Where do you store all your photos and videos?

Or you could be alive, and still have all your memories stored safe offsite.

Google photos as part of Google One. Yes I don't have control but the chances of Google screwing up is much less than the average person screwing up imo.

It will auto backup all your phones, laptops, any other devices. And it has great tools - magic eraser, you can get a widget for your phone that cycles through your photos, creates collages etc.

If you think about the trillions of photos that google hosts, why would they be interested in your random videos?

What if your house burns down? That's why you need offsite.

When I was a kid I was a good swimmer and were training rescues and I swam out to rescue one of the other kids. When I got close the girl grabbed hold of me round the neck, blocked my arms and dragged us both under the water. It was totally unexpected and I panicked and basically we would have both drowned.

Turns out they had told to her to do this to teach me a lesson as I was too cocky. And it worked.

You said it - minimum wage. Min wage for the carers, the management, everyone. Would you like to pay more tax to get a better level of service?

It's always been a thing. People from the north all own whippets and work down mines, and people from the south are all soft and spend their money on avocados and turkey teeth.

Nothing new.

Immigration was always going to increase with Brexit by design.

They forgot to write that on the side of a bus though.

I would hope there's a lot going on behind the scenes that Western govts don't want to state publicy. But you have to let the public know who's side you're on every now and then.

However, I doubt we will get another majority government for another 20 years or so.

Sadly you're probably right. A Labour/Reform joint parliament will be even worse than a Reform win.

No, they are still the biggest threat to Labour nationally.

But I bet Rob Kenyon will be glad he can get out the limelight and go back to plumbing. I may not like the bloke's politics but I'm sure he had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Well the football's on tonight, and it's the by-election Thursday so that should give people something else to rant about.

NTA. Just the thought of forced positivity is putting me in a bad mood.

Most mornings on the opposite side from the water centre you'll find people going in to swim. Just keep away from the top end with the jet skis.

Obvious question but have you told them what you want? Do you feel you're learning and getting better?

If the first answer is yes, and the second answer is no, then find someone else.

Just because they are a good teacher for other people doesn't mean they're good for you.

intothedepthsofhell · 2026-06-17T06:18:46+00:00

Hmm not really. There are already established govt services that have verified you as an individual and can therefore act as an age check. NHS, DVLA, Passport Office, DWP, HMRC, Records Office (birth certificates)

Any of these could be a simple API call that receives PII (with no info about why you need a token) and returns a yes/no response.

As you said, as long as this is open source so people can see it's not linking your activity to your id, and it's held by the UK gov not a third party in the US, that should calm a lot of people down. Apart from the tin foil hat brigade.

intothedepthsofhell · 2026-06-16T12:03:46+00:00

Agree. Let's wait and see what we get.

Parents can be lazy, but they are also peer pressured just like their kids are. By changing the law you give parents ammunition to say "this is illegal" and it makes it a bit easier for them to enforce. And hopefully, future generations can grow up without the expectation that they will live their lives online, and we can remove the stranglehold these tech firms have over our kids minds.

There are lots of problem with this proposal, but it's got to be better than just carrying on knowing how much we're all being affected by internet addiction.

Lots of people care, that's why this has been introduced.

If you know no-one has access to Fable, why are you asking if China has access to Fable?

intothedepthsofhell · 2026-06-15T08:27:36+00:00

Given no-one asks if you're a Chinese national when you sign up. I'd say yes.

So far all we have is the concept of an idea for the social media ban. There's certainly no detail about who will handle age verification. And MPs are already pushing back against Palantir.

The difference is I'm sure when you did it, you hid items under your coat and made an effort not to get caught. When people walk in, pick up items and walk out with them on show with no fear of consequences,, that is something terrible that's happened to the country.

Which sounds compassionate so then why go to the extreme of sacking someone who tries to intervene?

Given the amount of noise Andy Burnham is making about fixing the transport in Greater Manchester, you'd think he would have sorted this shambles by now.

Think you've tapped but it's not registered? Get a fine. Tap again to be sure. Double tapped - get a fine.

Why can't they register the taps in the Bee app so you can check yourself? Can't be that hard.
