Well, that does it. You are tossed out of the Democrat Party. Repeat after me:

There is a secret cabal of Jeff Bezos/Elon Musk/Donald Trump clones that conspire to hold you down.

Got an alternate link that doesn't divert me to ads for cheap watches and flea-bag condo units?

You can't really expect rich people to sell into a market that isn't buying.

This. Constructive thinking is like searching a problem space using good heuristics. To quickly recognize and reject the blind paths and pursue the productive ones. Practice is what produces and re-enforces these heuristics.

You've got to do repeated design, build, test loops to get good. Problem with AI to date: It's up to you to "spot the hallucinations". So that learning loop is split between the AI and the developer. Nobody "gets good".

Funny. I thought they all ended in BSOD.

Browsers can be installed by a user. Nothing stopping your kid from downloading his own copy and configuring it as he sees fit. Put that function in the kernel and it's more difficult (but not impossible) to circumvent.

That by itself is no mean feat of engineering.

If the cartridge detects that the user has more than three teeth, it refuses to work.

There's an object lesson here for all the people who have been pushing for the mommy government. Sometimes you get an assole, abusive trailer park mommy.

First, as someone else stated, a DSP is generally a business. Not an individual. That said, I do know some people who have incorporated themselves just to get around the whole "We deal with businesses, not individuals" rules.

But then, it comes down to what contract terms Amazon offers DSPs. Certainly, nobody in their right mind* is going to partner with Amazon for a price that won't cover their expenses. Rural areas with high fuel costs per delivery will bid more for their service. Or not sign up. Amazon, if they are not dumb as rocks, will add this variable cost to the bottom line of each purchase. After all, they are not the USPS with universal service written into law.

*Uber/Lyft will make a liar out of me. There are people living on the edge of poverty for the opportunity to buy a car, insurance, fuel and maintenance just to chauffeur some zoomers around.

Didn't we just have a No Kings day?

Caveat: I haven't examined systemd's aproach to the "age field", so this may not be easy or possible. But one approach would be to build an "age" record structure. Where one can enter an appropriate value, tied to their system user id. Then ship that off to a certified verification authority together with photo id. The authority cryptographically signs the record and returns it to the user. Who may then pass it on to any "adult-only" sites that request it.

If this could be done, it puts systemd out of the age verification business. Since that record could be stored in any one of a number of place in the file system. Of course any one of these approaches could be defeated by a skilled coder who can root around file systems and find Dad's OnlyFans certificate. Then it's blackmail. You leave me alone or I'll tell Mom.

Then they can fork off their own version of GNU/Linux. China has done so. And I'd venture a guess that these are all Chinese regulatory compliant.
