Generally Spotify but I’m looking to ditch it for another similar services bc I can’t take their crap anymore (fucking YouTube kid like feature I cannot block, audiobooks…). I insist on paying so that eventually, even if only a portion of, I pay artists. Also I have yet to find alternatives for finding new / matching songs.

On the side I recently acquired a record player. I like to have a physical media. Makes music more tangible for the kids as well. Make us listen to whole albums as well so it’s a different take than what Spotify offers.

How suspect that our prime minister was so adamant to prevent usage of russian assets. And how sus is it that he’s so tied to the port where all those gas terminals are located.

Fuck so I definitely need to replace the broken graphic card :-/

That parenthetical does a lot of lifting in there…

Based on the picture it might be so that they can more efficiently ship them to the organ harvesting centre for processing ?

I’ll also add that, contrary to shop surveillance, parents have physical control of their kids devices to a large extent. And most OSes comes with features allowing parental controls. So yeah we have the tools for enforcing our accountability as parent on the internet.

I trust that parents are the first line of defence for those as well. Then education. Then store controls indeed but it doesn’t involve the mass surveillance implementation required for the web. And the risks are also absolutely not the same; physical check are not leading to increased risks of leakage. Or reuse for not necessarily compatible purposes. It’s also not systematic ; as soon as you vaguely looks out of your teens you’re never asked ID anymore for either…

Yeah and when your government is experiencing some troubles themselves the whole shit comes down. We’ve experienced a little downtime here for regional government and it lasted quite a while. Centralisation introduces its own weaknesses. Additionally, at some point, we could address this by just having parents accountable in this specific use case. Wtf do we need a technological solution to address parenting? This small subset thereof.

Damn that was a rough one

I would not be eating something with a radioactive-based diet in space… that’s like 2 steps away from opening the gates of hell of something like that xD

It eats the radiation, not its source though. The emitter would have to be removed. Maybe it could be used in shielding ? Like in space where background radiation seems to be a problem.

Content has been deleted. I’d be interested in to review the materials if someone has a local copy as it’s for once both my country and area of expertise…

Yeah sure but then it’s not so much about « getting a proper education » anymore. Or the education system is failing us which is even worse because then what’s the way out? How can I / we steer this situation so that people suck less? Man I’m terrified my kids will end up like that.

Belgium here but I guess it’s fair enough.

I’m curious what would be the bar for proper education. Yesterday I was lectured by my fucking dentist (8years of college) on how poor people are all abusing the system and should lose all social protections. And he’s absolutely not an isolated case. Most of the engineers I manage are exhibiting similar thoughts about the jobless or immigrants. Again, at least 5 years of college. This shit is a poison. This is being relayed more and more by persons from 26 to 40 and I guess above all around. It feels like a national sport ; always shit on the one perceived below.

How nice to ask kids who cannot consent to share pictures with that company…

They don’t have the capability to deploy ISP-wide blocking in UK? Why is the charge of compliance put on some foreign company ?

where the fuck do you source your porn from so that choking is so prevalent ?! When looking for this sort of content it’s super hard to find some…

And what I shared was based on my personal involvement on the topic. As I said somewhere in the thread my expertise is limited to one country in Europe so the legal framework is vastly different but the more human and technological considerations are likely very transferable. And indeed there are criteria for warrants but that would be subject to interpretation at all steps plus not everything goes via warrants. Judge being lenient isn’t also accounting for their own metrics and perspectives. And additionally a whole lot of my personal issues would be related to how data, even when acquired both legitimately and with some regard for ethics, is handled. And that needs to be addressed by police forces and their providers.

But then you need to trust another party which is just moving the problem along…
