Fun fact: plastic recycling basically doesn't exist. Only about 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled, and only 1% more than once. www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1...
npr.org
Recycling plastic is practically impossible — and the problem is getting worse
A new report from Greenpeace found that people may be putting plastic into recycling bins — but almost none of it is actually being recycled. Meanwhile, plastic production is ramping up.

Plastic is oil. And, unlike what you've heard, plastic recycling basically doesn't exist. Oil gets expensive, plastic gets expensive, and unlike aluminum you're not able to recycle it indefinitely. Your only options are reduce or reuse, and *then* either burn it or toss it in a landfill.

When peaceful protest is allowed to work, democracy works
Melbourne’s mass protest against the visit of Israel President Isaac Herzog showed how large, diverse crowds can assemble peacefully when police exercise restraint and common sense. Sydney’s response points to a deeper failure of judgment about protest, power and democracy.

You know, it’s just possible to feel really bad about the violent deaths of Israeli Jews, the genocide in Palestine and the deaths of Australian Jews all while being neither anti-Semitic or Islamophobic. Somehow that has become impossible for the political class.

Whoever has sent me a DM on here, I can't read it because I refuse to give my private identity details to an off-shore 3rd party Meaning - BlueSky has disabled the messages feature here unless you provide them with your age However, @bsky.app have farmed age verification out to this crowd 👇🏽
A screenshot of a UK media article, that reads as follows:


The path Bluesky has chosen is Kids Web Services (KWS), a system controlled by Epic Games. Yes, that Epic Games.
To verify yourself as an adult to Bluesky UK, you'll have to register with KWS. You don't have to use KWS if you're a kid - only if you're an adult, or "parent" as KWS will refer to you.
That's a clue that KWS isn't primarily an age verification platform; it's a child privacy protection system. The sort you'd build - or buy in - when huge fines for violating children's privacy are in the air. Epic has focused on the parental registration part of the platform and made it available for free as a tool for adult age verification. It might seem uncomfortable to force adults onto something called Kids Web Services, but to be fair rebranding as Adult Web Services would be even worse.
A free service from a major company; it's easy to see what Bluesky gets out of it. What does Epic get? Irish data compliance lawyer and blogger Simon McGarr dug around and found out. You have to give permission for an enormous amount of your personal data, including payment card details, phone number, address, face scan, national ID numbers and documents, access to your device details, when, where, and for how often you do things online, and on and on.
This is by way of building what Epic describes as a corporate asset of a database to do with as it wishes. McGarr has been reading the fine print: "If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we may share your personal information with the acquiring or receiving entity."
The price for being an adult on Bluesky is corporate surveillance, at least in the UK, on a fortnight's notice. This has very little to do, in theory or practice, with protecting children from harm online, and everything about protecting Bluesky and Epic's bottom lines.
