Balatro wins formal appeal to reclassify poker game as PEGI 12
It's probably too late to do anything about it, but what you described there does directly violate Indiegogo's TOS in regards to perks, so I'm surprised that people weren't able to reach out to the platform itself and issue chargebacks against the Creator in order to get their backers payments back.
They are actually obligated under the campaign owner obligations that in the case they can't fulfill a perk, they are supposed to issue refunds to any contributor that was not fulfilled
not the person you replied to but, that's better than I figured it was tbh
I'll probally wait quite a bit longer though myself. It even says on the main screen it's not ready for mainstream/non Enthusiast consumption. which tells me that I'll have to tinker with it constantly for it to function right.
I'm super excited for the project still, it has massive potential. I might look into a second hand one when I have more disposable income
nope, I'm the only one I know irl that uses any type of the fediverse
Mint is another good one, I would probably recommend against their Debian Edition(LMDE 6) though, it sounds good but, it's their newer system so it doesn't have all the bugs ironed out yet. I struggled with LMDE when I tried it last summer, which granted a lot of time has passed, but I rarely ever have an issue with their standard Linux Mint releases.
letters aren't going to do anything, neither will striking.
The current System does not legally give many ways to impeach an elected official.
It is impossible to legally remove a president from power outside of election season without the legislative branch.
Furthermore, there is no federal level system in place to allow for a recall of anyone in the legislative branch, some states have successfully implemented state level recall laws to revoke their elected officials but this is not a universal thing). Disciplinary functions in the legislative branch is predominantly decided by the branches themselves, which works fine if you have a functional branch, but if you have a branch that really doesn't care then no punishments get done
The most the everyday citizen can really do is:
- if you are in a state that has an elected official that is being toxic/against what your state actually wants, try to encourage a state recall petition (if you are in one of the 36(12 of which need specific actions to occur to trigger it) states that allow for it AND something has occurred that was ground for your states requirements for it)
- try to add such a system to your state if one does not exist (which would likely have to be on the ballot as well so would take awhile)
- or further educate yourself on what is going to be available on the 2026 midterms and vote accordingly.
I don't think there is much else anyone can immediately do that might actually get anything done.
if you liked the design of older style windows (think like windows XP), you could look into Q4OS. I use it for my laptop and it's Debian based so you will have pretty decent support applications wise and it has a pretty simple UI. I had never heard of it prior to a few months ago but I have had no issues with it.
Being said, I can't remember if it has UnattendedUpgrades by default, but that program can be configured on any debian based system to allow for automatic updates. It does take a little bit of configuration if it isn't pre-installed though.
Nothing really complex behind it. If I have something to add, I do.
But you have heard of me~

I want to say I agree that Apple was put in a Lose Lose here. Building a backdoor would be detrimental, but removing the obstacle does no better. Now other countries can say "well shoot if we just force them to put a backdoor in they'll just remove the issue entirely". The main issue that the EU had with e2e is that they lacked the capability of accessing the data, Apple removing e2e in the EU moreorless said "yea sure whatever you can access the data, we just don't want you to access the rest of the worlds data"
But whats the next step for when the next country (say the US) also decides they want a piece of that action. "Oh let me remove e2e in the US as a whole as well".
This was an L across the entire board privacy and reputation wise. Apple has set the precedent that they will cave and cater to big brother corporations if it means they can stay in operation in that country. It completely destroyed all the trust that they got from the previous fight vs the US government as a result.
I don't really know what they could have done differently then fight it though.
I just don't go to social interactions, easier
Just chiming in, this is not recommended for proxmox
The documentation (FAQ 13) actually directly says that docker should be installed as a QEMU VM on proxmox and that it should not be installed on the Proxmox VE Host
the amount of software I've used that lacks this type of system is aggravating. How hard is it to keep an object of property names, and if the name isn't in it then it errors.
this can be continued into command line as well. if flag -z doesn't exist, you shouldn't allow me to run a command with it. It's clear I am trying to do something (incorrectly) thinking -z is something it isn't, just error it and tell me that.
Because it's universal, it works, it's multi-platform, device agnostic and it's simple to use user side.
Nothing else available really fits that criteria.
The closest in todays age is probally discord or teams, but neither of which are decentralized. XMPP could work for it, but nobody really uses it anymore and to be honest the standard is ugly as hell to implement.
Browser Notifications are ineffective and have a high probability of failing or not being seen, they are more meant for real-time notices not historical notices not to mention locked to that browser.
App notifications would be amazing for things with apps, but not everyone wants to be forced into using their mobile device for everything, and it would again only be available from said app(unless you do use something like NTFY), which would generally be locked down to a device
Email sucks admin side, but there's a reason its used.
This is also ignoring the multi-use case that email allows for such as authentication as well, so if its already being stored for accounts, might as well use it for notifications
hard agree, I hate browser notifications with a hard passion, I would never see them if they swapped to that.
this is likely youtube's way of trying to persuade people into making an account, without going public that they are forcing people to make accounts.
I found it does that if im logged out on a VPN, but standard residential IP's it doesn't with.
I assume eventually it's going to just require a google account to use the service period
huh, I learned a few new words today

Honestly? With how much money the rich has, a major prerequisite for me would be a massive wealth tax on their current fund.
With how much money most of the companies that are problem children today have, a general strike isn't effective.
Take amazon for example, it has a yearly operating expense of 569B, and has a current operating debt of 52B (or a total of 338B in liabilities)
It keeps around 101B cash on hand in immediate withdrawable assets, and has a total of 624B in total assets.
Assuming the total yearly expenses can be easily dividable by 12(it likely couldn't) and without knowing how much money they end up saving in salary due to the strike, In order for a strike to really hurt Amazon, you would need to strike for almost 3 months before you even start eating into it's non-immediate withdrawal assets.
How many people do you know that has 3 months worth of salary stored up for a thing like this? I don't know many.
A union /might/ have solved that situation but, that money doesn't just appear out of thin air, its collected via dues, the same dues that the everyday person fights against, and if you don't /currently/ have a union, you won't have the funds built up.
Our local teachers union has that issue currently. They ruled that the union MUST accept people into it without paying the union fees, which more or less made it so the teachers union is all bark no bite as it couldn't afford a general strike as a result of it, because they would need to pay everyone, including the people who aren't actively contributing back.
I'm curious of how long it is going to be before the courts just rule a blanket "PA's can not access any federal data without congressional approval as they are not the president"
It seems super inefficient to have to file a separate suit for /every/ instance of info they give.
my only complaint about it is the lack of clear "hey this is going to be a major update" on the webUI. I did the update command and was met with a different UI. Which wasn't difficult to figure out, and I have to blame myself for not actually checking the patch notes first, but I wasn't expecting a major update from the webUI as it only said "new version available run this command to upgrade"
the upgrade as a whole is all and all a great improvement
My issue with the ruling wasn't the ruling itself, cause I can understand the argument. It was the non-equal enforcement of it. Games with actual gambling in it were rated lower than a game with the similar aspects but no actual monetary aspects. That's ridiculous. If you want to make poker 18+, then just do it across the board instead of picking and choosing your ratings.
