Already voted. It looks like Bexar county is going to smash a turnout record.

I said what I said, little shit.

(The kid, not you)

I don’t really feel any remorse though. It didn’t do what I said. It gets the consequences.

Cool cool, now realistically, do you have the time, resources and know how to find and contact every owner of every federated instance these comments have made to? Would you be able to deal with the legal resources of any number of jurisdictions to truly test whether that is actually enforceable?

My point basically is that it’s functionally impossible regardless of what the law says, and you should treat your comments and personal information as such that they won’t ever be able to be deleted or scrubbed.

Except that only applies to federated servers that exist in the EU. If your data gets federated out to a country outside of the EU, they don’t have to listen to your whines of GDPR as it’s not enforceable. And given that you could be federated with hundreds of instances across the world, good luck.

I said the same thing with AI scraping. All someone needs is to add their own instance that federates with everyone else and they can scrape data for AI training till their heart’s content.

wtf are you on about? The Winter Solstice is very much a verifiable fact (it’s actually the 21st so I was a day off) and marks the start of Winter in the northern hemisphere. Christmas is usually (I say usually so you can’t be pedantic about the minority outliers) celebrated on December 25th. That’s still only a few days after the solstice like I was saying.

This comic is talking about the Christmas season, creeping into Halloween and fall festivities, which is very much true in the northern hemisphere. I see your on an NZ instance which, yes the seasons are flipped there, but don’t go getting butt hurt if you can’t read context clues from the comic just because it doesn’t line up with you.

Here’s the issue I have. The Winter solstice (Dec 22nd) marks the start of Winter. Christmas is 3 days later, yet people expect it to be in the middle of winter, so people keep trying to move the season up. Realistically they should be trying to celebrate it in late January rather than pushing it back into Autumn. But they had to go and steal Yule and then keep wanting more time.

Just a PSA, early voting starts October 21st (this coming Monday)!

That license was laughable and blatant

I’ve been conditioned to fear the worst when reading a headline that starts with someone’s name. Glad to hear he’s just retiring. One of the best composers of all time.

That’s one thing I do like about iOS, there’s a secrets manager API and you can use their default keychain, or a 3rd party app like bitwarden and they all interface the same.

Oh he’ll become jam alright.

Freeze your credit

I don’t know if it’s the same in the EU, but this is the single biggest thing you can do to protect yourself (I mean besides passwords and such). Freezing your credit makes it much hard to open a line of credit under your name like a random store credit card or such. Please try to do this as soon as you can.

I’ve found originals can be very hit or miss. For example I’m a FF6 purist, but FF5 sucked natively with just a language patch. YMMV.

I still prefer all because I get that… all. Any of the other methods limit the communities you see. Well except the instances I block, you know which ones.

“Family I like talking to”

“Family I deal with”

“Family I’m obligated to talk to”

And then let them fight out who renamed the group if they miss the notification.

Forza Horizon offered custom horns, one of them was the Teams “someone calling” notification. I would be in a race and use that horn and laugh as another player suddenly goes AFK.

Thank you! That’s what I was looking for.

You know I’ve known for decades that -9 is basically “nuke it from orbit”, but does anyone know what the “9” actually means or where it came from?

I remember the massive almanac this came with. And the copy-prevention would let you get a few moves in and then ask you “please enter the first word on page 236 to continue”
