    So how long until celluar providers also say you have to have a trusted device to activate your SIM? Apple, Google, Samsung, automotive and Windows would be fine and they’d probably allow their branded or limited hotspots.

    This would basically eliminate any Linux option (pc or phone), and DIY devices. I could see other OOB vendors getting on board to be certified to have a certificate issued to them.

    What? I’m curious to hear why. Gaming has shown to increase hand eye coordination, better thinking and logical skills, and if you go for non-electronic gaming it can help a person develop social skills by interacting with others.

    A blanket ban on gaming just seems short sighted, rather than teaching them rights and wrongs around playing and overplay








  • Every time this pops up I have the same thing to say… there is nothing that is stopping them from setting up their own federated instance and via the ActivityPub protocol have everything delivered to them in a neatly formatted package ready to ingest, no scraping needed and nothing we could do except try to defederate with them, but we’d have to know which servers are theirs.
