YES! Still have a poster kicking about from the "finale". I loved the series growing up. RIP Edd

In favor of what? I still have to use control panel because some things are seemingly unreachable by the "settings" menus.

Any war but a class war...

It's crazy how expensive it is too. At my HS, as an ASB rep got contacted by DARE reps once and they where oh its only $15k per classroom. It all made sense when I started to learn its always been a money grubbing grift. It never had a good reason to exist other then excuse to charge alot for busybwork.

and it's not even doctors or nurses getting the money, it's not going to better hospitals...just lining some corporate's dragon hoard.

Right, I forgot, MS doesn't want you to have control what programs are doing or how your computer works. Corporate way or....linux.

I may be technologically challenged but Microsoft has been steadily selling me on linux ever since windows 10.

Seems not so much a "tik-tok problem" but example of a 21st century fad.

Fads, crazes, etc. have come and gone. Something able become a nationwide fad overnight is a product of the internet.

I remember something from "forgotten weapons" where he I think he talked about having to retroactively blur the auction house because he didn't work with them anymore or a change in their policy. Not a Google one, I think.

I just imagine, like navy, use metal that looks like wood. Then some good dehumidifiers...this could work.

I mean they will just plug in something different or find a loophole, would playing the Mmm hmm mm? and a big M be a fast food commercial? We aren't going to see less ads, just different ones.

Do you mean color? No, no I do not.

Some sorta survey/census for the fediverse might be cool

American men are supposed to sign up for the draft when they turn 18, this new bill would make that an automatic process.

Yes, it's called the selective service, but it's colloquially known as draft and that's what above was referencing

Yes, from I've read they haven't quoted any specific patent to anyone. They don't have good grounds, they just want it shut down.

Quite cringe, but having seen people around college campus with hentai hiodies and lots of "Gamer Supps" shirts, surprisingly not the cringest

lol, collect calls all over agian

Dunno why this got downvoted, not being bit by and getting sick from an animal is dodging a bullet. What, are we supposed to be "It's a poor 'lil guy, just be happy you get rabbies?"

I have family that lives outside of LA, that are still on copper lines for phone and internet. How, idk.

Also, our neighborhood just got fiber access a couple months ago, and we live in a decently large city.

Copper landline for many, is the only option available that isn't satellite.

See, that may be the case. Or it might not be. It's a risk vz reward right now. I am not good with computers and have had my PC, laptop, phone and smart watch, inexplicably break, get stuck on boot and had to have them repaired. I just know my mistakes are easier to screw up my computer and data on linux. So the worse MS gets, the more I am willing to risk it.

In this specific scenario, the problem is black market Marijuana. In a place where there is a handful of dispensaries, anyone over 21 can walk in and buy Marijuana, where the sheriffs don't give a damm about if you got pot. The core of this incident was "blackmarket" Marijuana. Probably also with the heightened tensions with a number of dealers getting pinched and lots of sheriff operations in the area.

But seriously we've had ups, fedex and amazon drivers deliver packages in ways that our front door or gate could not be opened. Kept complaining but one time we complained saying they could of killed us (Front door being blocked could kill someone in certain cases) poor cs rep trying to say no but uh yeah. I dunno what they put in our file but very rarely does it happen anymore. (and don't get me started on USPS where we had to talk to the post master general to stop that BS)

At what point does everyone need to be married to everyone and we remake communism?

Even in California, lots of illegal pot farms selling for cheaper than legal stores. Less taxes, less Q/C, less overhead etc. dont even need to pay over the border shipping.

Yes. I have win 10 and 11 devices. They both lack certain options and I've had to go around them, like using control panel. In this case only the win 11 device is at risk of getting much worse.

Regulation? In the U.S.? Laws aren't just made by anyone you know. /Joke Seriously, I don't think this law is a huge step to solving the issue but American Corporate lobbyist will spin something like this as the second coming of the USSR. Actually that's been the strategy for just about everything. We do have wayy to many people that'd rather see the country implode then, (oh no) compromise or (aghast) do something good for everyday folks.

Eh? Ads may play a part, but options and parent education are more important. I see people not realizing how bad junk food is for thier kids, don't have many options or simply dont care.

A kid can see an ad, but a kid can't buy it. It's up to the parents to be telling thier kid no, and giving them healthier options. Far better will be Informing parents better strategies on feeding thier kids and ensuring healthy options are readily available.

As long as parents think a cup of soda everyday is fine for thier kid and healthy options are prohibitively expensive (Monetarily or time), we will get nowhere.

As I said, I think availability and awareness are as big of factors. I 100% believe most Europeans have better access to healthier foods then many americans. Granted ads may spur kids to bug thier parents but if parents did better at saying no, and could give thier kids better options. I think it's not just a personal responsibility but a communal, a government responsibility to ensure access to information and food are available. When no better options are made available, there is a problem.

Fair, that's the part where I think a parent needs to have the will and authority to say no to their kid, but I understand that can be difficult. This may do some good but as I am sure some loopholes will form and it doesn't forbid ads 100%, it wont stop Fast Food ads. Even if fast food wasn't directly advertised, I believe there is more factors, like the availability of healthy options, many families don't have the time or money to make good healthy meals. This law is a good thing, but I personally don't see it as a huge win, just a patch that will be touted to solve problems it doesn't address.
