My first instinct was space to fire FWIW (Also its giving me Age of Empire feels here!)

Interesting how times change, my first thought when I saw it was "Dammit!" - I had no idea it was now a "White Supremacy" angle :/

Yeah the white supremacy thing is news to me too... I use that emoji as a reaction in Teams a lot at work, I sincerely hope nobody's been taking it the wrong way O.O

In 2017 4chan started it as a joke, but then the right and left decided to take it seriously.

To add a data point, my kids are not allowed on any social media and don't have phones. (They have iPads, but they are locked down and blocked at home anyway)

But that doesn't stop them seeing things on social media - when they are at the park, there are always peers there that have a phone and showing TikTok videos or Facebook reels etc, so even though I, as a parent, have blocked it at home, and chosen to not give them a smart phone, they are still exposed to it outside of that.

(And to be be fair, the same happens to me in a way. I don't have any social media logins, but I still get sent links for Instagram/FB/TikTok from friends, or my wife will show me something she's seen there, so it seems there really isn't much escape from it!)

Maybe I just don't surf the web as much anymore, but everything I use or click on works in Firefox on Linux, I can't remember the last time I found something that didn't work (other than some Show HN fancy graphics thing)

"don't know about the secret shortcut way to do that, it is very annoying to get one"

Is that a US thing? Because in the UK you just get one for free - Companies House sends the info over to them, and a couple of days later it is available to search

I remember when I first started out in a job that I should have a green poster nearby to look at to "relax your eyes" every now and then.

And then how does public wifi work? Stand outside a Weatherspoons, or just walk down a highstreet with free internet, back to square one

seems dead simple to me: if you host public wifi, you are responsible for the people that use it. easy!

just like you already are responsible for what happens on your free public network (torrenting, hacking, CSAM, etc.) in most jurisdictions

(for what its worth, i think age verification is dumb. but it looks like we're getting it one way or the other)

I noticed this a couple of years ago too, I just ignored the letters, continued to receive the emails, and they stopped sending me letters about it /shrug

Fix deployed! This is why it's good to launch on hacker news. thanks for the tip.

Nice one - thanks :)

Good catch! Working on a fix now.

I did something similar[0] in JS on a Christmas eve eve a while back - needs to run via a server now as Web Workers cannot be loaded from file:// anymore.

python3 -m http.server 8080
