The exact phrasing varies, but in most states, the details of the law are the same: Any “commercial entity” that publishes “material harmful to minors” online can be held liable—meaning, tens of thousands of dollars in fines and/or private lawsuits—if it doesn’t “perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material.”

Sure seems like that would cover a lot of websites, including most news sites.

I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I just bought the biggest 5400rpm HDD that was in my price range when I set up. Might notice the slower speed when doing a big data dump, but for streaming purposes you can run many 4k streams concurrently and the bottleneck would probably be your network speed before you hit a drive read bottleneck.

I just went for the heavy use of blocking those types, and my experience on here has gotten way better. Otherwise, my user experience was just a fire hose of outrage and performative pearl clutching.

I’m going to go with you being crazy. Although based on your mention of “deja vu” and the number “4”, I did see dfview4. I don’t think that’s what you wanted though.

This comment section gives me hope for this platform.

It seems like every other captcha I get has a picture of a moped and asks to click for a motorcycle. When I don’t click on the moped it says I’m wrong. Pisses me off.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a PC. I just incrementally upgrade over the years. I would be disappointed if they came out with a PC that only ran with their flavor though.

Fantastic pick. Great song, legendary album.

Anyone who wasn’t around then can’t really know what they missed.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m heading off on a kind of long road trip, and I’ll slip it into my rotation.

I really haven’t listened to them since they moved from Touch & Go. I’ll give their new stuff a try.

That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

M-Disc?

I really was enjoying Handmaiden’s Tale (the TV series), then I happened to read the lead character is a true blue Scientologist. That fact made the show unwatchable.

My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.

I’ve decided to just ignore battery hype and tune back in when it’s time to swap out my house battery in 5-10 years. Hopefully some of the vaporware will have actually materialized in the market by that time.

I’m happy for a new streetcar line that is almost done in my area. My happiness is pretty pathetic and sad.

I recently read Kernighan’s UNIX: A History and Memoir. It was pretty interesting. Also, Bell Labs still hosts a page with a lot of links/info for Richie at: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/

Disclaimer: I haven’t touched Windows in at least a decade.

I was working in a warehouse with another punk and this came over the airwaves. I can still remember him looking at me with a really confused expression before asking,“Is this…The Butthole Surfers?!” Like it just clashed with his reality.
