Blink twice if you’re locked in a tech billionaire’s basement right now

Tampons have no place in me nards

Thanks, I’ll field this extremely easy question - By executive order before it was a bipartisan bill supported by every level of government:

In 2020, President Donald Trump proposed a ban of the app as he viewed it as a national security threat. In August, he signed an executive order instructing that ByteDance divest from the app, though the order was blocked by a court injunction in September and was reversed by the Biden administration in 2021.

To me, making sure that everyone agrees with a new policy before it becomes law, and sending it through the proper channels to be debated and then enacted, doesn’t really seem like a dumb thing.

The dumb thing would be to propose a new law, enact it unilaterally, have it revoked because it was enacted unilaterally, then have everyone agree on it anyway when you pass it through the proper channels, then toss it in the trash yourself at literally the first opportunity.

Which part of Trump proposing, implementing and then yesterday delaying the ban was down to Democrat incompetence?

It’s totally understandable why people do this, but my advice would be stick to small mods.

As soon as an add on is large enough to be a DLC, or even its own game, big companies are 100% coming after it. Especially if it is a popular game and it gets in all the gaming press like this.

I was under the impression it was meant to be Vice City. They’re just not very friendly to modding in general.

Paywall, so I can’t see the others, but the one on the thumbnail isn’t that different to the N-Gage

Well how do you combat that if you are in a household or shared network with others who aren’t privacy conscious?

I had considered that, but that would mean they are collating and amalgamating data coming from a single IP, which is almost as bad as listening to my microphone. Both are data gathering without my permission.

I’m not so sure. I’m interested in this thread because I had a recent issue like this. I barely use Instagram, hadn’t booted the app for a month or something, only have it to support my SO’s art account. Never comment/DM, just likes. Had a lengthy in person conversation about tattoos and the idea of getting them at current location. I didnt do any searches on my phone or any other device for that matter. Don’t have any tattoos, or ever look at that content on insta (only follow art and wildlife photography accounts). Booted up Instagram that day and was getting purely adverts for local tattoos studios on my feed. Checked my permissions, all disabled. The only explanation I have is that it’s somehow still listening. That can’t possibly be a coincidence.

Pffft, like he would ever cut short a golf trip.

Didn’t you read the article? He thinks he’s playing the game!

Yesterday he was a British Reform voter, today a patriotic Yank. I’m confused about his views on immigration.

They’ve actually been on fire with some of their best stuff in years lately. The above article is NewsThump.

What a surprise, the company that has been proven to sway the course of elections for profit might well do it again!

What a great initiative to whittle away the MAGAs.

Does not compute. Them there’s freedom units.

While I knew about the above I still didn’t really get your joke. Calling the fake company Genocide Inc. is kind of integral to their joke, in that the students are protesting against a genocide. If the headline was about Global Tetrahedron not hiring protesters (even before the real one existed) it wouldn’t really make much sense.

They’re pushing the limits of this simulation to see how much bullshit we can tolerate. Turns out it’s a LOT.

As most of the other comments point out, pocket TV did exist and you have exposed yourself as:

1. Younger than the smartphone
2. Never watched a 90’s movie with a security guard in it
