  • My friend, audiobooks may be for you.

  • quite a bit of bi-partisan legislation has passed since Biden took office

    Thank you for this. It’s good to get a bit of grounding when getting lost in the hyperbole.

  • Never actually blow on copper contacts, as the moisture from your breath will corrode them given enough time.

  • Sounds like a public admission that it’s against the GOP’s policy to work with Democrats.

  • What happened to the US never negotiating with terrorists?

  • “The legal representation of the voting machine companies is insignificant next to the power of Big Pharma.” - Darth Kreynen

  • What? You don’t want to hear about the latest thing Elon Musk said/did on/with Twitter?

  • That applies to things you legally own. Digitally purchased items are leased to you; you do not own them. So that cutout to copyright law does not apply to digital goods.

  • Sigh.

    There are dozens of reasons why I think it won’t succeed or change the landscape of gaming, but I’ve always been wrong when it comes to predicting anything around Apple, so it’s probably going to revolutionize everything. Take that, Fate. Prove me wrong this time.

  • That’s why the powers that be are inflaming the two political sides against each other, so we have the second north vs south (figuratively) revolution instead of the more appropriate French Revolution.

  • I thought I’d try and have a discussion and dig into the reasoning and potential misconceptions rather than just hurling accusations around. That doesn’t help connect us as people.

  • Meta is just acting in the way that all big businesses act. Canada wants them to pay for thing, so they just stop using thing. It’s all about money. Canada is the one trying to play the morality card here and basically guilt trip Meta into paying for thing.

    To be clear, I do support Canada here, even though the way they implemented this was broken.

    But Meta is just doing business (or choosing not to do business in this case).

  • What are the normal things people are doing that are being called into question here? What makes them normal? Does that definition of normal have potential issues that could be addressed?

    What are those justifiable complaints against the system?

  • Yeah, they keep changing their minds on how they want that unified settings window to look and never fully retiring the old way. It’s like that XKCD comic about so many standards.

    Trust me, I’ve complained about that exact thing a ton too.

  • Second Life has the same kind of system.

    Edit: This wasn’t a defense of the system, merely adding another name to the list.
