The fact that so few people on here are talking about the Denmark leak is shocking to me. Like the entire population of Denmark have all of their PII just out there now, and no one is talking about it. We should not let this shit be normalised.

Another day, another hack. And governments around the world are still trying to get ppl give up their PII data to unknown third parties. You'll have your data abused and fraud happen to you either way. The only difference is government are encouraging you to give them permission.

In light of this news, the UK Labour government to push digital ID and internet identity checks even harder. The European Commission to fast track the KIDS Act. I'm only being somewhat facetious. The goal really does seem to be to have all our PII leaked.

Denmark had a huge data breach of 8.8 million people's PII. For context, they have a living population of around 6 million. The 8.8 mil figure includes people who have emigrated, and the deceased. Not even death can spare us of the surveillance state.

How long before we start seeing "social media users face blood and semen sample tests to enforce under-16 ban" headlines? I give it 3 months, tops, given how quickly things have already escalated. "Social media users face mandatory microchip insertions to enforce under-16 ban."

The proposed social media ban, the EU KIDS Act, is perhaps the most chaotic law I have ever read! New paper: Are EU Kidding Me? Notes from a Poorly Drafted Social Media Ban. files.michae.lv/papers/veale_areEUkiddingme.pdf In the spirit of the proposal I have stayed offline and read no takes.
In September 2026, the European Commission published a proposed EU KIDS Act, responding to the demand for restrictions and further design obligations applying to digital services accessible to children, including social media. This Article argues that regardless of what one believes about the merits of this policy direction, the EU KIDS Act is not the legislative text we need. The scope and drafting are little short of chaotic, full of holes, enormous ambiguities, and unintended consequences. Recitals contradict articles. The use of scope borrowed from other pieces of legislation not designed for this purpose brings services into scope that should not be subject to the relevant provisions, like book-recommendation websites, music services, or exercise trackers. The infrastructural requirement for assurance of age and parental responsibility attestation simply omits enormous issues of complex families and childhoods. Complex design obligations are written in ways that can be plausibly interpreted as implicitly prohibiting entire swathes of products, such as voice assistants. This Article outlines these issues, and many more. The Commission should withdraw this proposal and reissue a workable and realistic text.

Supposedly, low end AI data centers use about 100,000 households worth of electricity. On the upper end, 2,000,000 households. What I'm saying is "but YOU use electronics!" isn't much of a "gotcha!" when we're each less than 0.00001% of a small AI data center.

Back when I was young - like, 5, 6yrs old - my older brothers gave me their old Spectrums and games. I obviously had a lot of favourites but my "origin" game was Myth: History in the Making. Once I was old enough to play it properly and complete it, that was it, I was hooked.
