But overall, enforcement causes nearly half of users to stop searching for popular adult sites complying with laws and instead search for a noncompliant rival (48 percent) or virtual private network (VPN) services (34 percent), which are used to mask a location and circumvent age checks on preferred sites, the study found.

what a fucking surprise. now the teens only watch porn that is already skirting around laws just by virtue of existing. truly nobody could’ve ever imagined this would happen

jesus christ i’m so tired of stupid politicians

but then i’d need to swipe to flip the page on both of them, that’s like, effort

hey there’s also some of us who buy books we will definitely read eventually and they just keep stacking up, gotta put them somewhere

for the vibes of course, not everything has to be optimised for practicality

don’t bother, there’s browser addons that just make that screen disappear

all gamers’ nightmare

i honestly take that option for granted lol, it’s so weird when someone else’s computer bloops when a notification pops up. same with phones honestly, if i’m not expecting an important call it’s staying on silent

oh dang, just tried it out and it’s brilliant, thank you internet stranger!

new minecraft instance -> FOV 90

new browser -> remember open tabs when closing (and install adblock)

langauge -> English (i live in Poland so many devices come with polish as a default)

in games -> subtitles on

in tv shows -> subtitles off (unless the audio is poorly balanced with sfx)

i’ve also built muscle memory on my specific set up of Adobe apps, so if i were to use someone else’s photoshop i’d feel lost and confused

yeah i was referring more to the chemical reactions. the 2+2 example is not the best one but langauge itself is a great case study. once you get fluent enough at any langauge everything just flows, you have a thought and then you compose words to describe it, and the reverse is true, you hear something and your brain just understands. How do we do any of that? no idea

tbf, how do you know what to say and when? or what 2+2 is?

you learnt it? well so did AI

i’m not an AI nut or anything, but we can barely comprehend our own internal processes, it’d be concerning if a thing humanity created was better at it than us lol

it doesn’t actually click on stuff. it “clicks” so that the advertisers’ and your digital footprint’s statistics get messed up, but you never see the results of the clicking, nothing pops up, nothing gets downloaded

what a brave new world we live in
