100% agree, unfortunately that’s entirely what they do either directly or by supporting lobbying groups who pretend to be “thinking of the children”.

One state in the US but, fair enough. Though a lot of the wording for this seems account based, instead of an OS baked “kid mode”, which again just seems like a variation of parental control which already exists. The point is this problem already has a solution not being utilised by the majority of the world’s internet user base. This won’t fix parents just buying a device to palm off to their kids, because if setting up parental controls is beyond them, setting up an account for them properly likely will be too.

Honestly, I don't picture this happening. The main problem is parents parking their kids in front of screens or devices with internet access and then just bailing. Most devices have the means to do this and have so for a long time, it’s called “parental control”. It’s been a thing since the late 90s in my experience and probably earlier. The problem is it requires some time/effort to set up. I’m not advocating for the digital ID solution to this problem necessarily, just to be clear. However, even anti virus suites have this ability, routers have this ability, hell even browsers do if I recall but people and parents have been hands off about it.

Now they are complaining and expecting the entire internet to change or blaming online porn companies. The alternative is realising that letting kids have unfettered and unmonitored access to the internet, the place where you can easily view graphic footage of people dying, is actually a bad idea; bordering on neglect. Though this ignores places like Tik Tok, YouTube and a lot of social media marketing their platforms as “kid friendly” when they’re anything but, probably a different discussion however.

Unmarked bot poster?

Weird, I scrolled through but didn’t see any of the ✅emojis and assumed it was. Either way, my bad.

Personally, a user made summary or even just copy pasting some of the more compelling bullet points would be preferable to AI summary.

You know I had hoped my additional comment on your other thread might have instigated some introspection. Especially since my first one was overly bitchy. Only for it to be wordlessly downvoted and now I see you posting this. Mickey7 wanna explain the joke for us? Because frankly i agree with the other commenters assessment.

[–] CTDummy@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

To elaborate you post plenty of other amusing stuff that does perfectly fine, as evidenced by the votes. I don’t get why you instead focus on the lower tier stuff that gets deservedly downvoted and try spin it as “they’re all no lives, rages filled, etc”. I for one wouldn’t want you to stop posting, even if it comes with the gooner rubbish but the bitching in this thread is just mental gymnastics. You could just as easily cop the feedback and not post it as often if at all. You do you boo but ain’t no one buying this “people trying to impose their humour” nonsense.

That’s it mate. It’s all rage and virtue signaling. Very realistic and not at all a cope for people downvoting your galaxy brain “hahaha cum in vagina” jokes. Absolutely seething at this “mum this Mickey7 aged bloke you sent wants da sex”. Definitely not people over gooner brained, boomer humour, they’re trying to impose their humour on us bro!!

It’s gas, grass or ass isn’t it? Nevermind, I’m sure the perpetual horny poster has only ever gotten positive feedback from women referring to it as “gash”. Ignore the framing of this meme being super creepy bordering on pedo in nature.

I don’t know how much neurodivergence factors into it, though Im sure it does. Plenty of these sort of people think they only need to shower once every week or two because they don’t smell and usually insist they have “good hygiene” despite that. Some just straight up can’t be bothered. Both types tend to not have very many friends; who would ideally inform them that they stink.
