  • UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones

    Jump

  • They should make it a law to require adequate parental controls to exist on a phone in a way that parents can use them, then teach the parents how to use them. If your kid goes and starts viewing porn then it’s your own fault.

  • McGuffin

    Jump

  • We didn’t like it. I feel like they nailed the tone and completely had the right idea but it just wasn’t funny enough and good jokes were few and far between compared to the originals where they were coming thick and fast. Every funny joke was in the trailer.

  • "One false move and you are dead"

    Jump

  • I don’t think this is victim blaming, it’s just teaching kids to be safe. If a kid steps into a road and gets hit by a car it doesn’t matter whose fault it is, the kid ain’t coming back to life.

  • Travel Influencer Caught Using AI to Make It Seem Like Minorities Are Terrorizing London

    Jump

  • I lived in London for about 8 years. I remember a taxi driver who was an immigrant telling me he’d lived all over the world including New York, Russia, etc, and he said London was the most multi-cultural place he’d ever lived. There were sort of even amounts of all different types of people and they all just got along in this big melting pot. I found people to be a lot more racist in the middle class cities full of “nice” white people (though I don’t think racism is that common in the UK). Most of my friends in London loved all the multi-culturism.

  • I love Wikipedia

  • RIP Encarta.

  • How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number

    Jump

  • 18 or 20.

  • Is it Possible that a Typical Quantity of Sneezes is Inherited/Genetic?

    Jump

  • People who have sun sneezes tend to sneeze a bunch of times at once. Sun sneezes are genetic.

  • It's classic attention-seeking behavior.

    Jump

  • I have sun sneezes and for some reason people who have that also sneeze multiple times. I haven’t sneezed just once for about 20 years.

  • Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough

    Jump

  • Apps were still kinda new at the time and social media was shit hot. iPhones were still premium products and most people didn’t have one.

    I think a lot of people don’t realise that when the iPhone first came out it didn’t have apps. They eventually released an upgrade so that you could pin webpages to the homepage. I remember Apple arguing that web stuff was so good now you didn’t need apps.

    From what I recall around that time the Kin never really generated that much interest. It wasn’t being aimed as a product to replace the iPhone and was targeted at the kind of people who nowadays would sit on their phone and scroll TikTok. There was a lot of change in those days; social media was still pretty new, useful internet in your phone was pretty new (it’d been around for years but it wasn’t so expensive to this point nobody had used it, iPhone made constant internet connections a thing) touch screens were still new and sexy, and more I forget about. The idea that your phone was this little mobile computer that you carried around wasn’t really there yet and they were still mostly for communicating.

  • What little things do you do each day that are your small ways of sticking it to the man?

    Jump

  • Reject cookies.

  • What christmas tradition do you uphold?

    Jump

  • I always get my kid a gift my wife will hate. She’s still genuinely annoyed about the fart gun I got last year.

    That and getting drunk.

  • Zero Trust Architecture

    Jump

  • My sister-in-law let her 10 year old daughter play it with zero supervision. When we found out we told her she should be watching what her daughter’s doing so she went in to check and found the kid talking to some grown man from Azerbaijan.

    What themes are you using?

  • Considering all stuff you can (privacy, free account slot), which one is better: MEGA, SeaFile, or another service?

    Jump

  • Are you just looking for file backup? I haven’t used it but most people just seem to be switching to NextCloud.

  • We've lost the spirit of it...

    Jump

  • It’s just a waste of time now, I don’t even bother. Nothing big good gets a serious discount, it’s just crap I didn’t want in the first place that gets out on sale. Just before Christmas Day is the best time to get a deal, that’s the only time of year shops are really trying to get rid of stuff they’ve bought too much of.

    How do you decide what to buy online without being basically scammed?

    Jump

  • I sort the reviews by recent on the assumption that when these companies pay for fake reviews they sort of come all at once and the recent reviews will be humans who’re actually reviewing it since then.

  • From bans to ‘chat control’: Europe’s uneasy quest to regulate childhood online

    Jump

  • All the tools already exist. They just need to make it so easy to use them the parents don’t have an excuse not to. My sister-in-law thinks all this online age verification stuff is a good idea then let’s her kids use a grown up YouTube account because she can’t be bothered arguing with them. My kid can’t even use her junior one unless I put the PIN code in for her (which I never do).

  • How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house?

    Jump

  • Like everyone else has said, put some cameras out to confirm it’s a human (it’s probably not). If it is a human you may recognise them, and if it’s a cat or something there’s probably some kind of deterrent you can buy.

    Bear in mind local laws. Where I live you filming people on the public street is a grey area legally, using a hidden camera to do it would probably be considered illegal. Not saying don’t do it, just don’t try and submit it to the police. If it’s a person tell the police you saw them doing it from the window or whatever.

  • Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games"

    Jump

  • I think this is pretty normal as you grow up. You get kind of bored of playing games that use the same gameplay mechanisms and you just look for a change. Even if the mechanisms in these indie games aren’t as good, just being different makes the game more interesting.

    Nowadays I’d much rather play a short indie games that a big budget game.

  • Thread on /r/TheoryOfReddit saying that Reddit is dead. People are looking for alternatives, Lemmy is mentioned a few times

    Jump

  • It’s complaining about bots on Reddit. I honestly don’t think Lemmy would stand a chance if bots decided to come here instead.
