I want to add an additional point or two; unlike Reddit, people generally don’t care about karma (total up votes aren’t really counted and some instances don’t even do downvotes, etc) so even if we were mainstream you won’t see much karma farming. People post genuinely, although it might just be a dudes memes on their phone, etc.

Another is regarding the culture, as you may still get banned from specific instances. For instance, there are tankies (authoritarian communists) in places we mostly defederated from that ban you if you criticize the Chinese government or even North Korea (!). World, a typical go to for Redditors, tends to be center left but had their own controversial moments. Personally I don’t mind their defederation choices except I have to use another instance to access pro-piracy stuff (which div0 folks have the best of).

When the prefrontal cortex is mostly formed, somewhere around 25 to 30. It’s the part that helps inhibition, like controlling your emotions and impulses, and also the last part of the brain to be finished. It’s quite downhill from there!

I drink it with milk but my wife is lactose intolerant so she has it with oat. She prefers it to almond and soy milk, however there are vast differences between brands and types.

If you want to try something genuinely competitive, I found the “barista” Oatley to be very good. Typically if it’s marketed for barista use, it’s thick and uses a different binding that works better in coffee. It’s not good for cereal and stuff, though, it often feels like drinking half and half. Lol

That’s depressing, lol. Well, my guess is it won’t be 100% enforceable because there will always be computers with root access, and it won’t matter while Windows and Mac capitulate and 95% of the market complies because they’re used to signing up for shit. It might be illegal at the user level but not enforceable, much like a lot of other things.

Silver lining, another generation of horny teens will learn to love Linux the same way I was pushed into rooted devices at a young age.

Yes, I read that but how? We 100% should be more concerned with fed implementation than what states were doing, as I’m betting it’s going to be as stupid as UKs approach to app based verification.

I’m not sure they could even do that in a reasonable way when there are use cases like offline installs, no cameras, etc, but given Windows requires hoops to jump to avoid getting an MS account, that’s probably not going to be a concern of theirs (as Congress is exceptionally inept). At least the CA law seems to consider that, given it’s just self report.

I hope this just manifests as a transition from “I lied about my age to steam, Minecraft and pornhub” to “I let my OS lie about my age to steam, Minecraft and pornhub.”

But I get the fear that they’re going to take it too far and require ID, especially since the feds are a thousand times worse than the state governments in question.

It would be social psychology. And I teach social psychology, so mission accomplished.

We did ours as soon as we had the documents, around mid Feb. Despite how incredibly awful everything is lately, there’s still child tax credits and daycare credits from smarter times. No reason to procrastinate that, especially as we can invest it in a long term fund for the kids.

Win the cyborg over by accident with my overwhelming charisma and together we overthrow the BBEG.
