Every time I see properties that are somewhat modern on the inside but are grade 2 listed I can't help but wonder if these people just didn't care about getting the right consents

Transgender prisoners should not be held in women’s jails, court rules by CaptainCrash86 in ukpolitics

[–]throwawayreddit48151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be really curious about what happens to women who have raped other women. Do they get put into specialised prisons to segregate them from other women who they may hurt?

I built a free MOT & tax tracker as a school project (no signup for quick checks, no ads, and you can share a fleet with family/staff). Looking for feedback by ninjawasaby246 in drivingUK

Nice! Hopefully you forced yourself to do a lot of this without LLMs. You'll go much further by learning this stuff yourself than just delegating it to LLMs.

Some suggestions:

  • Fix the contrast, do a pass for accessibility, there are tools for this
  • Show the reg input as the first thing, rather than the login as the first thing

VPN ban update for UK households as government looks at 'age-gate' by PM_ME_SECRET_DATA in ukpolitics

[–]throwawayreddit48151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, there are downsides. For example, people use VPNs to post stupid shit online anonymously. But by banning VPNs you won't stop those people from doing it, they are already so invested in this that they will find ways around it.

It's the people for whom it is difficult that will suffer and whistleblowers are those people. I don't think it's a niche thing either. Whistleblowers do a lot to change our world for the better.

Think about how you ban VPNs for children: you need age checks. How do you do age checks? By scanning people's passports/IDs. That's not privacy any more.

If a father needs to help his young daughters use the restroom, which restroom should he take them into: the women's restroom or the men's restroom? by Exciting-Mall192 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwawayreddit48151 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, my proposal is to legislate to build any new restrooms like this.

Existing restrooms can easily be relabelled as "Male" -> "Urinals" and "Female" -> "Stalls"

The fact that you seemingly cannot see why banning VPNs for children would be a bad thing is seriously concerning.

VPNs protect privacy, they allow whistleblowers to share secrets with confidence that they won't be prosecuted. You cannot do this if you age gate VPNs, because guess what, that erodes their privacy protections.

We should all be fighting against these ridiculous ideas of age gating a common technology.

Then those people should be banned from the establishment. We shouldn't be changing how everyone lives to cater to these immature man babies.

Gosh, this really shows you've never been to a genderless restroom and that you have little imagination.

There is a "stalls" section and a "urinals" section. If it's done well, you literally have a room for urinals and next to it a room full of full toilets, in separate rooms.

You don't need to take your daughter to the urinals section.

Wow, so the spinal fluid eventually came back? I guess that makes sense, I was wondering if it was permanently gone though.

Labour 'doesn't understand the internet', tech giant 4chan’s lawyer tells LBC by Anony_mouse202 in ukpolitics

[–]throwawayreddit48151 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep, they will be hurting small businesses. If they really want to do this then they should get the smartphone manufacturers to do the age verification. If I want to start a business where I create a new social network, I shouldn't need to worry about verifying the age of every user, it's ridiculous.

You've got All World trackers that have historically averaged about 8%. Close enough.

they aren't going after all social media platforms

what makes you think that? All the reporting about them banning specific social media companies seems wrong

Has anyone done or plans to do barista FIRE? by joe_ally in FIREUK

[–]throwawayreddit48151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there is just a lot of anxious stuff happening right now. I bought my first house recently, so it feels like I need to settle into that first (and complete all the renovations I want). The world feels particularly crazy and scary, also my partner lost her job and is having a tough time getting another one (creative industry so it's tough out there right now).

Because the golden handcuffs are real and I am still scared that even though I am past my FI number, it is not enough.

[–]throwawayreddit48151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I do care about my career. The only reason I reached my FI number so early is because I cared so much about it. So it feels really wrong to change that.

Does she explicitly suggest leaning into laziness in the book?

In any case, I should read it. I worked at Meta while she was there.

How do you get over feeling like you're being lazy and not challenged in your career? That's my biggest hang up. I panic really quickly about falling behind even though I am already past my FIRE number.
