As age-verification bullshit becomes more common, I am determined to simply not participate in any service or video game that requires it. The day I see the prompt, is the day I leave.

@rail @jon after coming from london where everything is gritted all the time (railway platforms, yay!) seeing rennes not manage the ice even a little bit has been a shock !! the cycle infra is more or less unusable and i'm on the roads with the cars, although it was a little gratifying to see a car impaled on a bollard with one of the wheels dangling off >:) (no one was hurt!!)
