do y’all not get swamp crotch like at all?

And now a word from our sponsor “Sheath Underwear”

lol sorry this just reminded me. Also, I wash my junk before sharing it

This guy explains it perfectly Dave McKeegan

There are, yes, I live in one. What ever happened to breaking up Micoslop?

antitrust legislation exists

Well, it did once, but it was taken out back and executed quite a while ago. Now it is just “Weekend at Bernie’s” time, see Antitrust is right there points to corpse sitting in a chair with a smile on its face

MythOS, MythOS, where have I seen this name before? Oh yes, a VR game I am replaying called BONEWORKS, released in 2019.

These guys can’t stop stealing from others can they

Video content eats storage like nothing else.

2H video @ 1080p/60fps = 6.3gigs

I use mine the same way, but many people don’t. My parents would rather be logged in on the tv than connect a laptop or other pc for the same access but better results

Don’t forget the unforgivable offence that was his Tan suit

“It’s a banana Michael, how much could it cost? $10?”

Does he work all night and sleep all day?

I only have ~20 flat titles, but well over 100 VR titles, wonder how this would look. Meant to check this out yesterday but forgot once I got home

The joy of using the lowest bidder. Takes longer, costs more, lower quality. Procurement needs to change. Lowest bid always costs more cause they cut corners to be lowest, then the city/province/feds need to pony up more and more in sunk cost bs. Lowest bid and highest bid need to be tossed, requirements to stay on budget/time need to be implemented and used as a metric in future projects. This company always goes over time/budget? They get pushed down the list, only accepted for lower level projects until they prove themselves. Project comes in on time/budget? They get a leg up on next project as they are reliable. Why does every effort of the gov’t to save money cost us more?

/AFK (on yt) make some great vids

I see it more as a boiling frog, look at California/Colorado/Brazil and I think NY is getting in on it as well, then there is the UK/Australia starting points. The Gov’ts and meta etc are looking for buy in. As the discussion dies down after attestation you will see them try to take another step to submitting actual ID (you have the infra in place, just add this API…) give it a year or so after we’ve moved on to another subject

Any time “they” cry Maude’s line “Won’t someone PLEASE think of the children!” the children’s safety is the furthest thing from their mind. I hope I am wrong, but I have seen too much stuff like this to hold my breath. The more we fight every step the longer it will take to come into effect and we can hope for more buy in, from the less educated on this invasion of privacy of the population, to the resistance instead of acquiescing in advance. Linux distros are the last stand against it from major OSes, Microslop/Apple/iOS/Android are all on board, no fight. There is at least 1 distro that changed their EULA to say that their OS is not to be used in California or Colorado and lists the date that the laws come into effect.

Instead, to ACTUALLY think of the children, parents should be using the built in Parental Controls available on all OSes to keep their children from going places they shouldn’t. Getting into fantasy land here but, these controls should have simple to follow instructions so parents can easily set them up with no tech knowledge, simple access to curated blocklists (a great job for LLMs) so they can easily add an approved block list by age range, and in the case of phones the parental controls should block resetting of the phone to factory settings unless from the parental control settings.

I do not agree with this line of thinking. Instead, I reason that this PR was merged because it is not harmful, and a potential future PR implementing ID verification would not be merged. These are two separate things (PRs/merges), which are not in any way tied to each other causually.

PR vs Merge is a moot point here, I am looking at the bigger picture to see where these choices are leading. By itself the attestation is pointless as anyone can put anything they want, but it is step one - buy in. We should never just look at what is going on around us in isolation or the bigger picture will crush us all.

I hope I didn’t ramble too much here and lose my focus.

Some of us are old enough and have seen enough to KNOW this is not the end of this. They start with little non things like this (age attestation), see how the population takes it, and when they are sure a majority are onboard with this “Not really invasive, voluntary thing” they change it up to be more invasive and non voluntary(age verification). No, this guy shouldn’t be getting death threats, that is stupid, but he should hang his head in shame for complying in advance. The more we fight this, the longer it will take. I am sad the youth of today will never see the web I did.
