“Legal” doesn’t mean much anymore

Because at the same time they’re trying to implement age verification for app stores while also very vaguely defining what an app store is.

The Act defines an “App Store” as “a publicly available Internet website, software application, or other electronic service that distributes software applications from the owner or developer of a software application to the user of a mobile device.”

So… what constitutes a mobile device? Who is an owner/developer? Does github have to implement age verification for mobile devices?

The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.

This is like removing the requirement of having curb ramps on new sidewalks because it makes it possible for people in wheelchairs to navigate

The truth is somewhere in the middle. GDP per capita is not really a good measure of quality of life on its own.

Historically the USA has brought a lot of people (most?) out of poverty by the world standard. Recent policy seems to be heading in the opposite direction. Quality of life has been declining for a long time, IMO mostly with our sense of community, the completely broken healthcare system, media consolidation, absurd levels of car dependency, high cost of having children, and a whole bunch of other location-specific factors (like cost of living in metro areas)

Its often some combination of racism, corruption, and hating poor people yet relying on them for all sorts of things.

I’m well beyond my youth and I’ve been following his campaign since early this year despite living very far away.

I’ve gone back and forth with my opinion on Teams, but now I agree with you. Earlier there was a lot of shit talk about it, and it just worked for me with no problems. After all of the additional bloat (now we have Copilot in it) it crashes all the time.

Could it be your carrier somehow doing that? I’ve literally never had that happen

Did any of them involve a massive government scandal involving violation of basic rights supposedly guaranteed by said government?

I’ll also take it with a grain of salt, but the difference here is that I personally know people who have cancelled. With prior boycotts I never really did, save for maybe some people shopping at Target less.

A big plus is that I can actually interact with people here in a usually lighthearted manner. You can still find that on Reddit, but it is extremely hard to do now unless you have some extremely niche interests.

I ended up being a bit of a hypocrite by not cancelling Hulu when Disney bought them. I gave money to Big Mouse. Not anymore.

Target stock is down but it is hard to tell. There have been some mismanaged Target stores in my general area that have closed, but there are also many that seem to be run well and are always full of people. You can compare it to Walmart but I don’t think it is a 1:1 comparison since most Walmart locations are also full blown grocery stores and they typically have more locations in suburb/exurb/rural areas that have fewer shopping options.

I did blow $300 on headphones mostly because I was extremely underwhelmed with bass on cheaper ones. That’s where I’m at - research the best thing for my use case in my budget, and sometimes my budget increases based on my research.

There’s been some twitter accounts! Meanwhile the KKK still exists and has never been declared a terrorist organization despite being an outright terrorist organization

Are nerds all audiophiles tho? 320kbps is usually fine. $300 speakers are usually fine. Nerds do the research, audiophiles are seeking unobtanium.

One of my favorite recent memories is someone tapping into the YouTube app on a powered display Saumsung fridge in Home Depot and blasting Caramelldansen. Happened about a year ago. It was surprisingly loud!

I used to never want a fridge with any sort of icemaker or water dispenser. The place I moved into came with a fridge that has an icemaker in the freezer and a water dispenser in the fridge. The appliance is approaching 18 years old. There are some modern luxuries that just work so long as they aren’t over complicated.

They actually have fairly cheap and somewhat reliable basic appliances now. I’m still never buying a Samsung fridge with a tablet shoved in the door.

Either that or you rely on Google for literally everything. It can be convenient but I’m growing tired of it, I don’t want my data being potentially leaked in 10000 different ways just so I can open my door easier 4% of time time.
