Sorry bud, the landlord took those already.

Better to catch them with a robot kid than with real ones.

Magnetic whiteboard

Normally I’d say no, because more of the square is of a not-master’s leg. But in this case, that will only be true for another week or two.

Clean it? What fun is a love potion without a little toad hex mixed in?

Yeah, we measure our soda in liters all the time, but only the 2 litre bottles. Other sizes are in ounces, and milk is in gallons and sometimes pints.

I wouldn’t call it a get out of jail, but it is evidence for a jury to look at it.

I would much rather read news stories about police stopping these things, but here we are.

I agree, in principle vigilantism isn’t good for society. It opens the door for, let’s say heavily misguided, people to carry out whatever justice they want. Yes, it is also dangerous for the individuals with good intentions.

However, if the “proper” system does nothing, who will?

In the case of Roblox, I’m going to compare this to a public park;

In this park some adults set up a free candy van for kids. The park rangers/owners (moderators) see this, and choose to ignore it. Some other people at the park report their concerns to the rangers, yet a week later they find 3 more vans have shown up.

Finally, one person steps up and calls the police directly. The police can do nothing with the information, as there’s “no evidence”. Desperate to stop them, the person disguises them self as a child (don’t ask) to get the evidence. Police show up and apprehend the perpetrators.

The rangers are now angry that the person called the cops to their park, and bans that person from the park for “pretending to be a kid”.

If Roblox is unwilling to participate in the justice system set by society, they have no place in it.

As for schelps making YT videos, I say keep doing it. Not only does is help spread awareness to issues like this, it documents the “vigilante” actions. Society can decide from there what to do with that information.

They wanted to silence him because he was slowly brining attention to the problems. Luckily, that backfired on them, and the message got to everyone.

I hope whatever executive in charge of the “moderation department” and everyone else up the chain is arrested for this shit either. Nothing will ever change if people can hide behind a business name and face zero consequences.

It has a proper dark mode now. Also there’s different icon themes, I like the Breezy theme. Makes it look early 2010s

I suppose, but reading the article, it seems this was related to a windows defender update. In other words the anti-virus became malware, again.

Wow, I only know 8355 numbers. That’s very impressive.

No problem. I’m not happy with the current state of things either, but crossing one thing off the list, even if its lower priority to us, is still good for someone.

I find it interesting that some of the other comments go on picking apart my thing, that basically boil down to military = bad, so right to repair = bad and its not a problem because they are already wasting money. Be glad something good is moving forward.

Consumer rights have been increasingly stomped on by the mega corporations for years now, and they continuasly push the boundries. The very concept of a terms of service “contract” that can be changed anytime by 1 party (and heavily in their favor) is insane. The more control we get back the better.

This is important. Rossman did an interview with a few military techs, and here are few highlights

• they couldn’t get the router password (that they own) for troubleshooting. Imagine your ISP locked you out of the router?
• it cost 200k to ship a 100k part because they weren’t allowed to fix the broken one. 300k - thats a decent sized home in some areas, just to replace a wire or something. (Look up military pricing too, I remeber seeing something about how the military pays $400 for $4 bag of fuses)
• they have to fly manufacture service techs that don’t get schematics, if they need them, an engineer is flown out who closely guards them.

Its a complete waste of taxpayer money. Money that could be redirected into more important stuff, but alas our corrupt politicians will find other things to waste it on.

We’re allowed to fix our own cars (although manufactures are trying to stop that), why can’t the military fix their own equipment or farmers fix tractors? Get a foothold in the military sector and the rest will follow.

Unfortunately yes, there are technical reasons I don’t fully understand. I think has to do with how it’s locked down, and that it can be relocked after graphine is installed.

Graphine takes security seriously, so leaving the boot loader unlocked is not acceptable to them.

Although, that may change with google removing pixel specific code from the android source.

I’d like my phone to last 5 years minimum.

That seems to be the new standard for continued software support too. If the phone only lasts for half of that, what’s the point?

Replacing the battery on a 9a is a invasive 64-step process(ifixit guide). The kit they sell is surprisingly cheap at $40, but has a list of other tools you need. Its definitely not a project most people will undertake.

No, that sounds silly. It must be PNG. You really should enunciate the PNG.

Is it pronounced png or png?
