You can spoof IMEI and pretend your phone is an old iPhone. Carriers wouldn’t know.

But it is generally one of those things Games Media doesn’t cover since protecting trans folk is a good way to get boycotted and EVERYONE loves retroarch for their emulation needs. And the outlets who DO tend to cover this kind of stuff are under near constant attacks from kiwi farms et al to begin with so…

Thanks for the links, took me a while to get to it. It’s really missing some actual investigative journalism into this because it’s a confusing mess.

I did not realize there were so many toxic people around emulators, of all things…

Do you have a link that explains how RetroArch is transphobic? I’m OotL.

Shit I just posted this without seeing your post. Deleting 🥲

Not only that but recent lineups from a lot of manufacturers have 95% of the same power train including essential parts, and loads of different models with different tunes. The lowest trim BMW 1 series from a few years ago can be tuned to 200 HP without any mods… it’s illegal in a lot of places, it doesn’t stop people.

Someone raised the point you can’t change from GPLv3 if someone else touched the code and they don’t approve the change (unless you rewrite everything yourself). I’m not an expert but considering v3 is to avoid proprietary software more than v2, I would be very amused if this guy gets forced to admit it’s always been GPLv3 and he wasn’t allowed to set a restrictive license.

AliExpress at least lets you buy close to the source of a lot of goods that you won’t find made elsewhere than China. Some stuff I find there exists from European makers, latest example, trim clips for cars: you can buy Restagraf but you need to live near a car body shop supplier that will be willing to sell you a few clips without insane markups.

At the current rate (which may or may not hold and may or may not be legitimate) the initiative should beat “One of Us”, the biggest one yet with 1.9M signatures (pro-life, ultimately did nothing).

They are supposed to meet with the seven people who first put the initiative forward. It won’t change their minds if they’re already against the initiative but if they don’t care it may sway them to hear it explained to them. I have zero expectations since EU bureaucrats live in a parallel dimension but there’s some hope something happens.

Nach 30 Sekunden sagt das Teufelchen in der Lokomotive “SiFa, SiFa, SiFa”. Danach maximale Bremsung.

Don’t worry the cork will still be filled with microplastics from the soil used to grow it to the adhesive used to bind it.

In English they’re called reflex cameras. No one makes them now.

They pretend they do this in France and let cars and worse, panel vans, park 0-10m from the crossings, the law says minimum 5m away, since most towns aren’t compliant there’s a date they have to be compliant by: keeps getting pushed back because no one gives a shit and no one scrapes off the lines marking the parking spots.

Skin cancer isn’t.

Their sticker price doesn’t have tax, ours has the insane VAT rates already included. That doesn’t help. We still get shafted for a lot of consumer goods.

Even in 2016 when I had mine done it had to be done abroad even though I lived in a country where any consenting adult can ask to be sterilised without legally mandated delays or any nanny state bullshit. I was poor otherwise I could have sued half the urologists in the country because they gave wrong reasons for refusing like me not having children and me being young.

One also scammed me by sending me to a psychiatrist buddy of his who just went on to spend 30 minutes insulting my intelligence for wanting to not bring children into this world. I’m glad I learned the lesson at that age that just because people are doctors it doesn’t mean they’re not disrespectful and/or stupid.

The Swedish authorities have been known to mess with the reproductive rights of minorities, didn’t Denmark also meddle in extremely unethical bullshit? Is your comment an obvious reference I’m missing?

If you’re coding with them you can already try small ones, unless you need bigger than A4 size for each it isn’t insanely expensive.

Missed opportunity to recreate the Nintendo DS layout but bigger and absurd.

Some places will fine you even if you can demonstrably still drive perfectly well even to do complicated maneuvers, because if the law says you have to be driving in a good position to keep in perfect control of your vehicle at all times it means cops can fine you for anything.
