Science Fiction

Of which he had this to say :

The same jerk who stole information is whining about a supposedy illegal weapon attack. Oh boo-hoo. XD

////

Not to mention the trivial detail of Treh's Hunt trying to fire on a ship while in the space of a Treaty Commission base! They are likely to find out about just how dumb that was!

Reading the new checks that might come in due to the Online Safety Act in the UK and this is actually bullshit

[Image Transcript:

And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age. 

Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

Digital identity services – these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.  

Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18. 

Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours.

End Transcript.]

Not only is this such a fucking breach of privacy, but this is going to hurt adults in vulnerable and abusive situations. Some adults don’t have bank accounts or credit cards or even a fucking phone. I’m one of them. I could not give half of this information even if I wanted to. What the fuck is this. Fuck the UK government. This isn’t going to protect kids, this is just going to hurt adults, and I know full well when they say “sites that allow pornography” they’re going to be going after sites that have huge amounts of queer content, like tumblr and Ao3. Queer kids are gonna lose their fucking communities because of this shit. Abuse victims are going to lose online support systems because of this.

I’m genuinely fucked off about this, and worried about whether I’m going to lose every single one of my online friends. Anyone in the UK, please email your MP and sign this petition. It needs to reach 100k signatures to pass through Parliament.

I’m only hoping the backlash will be big enough for them to stop implementing these measures.

Lezon Treh K’lass: married into Clan D’ancer, once War Leader of the M'cratt Empire.

T’cass: one surviving sister wife of Clan D’ancer triad.

K’ress: the second surviving sister wife of Clan D’ancer triad.

T’lass: youngest kit of Clan D’ancer.

K’sere: middle kit of Clan D’ancer.

T’cill: oldest kit of Clan D’ancer.

The Feront: group mind being on the Treaty Commission.  Friend of Lezon and T’cass.

M’kah K’lass Lucin: a M’cratt representative on Treaty Commission.

C’rinn: a Clan representative on Treaty Commission.

T’garr: M’cratt Captain of the System Siege Ship, Treh’s Hunt.

////////////////////

T’cass was down in the gymnasium, working with Lezon on restoring her combat reflexes.  The long time in the MediBed had healed her body but the lack of exercises had taken a different sort of toll.  Lezon was guiding her slowly through the patterns of the V’naris.

K’ress and the kits were learning the ancient hand to hand combat system alongside her.  “These exercises,” Lezon carefully pointed out to her new students, “Are not slowed down.  The object of the slow movement is two-fold.  One is to allow precise criticism of the move’s form.  The second object is equally simple.  Control.  The control being sought is not only over the body but also the mind.”

When Lezon finally expressed satisfaction at everyone’s progress, she added softly, “Now, with the same form and control, hit the target as swiftly as you can.”

Tumblr staff: ten options is enough for polls, right? No one needs more than that on a regular basis. The average tumblr user: Hey guys which element of the periodic table do you think is the most fuckable?
