Kids growing up being able to see porn on demand is also a horrible idea. Arguably a more horrible idea.

The onus is on us to provide a solution to that if we want to remove ID checks from websites that serve adult material. Which currently is porn but could be easily expanded to social media.

I'd be happy to take the hit to get my wider family off of Facebook and X.

Although I feel this site has a more sensible algorithm that doesn't reward brigading. I think some tighter regulation is possible in the digital sphere

I wouldn't get too excited as there's 40 Reform councillors in Derbyshire:

The FT was warning that pensions would switch out of U.S when divestment occurred.

It's not an emotional FU to America or a Buy European statement from Sweden. It's that the American market is unpredictable and pensions are risk averse (customers tend to want stability rather than big returns). Be interesting to find out where the money went.

Im for it myself. Honestly wouldn’t mind a ban on algorithmic based news given the state that America is in.

I’m starting to see social media as smoking. It’s bad for you. Give up

Was chatting to councillor and house building isn’t profitable at the moment. Which is a bit daft in London.

We need council housing.

It worked just fine :-) shame the web installer isn’t working for FP6 yet. Bit did the command line okay.

I Read the anti brick instructions veeeery carefully.

Getting a FairPhone 6 today. Bit anxious about doing the e/os switch without bricking it (literally and figuratively)

If it made 30% profit it wouldn’t be a grassroots venue. It’d be a growing business.

The question should be what social need does it meet and how do we protect that.

Henry is the only hoover you ever need and it's British. If you go round the houses with other brands you'll end up buying a Henry :-) might as well get one now
