Is not clutter the very fossil-fuel whose burning enables the climate-change that keeps the weather on the Lounge oscillating from superficial, to relevant, to hysterical, to challenging, to conducive of the swagger-nest-building-calls of the greater CodeWitch ? Vive la difference ! :omg:

I don't know how it would help. People still have to filter information and decide whom to trust and what to believe. I'd far rather see accountability for those who make poor decisions that they force on others, but I'm not holding my breath.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.A lot of the problems with the internet are down to a lack of responsibility: you can say anything you like with no repercussions because nobody knows who you really are. Thus, people post offensive material, misinformation, and so on that they would never do in the real world because people would lose respect for them / hit them pretty hard if they did. Look at the amount of "how to clean your facebook / twitter / blah, blah" advice there is for when people realize that potential employers will look at what they have done and said. Look at what happened to Dalek Dave when he stood for council elections - one racist post on twitter and he lost them a safe seat in the middle of the biggest swing to his party in a generation! And we haven't seen him since. That's responsibility in action: if you are going to be held accountable for what you post then you are a lot less likely to post cr@p - and if you do, you will get called on it and people will trust what you say less in future.

We need to have a unique ID system for the internet so you can post stupidity like that under your real identity. The anonymity of the net lets a lot of rubbish and deliberate misinformation in, and the gullible will always believe it ... Mind you, the one that the Pfizer vaccine causes autism in zombies is true.* * For a given value of 'true' (Sir pTerry)

Sadly, the people that peddle this sort of sh!t, don't care about anonymity. In fact, they are probably wanting to revel in the 'glory' - and, currently, there's no penalty for doing it anyway. We just have to hope that the people pulling down 5G masts, get hit by them! ;)

A great idea in a civilized world. But when a government is run by authoritarians, people who said or say things that are no longer acceptable are at risk. Anonymity is still necessary.

has always, and will always be a core defect of the internet culture. :thumbsup: Sadly, I don't think it will be resolved anytime soon, at least in my lifetime.

If requiring your real identity was a barrier to posting stupidity, fArseBook would be a paragon of truth and civility. :doh: :doh: :doh:

Right. But does it have a decent API?

Its not a very good guitar pedal. I'd much rather be injected with the plans for a distortion pedal.
