Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?

I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I’ve just never had a service go “we can’t show you content. No, don’t tell us your age, we’ll work it out from the data we’ve collected from you”.

That’s a whole new one for me, I must admit.

This comment is pure poetry. I actually want to have it on my wall, with a beautiful frame.

Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.

I think IRC wins by being around the longest, but also being dead simple to set up and use.

I tried using Matrix and it just honestly frazzled my head a little. I know it’s just a few extra steps to get registered, but it honestly feels like a few extra bits of friction to what amounts to trying to join a big social circle.

I left during the Reddit API nonsense, I wasn’t even aware Reddit was banning people.

I guess I had to stay longer for all that, which I refused to do.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Do you prefer a big house or a small house?

Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

Do I:

• Run a few commands to disable one app and keep my phone intact

OR

• Install a whole new OS to avoid one dumb AI app, and the OS only works with Pixel phones (which isn’t even my phone as I actively avoid touching anything Google in the first place)…

A tricky decision, indeed.
