I think we’re going to get a strange three tiered internet, one where you have the mainstream social media platforms etc, one that is just AI SEO bot hell and one that is buried and only really used by enthusiasts. (For example, IRC isnt dead yet not by a long shot but its entirely technical people now using it).
This won’t work at all, children will begin finding even more shady corners of the internet to get around blocks & I doubt any enforcement action will actually impact the big players, this is just killing off small British websites. Foreign websites that ofcom has already tried going after have pretty much told them to piss off. Also a massive data breach waiting to happen.
It is the headlights, the UK has the MOT which is very harsh in testing and you cant just bribe your way through it (massive legal penalties for the garage performing the check). And if these lights are that bad while maladjusted then they’re still a issue, malajusted bulb headlights are just slightly annoying not totally blinding.
Ive had to pull over a few times, luckily the EU seems to be looking into it.
Uh no its like a flashbang wherein my eyes literally have black spots after.
On a straight fairly flat A road, no clue if they’ve adjusted them properly or not thats besides the point, they’re extremely blinding very consistently. The car I drive is very small and quite low to the ground. And these are absolutely not high beams, I’ve flashed a few coming the opposite direction because I thought they had high beams on, I am then blinded even further when they return the favour.
They nominally are, I still get blinded by them. These are 25 plate fords, VW group, landrovers etc.
I live somewhere with mandatory intensive yearly inspections, still a issue and is even a issue on new cars (can tell via the numberplates here) which have just rolled off the lot. Fuck these shitty headlights.
In my experience (driving a 2003 Ford KA) Teslas were one of the less bad brands for it, VW group were the worst modern fords are also horrific though.
Yeah this, its brand new production cars with factory fitted light units drives me insane.
I am becoming more and more attracted to doing a masters before I graduate… stave off the misery for another year.

Thanks for all the work Desaa, when I get paid ill try and throw a few coins your way.
Ive always found Titoism interesting NGL, syndicalist workers corporations combine the best if both systems while upholding workers rights. Im still convinced some three letter fuckery went on to make Yugoslavia implode.
True, I suppose similiarish divides in terms of.how they’re artificslly created by the ruling classes can also be seen in northern British towns, constant media exposure to soak the struggling working classes brains in culture war bullshit to supress any element of class conciousness. Porkies have also been using god forsaken social media algorithms for the same ends as im sure you know.
American red states are really bloody bizarre ngl, genuinely astounds me how they can be that full of homophobic assholes in a supposed western anglophone nation.
I love what they’ve made but their views are absolutely abhorrent. Having said that I am willing to donate as the project overall is a beautiful piece of software & I’ve donated a handful of times already but I will seethe that a single penny goes to keeping .ml online.
