Quoting: Eocene84As someone who doesn't have kids (thank God) and never will, I'm really tired of being punished because other people can't or won't parent their children, which makes the government feel the need to step in. Hopefully the state I live in, Colorado, doesn't do something like this.

It's sadly not about protecting children.

It is simply a lazy and easy excuse because any criticism of the law will open you up to be marked as "dangerous to children" and thus socially destroy you. It has been used for all kinds of things going back hundreds of years. It is unfortunately quite effective on the species as a whole.

These laws also hurt small businesses and marginalized groups harder than large businesses and privileged groups, so it is unfortunately very apropos in the current political climate.

Happy four year SteamDeck!

Been playing on mine more or less daily since I got it three years ago! 😃

Quoting: SalvatosBehavioural analysis to estimate user age without looking at message content… I’m struggling to imagine how that would be effective.

Gonna require making some insane assumptions. I wonder what my "interesting" sleep schedule gets recorded as...

That's not a very fair screen cap by the developer he is doing different things... A much more fair one would be:

Quoting: Cley_FayeIf someone felt they needed an image to describe their sale, they should have put some effort into it. Just look at how Steam handled this. People are still attached to a random sales mascot character way after it ended.

Background art for Autumn Sale 2024 is still masterful.

I am totally invested in this girl and her cat just out there delivering video games by scooter. What will they be up to next? Where will they go? 😃

Craig did the job of a young, cocky Bond than this... Why did they decide to make him an insecure 16 year old? 🤔

but the PC release has a lot of issues on modern platforms

I seem to recall it having a good chunk of issues on PC even back then. Was an impressive game though.

Quoting: Stella

Quoting: mr-victoryThe bespoke maintainer is antheas I guess? They were pushing other members away to the point I feared the community / distro would dissolve itself.

if you ask me, it has become a lot more pleasant since they left. Of course it's sad to lose any community member, especially if they were contributing so much as they were, but they made the right decision there I think.

Agreed. But also, best thing I learned in my first industry job: "no one is irreplacable".

Driving people away, contributers or community, or causing loss in morale, is a much bigger hit than losing a productive member.

Heck yeah, EU4 still grabbing a third of my time! \o/

Except that one time in May/June where I was gone from the world playing Rogue Trader. 😆

Quoting: ArtenAll profits go to Foundation.

Minus, of course, the ludicrous CEO salary.
