Heyβ¦ ummmβ¦ @ZackPolanski you guys are going to do something about this right? Cause I kinda wanted to visit the UK someday. Im not hiding nothing, but I have to have secure personal devices for my workβ¦ secure devices donβt do stuff like this behind my back.
this is absolutely insane
- the UK now proposes scanning of all PRIVATE content on user devices or *jail* (for the execs) of device companies
^ recall how the french already arrested pavel earlier this year
- this is on a *device level* -- meaning you can not even use the phone freely *unless you literally KYC* -- does not matter which apps you use
- on top of this, they will require *another* KYC submission on the app-level to access certain apps
so this would mandate both device-level and app-level surveillance
this is the most draconian shit I have seen in tech yet

If anyone is wondering why the LAPD budget includes so much legal expensesβ¦ itβs the cost of defending themselves and paying settlements for all the lawsuits they get due to pulling shit like this all the timeβ¦ they get sued a lot.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20 officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

Banning under-16s from YouTube mostly means banning them from logging in, which means YouTube will treat them less like kids and more like anonymous adults. Great job, UK.

1) Apple device face scans STAY ON DEVICE. These do not. I also refuse to use my own biometrics for my devices.
2) The backup method is government IDs. This will be necessary in many millions of instances bc facial age estimation is notoriously often wrong. In some cases it needs to figure out get years or days of life - an impossible task.
3) These systems have breached over and over again. And this creates thousands or millions of victims of identity theft. Au10tix, Tea App, Discord's vendor, and more recently one used for weed clubs in Spain
Playing this down as trivial is a wild take.

Youβre going to see a lot in your X timeline about how the social media ban is unworkable and illiberal - and it will be one the most obvious examples of how social media skews debate.
But it will be one of the most popular things the government is doing

Wowβ¦ the UK trying something even stupider than the Australian social media βbanβ. Itβs even stupider for them too since they are considering lowering the voting age to 16 creating a vast new population of completely unreachable voters (they wonβt read papers or watch TV)

Good for sports, bad for economy. Weβre kinda stuck at good at dirt digging, cause ball kicking and dirt shovelling seem like related skills.

You literally get bullied by all your teachers at school if you canβt kick a ball goodly

Need to see a supercut of people dancing to the stuff Mamdani has been announcing and the Knicks winningβ¦ set to the Smash Mouth version of βIβm a believerββ¦ NYC has been partying like the happy ending of a Dreamworks fairy tail since January.

Kinda funny that "certain" people were predicting Sharia Law & mass population exodus in NYC from the Mamdani era, and instead it's like the most joyous the city has ever been π

Tried out the UK governmentβs official new AI chatbot for jobseekers.
Its advice: work in the US.
Quick, which public service can we add AI to next

Elon Musk is set to become a trillionaire within the next few months and a Karl Marx quote comes to mind.
"One day there will be trillionaires, but you will still have nothing."
Amazing powers of prediction.

This looks like such slopβ¦ the greenhouse size to house sizeβ¦ proportions look all offβ¦ and itβs also a shitty deathtrap of a fortification designβ¦ bullets would rip through it, no escape routes, I could keep going but itβs so damn stupid.
