This is a recurring theme. Someone comes to the realisation that the 'endless growth' model is an unfair way to organise civilisation.

It's heartwarming to see so many people come to the realisation that endless consumption/growth/production makes us miserable.

The issue is that we all exist under capitalism, unfortunately until it's gone, we're forced to live within it.

They probably gave up on their Snapdragon X efforts as Snapdragon X2 Elite was nipping at their heels and they'd have a redundant device by the time their efforts came to market.

Anyone know why news.ycombinator.com hasn't fallen foul of this legislation?

To "fall foul", i.e. be required to add highly effective age assurance, there's a number of tests you have to pass

One of the tests is:

> Are there a significant number of children using the service or is the service likely to attract a significant number of children.

I'd guess that HN would be in scope for the act overall - they provide user-to-user functionality and have a lot of users in the UK. Either they answer no to the questions above, or they answer yes and should have performed a risk assessment where they look at things like what kind of content is allowed, how the site is moderated, how do users contact each other etc etc.

I hope any websites geoblocking UK ip addresses will leave some message about why they are blocking access, so the user sees it and hates it.

Here's my geoblock message for https://newsgrouper.org -

Blocked due to UK Online Safety Act

You appear to be connecting from an IP address in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately this site is no longer available to UK users. This is due to the requirements of the UK's Online Safety Act, which are not practical for this site to comply with. If you feel this is unjustified, I can only suggest that you write to your Member of Parliament. This site remains in operation for non-UK users, as they are outside the scope of the Act.

For more information see Ofcom's official site, and an unofficial guide.

Other web interfaces to Usenet are available, and may continue to allow UK users, see Wikipedia.

Lobsters hasn't been blocked here in the UK.

If you live in the UK and have recently got FTTP, this box is capable of giving you pretty much close to the ISP advertised speeds (with SQM enabled in OpenWRT). It should be good for symmetric gigabit connections, which is very cool!

Imagine running PiHole and WireGuard on your router… exceptional stuff.

Whatever you think of cryptocurrencies, the mystery is alluring and endlessly fascinating.

I’m glad to see the author note that the installer is problematic - I think I’ve only had 1 seamless install in about a dozen attempts.

I filed a bug report to add a function to copy error messages from the installer - would be really helpful to file meaningful bugs reports

Yeah the headings being teeny weeny is jarring.

Differentiating headings using smaller size than text is legit approach as hiearchy is created using difference (not size). Its often used in print.

But this is so badly executed it looks more like a mistake.

Judging also by the lack of padding around section headers I'm pretty sure them being in a smaller font was not a design decision in this case, but rather a lack of testing.
