This position of the president's cabinet, so the only requirement is to be appointed by the president. We elected a scummy mafia-adjacent businessman, and he's appointing the other mafia-adjacent scum he owes favors to.

Eli5: your PC has different access levels a program can run at. This prevents a malicious or badly coded program from completely fucking your computer. Kernel level anti cheat runs at the lowest level access that exists under windows. It can do basically whatever it wants to your PC, and if a backdoor is coded in (happens way more than you'd think), it gives malware basically total access to your PC.

Reddit has an absolutely massive wealth of community knowledge. If you want to find a community for $thing or gain obscure knowledge on $thing, that's where you go (assuming there isn't an old forum post from before Reddit killed forums).

Twitter is where a lot of people still are. If you're the kind of person to care what a particular person says, that's where you probably want to be.

Instagram is used by young people who have friends on Instagram.

It isn't a great system, but it is the system that we have today. This is why legislation compelling Meta/Twitter/whothefuckever to act in an ethical manner is important. Social media is to some extent a natural oligopoly, and unless we get extremely, extremely lucky, the fediverse will always be a niche community.

Kroger and Safeway have been the absolute face of enshittification since the pandemic. They've also been accused of price fixing, and are trying to merge into a monopoly. They also regularly abuse disabled employees (at multiple stores in my area).

I have absolutely no doubt that they will do this the moment they think they can get away with it. In a fair economy, they would have been driven out of business years ago.

Hey, birds fly, fish swim, and I spread my cheeks for the state.

To be fair, they may be brain damaged.

People say all kinds of crazy shit after a good head wound. My partner fell off a staircase a few months ago and asked me why I was letting the government put roaches under the bathroom sink.

I don't think this is legal basically anywhere. In the US, this would be brandishing or threatening with a deadly weapon.

That would mean you need to enforce the law for whoever built the model. If the original creator has 100TB of cheese pizza, then they should be the one who gets arrested.

Otherwise you're busting random customers at a pizza shop for possession of the meth the cook smoked before his shift.

Isn't mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.

It likely isn't any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.

Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I'd kill for decent hot hatch that wasn't $40k.

Pretty sure that was illegal at the time...

There isn't much of an alternative. All major manufacturers have been doing this for a while, we are approaching the point where you'll need to buy and maintain a classic car to avoid this type of data collection. Unfortunately, most people simply do not have the time, money, and expertise to do that. Nor should they have to.
