Yeah there's a lot of ambiguity in the law, they try to define it but they use "what a reasonable person would believe" a bunch, which leaves a LOT of room for interpretation. If a bigot is in power, none of it is unreasonable to him.

I'm not sure how i would fix it though, theyre trying to address a serious flaw in the modern world, Because intentional or not some of these personalities inspire actions that get people hurt or killed.. its a bit of a double edged sword

And not very good at it, if twitter and Tesla are any indication. Both products quality take a nosedive any time he involves himself

Does this have any relation to his whole thing about "kicking the illegals out" of florida?

Most of these cops "retire" to end the internal investigation and keep their benefits, then decide to "unretire", and get hired in the next town with a clean record.

This is honestly the only real problem imo. I get sometimes it's a pretty obvious case, but we do still have due process and they deserve their time in court, no matter how shit they are.

If they couldn't investigate themselves and the investigations didn't just end when they quit, we'd be in a much better place.

Any time I look at Facebook or X(formerly twitter), I see two sides of the same shit-smeared coin.

On Facebook, feels like a majority of the random comments I see are all scum of the earth, racist, sexist, fascist etc. Every post about a new marvel movie is filled with comments about how the movie is going to be ahit because of "forced diversity" and "wokeness" - any political post is all about how dems should die, or aoc needs to be murdered, etc. And it's never just a few people, its dozens, with hundreds of likes and supporting comments.

On the other site, it's mostly blue-haired "bleeding heart liberals" who are so liberal they've come full circle back to fascism. Trying to restrict people's rights because they have some shitty ideas, or completely ruining people's careers over a rumor.

Before social media, you would be forced into public places to have these conversations, and you'd be forced to interact and learn what people who don't agree with you have to say and think, and that broadened your worldview. Now facebook and xitter just feed you into an algorithm and spit you out in a bubble with other people with the same ideas, because you'll all agree and converse and engage more, because there's positive reinforcement there, and from that point its a feedback loop slowly making you more liberal or conservative, when typically most people would fall pretty close to center, give or take some hot button issues like guns and babies.

That's an interesting thought when you considers that these psychos only think this way because of what the lawmakers across the isle are telling them + fox news

One of the biggest things stopping me is that my partner loves to play fortnite so i play it with them a lot, is there anything to allow you to play EAC games? Iirc epic said they don't want to account for security across every Linux distro

Do you really want an adversary that can potentionally disable a large portion of your populations computers in one fell swoop?

Just saw a Netflix movie about this a month or so back. Obviously the writing was a little embellished, but it was fucking terrifying to imagine something like that happening on a real scale.

There is a chance that it has something to do with the Xbox app, maybe

Jesus fucking christ, I missed that part.

Classy America lol

Advertising in general is a way for a person to show people they have a product worth buying, so the producer is able to make a living on it.

This argument isn't even about consumer protections anymore, it's just anti-business. I'd be completely with you if there were only giant FAANGS corps in gaming, but there are also small developers trying to make a living.

Also, the same example I've been using, I just now opened league, the homepage is defaulted to the latest patch overview. If you hit the play button you go straight to the lobby and from there into a match, all without seeing an advertisement. You're making broad generalizations that only accurately describe some of the worst store models, and you're generally acting like it's a horrible thing for a business to pursue profits

Would love to if my favorite games weren't all EAC locked on linux
