Found a video and listened to it. I can sum up the problem.

So coppa is a law that restricts the gathering of information of minors under the age of 13 unless you have written consent from their parents. I have dealt with this in the last decade when a user on the website I was staff on was under the age of 13 and they had to print out a form that their parents signed and fax or mailed. Basically if you are a commercial business getting info from people under 13 is dangerous. Keep in mind the word "commercial" as it's important.

So what the FTC is trying to do is extend the "commercial business" definition to YOUTUBE CHANNELS and are trying to claim that YouTube is an agent working with a YouTube creator.

So FTC is trying to claim when you upload a cartoon or any content that could be directed towards kids they are saying that you are working with YouTube to gather information from kids when:
You can't control who joins the site
You can't control if kids actually view it
You can't control what data YouTube takes
You can't control if you are demonitized
And you can't control the age rating on your YouTube videos

Sure you have some control over some features but it is ultimately YouTube's platform and they have all the control. You don't "own" anything.

Basically the FTC is overreaching. And there's no legal cases to show if they can fine you for this yet.

I'm trying to change poll limits in Mastodon, but I don't understand JS. What's wrong with this?

maxLength={parseInt(process.env.MAX_POLL_OPTION_CHARS, 10) || 25}

{options.size < (parseInt(process.env.MAX_POLL_OPTIONS, 10) || 4) && (
stuff
)}

I love how sexist some leftists are.

"Traditionally, gamer gear has been manly. Microsoft (MSFT)'s Xbox controller comes in colors like electric blue or firetruck red. Sony's controllers are available in black as well as various shades of neon and camo. And Nvidia's angular, black controller looks a little too much like Darth Vader's mask."

"Boy like only blue. Girls only like pink."
