inconvenience for the sake of strangers.

    "Common sense is not that common."

  • A cool guide to everyday etiquette no one teaches you

    Jump

  • Nice post! I don't know how many are or aren't taught these things, as I feel like I was taught most of these myself. I do have some opinions though:

    • Tipping I feel like is a thing very pertained to the US, and shouldn't be considered "good etiquette", but rather altruistic. I.e. no pressure to give tips. Same with the car, but it should still be returned "in an equal or better condition" if possible.Etiquette is not dependent on economic power.
    • Being loud in general is bad etiquette/uncivilized, so the three about loud music, speakerphone, and loudness in quiet public places could be a single entry.
    • Other duplicates: "let others exit first" and "clean up".
    • The coughing shows a graphic of holding the hand in front of the mouth, which should instead be the elbow because of simple hygiene.
    • The part about commenting on someone's food is a bit weird, as it could be extended to "don't share your opinion about my choices unless I ask". Thoughts?
    • I really like the modern inclusion of putting away your phone during conversations!
    • Things that could be added:
      • Value others' time; be on time, and don't be in the way of those with little time.
      • Do the small things yourself, regardless of whose responsibility it is (like pick up something from the floor).
      • Give space when there is space. E.g. walking on the sidewalk, shopping cart in aisle, personal space in the queue, etc.

  • What is something you can't do with 100M dollars but can do with 18 dollars?

    Jump

  • I did the same misreading lol

    To answer the question:Have a healthy outlook on life where money is an integral part of functioning in a modern society.

    Humans are easily addicted to power (a survival trait, in some ways), and money is essentially that, considering what one can use it for (corruption). The more one has, the more disconnected one becomes from the origin of money as a system: A favor system. A healthy life (imho) is one where you contribute to society in balance with what you receive from it.

  • Poland facing alarming increase in youth suicide

    Jump

  • I'm saddened to see that the statistics show a growing trend, but I'm curious why the amount of attempts have increased so much, yet the deaths did not increase proportionally to the attempts? I hope that the reason is because suicide attempts are being more talked about and focused on than before, rather than there being an actual increase in attempts. Though it's probably a bit of both?

    Edit:I can't seem to find any direct links in the article to the sources it talks about?

  • Considering how they completely messed up the launch of Payday 3, and then furthermore saying since (among other things) that they'd work on including an offline mode, only to decide after about 20 months that they're not gonna do it after all due to "it wasn't a feasible route for us" (Steam news) proves to me that they're only thinking about the money, not the player. And fortunately, as with most companies who focus purely on the money, they get dumped by the userbase for it, as evident in the other comment here.

  • A Soviet anti-war film sounds intriguing, especially considering the times. I'll definitely give that a watch. Grave of the Fireflies has been on my list for ages as a Studio Ghibli film, so I guess it's about time for that one too, thanks.

    When it comes to real footage, I've seen too much. It's what still sits with me, the gut-wrenching despair people are exposed to, and the lifelong nightmares in active development. There are videos I'd like for certain people to see, but I'm unsure whether it's a good idea or not to show them. NSFL content is something I generally don't share unless I'm completely confident it will have a constructive reception. Hence I ask for common media instead, that is thought provoking on a less risky level.
