I’m actually a child online safety expert and was one of the pioneers in this space with Club Penguin and so I feel uniquely positioned to critique this.

The groomer problem is real but it’s also vastly overstated. The far larger issue we saw at Penguin was suicidality or reports of sexual abuse in the home.

There is no solution for lazy/bad parenting. You can implement all the ID laws you want but if parents are going to just hand kids their phones unlocked, those kids will have access to all the same things the parents have unfettered.

What I found is that these draconian safety laws actually make it harder to be an honest operator of kids apps because on one hand it’s so much legal risk and so much user friction that it simply becomes uninvestible as a business.

Parents will just lie to let their kids use the unfettered internet. For example, I have a friend who works in mobile gaming who has two kids, one above and one below the age limit but separated by just 2 yrs, and the two wanted to play and chat together on Roblox - which is reasonable. To do this, he just verified that his younger kid is old enough for the chat feature when he’s not.

This happens all the time and will happen with these laws to. How far do we want to go with this? Scan the face of the user in real-time to make sure it’s not a kid using the device? We could do that but it feels like a massive unwanted intrusion of privacy.

That’s how you know this law isn’t about kids. COPPA and GDPR-K and so forth already make it illegal to allow chat and other grooming vectors to kids.

What’s really being done here is trying to eliminate online anonymity. And this is a far bigger issue that goes to core speech rights because if you cannot criticize the govt anonymously and if wrong speech is a crime then it becomes easy to identify all the detractors of the govt in power, and ban, fine or jail them for speech crimes.

Starmer has already been doing this and he wants to do it at a much bigger scale. Starmer won’t even acknowledge the problem of actual grooming gangs in Britain’s neighborhoods but he’s worried about online grooming?

No he’s not, and this hypocrisy gives away the game. What he wants is to kill online anonymity so he can enforce censorship of his unpopular policies. No politician should have this power.

@crystallified What's the song you're listening to ?
It seems really nice for the background while I work

🚨 New EU Data Retention legislation expected June 2026 will require VPNs, messaging apps, and cloud services to log user metadata (when/where users connect, IP addresses). Part of ProtectEU strategy with roadmap for "lawful and effective access to data for law enforcement."

We must fully oppose this if we want some level of privacy.

Nuno Loureiro was assassinated yesterday

He was a professor + the director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center

> 47 years old
> Studied nuclear fusion (= energy source of the Sun + stars) for 10 years at MIT
> His award-winning work focused on creating a virtually limitless, clean energy source on Earth - one that doesn’t produce carbon or radioactive waste (usual biproduct of fission reactors)
> His research was essentially a threat to companies in the energy sector (fossil fuels, wind, solar, etc)
> Nuno was vital to the development of fusion nuclear power plants, without him the path ahead is less clear + his death will set back the entire field

Nuno is not the first MIT fusion scientist to be brutally murdered, in 2004 Eugene Mallove was also shot in his home

I hope this opens eyes – there is an agenda at play

@dpf11100 @BasedLEDA I think you can?
She's available to fight in the 1v1 mode if you do the ALLMIND playthrough, so I think you can play with her preset

[TLX542 @Loadedquestion1]

@DrDarqq @yaedotwav Dialyn will be basically useless in her team I think.

[TLX542 @Loadedquestion1]

@sunshiningcurse It's not confirmed but he talked about it

[TLX542 @Loadedquestion1]

@NimeniEPhrog You forgot about Walpurgis being every 2 months and each walp having story/event for it every 2nd walp

I played through KEEPER today from @doublefine - what an absolutely beautiful game.

It plays like a heartwarming interactive animated movie. Stunning art direction, such a unique premise, and lots of varied gameplay across the experience.

[Del @TheCartelDel]

DoubleFine (Psychonauts devs) launched, Keeper, their new title yesterday. I'm hearing it's a 5 star game. Unfortunately, Xbox has decided for some reason that they aren't going to promote it at all, so less than 200 people on steam are playing it. Most haven't even heard of it.

[TLX542 @Loadedquestion1]

@eventweapons @ZZZAnonymously She's getting a rerun next patch I think

[TLX542 @Loadedquestion1]

Can relate, I sent a dude my specs and he left me with 500mb of ram afterwards it was really annoying I had to download more

[stupid tech takes @stupidtechtakes]

rule 1 of cybersecurity: do NOT tell ANYONE how much ram you have
