- Comment on On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not. 2 weeks ago:
This sounds like any website suddenly becomes an app store as soon as it starts distributing software for a mobile device. So (ignoring my following point), if I suddenly post my new APK on my personal site suddenly it’s an app store!?
I think so. The intention is probably to have the law cover any method of getting your hands on an app, not just what we typically know as “app stores”. Otherwise, it would leave a loophole.
This sounds like it includes laptops but not desktop computers.
I thought that at first too, but I think the part at the end about “handheld electronic devices” is what limits it to not include laptops.

with a fan for both cooling and that sweet white noise.
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 3 weeks ago:
“Everyone” had nothing to do with my reply. You were saying that transphobia was not common. I quoted the relevant statistic from the survey you linked that implied otherwise.

Thirty-one percent of U.S. adults disapprove of transgender and nonbinary adults living their lives as they wish
That sure doesn’t sound like a niche thing

The pictured guy isn’t Penis Man. He was just expressing his support for what Penis Man represents: standing firm and proud in the face of insurmountable odds, juggling all the balls that life throws at you, and giving full-throated support to those around you.

It’s a fake novelty check. Someone else probably just drew a fake Trump “signature” when it was made.

That makes it even worse, because the S is intended to be shared, but not the Y. Just all around bad design.

- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 2 months ago:
…and Perplexity’s scraping is unnecessarily traffic intensive since they don’t cache the scraped data.
That seems almost maliciously stupid. We need to train a new model. Hey, where’d the data go? Oh well, let’s just go scrape it all again. Wait, did we already scrape this site? No idea, let’s scrape it again just to be sure.

- Comment on Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash 2 months ago:
That jumped out at me too. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it could be that this “snapshot” includes a very large amount of data that could be problematic if stored locally for longer. In reality, they probably do it this way for exactly this type of situation, so they can retain full control of the potentially-damning data.

Did you visit before 2018? It sounds like things changed then and it’s more of a lifetime thing now. See the “Deemed Rehabilitation” section here: www.canadaduientrylaw.com

Plot twist: their position on hate speech is in favour, and her role will be to develop ways to encourage it.

“Hey Sackeshi, didn’t I hear that you were working over at ABC Corp last year? I’m curious why you chose to leave that off of your resume?”
- Comment on Bring them back!!! 3 months ago:
That’s actually a persistent myth. I’ve heard it myself as a wearer of an iron ring, but it isn’t true. The myth was that the first iron rings were made from the remains of the first Quebec Bridge, but they weren’t, let alone any over the century since. The bridge collapse did inspire the creation of the iron rings, though.
- Comment on Hello, non-Americans, do you have any Chinese language classes in your education system? 4 months ago:
I mean, when you addressed what is frankly a minor, tangential part of the OP with an essay, it does come across as heavy-handed, even if that isn’t what you meant by it
- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 4 months ago:
You may be misremembering the 2nd amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It doesn’t say anything about the government being prohibited from using force against citizens. It’s about citizens being able to have firearms (arguably, with the caveat that they’re part of a militia, but that’s a whole other discussion).
