I’m here because I can’t forgive reddit for what they did to Apollo. None of the communities I really want/need are actually even active on the fediverse but it’s just the best I can get without participating in the shit show that reddit has become.
I miss the reach that reddit had and I continue to hope the fediverse will get there but… after a few years I’m not as hopeful as I once was.
I didn’t do it for noise initially, but I’ve become quite dependent on the fan noise from my air purifier these days.
Kids can’t actually get access to the internet on their own. You have to purchase an internet connection of some sort via a provider and kids can’t do that. Public access, like libraries, would have to use ID/age verification in person, sure. But not the general internet. That responsibility falls to the parents of the children and you can create whatever punitive laws you want to punish and hold parents accountable for preventing their kids from accessing the internet.
It’s literally the same thing we do with prescription drugs and alcohol. Some people have to lock them up, but mostly those bottles are unlocked and accessible to kids all over the world and we expect the parents to do the gatekeeping and then punish/hold the parents accountable when they don’t.
The parents have the responsibility of enforcing it and that’s it, that’s enough.
If you want to add laws to say that parents that fail to keep their kids off the internet can lose their kids, fine idgaf. Create whatever you want to hold parents accountable but as parents, this is THEIR problem.
I’m sick of this. If it’s that big of a deal, we just need to ban kids from the internet. Full stop. No intermediary measure will be good enough.
yessss old butterfingers were the best
Voyager on mobile and I’ve been trying out the blorp frontend on Lemmy.
Which one is the Hilux? That’s definitely the one I want.
Their Stratocaster shape is public domain in the US. They won a court case in Germany for copyright of it and immediately went after any builder selling to Germany.
It was a total asshole scumbag move. No silver lining, just finance bros destroying a brand.
