Important rights of businesses in the US constitution include

Important note regarding a business's right to regulate free speech:
The rules of the Constitution are meant to regulate Congress, not businesses or citizens. Therefore, the right to free speech means Congress cannot restrict someone from speaking his or her mind, but a business may be able to.

For example, a radio show has the right to not allow a certain person to speak on its program or to say certain things. Ultimately, such issues are decided by the Supreme Court, and there may be some exceptions, depending on the circumstances.

The weird part is, when you actually talk to a Conservative irl, they don't care about EVs. Sure they might not like them—they might even think they're a Political scheme or whatever. But they at least understand that there are more important things happening. Politicians failure to represent their user base's viewpoint in the US is always astounding.

Our library in the last place we lived (Midwest of the US) let you take pans from their large collection of cake pans. It was actually really useful.

Recently built a new PC and clean installed Nobara Linux. It's so much... Better. In every way, except for compatibility—and even that's not close to as bad as people say it is. Granted, I had used mostly open source programs before (still quite disappointed that Playnite isn't available on Linux, I do miss that) but I'm using mostly the same software. The pre-done compatibility fixes etc. that the Nobara team has done (huge props to them!) has made it far easier than i even expected. It really is getting to the point that I want a major laptop/PC manufacturer to ship with a polished, user friendly Linux distro, and get the ball rolling.

I forgot about Chromebooks—granted, I don't really think of those as what I mean. I don't generally think that "user friendly = restricted and less control", though I'm sure others would disagree. I don't think of Chromebooks as real mainstream Linux.

Oh, and the steam deck has done this I believe, though I don't own one so I don't know how restricted that is either.

It’s insane that Americans still tolerate this.

A consistent viewpoint I see on America, is the assumption that if we don't like a politician we can simply say so and they're out of office. One of the biggest problems here is actually that most people feel lacking in their personal control on the government, even local. Everything is such a large scale, that 'speaking up' not only feels like it does nothing—it really does nothing, unless you're famous or something. No one here is happy about how our government works, we just don't have control over it. It's an illusion of control, while the people at the top make the actual choices.

Really cool article—though I really wish more articles like this included sources. Not that I necessarily don't believe it or something, but things like this have scientific papers backing them up, and it makes me uncomfortable when they aren't included

Personally, I don't think a service is in the wrong for trying to protect against ad block, especially when their revenue comes from ads. However I also don't think there's anything wrong with adblockers continuing to innovate to circumvent that. I'm rooting for Ublock Origin lol

    The spotlight-like search from Windows Power toys is far better, they should just make it the default

    There are lots of reasons it could be, or could not be this. It could be related but not directly, like a lack of sunlight. That could be as a result of screen time instead of sunlight, but that's not necessarily screen time's fault—anything could keep you from going outside. The evidence that screens in particular are causing these problems is lacking. Same with social media, though I'd be more open to believing that.

    Can I get an explanation on what exactly passkeys are? I already use bitwarden for passwords, is there any good reason to switch to passkeys if that works for me?

    FrostKing ,

    Thanks for the explanation. From the sound of it I'll probably stick with passwords—i like being able to copy them, cause I'm often signing in to an application, not a website, etc.

    My family doesn't get smartphones until age 12. That seems to work well

    FrostKing ,

    It's sweet that you think the average person has an actual effect on the direction our government takes. The only way to get stuff done is mass protest, and we sure as hell aren't getting people to protest deleting Edge when we have much, much bigger problems here atm.

    Wow, Google discontinuing something? Breaking news, unprecedented

    FrostKing ,

    Found in NeMo

    Guys! He found him!

    FrostKing ,

    Can you not simply turn that off on most smart watches?
    Actual question, I haven't owned one in a while

    FrostKing ,

    Can someone please outline the main reasons people are upset with these sites for choosing to do this?

    FrostKing ,

    Makes sense

    FrostKing ,

    I'd like to point out that the majority of people on Lemmy 100% think about this. Hence how many up votes it has :p

    Sorry, I'm out of the loop—what's the new news? The article linked is from 2023. What happened recently?

    FrostKing ,

    Games are looking great this year! Earthblade by the creators of Celeste, Hades 2, Silk song (I Believe)
    If you ignore AAA, it's going great!

    FrostKing ,

    Lol

    FrostKing ,

    Honestly I love that kitchen.

    I'm barely an adult and I do this. I think it's less your age, and more the type of programs you tend to use—ei. programs where you may not want things auto saved, for me game engine, but there's plenty of examples.

    According to Google, there's

    5.34 million miles of arable land on earth

    8 billion population

    8 billion / 5.34 million = 1489 miles per person

    Have I done something wrong? Seems like enough space, no?

    Edit: lol I'm dumb

    The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes (www.businessinsider.com)

    The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes::Biden's AI advisor Ben Buchanan said a method of clearly verifying White House releases is "in the works."

    FrostKing ,

    Can someone try to explain, relatively simply, what cryptographic verification actually entails? I've never really looked into it.

    FrostKing ,

    Thanks a lot, that helped me understand. Seems like a good idea

    FrostKing ,

    What is sudo?

    FrostKing ,

    Ah, I understand, thanks

    The only game I ever considered pre-ordering was Hogwarts legacy. I've always loved the world of Harry Potter, and it looked like everything I've ever asked for. I was going to pre-order it, but I wasn't able to, for financial reasons. Then the game came out, and after watching a video I was like... Oh, this is boring. I learned my lesson.

    FrostKing ,

    What's Narrm Invasion day?

    FrostKing ,

    Agreed. I think (and I'm not sponsored lol) that the only product from YouTube that's actually good is Harry's razors

    FrostKing ,

    Wait, people actually hire people to clean their house?

    I thought that was only in movies. Have you ever heard of just.... Picking up after yourself?

    FrostKing ,

    Yeah, I was being a bit purposefully ignorant that day

    FrostKing ,

    Honestly surprised that I hear this so much. For context, I am not a Republican, so I'm not defending them, but every Republican I've talked to has been anti Russia to the max. They might disagree on the amount of money that we send Ukraine ("Why are we sending billions over there when we can't even figure out our own country" comes up a lot) but I've never heard a single one say anything in the support of Russia. It's so confusing when I hear people say conservatives are pro-Russia... Different ecosystems I guess

    FrostKing ,

    Ah, that would explain it. I have a bad habit of assuming people mean people, and I like ignoring that politicians exist :p

    FrostKing ,

    Can someone tell me what IPO is, and act like I'm not an idiot XD

    FrostKing ,

    Thanks a lot, this is a great explanation! You should be a teacher
