It's American clean power in the same way it's "clean coal"?

It was internet filtering software parents would install on home computers.
I'm thinking about the idea both from a technical point of view (how would kids bypass it?) and also in terms of how reviews would be carried out. I suppose it could be like private building certification?

So this is a restriction on the browser on (all) the devices the child has access to that means it blocks sites that are not "approved"? Then someone issues approvals to sites that are somehow deemed safe for kids? Sounds like what net nanny used to do with an allowlist, but a bit more distributed?

It's called a dumb phone isn't it? Depends what restrictions you think should be built in.
Or maybe there could be one parental controls system instead of one for Apple, one for Android, one for windows, Nintendo and then a whole bunch of random web platform specific ones.

Oh, I wouldn't say the experiences are the same, only that some of differences are narrowed. But the point for me was more that the relative costs have shifted a lot, so even if you prefer the cinema experience you have to want it more to justify it.

That's just driven home to me how cheap large TVs have gotten. It's only a handful of family visits to the cinema to add up to a huge screen. Streaming services have gotten more expensive, but it's still only one visit to the cinema for a months subscription.

If I can post but not DM I'm fine with not being verified.

I think I'll forego the features rather than verify, thanx.

Or all those over 16 that have to verify that is the case....

I'm not sure. They weren't bothered when Windsor left the nationals and ran independent, but they were bothered when he backed a Labor minority government. Also didn't feel betrayed enough by Barnaby being a Kiwi or not revealing his changed family circumstances before an election to vote him out

Ok, sure. That would also be effective on access via tor. My original point was only that tor isn't likely to be more effective than a VPN.

Just going by the OP "But the government has told tech companies they need to thwart these efforts." My interpretation of that is that while it's not legislated, they are asking for it in some capacity.

I'm sure IP lookup databases flag known tor exit nodes in the same way they flag VPNs. If they block VPNs, they can block tor.

Lol, we will just redefine ads as "product and service recommendation" features. Then we can redefine dark as light, and don't need to change the light bulb.

Given the fires on the central coast, I have broadened my idea of what might be a hazard zone. Is there somewhere to move everybody?

Yes exactly. Either tell us when you have low volumes so we might have an option to do something about it, or make sure you have enough people answering calls to be commensurate with call volume.

My net promotor score mostly reflects how inconvenient it is to have whatever task I'm doing interrupted by an NPS survey.

Looks like organised artistic expression to me. If dressing up in the same outfit is the threshold for looking like a cult you'd better tell sports teams and schools.

Fair point... The supporters don't seem to be as vocal, although I have seen signage in support of renewable projects!
