The DMCA is one of the worst things to happen to the internet. But go figure, old people with zero understanding created the law.

Problem is big sites you’re forced to use (banking sites, work HR systems, etc) would’ve made shitty decisions and required it to use their site. It would be like the old “you have to use IE 6” era

You have to subscribe or else it just goes transparent.

My world ends whenever someone doesn’t understand hyperbole

I’d say it’s conditional. At a certain point, it’s on the business themselves. For example, a giant parking lot with one or two cart returns only, in a front corner.

A massive sprawling Walmart parking lot with only one return, and I had to park really far away, and it’s super busy and trying to get the cart to the return requires going through multiple rows? I’m a goodie two shoes who will clean up after others, and tries to improve places… but I’ve got limits with time, effort, and desire to deal with crowds of people in parking lots.

If they have good placement though, then yes, it’s absolutely on the individual.

Joke’s on them, I switched. To Firefox

Lol I love it. That joke is going in my mental collection

Gay Republicans are some of the stupidest people on the planet.

Me and some other gay friends were hanging out one time, and a new guy that was having drinks with us mentioned he was Republican. All of us just stopped and stared.

Turns out he’s a pharmacist that is anti-vaxx, amongst other things. Fucking idiot

I want to hear about how the devil went down to Georgia

Logitech and multiple others are now blocking Firefox, for example.

They solidified the establishment of competing services (kbin, Lemmy). Many of us would’ve never even considered using them otherwise. It may not have hurt them a ton in the short term, but they’ve helped set up their competition.

I had heard of it, but was like “that’s dumb, just use Reddit, there’s no reason not to”

They gave me and many others that reason to reconsider

Oh sure! So “retirement age” means the age at which the general population is eligible for certain benefits like tax-deferred account withdraw without penalty, social security benefits, Medicare, etc. Politicians generally go WAY past this age, well beyond cognitive decline, because they do not want to lose power.

Office age limits are (and should continue to be) unrelated to retirement age; otherwise it creates an incentive for politicians to RAISE the retirement age even further so that they can stay in office. Republicans already try often to increase the retirement age so that people will be stuck working until they die.

It’s actually going down in the US. And again, I said tie the office age limits to life expectancy, not retirement age.

That’s literally the opposite of what I said

Yep precisely! Sorry, I phrased it poorly. But this is exactly what I meant. If politicians are required to resign at retirement age, it creates a perverse incentive for them to RAISE the retirement age - which would be bad.

If it is tied to life expectancy minus ten years, then it is based on data that adjusts automatically, and it’s less about age itself, more about average life expectancy remaining.

I think that would just result in an even bigger push by right-wing politicians to move the retirement age even higher.

Better would be to tie it to the average life expectancy, updated with each census.
