Just use a card or cash, IMO having your phone be the only thing you pay with is a risk if it gets stolen.

Yeah Ik, its why I need to go and pay in the 5 of them I have lying around lol, the exchanges wont take them here. If nothing else I can probs sell them to collectors.

Really annoying when companies do that, unfortunately here they’re allowed to as legal tender is basically meaningless.

Also just reminded me I have a few 1000kr notes I really need to pay into a bank next time im over there.

God I love dankort, amazing system. Really wished more people in DK made use of it. Britain selling their own card system out to MasterCard was a actual crime against the population. Apparently cash usage in DK has crashed since I was last there 5 years ago though : (.

Real Chinese century hours.

Idk about Pokemon so I have no clue LMAO.

Meanwhile MATE chads just sitting in the attic listening to the chaos.

ffs, authoritarian overreaching technologically illiterate BS. This also won’t work if you’re determined, make sure you have a paid up VPS!

Mostly agree on the principle but I’ll admit I am so rabidly against this heap of a law I’ll support virtually any site or entity that goes against it. Mark my words this shite will be used to begin targeting sexual minorities given the UKs track record of being TERF island.

Same can be said for: reddit, facebook, xitter, myspace, tumblr etc etc etc.

Aye probs a DNS level block. Either way potato potatø the OSA is a disturbing authoritarian mess of a law, some absolute idiots in government are now advocating to begin gunning for VPNs as well : (.

In strict legal definitions that’s slightly different due to it handling defined personal data, how its processed and where its located rather than merely “Significant number of UK users accessing the site”. GDPR is also very well written and quite clear unlike the OSA which is vague, with a enforcer that’s already pretty infamous in the UK for being somewhat loopy in how they operate. Under US law and frankly international business law ofcom has pretty much zero mandate to demand what they are demanding of a entirely US domiciled company. Most matters of GDPR in regards to a foreign company will apply to companies with infra and a presence in the EU anyways.

What the UK says here pretty much doesn’t matter in any way shape or form, and if they’re going to ban it then ban it already rather than chasing around with fines and paperwork. I’d still rather this wasn’t happening as the OSA is a massive steaming turd of a law that’ll merely be used to suppress speech.

But yes technically if Hiroyuki Nishimura stepped foot in the UK he might wind up with some flak from it but beyond that this is just posturing.

I actually sometimes use 4chan, if that’s what you think it is then you’re frankly pretty deluded & again these laws are dangerous and will eventually be turned on something you support. You are falling hook line and sinker for ye olde “think of the kids” line that the political class roll out for authoritarian surveillance legislation.

Not under US law & I say this as a Brit, the UK is massively overstepping their authority at this point. If you’re going to ban it then ban it, imposing fines on very vague legislation is a load of BS.

Cheering on disturbing censorship legislation is pretty cringe, their lawyers are also correct the UK has zero legal standing to make these sorts of demands of companies with zero infra in their borders when.it comes to international & US law.

Xeon are just server SKUs, nothing wrong with them.

They really cant, they’re good for boilerplate but thats about it. Every example of a AI heavy code base I’ve seen has been poorly optimised security hole ridden garbage.

Based FOSS but id take the claims of coding ability with a entire salt mine, LLMs simply arent all that great in general at coding no matter what tech Bros try to tell you.

Since mondelez bought cadbury they have totally bloody ruined it, disgusting stuff these days.

Ty for the response. I do agree we will likely wind up with some sort of plastic eating organism at some point, problem is how many centuries will that take. Might be a opportunity to apply gene editing at some point in the medium term future.

Fair point on turps but turps and other compounds from wood dont tend to linger in the enviroment for as long as plastic does currently.

Unfortunately any solutions will be taken by porkies and as you say regulatory captured into making our lives more expensive rather than for the betterment of humanity, should be govt ran labs looking into this sort of stuff not corpos with dollar signs in their eyes. Having saidthat some early stage alternatives such as a seaweed based biodegradable plastic could help hugely in the single use plastic department.
