- Comment on Acting head of Social Security Administration Michelle King resigns after dispute with DOGE: report 1 week ago:
The way to bankrupt a country’s safety nets and plunder the remains with capitalism? Can’t wait to have the SSA be private so all claims can be denied similar to the shit healthcare “system” in place, because we LOVE that system.

If your model accepts a custom OS, some of them make decent e-ink displays for weather, family photos, etc.

At that point they would be like twitter in Brazil when they didn’t comply with fines and were blocked at the country level: www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y06vzk3yjo

- Comment on Mexican president blasts US for harboring drug cartels 2 weeks ago:
It might be too late. It might have worked at some point in the past, but Mexico waited too long. At this point those organizations are engraved in Mexican goods and services
Search for any of these if you want more info, but the variety might give you a clue:
- avocados cartel stolen lands
- lime cartel cuota
- tortillas cartel cuota (seriously)
- cjng día de reyes (Mexican Christmas for kids)
- farmers cuota desaparecidos (missing farmers after fighting back)
- los 48 de ayotzinapa (missing students killed by government police on cartel orders)
Source: Mexican-American with family living in Mexico. Cartels tend to keep things under control to avoid conflict once they have a territory and tend to only go after people criticizing them, which makes it a slow horrible realization once they move to a town near by.

Why bother with this? If you want to make a point, pass regulation in Mexico to call E.E.U.U. (US in Mexico) be called Northern Mexico. Then Google is forced to comply on that territory like they claim they do for disputed sections when maps are viewed from that region. It would make for some funny reactions from people visiting Cancun or Puerto Vallarta.

Some android phones can run graphene OS, which is a privacy fork of android if I understand it correctly. Regulation to open bootloaders from manufacturers wanting to sell in the Mexican market would probably be possible. Might be the only good thing to come out of this if countries start regulating openness.

- Comment on Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 3 weeks ago:
While what you say is accurate right now. With the rule in place, automating small “check-ins” and “updates” could become a thing.
- Comment on US Government said try working, you can return to disability during trial period. Now they claim unable to go back during trial period because of obscure technical reason. 3 weeks ago:
That also applies to medical and similar programs. It makes no sense to punish someone for being able to save while living within their means.
- Comment on Mario Kate update 1 month ago:
From my perspective that’s when Mario Kart caught up with Crash Team Racing’s drivability from the PS1. Not even the successors to CTR got it right. Even the remake/remaster feels off (sewer speedway physics are horrible and the shortcut felt impossible on the newer versions). Mario Kart 8 feels similarly like an extension of what you want to happen and it just does. I do have more fate on Nintendo keeping it going in future iterations.

Was the drive scanned for errors before installing it? I’ve been running 2x8TB drives for about 1.5 years. If a drive fails, it is better to find out earlier while they are within warranty.

But then Verizon would get some of that money. The pile of shit company that programmed a physical key on your phone next to the scroll wheel to bill you 1.99 a month for the privilege of using 0.00001 MB of data if you accidentally clicked it during the month and it opened their shit “get it now” store. Literally the company that pushed for hostile design back in the 2000s.
- Comment on PS5 Pro Games to Scale Better Than PS4 Pro's, Says Dev; Maxed PCs Cost 3-5x Times, Can't Be Compared 4 months ago:
Even if I don’t disagree games on consoles are better optimized, anti-consumer tactics they employ have made sure I will avoid them in the same way I’ve started to avoid Microsoft and Google products. It’s not about console vs PC, it’s about consumer media rights for me.

I recall also reading about people in Australia and some other places with diets consisting of harder food for developing babies/toodlers having better jaw/teeth ratios and straighter teeth despite no regular access to a dentist, which kind of corroborates the findings.

I’m guessing some of them (if on work visas) don’t have a lot of mobility. That doesn’t mean they will be as productive as someone else. Seeing colleagues go to other companies and being treated better on day one has a toll on worker morale.

- Comment on What stick should I get? 6 months ago:
Alternatively, maybe ask if on the go gaming is their thing. I have played more games since I got my rg35xx sp than any steam sale before (there are many others of similar features at similar price points, more expensive ones to get PS2 and GameCube capable emulation). Waiting for someone? Game. Appointment call taking long? Game. Work lunch time and have some minutes to spare? Game.
Game changer. In my case I sacrificed capabilities (ps1 and n64 only for easy to emulate tittles), but I can even play GT2 on the go, what I hoped GT for PSP should have been. Depending on when they grew up, it might be a worthy sacrifice for portability.
