Thank fuck.

For now.

Considering there’s only one “he”…

Someone RETURNED HIM AFTER PURCHASE?! TF???

You probably need to make them admins.

That is essentially editing the library item.

I feel like we can see the light at the end of tunnel, finally.

Man, Mymblemother doesn’t really show up much in the books or the shows.

Seems like another character that is way too real to not be based on someone Jansson knew. Has too many kids, puts zero effort into actually raising any of them.

Little My and biting

Little My and chaos

Little My and painful honesty

I could go on.

Which, as the mythbusters once proved, does fly.

Just not very well.

Did you read the article?

The contact lens is just the display, it still requires inductive power and external display source to really do anything. Plenty to “tear apart” and fit into existing equipment.

The lens itself becoming a complete device in its entirety is something I think we are decades, potentially centuries from tech which is that minituarized. Smart rings exist, but they’re still orders of magnitude simpler devices.

If you’re gonna be wearing a computer and battery on your temple anyway, why is sticking the display in your eyeball, the simplest solution here?

What sort of extreme environment would exclude other ways of having a hud?

In you eye is an extreme way to do it, considering divers, pilots, drivers, astronauts etc. already wear or are surrounded by equipment this would be more easily integrated into.

Yesssss!

I’m am so ready, Reikon knows how to cook!

Edit: Oh shit! Co-Op? BARK BARK BARK

I’d like you to realize that “the USA who is the least likely country to implement these laws” is literally the opposite of current reality.

They are making some of the greatest efforts to make legally mandated user and age tracking a thing, as well as legally mandated user identity based content-gating.

…

So this is not a concern to you?

The fact that there are people in leadership positions that want this, and have reasons why they want this, is below note. And not worth opposing?

This will lead to infrastructure, that should not exist, existing.

That it can be avoided is not a solution. It should not be built in the first place.

Is your argument really “this won’t affect linux, so it doesn’t matter” ? At the very least, FOSS development by anyone in California will be a problem, as the law quite literally names “persons” as potentially liable.

The reality remains, the US is the most thirsty for this kind of thing. Not the least.

And they are already working on an even more overreaching version that will close loopholes in the current legalese.

Windows, and any other OS will be illegal in California unless it implements this.

Apple, for one, is headquartered in California.

So, the OS wont work until the user verifies their age somehow.

Moreover, even if an OS somehow could know the users age - that doesn’t automatically mean all other software that exists automatically reads it and responds to it as necessary. Does the law compel anyone making software to recognise this?

Did you not read my comment? Anyone writing software for an OS that implements this, can be sued (in California) if their application ignores the API signals from the OS and allows access to age-restricted content.

You may want to look into what the legal requirements actually are, and how it changes who is liable. It is outright draconian.

Essentially, it requires the OS to find out the age of the user, and then inform ALL software that is run by API. Any software that theoretically could use the data, and still allows a child to see something they should not have, will be liable.

You claimed that the US was the least likely to do this sort of thing…

Instead, despite the incompetence, they are clearly spearheading this globally along with the UK. Making it most decidedly the first place that will have to deal with this crap.

Not the last.

Not even two weeks later, California is making OS level age verification a thing.

Really, really well made mashed potates is heavenly.

Combine with the grease from some meat you’re serving it with… Yum.

That is a massive chip.

Intel finally has an answer to threadripper?

Neat!
