They will impose a digital curfew on people under 18, which will require minors to get parental consent to sign up for social media apps and force companies to verify the ages of all their Utah users.

This is laughable. I played this game before with my own kids. I would find their new Myspace account and have it removed. They would just go to a friends house whose parents didn't care and sign up for a new one. It was a back and forth. Then my now-ex started arguing with me about it once the kids started whining about it. Now they are grown and can do whatever they want. It was a battle I was never going to win, but if Utah thinks they can manage this, I would love to watch. Gonna go make some popcorn.

Don't forget that you can set up alias commands. So if you don't like the name of a command, or don't want to keep typing things out, you can set up an alias. For instance, I have to continually switch to another user. I set up alias so I can type gouser instead of "sudo su - user". So if the name of something isn't easy or hard to memorize, you can just make it whatever you want within limitations.

Yeah, I agree with you mostly, and hope my reply wasn't coming across as dickish. As a long time *nix user, I find the commands in Powershell to be equally nonsensically named at times. I do remember the times when it was joked that unix commands were usually named after the author's dog, but I think over time that has changed. I am sure if I had to use Powershell just a fraction of the time I use the linux command line on a daily basis I would get more familiar and comfortable with it. But you are correct that overall, this is a human issue, and not something that can easily be solved. Not everyone wants to delve into suspension tuning, some people just need to get in the car and reasonably expect to arrive at their destination.

man -k will do the exact search you are asking about. Now I have found that some systems aren't setting it up properly lately, but that command and -k option have been there for decades. Maybe you should try: man man to see what all options are available.

I am going to say this, and it's because this is such a cliche' response to me at this point, but I call bullshit. People making these excuses are laughable to me now with this. You aren't talking about scaling Mt. Everest levels of effort here. Everyone you are communicating with has a phone number, and you could take the time to call them if you wanted to communicate with them, use text messaging, or email. As for the birthdays and events, go to the dollar store, or an equivalent and buy a calendar. They sell them with cute pics, or funny quotes, or whatever. Then mark the dates down. It's fucking comical to me now how people act about getting rid of facebook. If facebook was waking up every morning and driving you to work, then yeah, it might be hard, but come on people... I feel like I am watching a b movie where everyone has been put in a trance and is just walking around mindlessly all saying the same mantra. "It's too hard. Can't break free." And none of this has even touched on privacy, of which there is none on facebook. People spouting this are just willing to give up any shred of privacy for some minor convenience and it's frustrating to watch.

So how should social media companies make money?

I guess my real problem with this is how underhanded they seem to be with the information they collect. I know they need to pay the bills, but they could definitely be more upfront and open about what they gather on people.

See, to me, all of those people are willing to trade their privacy for convenience. And the fact that others are getting rich off of sifting through and collecting all of this data also is wrong in my opinion. To each his/her/their own, but I still think it's sad how dependent people have become on social media.

Depends. Everyone claims they are on social media platforms to stay in touch with family and friends. I know no one on here and am fine with the anonymity. So it's up to you if you count this.

Last line of the article: "Just like choosing not to ride on airplanes isn’t really an option, for many, using social media isn’t much of a choice either."

Holy crap. We have reached that point. As someone with no social media, it just amazes me how people have let these apps become ingrained in their lives. Sad in my opinion.

Rumor is it was sabotage. His brake lines sprung a leek.

Lettuce never speak of this again.

So perfect!

I think this goes deeper than just actors compensation. This will take things to a new level when this hits courtrooms. Imagine sitting there watching a video of you doing something you never actually did entered into evidence.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. My brain is not a good brain.

I mean if you want to go full technical here, your dvd/bluray player is breaking the DRM as well.

Edit: Ignore this, I am a dumbass.

One day he will be gone, and you will give anything to have one more call with him.

Sad day for me.

Paxton is mad that their preachy religious bullshit centers masquerading as abortion clinics are being called out for what they are.

He also needs to pay back the senators that just blindly kept him in office. Those votes weren't free.

Hopefully not now that the FCC sued them and wants to break up Amazon.

Oh my sweet summer child...

Apples and oranges. If you are a cashier and theft occurs you aren't paid enough to risk anything, including your life, to stop theft. Companies can hire more asset protection people.
