Yeah it's fucked so I've got a freezer full of food I need to either throw away or transfer to the fridge and eat pretty sharpish. Fuck's sake
@Rib now i'm looking at it i don't think it has one...
it sounded like the kind of noise that a failing computer fan would make & google suggested that weird freezer noises can be fan related but i don't actually see one anywhere
so i guess it might be the compressor that has failed? which would be game over i suppose
now it stopped and it sometimes makes clicking noises like it's trying to do something but failing
does that sound broken to anyone else because it sounds broken to me
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.
