"As with so many attempts to age-verify porn, the practical implementation of the law turns out to be a horrible mess."

Me for @sextechguide

A reminder that the deadline for illegal content risk assessments under the UK's #OnlineSafetyAct is 16 March, so just a couple of weeks away.

Ofcom has some tools, and I've been documenting what I can at onlinesafetyact.co.uk/, including some template/sample assessments, in the hope that they are helpful. All licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Question: is geoblocking the UK an acceptable alternative?

Ofcom: we want UK citizens to enjoy access to a wide range of online services. We do not want people to block the UK market. If a service feels that the best way to comply is to geoblock the UK, that is sufficient to meet the regulations.

#OnlineSafetyAct

the future of the internet in the UK... geoblocks inbound.

as of this Sunday, I will no longer run web communities, a few of the sites will have new owners who are willing to engage and try to navigate the risks, but most will just shut down, some have moved to other platforms like Discord.

considering moving away from gmail for my email & i was thinking about using my 12bit club domain; i don't want to self host though. just want a service i can use a custom domain with. anyone have any recommendations? i was looking at proton but it's only supported on their paid plan & that seems kinda expensive for an email address i would only use for "taizou stuff" which i don't use email THAT much for yknow

Fun fact! There are many people out there who can help you with coding, many are physically disabled and have no other way of making rent and putting food on the table, and they actually know what they're writing, rather than hallucinating something that sounds right

You should play Phantasy Star.

I'm in the process of playing PS1 in the form of a quality-of-life improvement ROM hack and am having a (mostly) enjoyable time! The JRPG battles are pretty simple, the story is interesting, and the music is pretty good!

I'm looking forward to trying Phantasy Star 2 through 4!!
