@SW_Help Apologies for the late reply - it was the 5:39pm train from Waterloo to Guildford via Epsom. I was in carriage 6.

@SW_Help why does the aircon not work in so many of the new Arterio trains? Today isn’t even that hot but the train is so stuffy

@ElonBachman Saw stats a while back that said the jump from once to twice a week is huge - greater than double. Two to three is large but less than the 50% jump in time spent. 3 to 4 was quite small, but there was a difference.

@rorysutherland Do phones even go below 50%?

The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this.

What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.

@ImLunaHey @hardtruth02 @bigcee75 @realBenBloch You don’t really want to use free VPNs.

@Macho_Grande1 Why let them on social media in the first place. You don’t need controls and fancy apps if they aren’t on it.

@Macho_Grande1 I police it for them - no help from the government required.

Do I think YouTube could handle it's responsibility to kids better? Of course. Do I think they could create their product more for family utility and less for holding attention. Absolutely! Does this help with any of that? No, it does the opposite.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

Banning under-16s from YouTube mostly means banning them from logging in, which means YouTube will treat them less like kids and more like anonymous adults. Great job, UK.

@BenHCope There is no way the UK speed is as fast as that.

@rorysutherland I suspect even if they wanted to the NIMBY’s would block it.

Start hosting your own stuff. Rely less on the cloud across everything. This isn’t about having something to hide, it’s about basic rights to privacy.

It’s very easy to run a small home lab type setup with some basic services.

Protectli VP4670 + Proxmox hypervisor lets you run containers and VMs.

Then back up your data to multiple locations using restic. Offsite could be a parent’s house or a friend’s place.

The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech.

Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away.

This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance.

And they can do so in secret.

The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

@SW_Help the sitcom on the 17:09 train from Wimbledon to Guildford isn’t working. Not a great look for a new train in a heat wave. Please sort it or pull the train until fixed.
