Also it’s much easier to triple a small number than a big one.

Someone who was 15 in 1985 would be in their mid 50s now, not 40s. Sorry.

It was more the daemon crashing or my router randomly deciding to block the traffic then getting moaned at because ‘that bloody music thing’ wasn’t working again.

Oh god. I don’t want to go back to having to have a raspberry pi with an external drive running subsonic and hoping it stays stable enough for my wife to blast musicals on her drive to work.

Ah ok. That makes sense where it came from then.

I think there was a lot of speculation and jokes about that’s what would happen next from people on here and other places.

They’ve said nothing of the sort.

With regards to this most people are just ignoring the law. VPN use has gone through the roof.

The wording on ofcom is “should not” not" must not". It’s not illegal, they just don’t want people to do it and want people to think that it is illegal.

Thanks. Outside of the top line maniacs I’m not really aware of any of the other names in the American government.

Who?

Won’t it? I remember touching the contacts on a 9v to my train track braces when I was a teenager Fucking felt that.

how much effort they put on showing the world the consequences of extremely stupid acts so the rest don’t have to do it.

Kinda sucks to be the world’s policy alpha tester though.

You think given how well thought through this online safety act has been that they’ll understand that would be an issue and legislate accordingly?

How many small businesses can afford such permit? Hell, I’d argue that even bigger companies will have a problem paying for that.

Feature, not a bug.

They want people back in offices to help landlords and property prices. This way they can say that remote work is not banned and it’s just companies choosing not to buy a permit and offer it.

Oh that makes it easier for the government.

Maybe that the end goal, force people back into the office by banning vpn

Ban remote working, vpn now only allowed from business addresses as registered with companies house.

Next step: ban on remote work.

What I don’t get is why it’s ok to view that at 18 but not at 17 years and 364 days. Surely just ban the site for everyone.

For example, the Government is very concerned about small platforms that host harmful content, such as forums dedicated to encouraging suicide or self-harm.

So they’ve identified a problem with this type of content, and the answer is to put it behind an age wall. So is it a-ok for anyone over 18 to be encouraged to self harm or commit suicide according to the government?
