So in theory today is the day when all the site have to try and get their UK users to verify their age. Which is mostly done by verifying their ID.
I expect the kids will have little trouble figuring out a way around this.
The boomers will have more trouble though. Expecting calls from my folks asking what's going on and if they really have to scan their face and indeed how to do that and probably giving up and just not using the thing.
I'll just be not using the things which demand it in general.
About the only upside in all this is it might get the boomers off of Facebook I guess.

"We live in a Fascist nation, what now?"- by Chris Armitage
This was shared by a friend on Facebook, and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s the kind of thing that the author clearly wants to be distributed as widely as possible, so I’m posting it all here and hope I’m not running afoul of anything. -— "I...

google glass and snapchat spectacles were both such wildly successful products, which we all trampled one another to get, of course facebook-wunderkind-who-isn't-really-a-wunderkind will succeed with possibly the most unappealing glasses ever made since someone ended up with auto glass in their eyes after flying through a windshield in a collision. It's a sure thing! /s

Mark Zuckerberg is making a major bet on the future. He’s about to share it
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a bold claim on the social media giant’s earnings call in July. Answering a question from an analyst, he said people without smart glasses may one day be at a “significant cognitive disadvantage” compared to those who do use the tech.

I go on Facebook
An Irishman in Ireland has posted a picture of his Irish flag flying outside his house (in response to some sports thing, apparently?)
The comments are exclusively full of Irish people spouting vitriol about the United States

The Anglosphere mind has been fully reverse-colonised by its biggest boi. They define themselves in opposition to it; without it, they would have no identity at all. Very sad state of affairs.

There's obviously something like a Rule 34-C: no matter what your fetish is, there's a crowdfunding for a device to help you enjoy it.

I have an admission to make.
I made a Facebook account. 😭😬
Before you draw and quarter me, please understand this is out of pure desperation/necessity. lol.
Our town only buys/sells things on Marketplace. I don’t want to keep bugging my spouse every time I need to sell something (which isn't very often thankfully) or want to look for some random used thing.
The final straw was having to sell our son's car now that he has moved away.
My punishment: even though I pinned a post on my FB profile saying I am only using it for Marketplace and won't be accepting any Friend requests and that everyone should definitely check out the Free and Open web at socialbc.ca… now I am getting friend requests and feel slightly guilty.
I don't want to confirm them, obviously, but also don't want to delete them because that seems rude.
God I hate how FB has monopolized this stuff!
On the bright side, someone is coming to buy the car today!
