A problem with tech regulation by moral panic is that it tends to lead towards contradictory regulation with massive unintended consequences. Nowhere is this as evident as with the current generation of laws intended to βprotect kidsβ.
In the US itβs state laws forcing websites to collect your government ID to restrict access to to people under 21. In Europe, itβs banning encryption to prevent people sharing CSAM. In both cases, these have real anti-democratic impacts.

big thanks to all concerned for wasting my time & bullshitting me that it was still going to come until 10pm tonight
finally got the notification that they had a nonspecific problem delivering it and will try again tomorrow. i'd left delivery instructions that work for 99% of other drivers and no attempt was made to contact me or anything like that. so i have updated the delivery instructions to be even more detailed. shrug emoji
hi please hire me to make you pixels i'm broke and unemployed and i need the money https://maple.pet/commissons #mutualaid #commissons #pixelart #art #mastoart thanks for having boosted this post already i know you won't have failed me π
literally the same thing has happened again today. i just rolled the dice and had a shower anyway
btw what eventually happened the last time was, at some point later in the evening they phoned me and said they couldn't find my flat and i came out and met them on the side road. so i'm guessing they have some system where if they have trouble finding an address they press the "fuck this one off until later" button and come back to it after they've finished all the easy ones

@thememesniper oh these low end ones don't even run android, probably not enough RAM
they have some custom OS with preloaded emulators and that's that
