If a company/person says "my tool is technically capable of X but I will not allow it be used in that way", that is unambiguously an ideology.

As someone already essentially living the simulated life, I believe the problem with MMOs is they aren't built to withstand the amount of time a person with nothing else to do can throw at them. So then they get boring, and I end up reading hacker news and making dumb comments, and asking claude inane questions, or generally trying to find other simulation-friendly way to spend my time (not interacting with people though, that is hard mode).

Still sounds like progress, in the before times it used to take _years_ to get to that point.

If I have any type its probably inattentive. Never taken stimulants. I was able to compensate for it without meds to an extent when I was younger - not perfectly but good enough to not get fired from most of the jobs I had. But now in middle age that no longer works. I like to call myself "early retired" now, certainly sounds better than being out of work for years.

I haven't been energetic about seeking stimulants because, well attention problems, but I hear there are shortages of the meds, they are a pain to refill (I can't even keep my non-controlled antidepressents going in the US system), and that docs nowadays don't really diagnose adults because they believe "it should have been diagnosed in childhood" even though the official pediatric diagnosis didn't show up in the DSM until I was 14. So close, but my parents who have their own issues _including_ attention problems, don't believe in mental health care.

You can freeze your credit with all 7 credit rating agencies (Experian, Equifax, Trans Union, and the 4 smaller ones whose names I always forgot) although that may not have protected this case because it is alleged Cash App does not pull your credit before opening an account.

Also opening a Cash App account yourself (even if you don't use it) is weak protection because they allow multiple accounts.

So if there as a defense I don't know what it is. Hope that identity fraud done with your info doesn't happen in a state with aggressive yet lazy/careless law enforcement.

Cash App sounds pretty scummy TBH

I'm just an unwashed linux user but I kind of like the icons for the days of the week, they seem funny and appropriate for each day.

Vision involvement should have qualified your son for antivenom. Sounds like good ol' US healthcare fuck up, again. Every time.

Could probably just get the source and have an LLM vibe code that, for personal use seems fine.

Why not? Access to birth control has never been better in most places, and they deserve some fun before we "adults" destroy their future and maybe their lives.

- Population declines until most of the cameras are just filming empty space all day with no human activity.

- Eventually cameras break and nobody (or no bots?) replace them because there wasn't anything interesting being recorded, so why bother

- Then the few people who remain start having sex in those now un-surveilled places

The problem with that is wait time. Sure if you can get into Penn, or a similarly extremely well known place, they are generally great, but can you get seen in time? They are _extremely_ backlogged for "normal" people. If you know someone or are a VIP, you can perhaps jump the line.

Had to make this calculus myself - was diagnosed with stage 0 melanoma, penn never returned my (multiple) phone calls. So I went with the local Moh's surgeon who removed it 3 weeks after diagnosis. Did I make the right call? I guess I'll find out in a few years

That screenshot is 800x600 - he probably wouldn't love software rendering at 320x240 which is what we actually had to run to get decent fps back in the day (late 90s). That was the the other big unlock of 3dfx voodoo, it could do 640x480 at 30 fps.

> We will bring the level of protection much closer to par with Windows, in the very near-term, using existing Linux features including signed kernel, signed kernel modules, and secure boot with attestation.

Yeah fuck that and fuck them for suggesting it. Do they even understand what running linux means?
