Did he even say thank you?

Hunter’s Laptop people speaking up in 3…2…1… wait where are they???

“Fund managers publicly announce that they are incredibly slow on the uptake and yet still control all the money”

They’ll do anything except regulate the folks hoarding all the property for passive income.

They nominees are the ones who win the primaries, regardless of who the DNC wants the nominees to be.

Unless one of them is a self-professed Democratic Socialist…

Yes. You know when you see headlines like “internet service shut off in X country amid Y event”? It’s like that.

All of this is fleeting. If the govt decides to deny you access to anything online, they can and will. The only ones left communicating will be on radios. Backups of individual sites are great and all, and necessary, but they mean next to nothing on a grand scale if a government makes such decisions.

At this point in the timeline it is an eventuality everyone should be aware of.

Of course, there are economic reasons why internet access en masse probably won’t get shut off at the tap(s). But it may end up being the case that true, free communication, as we think of it currently, is impossible due to restrictions on speech through automoderation, or just good old coercion through fear.

Call me when they remove the corporate interests and the DNC listens to Dem voters about nominees.

Well, it was a good run. Clearly I need to become a religious charity.

Just like corporate donations are “speech”. Some Citizens United logic here.

This, and as far as I can tell, the only way to avoid being called a RINO is to completely eschew any kind of critical thinking and absolutely toe the party line regardless of how asinine or nonsensical.

Just to make sure it’s clear: not being Deck Verified doesn’t mean it won’t run on the Deck or on Linux in general. It means Valve has not hit their testing threshold for the title to mark it as verified or unsupported.

More specifically, it means Valve cannot guarantee a) the game will run (though anecdotally, I’ve had most if not all unverified games I tried work without issue), b) that the text is large enough to be readable on the Deck, or c) that the controls are usable (=you might have to just use the configurator yourself).

I think a danger Valve has introduced with the verification system is people thinking that not verified == no worky.

The crypto involved can be furnished such that nothing but the issuing authority and the fact “18+” gets transmitted, no name, no id number, no nothing.

This is a best-case-scenario implementation. I just think it is extremely likely that any approach actually implemented would not have the privacy of the user in mind.

The infrastructure to support such things are naturally anti-privacy. Ultimately it requires someone to simply ignore other info that would otherwise be accessible. There could be a unique governing body for that part which is chartered for only sharing appropriate info, but even then, it’s an ask for people to trust that body and that it wouldn’t leak.

The housing crisis won’t end until (among other things) corporations cannot freely own limitless numbers of single family homes. We will see perpetual renting because it’s effectively passive income for the corporations, and they have deeper pockets than 99.9% of individuals.

As companies own more and more, but don’t sell, supply dwindles, and the bubble never bursts.

I’m waiting for it to start using units of banana for all quantities of things

Unless the Electoral College magically goes away, this will be a rough election for a majority of Americans. Lots of long-standing issues are coming to a head with the realization that we’ve already been fascist for a while.

Far easier said than done.

Exactly. Watching this all play out is strikingly similar to watching Trump get away with a mountain of stuff that would have put a poorer person in jail, and yet, no consequences.

So true.

A favorite screening question of mine: “What makes you want to join [company name]?”

Ugh. I need a job and you’re my 20th application today. The world runs on money. The end.
