Plus they also allow a user to present an age bracket of “over 18” despite defining users as under 18. I think they just did a bad job of clearly scoping it. It should be clear that it’s a tool for a parent to use and that it’s merely requiring that software implement age signaling all the way from OS to website to application. A default OS configuration should have no age defined and nothing should require an age to be defined. But if a parent does define an age then that signal should be honored.

Yeah I think the charitable way to read the law is that it requires OS, applications, etc to implement a standardized system for setting, requesting, and receiving age bracket data of a user. It doesn’t require anyone to use it. By defining user as under 18 for the purpose of this section it means nothing in the section applies to users over 18.

I get protesting about this because implementation is not trivial and there’s no time to do so. But creating a standard and all OS’s, websites, and relavent applications adopting that standard isn’t a bad thing (unrelated apps like text editors should clearly be exempt). It would make it way harder for kids to circumvent parental controls on a device.

Ah but that’s the thing, I did let you borrow the crimps, with a little lecture attached.

It’s tough because obviously we don’t know each other. I don’t know if you have real interest or just wanted someone else to do the thinking for you. You don’t know if I don’t want to help or if I was just being an ass.

So I appreciate you actually trying to give real advice. I should maybe think twice about my comments like that. I will give some advice back.

I would love to see more people like you do a little bit of background reading and a little bit of critical thinking on their own before asking others how to think. Not more than a minute or two, maybe not even more than just reading the article to see if the answer is in it. You’re already on your phone or PC, the information is very accessible.

Instead of “How are they any different? Why won’t they just do the same thing?” it could be “I get that they’re open source, but couldn’t it just get abandoned anyway? That doesn’t seem any better than enshittifying, so how could I tell if that is likely?”

Look into Paxton’s history of using consumer protection laws to do the opposite. He has never cared about people’s privacy before. This is almost certainly corrupt in some way, probably to either pressure Netflix to do something for the GOP or to score political points with someone.

I had the same initial feeling. My first thought was why Netflix? Is it a proxy CA v TX thing?

It could be spurred on by some recent success in the courts from suits against the likes of Meta and YouTube for similar things.

Sorry for being an asshole about it.

I just never know with yall if my snarky shit will get +50 or -7.

It still bothers me how much of the comment sections here are full of people who didn’t read the articles but clearly I’ll need to find a softer touch :)

Hope you ended up giving Jellyfin a try lol

But, my friend, it is in the article. We’re not hanging out chatting and the idea of Jellyfin came up. We’re in a discussion about the article. You showed up to the book club and asked us to tell you about the book because you didn’t read it.

Nah I was making fun of them for initially saying they wouldn’t apologize for asking questions on Reddit, when on Lemmy lmao

I think it just shows you actually don’t care. I think some of the things you asked could be interesting if you had done any of your own reading first and had some context, but what you did instead was ask us to tell you what to think.

You can go do that on Reddit, or do you think that’s where you are now?

In the time it took you to write this comment you could have gone to the Jellyfin website and read the first 12 words on the page:

Jellyfin is the volunteer-built media solution

It’s not free for a small town to litigate for years. The fact they settled so fast implies that the way they did it was not remotely legal. They may not have followed their own rules or state rules. Doing that is a good way to get a judge mad real fast. Judge could have put a preliminary injunction on the town to allow the construction to start while litigation proceeded. To do that the judge would have to determine that the developer was likely to succeed and that no irreparable harms would be caused. If the developers lost then they could just demo what had been built and restore the site, no harm done.

More likely that most batteries are made from lithium recycled from old batteries rather than mined lithium.

Another lying headline. You all will up vote anything that makes you mad without reading it or thinking critically at all.

• Residents didn’t vote on this, the town board did
• The town board was sued by the developers
• The developers were likely to win so the town settled and got some concessions from the developer

Well the thing is that they’re really trying to make it illegal for more and more people to vote.

Well the thing is that Isreal already has them. You can only stop a country from having nukes before they get them. The reality is no one should have nukes, but there’s no real way to have everyone disable them at the same time and have any confidence they couldn’t just make them again. Every one who has nukes promises to never use them unless someone else nukes them first, but we all know that if it’s a choice between being conquered and using nukes to stop it, promises are worth nothing.

I imagine they think winning means installing a puppet government. That government being successful? Well that’s the next guy’s problem…

Every time I see someone say some wack ass shit and look to see their instance, it’s lemmy.ml

Low tire pressure is not a safety issue, more of a efficiency issue, until it is so low that you’d need to be paying ZERO attention to the car’s handling to not notice. Lower pressure actually increases performance (to a point, and depending on the tire) because it can allow more rubber to contact the road. It is pretty typical to air down to around 20 psi for performance driving even if it’s closer to 35 for daily driving.

It’s very easy to notice if one tire loses pressure because you’ll have a very strong pull to one side, almost like a bad alignment. I got my tires rotated at a shop and they deflated the tires for some reason and forgot to refill one of them. On my way home I was freaking out that they fucked my alignment because it was handling so weird on the suburban roads home (not even twisty performance driving). My TPMS didn’t even go off until I was basically home already. When I checked the tire it was maybe 15 or 20. Certainly not dangerous but also certainly noticeable.

Mexican government is saying he was killed.
