Bluesky's implementation of age-based content restrictions is entirely client-side, this is an intentional design decision.

This simply isn't true. It doesn't go through Bluesky in any way, but you do connect to a 3rd party service. Thus it is not "entirely client-side".

You have someone complaining about what people selling AI say it can do, when it can't do that. You see people complaining that AI can't do things, when it can do other things.

You need to try and digest what people are saying better rather than just being contrarian.

Isn't she the one who held up a sign saying something like "Protect Palestine. Action is needed now."? It's a bit convoluted to say that was support for the group Palestine Action, and that arrest, search, and home curfew for several months is an appropriate response.

I can't wait until we have our 3rd dumb fuck vote, after Brexit and Boris, and vote in Nigel Farage. Then the US will go "Hold my beer" and go for Trump for a 3rd time.

The one connecting factor in all this is the Cambridge Analytica style of influencing and stealing elections.

She was arrested at the scene. She was then held for 27 hours, and during that time police searched her home.

I think she was the one holding a sign that read something like "Protect Palestine. Action is needed now" Palestine and Action were on separate lines, and she argued with police that there was a full stop between the words.

I'm sure they're getting right on that with their (checks notes) plans to ban encryption.

"Paid time off work" =/= time off work at your normal pay. There is a very significant drop in income for most people, down to £70 per day, which is £10 an hour if you work 9-5 with a 1 hour lunch or £7 an hour if you normally work 10 hour days. That last one is less than the under 18 minimum wage.

so the Unions are using that to force the government’s hand. Give us what we want or the city suffers.

This is disengenuous when the other side of the argument is "we dictate the terms of your work". Working isn't slavery, it's voluntary, and has to be agreed by both parties. It isn't "give us what we want or the city suffers", it's "give us a fair deal or we stop working".

I don’t think either approach is working, do you?

In this kind of negotiation nothing "works" until the negotiations are concluded.

Sounds like the Alcoholic's Anonymous loophole will work, you just need to decide your higher power is a doorknob or whatever.

Lmao at David Campbell, City of Bradford MDC Biodiversity Officer's comment, stealing her thunder right at the top:

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill very much sits in the space Attenborough was aiming at when he said "We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist."

The reason Attenborough et al are screening it for these politicians is because they're doing things wrong.

They are, in fact, biscuits. They are cooked twice, baked then dried.

But they're also cakes. It's like a dried cake. Biscuit cake.

 
 

Sadiq Khan wants Londoners to step in and say 'maaate' to pals when they are sexist to women

21 July 2023, 09:33 | Updated: 21 July 2023, 09:41 Sadiq Khan was joined by Romesh Ranganathan to launch the campaign

By Will Taylor

Sadiq Khan has launched a new campaign telling men and boys to say the word "maaate" to each other when their friends are sexist and misogynistic.

The mayor of London wants them to step in when they see pals use language or behave in a way with women and girls that "crosses the line".

His office specifically spelt the word "maaate" in material promoting the initiative which is backed by comedian Romesh Ranganathan.

Mr Khan said: "'Maaate' is a simple and effective intervention that can help stop problematic language and behaviour in its tracks.

"Last year I urged men and boys to challenge sexist behaviour and misogynistic attitudes with my award-winning 'Have A Word' campaign. Now, we're giving them the word to say.

"It is only by ensuring that women and girls are both protected and respected that we can continue to build a better, safer London for everyone."

Ranganathan said: "I'm backing this campaign because we can no longer allow sexism and misogyny to be dismissed as 'banter.'

"By asking men and boys to say 'maaate' to a mate we can be better friends to each other and better allies to women and girls.

"As men, we have a responsibility to work together to stop sexist and misogynistic behaviour. Whether it’s in the classroom, the boardroom or onstage, everyone deserves to be treated with respect."

The decision to use "maaate" came after Mr Khan teamed up with what was described as "world-leading behavioural scientists".

Research shows two in three men want to intervene when they hear misogynistic language being used but don't know what to say, the mayor's office explained.

One in four male Londoners aged between 19 and 34 said they regretted not calling out a friend or relative over misogyny.

Shaming friends was deemed to be a worse way of dealing with it than challenging the behaviour respectfully.

Previously, Mr Khan called on men to "have a word" with themselves and friends to tackle violence against women.
