  • You can say what you want about Katy Perry, but you’ve got to hand it to her that calling her cat Kitty Purry was a boss move

  • I’m not sure that what this article is claiming follows. Your device providing a token which confirms you’re an adult doesn’t imply that your real name will be provided to anybody, any more than, say, my banking app using my phone’s FaceID implies that that app has access to my biometric data

    To me, age verification on-device make the most sense precisely because it allows for it to be secure and maintaining of privacy

    The alternative is providing every site with your biometric data, photos of your documents like driving license, or both. Or that there’s some random third party which you give that data to and who then stores it on some server somewhere the security of which we can only guess at

    I know sind will be tempted to say that it shouldn’t be happening at all and that it’s not about protecting kids and so on. But no matter how much we say that it _ is_ happening. This is what the new reality will be. The only question is where you want the scan of your face to be stored. Personally, I’d rather it be encrypted on my device

  • Is It just be that loathes the word “autist”? Gives me real “Oriental” or “the blacks” vibes

  • Depressingly common. “Had sex with an underage woman”. So, raped a child

  • I think the term audiophile has changed in the last decade or two, because now i keep seeing being used to mean “someone who likes music more than the average person”. Before it was more “had an entire room dedicated to music listening and if you move their chair a millimetre they will literally murder you”

    That’s the kind of person who swears that can tell s huge difference based on cable (but, of course, never in a blind test).

    There are websites dedicated to selling them things they don’t need. A 1m audio cable can cost several tens of thousands of pounds/dollars. And they’ll buy them and swear that they make a significant difference to the timbre of the hi hats on track 3 of The Joshua Tree

    Think I’m exaggerating? Here’s a cable, for home use. 8ft. Yours for the low, low price of £98,770

    That’s not a pair, btw…

  • I think trust would be the big obstacle from the EU’s POV. No point allowing us back in if we’re just going to leave again when the next lot get in

    I think if anybody can take us back into the EU it’ll have to be the Tories. Or if the Tories really are dead, Reform

    Im not holding my breath

  • How much do we want to bet that the law wouldn’t apply if the shooter was black?

  • And, it seems, murderer

  • But does that alter his ability to do things at speed? If he does all the housework in s second, can he make it feel like a second, or does the fact that he has to pay attention to what he’s doing mean that subjectively it takes just as long as doing it at normal speed?

  • Just a reminder to all, it is explicitly against the court order to redact or otherwise not release anything except material which could identify victims. Redaction for purposes of reputation-saving or anything political are expressly forbidden

  • Oh surely not. It would literally be illegal to teach a name like that. I’m sure they wouldn’t…

  • I’ve seen political pundits saying how bad the feeling in the Labour Party is and how no prime minister has ever managed to survive anything even remotely similar

    But it hasn’t happened yet, Starmer has historically low polling numbers anyway, and i don’t think that many political wonks believed he would still be leader come the next election anyway

  • The Trust Thermocline

  • No, He was fired because he said that Pretti’s Second Amendment rights were invalid. MAGA can justify any amount of murder, but you start saying that people can’t carry guns and you’re going to lose support.

    They were losing the base, so they turn on him and Noem and then they can pretend that anything bad was down to those two and the base can go back to fully supporting the administration and ICE

  • Ever been in truly uncensored online spaces? I have. Know what you very very quickly get lots of? Nazis and child porn. This is not good

  • I haven’t read it, but I don’t find Hitchen’s argumentative style in other venues to be better than Dawkins’

  • I am as atheist as it’s possible to be. I’ve never been even slightly religious and there’s no part of me that even vaguely believes in anything religious, supernatural, or superstitious.

    I read The God Delusion and I found it extremely weak and unconvincing

  • I remember when s guy tried to sue a news outlet for using his picture without permission for an article about how hipsters all look the same…and then it turned out that it wasn’t a picture of him

  • No, but when the AI bubble bursts it will wipe out between roughly 40% and 60% of the value of the US’s stock market, depending on which estimate you go by. For comparison, the initial crash of 1929 saw the stock market losing around a third of its value.

    So either the government does bail them out, or it’ll be worse than that crash was.

    Neither option is good for the little people
