Another Canadian dunce who's drank the warm cup of PP ...

That has not been my experience, at all. I'm entirely against the concept of what they're doing (giving me a reason not to visit the websites that ultimately pay for the production and publication of information) but the AI summaries and links to related articles tend to be spot on what I'm looking for. Perhaps you can give me a (non-contrived) search to try that demonstrates your claim?

Texas and Florida prohibit local governments from mandating rest and water breaks.

The issue with health concerns like this is that it's not like it explodes and kills you - there's really no way to say, "It was the molecule on March 13, 2026 that started cancer in your body"

You can't even do that with cigarettes - you can only make a conclusion on cause that's well supported by circumstantial evidence.

And I'm not saying you're arguing against it, but just broadly speaking ... arguing *against* more information - unless the argument is that the information itself is inaccurate - seems particularly anti free-market to me. (Obviously that's why companies fight against the burden of regulation designed to increase market transparencies.)

I imagine that the first question after installing Linux would be "Now how do I sync albums that I bought on the band's Bandcamp page onto my iPhone?" As far as I'm aware:

- iTunes for Windows uses the Apple Mobile Device Service driver to sync over a USB cable, and drivers don't run in Wine.
- libimobiledevice on Linux can write files to an iPhone but not the music database that the included Music app uses.
- Though the VLC app can play music from files, nothing but the included Music app can make playlists containing both purchased music and rented music from the roommate's Apple Music family plan. Not all bands are with a label that's on Apple Music.

I left Windows on her laptop and turned off S Mode.

Many new computers with Windows 11, such as a Lenovo IdeaPad that my roommate received as a birthday gift, come set to "S Mode" and will not run applications from outside the Store. There is a way to disable S Mode permanently on a particular PC. This shows a sequence of alert boxes whose wording may be scary to particularly nontechnical users such as my roommate.

In my part of the United States, both Kroger and Dollar Tree impose a surcharge for cash back on a debit transaction. Walmart still does not.

The irony of your sarcasm is it actually *is* horrible.

Water is good - necessary even - but too much water will kill you. Choice is the exact same way - it's entirely possible to have too much of it, as much as that contradicts an ethos buried deeply in the American id.

Lol, so many of the posts here reek of bitter developers who have clearly never worked in the halls of quality software engineering

The claim was that trade deficits were the closest thing to an emergency that the President could find as a justification. I explained that the fentanyl use epidemic was the other justification, which some people might have an easier time accepting as an emergency.

As I understand the executive order abolishing de minimis entry, the tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China aren't based on trade deficit as much as on these countries' failure to cooperate in preventing fentanyl and fentanyl precursors from getting smuggled into the USA.

There is danger to the user's bank accounts from running an app that was made for the primary purpose of enabling financial scams, social-engineering the user into draining their life savings. The previous featured article states that the initial set of countries where Google plans to put this policy change into effect (Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand) are hotbeds of scamware distributed through unknown sources.

Correct: AHRA's carveout extends only to noncommercial use. However, I still find it useful to distinguish a statutory "carveout" from a (theoretically negotiated) "license", even when there's something in between the two called a "compulsory license".

In case anyone's confused:

The quotation was from the lyrics of the song "I Want Your Sex" from George Michael's 1987 solo debut Faith . That song's lyrics are from the point of view of the male in a heterosexual monogamous couple: "I can't take much more, girl / I'm losing control" (my emphasis). Michael's turn toward specifically gay lyrics would come several years later, starting around 1998.

Again, that depends on the country. Slashdot's home country (the USA) has the Audio Home Recording Act, which creates a carveout for private copying of sound recordings.

Still no remote revocation.
