> Government considers social media time limits for children
Here we go again: an Internet watershed...
I wonder how the government proposes to identify "social media apps" for the (alleged) two hour time limit.
Per service? Or will service providers have to exchange information with each other as to how much time has elapsed?
Will they name which service providers they actually mean (Meta , TikTok etc.)?

Social media time limits for children considered by government
The BBC understands proposals include a two-hour cap on apps and a 22:00 curfew.Adam Hale (BBC News)
it's just using "protect children" as an excuse to curb online dissent. That way they can control what people post online and if you're against that kind of censorship and control they can point fingers at you for "not caring about children's safety". It's the oldest trick in the book and people keep falling for it.
As you said, the real problem is parents not being responsible with how their kids interact with the internet.

"So, does the institution always need to be only the host? If you have an institution where the members of it are also its voices [-->] and performers, could that lead to solidarities between artists and institutional workers? What happens when there's not a clear division between those positions? Would an artist we invite into the organisation then work together as a peer with the organisation?"
— Susannah Haslam: Infrastructuring : Four Conversations on Cultural, pp. 49-50
This answer resonates with me, in response to a comment about 'institution-making' and spoken by interviewee John Bingham-Hall.

Mastodon/Activity Pub question:
As far as I can tell mastodon posts are expected to have a rich text / html-subset representation i.e. docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/act…)
I'm writing a tiny activity pub service, mastodon is currently stripping out all html tags when displaying posts from my dev account (see e.g. mastodon.social/@sarah@tap.res…), plain text posts work fine (see e.g. mastodon.social/@sarah@tap.res…)
I'm attempting to work out why that is the case, but this is proving to be a hard thing to search for.

The idea of art being some elitist privileged activity that needs to be democratized (genAI bro argument) is funny to me.
I had no problem finding art supplies in rural Tunisia and India. My friend TomTom paints on cereal boxes because he can't afford a sketchbook and still does amazing art.
If you have a mind, you can make art.

Alan Turing died by suicide on 7 June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction.

I love pie! I used to ask for pie instead of cake for my birthday (today). I was surprised to find that these recipes were considered old-fashioned and were no longer being made so much. I have made and eaten most of them...so good!
For the vinegar pie--it's not as strange as it sounds. People used to make vinegars using all sorts of different fruits. These could be used as part of a raising agent. But they were also used to make a simple cordial or homemade soda pop. If you made a vinegar using lemons, then you subsequently made a pie with it including a meringue topping, you just have a lemon meringue pie. (albeit with a little more alcohol)

Self-Hosting and Media Servers are Big Tech's Next Target
YouTube is actively silencing legitimate self-hosting content. They don't want you to own your data?Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)
Sure, people could move away to more liberal/open platforms like PeerTube, but the audience there is too fragmented and small to sustain creators financially. Things just aren’t quite there yet
And why are people on YouTube? Because that’s where the content is. Viewers won’t move away until after content creators do. You are the people with the power to do this.
