I think if it was a fake they'd draw more attention to themselves- since that's the most likely motive for doing it. But she doesn't really do that, the only mention of her acting career were her comments supporting the strike.

Interestingly, Margot Robbie, the actress for Barbie, is actually a Lemmy user. I randomly found her in a thread talking about the movie industry strikes.
So basically, they're not even using it to stop kids from buying games, just as verification when a kid signs up for a service. It's a good thing a kid would never just change their age and say they're 50 or something, and are always completely honest about their ages.
Also, a large company crying because nobody trusts them not to sell every piece of information they receive brings me joy inside.
Lossless is not always immediately better. But webp can be lossless anyway.
That's discord being shite. Same thing happens with AV1 videos. But if you inspect element inside the client and change the source video or image, webp or AV1 can embed just fine.
My assumption is that they're afraid they won't display on all platforms. But it could still try.
I can't speak for Messenger though. I won't touch Facebook with a pole.
I also very often encounter huge PNG photos with their extensions changed to JPG, and I don’t know how or why that is happening.
Probably people uploading to sites that limit extensions thinking they're clever by just changing the extension, or being straight up wrong in thinking the extension changing actually changes the file type.
The sites might not bother to check the metadata, and anything worth any salt that displays the image will ignore the extension anyway.
$55/mo
Their introductory rates for fiber, last I saw, was $30.
You've got half the ingredients to make some pilk on the right side at least. They're catering to a market here.
Can I have that problem instead of being stuck to a single ISP that charges more for copper wire service than they do fiber in the places they have it?
Since it determines if you're over the age of 25, maybe instead they could get a more accurate measure by having you drink a verification beer.
Fantastic write up. I first got a real taste of the Internet around 2003 when my parents finally relented and got dial-up from a local power company. We had dialup with the associated drawbacks for around 3 years until we got DSL in around 06. The ability to use the net when I wanted let me start learning how things worked, very slowly.
I do wish I'd had Internet access earlier and been a little bit older to experience the height of BBSes and the like, but I got to see the tail end of a different time in internet history, which I appreciate in itself.
Google and Chrome really need to be broken up. Maybe people should start writing (physical) letters to the FTC asking to review Google's recent actions as monopolistic behavior.
It wouldn't be the first time. But showing the interest is the best way to get the ball rolling that we can do.
