It's important for devices to have internet connectivity so the manufacturer can patch remote exploits.

I don't really dream. It's extremely rare to the point where I'll have a handful in a year and I don't remember them. Waking up with an emotional reaction to an odd dream inspired by life events or entertainment... Then the details slip away from me and I can't even talk to anyone about the experience.

What's it like for you?
Do you enjoy, dislike or analyze your dreams?
Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?

The crazy thing is loads of people stopped pirating and paid for a streaming service that was affordable, worked, met thier needs.

Now it's all splintered with corporations wanting a piece of the pie.

That smirk is throwing me off. Why smirk over the pets?

This is layered. First thought is all the pets are fixed. Second is she finished transitioning.

And she only did it to counter a bold face lie he said about herself.
Not 10 minutes before she stated that she did not ban fracking, will not ban fracking and made the tie breaking vote in favor of fracking.
But he still says "shes going to ban fracking if elected" like dude WTH. Are you paying attention?

  • Ensuring accountability for companies that provide bad service. People shopping for products or services should be able to rely on customer reviews to assess which companies will provide streamlined service and not waste their time. The FTC has proposed a rule that, if finalized as proposed, would stop marketers from using illicit review and endorsement practices such as using fake reviews, suppressing honest negative reviews, and paying for positive reviews, which deceive consumers looking for real feedback on a product or service and undercut honest businesses.

Wait. No more fake reviews? No more supressing honest negative reviews?

I'll believe it when I see it. Let's see how Amazon/Google/Yelp handle this.

Let the lobbying commence!

Y'all laugh but I'm getting into Linux and dusted off an old i7 laptop with 16gb of RAM. Slapped a $40 512GB ssd and linux mint on it to get into !selfhost@lemmy.ml!

...then promptly forgot about the laptop

I've heard of several cases in the USA where they combine unrelated things to mess with voters. Even this one is kinda related but school education plus internet censorship. Split that shit up and let the people vote for what they want.

Edit: it's a rider
