  • Given that you’re operating on anecdotal evidence, the onus would be on you to prove that the effect is exclusively gender linked.

    I quite frankly wouldn’t be surprised if men are more of a problem with them than women or non binary folk, but as-is the headline is needlessly and intentionally divisive,and does not support that conclusion. Hell, I would argue that the majority of what most people post on social media is creepy, men and women included. It’s weird to share non consensual images of people publicly, regardless of how insta rotted your brain is.

    We should all always be trying to use people first language unless there’s a really specific reason not to, and in this case the point is that people being creepy wear creep glasses, there’s no reason to bring gender into it, the reader can draw their own conclusions based on what they know about creepy people.



  • My guess (and just a guess), is that you either a) crossed some overall file size limit… Not sure why that would make a difference but if initially you had 2GB of music and then you had 8GB, maybe it’s choking after the 4GB point or something.

    Other thought is that one of the files you put on there is specifically choking it… Either something in the filename or the metadata etc is causing the running android auto software to fail midway through processing all the files and that causes some to not show up.

    Try again, with just the original first working batch and make sure that works, then try adding half of the new batch to see if that works, if it does, add half the remainder, and so on and so forth til you find the problem file or limit.


  • They can already target children through existing means. This doesn’t change anything for bad actors.

    Pedophiles aren’t being blocked from finding kids on Roblox because they don’t have an OS confirmation that the person checked a box saying they’re roughly a child, and legitimate companies can already do this through the numerous existing ways of determining user demographics.

    Targeted advertising is not a problem that is solved by OS level security, it can only be solved through legislation targeting the actual harmful practice. A user spending any amount of time online will always leak enough data to figure out roughly who they are, especially with AI tooling that can do pattern recognition orders of magnitude more effectively than anything that came before.

    OS level account setting is by far the simplest and least intrusive method of having some kind of age verification. Parents setup their kids account then the OS transmits the signal to the server. No IDs, no government involvement, no databases.
