No need to restrict users under malicious regimes you're not subject to from accessing your service.

The Guardian claimed Indians don't read for pleasure. I ran the numbers across India, US, UK, and Europe. Turns out Indians spend more of their income on fiction and non-fiction than you'd expect. We read differently: utility-driven, yes, but also more intentionally. Data breakdown inside.

It's exciting to see the rapidly increasing number of electric cars on #Indian roads, but I'm rather disappointed to see their sizes increasing as well. Why do people need these huge electric cars? Just because they are cheaper to run? When I am in the market for one, I hope there are medium sized cars available. #rant

Thanks to everyone who replied! I am a "yes, but...".

Yes, but you should clearly identify it as remote content or a remote profile.

People on here freak out sometimes when they see remote profiles or remote content on a Fediverse-enabled server. They say it has "shadow profiles" or "scraped content."

Clearly identifying that it comes from the Fediverse can help with this a lot.

“At his peak, Burt, who has been in the voiceover industry for 15 years, says he was bringing in six figures a year. ‘I never thought I’d get to that point as an artist or actor, so I was crazy-proud,” he says. “Now I sell storage to pay my rent.’ While Burt says people have been talking about the threat of #AI for at least the past four years, he says it wasn’t until 2024 that things started declining rapidly.

“That was when I started seeing more and more #AITraining #jobs out there,” he says. “They were getting #VoiceActors to participate in their own demise.”

“The real visceral moment, that kick in the pants, was my voice being cloned,” he says. “A previous client took recordings that we completed together, cancelled the contract and fed those recordings into an #AIModel.”
The same year, Burt lost 40 per cent of his annual turnover. Now, he says it is down 90 per cent.”

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone | Eurogamer.net

Speaking as a parent my current opinion on internet age verification laws is that after the state starts putting the Epstein class in prison en masse then maybe we can start taking anything else they say about protecting children seriously.

2. 작은 손길로 마음을 전한다
3. 함께 웃고 울며 감정을 공유한다
4. 상대방의 말에 귀 기울인다
5. 서로의 꿈과 희망을 응원한다
6. 작은 서프라이즈로 사랑을 표현한다
