This should be an automatic impound of the vehicle and when the rep comes to pick it up hand them the ticket. Or you know, make the police send them a damn ticket.

Why won’t those people vote against the religious legislative class? Are they outnumbered?
For a lot of people religion is like a salad bar or buffet, they pick and choose the parts they like and ignore the ones they don’t. That seems to extend towards their politicians, be my brand of religion and policy and I’ll let you do almost anything because at least you aren’t that other person.
If you live in a conservative run state, watch what they do, in Georgia on the final day of legislation they do “sine die” which we sometimes call sign or die day where they just push through a ton of shit with little or no going over it before hand, they passed one of these social media ID laws that targets porn too, and it went through without pretty much anybody knowing about it from what I can tell.
What kind of database of depravity to use against you are these people building.
That’s why I said I wonder if their was a niche market for something like those devices, meaning I wondered if some company could make a newer modern version, like Apple used to make the iPod Touch for a while, which were almost the same as the iPhone just without the cellular connection.
I wonder if there is a niche market for something like an old Dell Axim x50v or a Palm Pilot that could do those smartphone functions on a wifi connection, that way you have the best of both worlds, carry a dumbphone. However, you could still walk into a local Library or even some McDonald’s and connect if need be on the other device.
Of course, then you have to inconveniently carry two devices and the temptation would probably still be there.
Basic analytics will be free but it’s intending to introduce premium features via subscription.
Nickled and dimed by a thousand subscriptions… Seriously who would want this? Who is going to pay to have their trash monitored by some data company?
They played the long game and got almost all modern browsers to become Chromium-based so they all will have the same problem. Is there any alternative other than Firefox at this point? If I were the one making the billions I’d almost applaud their tenacity.
I still burn CDs… my ancient vehicle has a multi-disc changer and doesn’t require my phone to be on, so I like having the best quality I can get before I do the burning.
That kind of sucks, Wordpad was my go-to for quick edits of things, it’s so much better than “new” notepad. I have Notepad++ and while good I just don’t think it’s a replacement for Wordpad.
I see.
And because Amazon didn’t instruct employees to preserve messages sent in the app until more than 15 months after it was notified of the investigation
I somehow misconstrued this line into thinking they had been using it for those 15 months and were then notified they weren’t supposed to. I screwed up there.
Amazon is just one of several companies recently accused of turning to encrypted messaging apps like Signal that can permanently erase messages automatically.
You may recall the government making similar arguments about Sam Bankman-Fried’s use of Signal during his trial for fraud and how that verdict eventually shook out. Deleted chats were also a sticking point for at least one juror in Google’s recent courtroom loss to Epic Games and came up in the DOJ’s antitrust trial against Google.
So are they using these trials in their crusade against encryption and having articles like this in hopes of turning the public against it? Because it looks like it to me.
The FTC’s lawyers say Bezos, current CEO Andy Jassy, general counsel David Zapolsky, former CEO of worldwide operations Dave Clark, and other execs are all Signal users. Bezos is identified in the document as “a heavy Signal user” who instructed others to use the app, although the 2018 hacking of his personal cellphone may be part of the reason for that.
Then a few paragraphs later they reveal Bezos has been an encryption fan and user of the service for 5+ years while trying to get others to use it… I get it, Amazon is doing shady shit, but this feels to me like the government is trying to get encryption frowned upon.
I’m surprised Google hasn’t done this with Google/Android TV because they already have special app permissions to draw over the top of other apps enabled in the settings, they just don’t seem to use it.
At what point do these companies ring the turnip dry? YouTube Premium almost doubled, Netflix cracked down on passwords and increased pricing, and if you didn’t like it you could pay a little less if you would just watch some ads, which we joined Netflix to get away from, people didn’t care so those ads are now in Prime Video and other companies are joining in too. Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, and Peacock all had price increases in the last year. At some point, you have to dust off your peg leg and put on a tricorn hat.
I bought it, but I only have about 9 hours into it so I’m no expert on it, still getting used to it really, part of that “play time” is idle as I do other things while it’s in the background.

EWR is still my favorite booking sim. TEW is just too much, but ProWrestling Sim on Steam is showing some promise I think.
A majority, or what looks like a majority, of Americans, do not want another Trump presidency because they fear his extreme authoritarianism and fascist views. Yet, they don’t want to ban TikTok, even though it’s owned by a company that must comply with the whims of an Authoritarian state. I don’t like the idea of a company whose terms of service state they can collect voice and face prints being accountable to a Government that doesn’t have checks and balances of any kind and may someday decide to use that against us, those people on the app are going to be politicians one day and that kind of stuff could be used against them.
And before people go but Facebook, etc… I agree, I don’t want them to have that data either and fully support a US bill that would codify the California data privacy restrictions, at a minimum.
It’s why the FCC nominee was blocked for 3 years, Biden couldn’t get a pick in until September of 2023, almost his entire term they blocked him from having a functioning FCC because stuff like this scares some people.
I loathe how they keep trying to make everything into a subscription. Everything “as a service” is not good for consumers. Then again this is their printer division… where you need an ink subscription or to buy “properly licensed” ink just to print anyway, the entire printer economy is horrible.
That stock isn’t going to sell itself, it needs value for Spez and friends to earn those golden parachutes.
This is bad for the open web, especially if more large sites follow this idea.
