That’s depressing, lol. Well, my guess is it won’t be 100% enforceable because there will always be computers with root access, and it won’t matter while Windows and Mac capitulate and 95% of the market complies because they’re used to signing up for shit. It might be illegal at the user level but not enforceable, much like a lot of other things.

Silver lining, another generation of horny teens will learn to love Linux the same way I was pushed into rooted devices at a young age.

Yes, I read that but how? We 100% should be more concerned with fed implementation than what states were doing, as I’m betting it’s going to be as stupid as UKs approach to app based verification.

I’m not sure they could even do that in a reasonable way when there are use cases like offline installs, no cameras, etc, but given Windows requires hoops to jump to avoid getting an MS account, that’s probably not going to be a concern of theirs (as Congress is exceptionally inept). At least the CA law seems to consider that, given it’s just self report.

I hope this just manifests as a transition from “I lied about my age to steam, Minecraft and pornhub” to “I let my OS lie about my age to steam, Minecraft and pornhub.”

But I get the fear that they’re going to take it too far and require ID, especially since the feds are a thousand times worse than the state governments in question.

If it helps, lane changing is one of the main reasons for congestion so if you’re only making a short trip (e.g. same city) you might as well keep right-ish.

In heavy traffic it’s usually not even much slower, and sometimes even faster, so I often stay in the right two lanes if I’m just going downtown or something. I usually also help with the flow of traffic by letting people in and out for the three or four exits I’m passing, since I try not to tailgate.

Already mentioned but I’ll second https://isthereanydeal.com/ as existing.

That said, Valve has a fairly generous refund policy and the real kicker would be if Valve would automatically give you the better deal if the price drops within the refund window, backed up by such a feature. I heard them doing that before but it was only special cases, iirc, and the period is only 14 days but still.

It would be social psychology. And I teach social psychology, so mission accomplished.

“I like FF7 but I wish instead of a JRPG, it was a generic ARPG” said an SE exec at some point, apparently.

He saw then charging a toll and wanted to also charge a toll.

Yeah, although I already did the goofball shit before parenting (maybe cause of my baby sis). Just now I have someone who appreciates random funny voices and silly faces.

It’s true, the only evangelizing I want to see on my feed is converting to Linux.

We did ours as soon as we had the documents, around mid Feb. Despite how incredibly awful everything is lately, there’s still child tax credits and daycare credits from smarter times. No reason to procrastinate that, especially as we can invest it in a long term fund for the kids.

Win the cyborg over by accident with my overwhelming charisma and together we overthrow the BBEG.

Of a high school of 600 people, they all know that one kid who is dating their AI, just like we knew that one kid who was emotionally attached to his anime body pillow.

True. I think Tetra mod might let you, at least. Although I think you need something for the binding still so it’s not 1:1, lol

A few mods let you do this. You shouldn’t, but you could.

It’s kinda like the founding of Australia - we get a ton of exiles who were wrongfully prosecuted by the Reddit government, but we also get a fair share of degenerates and murderers who also got banned and ended up here. There’s even a native Lemmy group who was here before Reddit shed users and they really don’t appreciate it to say the least.

Hell back in my day we straight up set fire to our wooden shields just for fun and an excuse to go ruin a gate guard’s day by smashing all his pots.

Time to learn DIY book binding…

I suppose that’s true. They didn’t used to have their butcher shop brand until a few years ago, and there’s no doubt they’re watering it down. You 100% can taste the difference with the higher end, at least. Same kinda for eggs, although I’m getting eggs at Sprouts.

Hell, tier pricing is even in the milk lately. I wish we had better standards, lol.

Yup! Though if you shop around you can avoid it and some chains, like Trader Joe’s, tend to include less as far as I can tell (except recently with those big breasts of theirs?). Not even that much more expensive but definitely a jump in quality. A Sprouts nearby also has fantastic chicken.

I’ve been meaning to visit the carnecerias near me, though. Getting meat at any specialized store tends to cook better, anyway, but I’m a little shy since my Spanish is terrible and last time I tried they didn’t speak English. Lots of pointing and gestures, lol.
