You missed the joke.
You suggested that government-mandated minimum wait times at the DMV solved voting enrollment problems. It the problem can be solved by making a chore suck more, the problem must be that too many people are registering to vote.
Several States just passed laws requiring the legislation to fund the DMV in order to create minimum wait times and as soon as they did that the DMV was fine and there was no complaints anymore about bureaucrats.
Requiring that people would have to wait at least a few hours at the DMV seems like a costly and ineffective way to discourage voting, but if you think it will work, I'm willing to give it a shot.
Hildon? Seriously? I guess maemo-leste technically still exists, and no one can stop you from getting it up and running, but you won't have a good time.
Phosh ain't bad though, and squeakboard is adequate.
Plasma Mobile tries too hard to feel like Android. I heard they're using a new OSK, but I haven't tried it. The old one was inadequate (no tab, ctrl, alt, super, f-keys, arrow keys, etc).
So they can keep doing surveillance, but clandestine.
Solar-powered LPR cameras ain't exactly inconspicuous.
Replacing customer service reps with a chatbot is a great way to get rid of customers.
They silently installed a spell checker at some point.
They've had a spell-check feature since the first release. They added "enhanced" spell-check in v28.
A canvas and drawing API. A native JIT compiler. A WASM VM.
Yeah. Stuff users actually want their browser to be able to do. Again, (other than the WASM VM) stuff that's been there since the first release.
And of course, none of that crap is four gigabytes per user.
You install software X, but without asking you software X silently installs additional software Y that is not necessary for software X to function
And they silently install additional software Y a decade after you installed software X. You installed software X many years before software Y even existed.
I installed a web browser 15 years ago, and now it's doing crazy shit.
My office has horse parking. The law requiring businesses to provide it is still on the books in my state. However, nobody parks their horse there, but some folks chain their bicycles to it. There's no trough.
If they stop the movie halfway through to run ads, I'll burn down the fucking theater.
Including DOB goes above and beyond what the state of California is demanding. They just demand to report that I'm over 18.
That's "Rocksmith +" which is a different product.
They still sell the old RS2014, but it doesn't come with any songs, as they only had licenses to sell songs for 10 years.
They still sell some of the newer DLC. The last DLC (Opeth, fuck yeah!) was released in 2020, so that will likely be available until May 2030. Of course, there is little reason to bother with official DLC for RS2014, as there is a mountain of unofficial goodies over on Customsforge.
Really, the only good thing about Rocksmith+ is that it has a regular guitar tab view as an option.
Good.
Rocksmith 2014 is the only game they've published that didn't suck, and it still stank like Ubisoft. At least it doesn't require uPlay nonsense.
With not voting, you are forfeiting your right to influence the outcome. Therefore, whatever the outcome, you blindly have agreed to it.
I hate that some folks need to have this explained to them.
Silence != consent
It cuts the scalpers out of the transaction. Since Ticketmaster has become a first-party scalper, it simply hands them a monopoly on the practice.
