@SurtseyAna @ZombieTron Children can circumvent ID verification too. Maybe the tech companies should work on refining their free parental control tools, to make them more difficult to bypass by the average teenager, and easier to set up and manage by the parents.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@ZombieTron It's time parents take responsibility for their children, and not offload this to government and big tech, and stick the rest of society with the bill. There are already free parental control tools that are easy to use.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

@gator_gum The problem isn't age limits, but age verification by presenting digital ID to access basic online services. It's like going to the grocery store to buy toothpaste and confirming your age just in case you might buy a beer. Also the data theft risk is real, unlike in shops.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@sdcinvancouver @yegor Also, if parents can set up this ID verification BS, then they are also capable of using free child protection tools on their smart devices.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@sdcinvancouver @yegor Maybe instead of blanket ID verification to use the internet, there should be a parenting license, where parents are educated on the basics of parenting before being allowed to have children. Unfortunately any pair of dumbasses can procreate.

@silkiecarlo Damn Silkie, don't give these creeps any more ideas.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@FuriousIcon9 @dexthefunny The bible says there is no sorrow in heaven. But sure, there are thousands of denominations, people make up all kind of interpretations to avoid the horrible truth of a plain reading of scripture.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@FuriousIcon9 @dexthefunny Hypothetically you would not feel sorrow while all your non-believing friends and family suffer eternally in hell, even those of the wrong Christian denomination.

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.

A man in the audience had just been released from prison after 8 years.
His crime? Donating money to a resistance movement.
This is what's at stake when we give up our privacy rights without a fight.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@dexthefunny There is no free speech in heaven, bud. One infraction will get you sent straight to hell. That said, it seems that there wouldn't be free will either, everyone is just a Jesusbot.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix I like the implications of the standard model to be honest. The idea that there is a definitive end to existence is more comforting than an eternal cyclical universe.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix I am not a scientist so I can't meaningfully comment on that. But I asked Gemini and it seems to agree with me that scientists no longer think the big bang was certainly the absolute beginning of spacetime. It is still unclear.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix Science is not like your religion, it evolves as we increase our understanding. Currently most scientists seem to think that the big bang says nothing about the absolute beginning of time.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix Sure, some god may have created the universe. I am not an atheist, I'm agnostic. But we don't have any verifiable evidence for the existence of god. We do have evidence for the existence of the universe.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix You assume the universe was created, and hasn't always existed. So it's not supernatural, just beyond our current understanding.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix I don't think we know for sure how the universe works. But considering energy cannot be created or destroyed, and everything is cyclical, it's in the realm of possibilities that some thus far unknown mechanisms could cause a big crunch.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix From what I understand based on current evidence and instruments we can only conclude that a big bang happened roughly 13.8 billion years ago. That however doesn't mean there wasn't something before it. Unlike religion, science evolves as we increase our understanding.

[Meme Philosopher 🥀💀 @memephilos]

@DerekR82244 @AtheistPhoenix Most scientists no longer believe the big bang was the absolute beginning of time. It may be that the universe is eternal and cyclical, consisting of repeating big bangs and big crunches. Considering everything else is cyclical and repeating patterns, this makes sense to me.
