Dumb question, and I mean *dumb*...

Anyone ever installed Windows 3.1 on PC-DOS 7.0?

I've got a bad idea...

Today's ridiculous moment in #skpoli:

- NDP bring a motion to curb EV tariffs
- Sask Party amends it to add language praising Moe and rewriting their history on the issue
- NDP votes against the amended motion
- Sask Party clutches their pearls and tries to make NDP look like the bad guys

OK, how long until either:
1. The Age Check provider gets hacked and the records are used as blackmail.
2. Some under 18 finds a workaround and spreads it.
3. A Government accesses these records to blackmail opponents.

Pornhub to introduce 'government approved' UK age checks

It is one of a number of porn sites which regulator Ofcom says will bring in tougher age verification for users.

The web feels so broken. Subscription and login gates at every corner. Using Google on a phone now means being periodically quizzed on which of the buttons to press to *not* be redirected to the app store. Opening an Instagram link casually throws up a browser alert dialog because it tries to automatically open an unsupported URL scheme, presumably their own app, and apparently everyone is fine with it. I'm proud that Mastodon never locks public content behind login walls.
