@RanTeeThree @Apple Yeah, cool, so any newly discovered vulnerabilities (that have been patched in recent updates) are wide open on your phone.

10/10, dumb as shit.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@alleria_eh Christ - one minute it's "kids are glued to screens, they need to get out of the house", the next it's "don't let your kids out, you never know what they're up to".

The internet, where no matter, someone's pissed off.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@NeilGarratt Yeah, Youtube is the only bit I don't understand.
Obviously there's a lot of crap on there, and I've certainly banned certain channels in my house (using the parental controls), but this is much more "baby with the bathwater" than others.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@Jake_FutTrading The line has been cast, let's see how many bites he gets.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@GGFantastic_1 @ragabonz But what if it actually was just about the kids? What if you could actually take anything at face value and not assume some sort of malevolent intent? What then?

I mean, we want to protect kids, right? I'm open to hearing your ideas on how to do that?

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@JellyPickleJ @TheBeanEyesOpen @GarryCheeseman According to every technology expert on twitter.

According to actual technology experts, this is just fearmongering bollocks.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@TheBeanEyesOpen @gubbastronaut Please do, giving the internet to idiots was the worst thing us nerds ever did. It was a wonderful place before all the normies got involved.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@TheBeanEyesOpen The only bit that's probably in any way based in reality is that kids are figuring out ways around it, I don't doubt that for a second.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@TheBeanEyesOpen Engagement-bait twaddle.

It applies to under-16s, it doesn't "get switched off" at a particular time, and no-one is talking about digital ID except for the usual suspects on social media.

Kids are better off not being exposed to this mind-rotting claptrap.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@fifa_romania Yeah, we've all been saving up for that 2k evo and are about to fall into the trap of opening casino packs instead.

Well played EA, you did us again...

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@BarelyTrying92 @NotTheirScript Once you realise pretty much everything on social media is a desperate attempt at engagement it all makes a lot more sense.

I do hope the meagre rewards are worth the indignity.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@FIFA22_INFO I’d be over the moon with the cosmetic from 3x3.

Currently at 3 wins from 10 matches. It’s diabolically sweaty.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@dailydirtnap Americans really struggling at the moment to understand that people can like things that they don't.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@NepentheZ Just holding everything for GotG at this point.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@dokuftbl_ @villamh81 @Jake_FutTrading Thanks for that pal, I had realised, but thanks for pointing it out, I feel much better now.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

I continue to be gobsmacked at the levels of tech-illiteracy I see online.

Like, nobody understands anything, and I'm just that John Travolta in Pulp Fiction meme 24/7.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@ghost_wales It's under 16s.

You might want to delete this.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@dokuftbl_ @villamh81 @Jake_FutTrading I did the same. Very different results.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@Jake_FutTrading I mean. It’s a pretty aggressive pendulum-swing. There’s a bit of a gap between “good” and “win 5 in a row 3 times out of 14”.

Card’s not even that good.

[BigRedGreybeard @BigRedGreybeard]

@Adamyrc0 @JayDarkmoore Yeah, they probably have videos of you doing that too.
