Oh I am fully aware, but I find it important to point out the underlying thing they’re exploiting when you see statements like this. Just like passing ID laws and bans on porn are a subtext to censor LGBTQ people

Oh I misunderstood you then. I thought you were saying that people actually used state IDs. I understand that they are available but in practice I have never seen people using them

Do you have any proof of that because I genuinely have not seen that in my experience. Usually it’s social security numbers, birth certificate, passports, and bills that I see as documentation in lieu of driver’s licenses

Elon’s stupid ass dedication to using cameras and image processing for self driving will ultimately be what leaves Tesla in the dust. A combination of LIDAR, cameras, and other detection tools are way safer than just cameras alone. I’m not a huge Mark Rober fan but he did show that you can beat Tesla’s self driving with Looney Tunes techniques

Just a reminder that America does not have a national ID and that while most people think a driver’s license is our ID only 71% of Americans have one. Children, the elderly, people who are too poor to have a car, or people who live in cities that don’t need cars (which is like, 5 cities but is still a notable percent of the population) are all people who may not have an ID and all of them have been rounded up by ICE. This is a further attack on the poor specifically but on the vulnerable in general

Can you tell I like rogue-likes? I do think they work great for mobile games since you can pick them up and put them down easily

Cool, I updated my post. I remember for a long time it was only available on PC and iPad. Not on iPhone. So I just kinda assumed it wouldn’t

Balatro

Drop Duchy

Into the Breach (I think this one works on Linux)

FTL

UFO 50

Crypt of the Necrodancer/Rift of the Necrodancer

Super Motherlode (since it looks like you used to play flash games)

Dave the Diver

Vampire Survivors

Hades 1 (it’s still fun even after 2!)

One Step From Eden

That’s some Kingdom Hearts math right there. The Democratic 7: composed of 2 countries, a collection of 4 nations, 3 countries that are kinda sorta part of that collection, and a union of 27 countries (one of which has a higher GDP than any other member of the group). Oh did I mention one of those nations pretty vocally divorced themselves from someone else in that group?

👏👏

I like watching people play Super Mario World romhacks. Grand Poo World is big and the streamer who made it (barbarousking) is entertaining

A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn’t some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

Agreed, the fediverse is small enough now that living aggregate communities are preferable to dead specific ones. Especially because everyone hates posting something, getting their post removed and being told to go post in another very similar community they didn’t know existed. As you said, if it becomes a problem you can just spin off

Neoliberals are like libertarians. They’re right wing in every way except they’re cool with gay people where libertarians like weed

Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

The entire for profit Healthcare system is setting up problems for later

Man if there’s a city that might hate Trump more than DC does it might be New York. New York city residents fucking hate that man, he’s been a stain on the city since the 80s

Well the original version was a little more on the nose about it

Hey man, I live here. We’re not a republican state. We have more registered Democrats than Republicans, and between the two major metropolitan centers (Charlotte and The Triangle) we actually should be voting largely Democrat. However Republicans bunched all those voters into a few districts and then gave rural bumfuck nowhere disproportionate representation on a state level. Then they used that to gerrymander themselves into a supermajority, then used that to start rat fucking the good reps out of districts (pour one out for Jeff Jackson). We literally had maps so fucked up our current supreme court said “that’s too far” and all they did was submit shittier and shittier maps until we got stuck with the first unconstitutional one because “we didn’t have another option”

We’re not quite a Mississippi where we’ve been shooting our own feet for decades, Republicans have wrested undue control over the state by being cheaters and it’s important for all of you to see that because they’ll do it to you too
