    I have this in my area, which was weird coming from actual big cities with way more dense traffic.

    It’s like the courtesy from the shared misery of, “We’re all in this shit together” never got a chance. Instead people here seemingly never evolved beyond the “If I tailgate this one car, the 100 in front will disappear” phase.

    When you’re overtaking someone going slow, but they speed up next to you, so you’re stuck now and will miss the exit. Just pretend they were probably lonely and just needed someone next to them for a while.

    I’m against it lol.

    I think anyone that doesn’t realise there is not “best” in distros is either stuck in the consumer mindset or is so narcissistic they think everything they do is the best without ever considering that perhaps few people are actually like them.

    Truth is, there’s a distro for everyone. It’s super easy to test drive and hop. We’re spoiled for choice. If someone wants to contest someone else’s choice, they’re an idiot and can go back to closed source where over-researching and min-maxing is a requirement to get what you want, not a choice.





  • When I was younger, I had my Boomer in-laws decide that I would drive because I had drunk the least—I had drunk plenty. And this just seemed like something normal and I’d just nonchalantly say, “Oh, that makes sense. That’s smart.”

    They were upset that I wouldn’t, insisted they would, and got more upset that I ordered a cab.

    Fortunately, after they realised they’d lost, they sided with the idea being really stupid and irresponsible, but I think that’s just because they got morally caught out by a 22-year old.





  • God damn, not even the Vatican has laws like that now. Their age of consent went from 12 to 18 recently. I believe the marriage exception got raised to 14, which is still kind of wild, but not Iowa levels. Many of those laws are in place for, and exceptional to, accomodating marriages that occured in a culture where it is acceptable but the marriage is obviously no longer in that country/culture.

    For those that consider marriage “a thing” these laws are intended to balance the respect of marriage and respect the immaturity of a young mind and body. For those, like me, that recognise there is literally no purpose for marriage, they’re entirely insane laws to go that low.




  • Do usual dev mode shit…

    1. You then have to confirm that you aren’t being coached/guided/instructed by a bad actor to turn off the security measures.

    2. This is followed by a device restart and re-authentication that “cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing.”

    3. A required “Security wait” takes one day to “confirm that this is really you who’s making this change with our biometric authentication (fingerprint or face unlock) or device PIN.” This is a one-time wait.

    4. Afterwards, you can install apps from unverified developers indefinitely, while there’s also a 7-day “Turn on temporarily” option.

    I don’t think the wait is necessary. If someone were to continue being scammed after a reboot, they’d continue to be scamme tomorrow. An additional education piece after the reboot would be more effective.


  • So long as the result is a bazillion comments with as many upvotes as downvotes on each, it’s a good shitpost. Bonus points if it captures those two cliche users that end up frustrating the hell out of each other as they strive to be first in a 20 comment head-to-head marathon that goes absolutely no where. All because some people take it seriously while others take it as a joke; minimal effort by OP.

    This community seems to lean quite a bit toward people taking things seriously, or they simply don’t notice where they are before they unsheath their keyboards.
