I don’t know why but most cats hate being held on their back like that even though it’s my preferred way to hold a cat

I understand that 2fa is objectively important but I also kind of hate the idea that if I lose my phone I have fucked. Even if backup codes or a thing I’m still in a whole heap of trouble.

31·4 days agoYeah I just looked up what Shariah law is and people should be free to observe practices voluntarily as a religion, but religious law should not be permitted to override equal civil rights or be imposed coercively on people who do not consent to it.
That’s like any law though this isn’t a gotcha.
You could say the same about taxes or murder. Yeah rich assholes find ways around laws. Grug know that this known quantity. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have laws about it.
I’m also not some kind of brilliant legal mind. So I accept that I would be under qualified to construct the laws.

They should close the cheats.
As I outlined previously I think this would involve somebody or a lot of somebody’s a lot smarter than me writing very elaborate law to fill in all the edge cases but yes.

Work Reform•Companies like Uber and Lyft should NOT be allowed to treat their employees like dirt
4·4 days agoIf you want to hear a crazy story I used to get government health insurance for like $30 a month. Never wound up using it but it was good to have. Then Trump does some fucking idiot God damn bullshit and then they tell me oh hey your new premium is $400 a month and I said nope and I canceled it and now if something bad happens I will simply die.
Jokes on you I’m scared of all strangers I’m going to run away now.
Why would you bother setting a fucking 50-year time limit just make it life at that point.
My personal opinion is that copyright should be strong in a manner inversely proportional to the size of the entity that controls that copyright. There should also be an extensive amount of work put into patching circumventions of this law.
If I personally make a little cartoon cat guy and make it big but I’m still just like one person making animations by hand I should be able to keep copyright on my creation pretty much until I die.
If I’m a multi-million dollar corporation the copyright protection should fall off dramatically. Corporations can still make a big profit on things they just can’t be the sole proprietor forever.
I’m not sure what exact figures would be fair but you get the principal, smaller entity longer protection. Basically the opposite of whatever the fuck Disney is doing to the law.
Problem is that people are incredibly good at generating pointless and extraordinarily lengthy conversations slash arguments about bullshit that doesn’t matter.
How the hell do you think they train the robots to do it?
If I understand correctly the reason for this is actually because what permission says it does on the surface does not always equal what it actually does. For example the phone or location permission might not literally be necessary but the app might have some reason to request. For example some of the permissions on Android are tied to using the sensors and radios and such. Also some developers are just bad and ask for permissions they don’t need. They shouldn’t do this but I’m a comment not a cop.
The strongest example is location. On older Android versions, apps doing things like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi scanning often had to request location permission even if they did not actually care where you were. That was because nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices can themselves be used to infer location. Android later split much of this into dedicated “Nearby devices” permissions: Bluetooth got separate permissions in Android 12, and Wi-Fi got NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES in Android 13. Some Wi-Fi APIs still require location access.
For a game of that era, READ_PHONE_STATE could have been used for things such as reading call state, obtaining a device identifier, analytics/licensing, or by a third-party SDK bundled into the game. Before Android tightened this substantially, READ_PHONE_STATE could provide access used to obtain persistent identifiers such as IMEI/device ID.
I did not understand being interested in that Grote ass mother fucker

Progressive Politics•Lawsuit alleges Freedom Fuel gas stations touted by Trump are selling stolen fuel
4·4 days agoTrump could offer me 100 million dollars to perform a task and I would decline if for no other reason than that I knew he would probably rip me off.
Knowing what I know about how AI works there’s something terribly wrong with that pizza and he’s going to need to take about five or six cracks at it to get it anywhere near usable.











I don’t know why but this reads with the cadence of Farnsworth from Futurama to me.
