The ID scheme doesn’t require user identification on a device, which would be superfluous.


Ghostbusters on the C64, it sucked.

Manic Miner, a ruined rip-off of Miner 2049er.


If they don’t have an age signal they won’t be able to access social media or Youtube.

They won’t be deciding to just do without California.


That’s not what they asked

Wrong. That is all that is asked in the Californian legislation.


You cannot sideload on Linux, not unless you’re some sort of mutant freak who can reverse engineer C code.


The APK installation process is already more inconvenient than it should be,

You what. All you have to do is download the apk and then run it on the phone. HTF could it be any easier ?


There are many very good reasons to host apps outside the Play Store.

You won’t have to upload apks to the Play Store.

Nonsense story.




Button cells should be standardised to only two sizes.

They are a health hazard, a live cell can eat through the stomach of a toddler very easily.

The main reason this occurs is because people buy those multiple size packs because every device has a different size.


I don’t get it isn’t it expensive ?

Say each machine cost $500 to buy and maintain, multiply that by 30 booths and then tens of thousands of polling stations the costs would be massive.

You can just scan the ballots in to get a quick count and then hand count them later.


Right now, if you install a fresh copy of Windows 11 or buy new hardware, then go through the out-of-box experience screens, you’ll be forced to sign in to your Microsoft account.

Most people buy PCs with Windows installed, so they do not need to sign up to a Microsoft account. Yes, its keeps bugging you to, but its not mandatory.

The security features (like Bitlocker and the tpm chip) and OneDrive are linked to the device, not the user, so it doesn’t actually need you to have an account or a OneDrive folder to run the security features.


If you don’t have age verification you will be blocked from sites that require it, because you can absolutely guarantee they will not want to lose the Californian market.


Wonder if Motorola feels the same way.

Motorola phones will have both Graphene and Android.


You don’t need to be an electrician to install a plug in Britain, in fact they sometimes sell appliances without plugs in Britain, so your excuse is irrelevant.

It’s to “help with administrative tasks like scheduling, explaining invoices, etc.”

Heh fuck me dead. Ai famously is terrible at basic arithmetic. It would be suicidal to use it for invoices.



The purge started at the top and worked its way down. Senior party members were the first ones executed.

Once it got down to the lower levels of the civil service, the cheka would just round up anyone in the streets to meet the quota.
