Companies have a value outside the magic number of their stock ticker price be it patents, products or even just equipment on hand for doing business. Bitcoin has none of that other than a hope and dream that one can sell it to the next sucker before it all tumbles down.

I wasted 20 of them on a pizza and then lost access to the wallet with the rest I had at time. Though it was when they were all but worthless and I probably would have sold them years ago when there was little uptick in their price, I mean they still are worthless but there are suckers who think they won't be the ones holding the bag when it all crashes down.

My guess is that this was an error and a stupid one at that. Likely a few months ago some team was assigned a way to block election controversy on the platform. They did the the bare minimum and just blocked both Biden and Trump questions like this, patted themselves on the back for protecting democracy in this election cycle, and moved onto whatever was in the next sprint.
Which would have been fine and dandy up until a few weeks ago with Biden dropped out, and the team that was assigned this have all moved on so it wasn't on their or anyone elses radar to change the blocks to Harris instead of ol' Joe. Now we are all reading about this nothingburger of a controversy.

They placed the requirement for a PlayStation network account right in the same spot they post about any other 3rd party accounts, DRM or other EULAs tied to the game. Not exactly hidden in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.' Bitching about this is like bitching about violence in a GTA game you bought a kid because you didn't bother to read its age rating.

Would you like to day $40+ for a game, only to live in a region where all of a sudden you're not allowed to create an account you're not forced to otherwise you no longer have access to the content you paid for?
The linking of accounts is a lot more of an issue than just signing up when Sony literally wont allow a huge chunk of players to do so.
Yeah, its "silly"...
Yeah that would suck, but I'm not sure if its a 'huge chunk.' I would be interested in what percentage of Helldivers II players this actually impacts, I am guessing its not nearly as high as those belly aching about it. For what its worth I recall seeing the badge for it requiring a 3rd party account on the store page and linking mine the moment I got in to it. While this wasn't a hard requirement to get into the game at first it wasn't exactly hidden from the player that this could be coming down the road.

A'yup. A good chunk of this comes down to internalized homophobia and being scared that the person they find attractive might have a penis.

Its not dominated in one direction; however one direction does get a lot more media coverage to bash on trans individuals because its no longer politically tenable to bash on homosexuals and they need some one to other-ize as a means to divide.
Submission + - Framework's software and firmware have been a mess. (arstechnica.com)

"Driver bundles remain un-updated for years after their initial release. BIOS updates go through long and confusing beta processes, keeping users from getting feature improvements, bug fixes, and security updates. In its community support forums, Framework employees, including founder and CEO Nirav Patel, have acknowledged these issues and promised fixes but have remained inconsistent and vague about actual timelines."
As a recent Framework 13/AMD owner, I can confirm that it does not sleep properly on a default Windows 11 install. When I close the lid in the evening, the battery is dead the next morning.
It's interesting to hear from Linux Sebastian (LTT) on the topic because he is a stakeholder in Framework.

I think it should be up to the parents to properly police the devices and networks their kids have access to; not require any site to gather personally identifying information of its users.

It's their own damn house. There is no such thing as an Airbnb "unit".
If Airbnb wants to implement the same rules as hotels then they need to be taxed and regulated as such. If they're still claiming these are people's homes being rented out then the homeowner can damn well put up cameras to protect themselves and find out who's destroying their property.
I'm willing to wager the majority of listings on Airbnb or other similar services are no longer, if they ever were, owner occupied units looking to make a little money on the side.
