@progo I like the idea of making parents responsible for what their kids have access to, and forcing OS developers to help in that process. Seems like less effort for everyone!

Watch me solve online age verification without ID leaks:

- Device and local login granted to kid by parent
- Kid does NOT have full admin access locally
- Parent has full admin access locally
- Parent sets an OS setting: Can view adult content; can view teen content
- OS makes 'age' flag available to web pages and apps
- If kid DOES have admin access, that's an internal family issue; not the government's concern.
- PROBLEM SOLVED

But that's not the actual goal of the laws… is it?

If you can't appreciate the skill and talent involved in well-performed music in a genre you dislike, anything you have to say about music in genres you do like is meaningless.

I'm willing to bet that if we banned the use of leaf blowers for clearing snow, the ability to travel through urban environments without a car would not be worse than it currently is.

@Vo I think using one in the proper way, on a rink and such, while drunk should get someone punished by their employer but they're not on the road and thus not under the laws of the road.

If they're going down the highway, that's a different story.

The biggest flaw in our modern-day economy is that people are willing to agree to an unjust option because it's the only option instead of just dying and helping the system to correct itself

@jezza Ah yes, very nice

I'm at the point where I just want whatever is simplest and while I have the skills to build/design my own, I don't care enough aside from sharing my writing at this point

@jezza I store/compose the content itself in Obsidian (markdown) and use a plugin there to spit out html files. It's not perfect and I would like to figure out a better process to do the actual publishing stage but it's working well enough for now

The economics of unpayed internships/practicums is wild

@jezza Haha you're right, it really is all about the bottle (and uncorking it, I suppose)
