Sounds like your paint company has misunderstood the law. Or sells porn on the side

Glad we agree that Pornhub should be age verified though. Because selling porn to kids is abhorrent

Moving forward companies that don’t sell porn can stop over reacting. As can you all

We are absolutely dating Europe again lol. China knows. America is a bit preoccupied.

Starmer is annoyingly good at the international stuff

this was my friend’s take. fuck the middle class.

I suspect that it’ll still fuck over the working class as the middle class just fire them / stop hiring and move down as their jobs are automated out. Having a job becomes the new middle class. Being unemployed is the working class norm.

always look on the bright side eh? that’s me /s

that’s okay I’ll chat with my MP about the OSA offline. I’ll thank them for voting for it.

shrug.

Commenting on porn is not an age related activity. Selling porn is shg

The number of people shilling for pornographers who prey on kids on this site smh

When I was 14 a shopkeeper sold us single cigs for 50p shg. If you want to break the law there’s a way and usually someone willing to make some money. Doesn’t make smoking at 14 right.

Happy to have the convo with my kids and for part of that to be “don’t break the law”. Also expect them to break the law. Happy for that to be part of learning what is healthy from unhealthy.

I think pornography should only be seen by adults

While I get that sentiment its becoming clear to me that the corps are increasingly supplying data and inferencing models to governments.

Moving forward the business model for data collection is less about advertising and more about social ‘guidance’. The extreme is Palantir supplying ICE with AI maps and they then knock on doors of immigrants.

But we can expect a lot more creative coercion moving forward. It will affect us all

I love this. €610 for the community developer edition though. And I don’t really have time for another project. Will make some folks very happy though

Does anybody know what models Lumo uses?

I’m not looking for an argument. I just looked at the one I own and the same one (large screen with pen) that Kobo makes. None of this is by force. I’m not here to promote Remarkable. Let’s kiss and move on x

I get all my stuff second hand anyway. But just checked and Kobo Elipsa 2E is £349 and Remarkable 2 is £389 so it’s not that different really. Not that I’m paying that amount for either.

I guess it all depends on what you get out of it though. I use my Remarkable every day so am seriously considering a second hand Paper Pro Move 2 when they come through into the market. Spend your money where you spend your time and all that

I use mine as a PDF reader and for note taking. I also bounce long form articles to read as it’s easier on the eyes and less distracting.

I’m not that fussed about ebooks as I’d rather just get the book. It works for me.

It isn’t open source though and the software is extremely limited. I think as a design choice. YMMV

To a large proportion of the country he is. Maybe with a Manc accent with makes him look slightly less professional.

I’m really sorry. The country as a whole does not vote decidedly left leaning people in.

The preference is Competent Centre Right > Competent Centre Left > Far Right > Far Left in that order.

Burnham vs Farage. Farage wins. Starmer vs Farage. Starmer wins. Pick your poison.

The real threat to Labour is the Conservative Party getting its shit together. And reputation washing Farage into a Competent Centre Right leader.

I always remember that when given a choice between Boris and Corbyn the country manifestly chose Boris.

Burnham can’t win in the UK. He just can’t. Sorry.

There’s enough difference between Starmer and Farage for me. If you want to pitch a different party to the public go do so. That’s what Farage has done to the conservatives so it can be done. Stop trying to take Labour down from within.

I know you’ll hate this. But I don’t get why you want to be part of a party if your aim is to take its leader down. And potentially take the party down at the next election. The first it’s won in decades

Just go join another party. Burnham isn’t going to win a general election. Leave Labour in the hands of those who can win elections so we don’t suffer endless Tory and Reform rule.

It is beyond ridiculous that house building in London. Fucking London. Isn’t profitable
