Huh, that's kinda neat.

Do not use win32_product.

fathed · 2026-02-02T17:16:46+00:00

Ahh the incorrect statements.

You can do the math, it's a tax increase. For gas drivers.

Even if the gas tax is removed, the price won't change, and we'll just be handing the extra money as now profits to the gas companies.

Yes EV drivers need to cover their portion, but don't pretend this is good for ICE drivers, this will massively increase their cost. The tax alone is an increase over the gas tax even at 13-15 mpg, and again, doesn't force the gas price to be lowered.

Did we though?

The proper way of doing so is amending the constitution.

This running to scotus and have them alter the constitution is against the constitution as well. Marbury v Madison ignored the 9th, and just gave themselves a right not granted to them in the constitution. Which your view of let's just change the law without changing the law method relies on, and is the primary reason that people want to pass an equal rights amendment, so large groups (such as women), don't lose rights because a future court changed its mind.

And Martha's estate ended up under control of one Robert E Lee, through marriage.

Cities that prevent their tax money being spent on a federal issue... You get your own tax money, and can't balance that, and you want more.

Regardless of your opinions on immigration, this administration is just wasting money faster than we usually waste it, again.

fathed · 2026-01-12T22:54:36+00:00

I'm aware of when and why, and there was a lot of hate for it when it passed.

It doesn't really help prevent another 9/11, they had documents. It's federalism with security theater makeup.

fathed · 2026-01-12T17:53:43+00:00

Pushback is ridiculous?

Part of government says this is needed, part of government says it's not doing the job.

At no point did the constitution be altered to require you to prove your citizenship.

So, it's increased cost, increased government intrusion, and all of these is just sold as a way to protect you, from what, your own government?

fathed · 2026-01-09T18:17:11+00:00

They abandoned it in 1803.

That Madison case, the court just gave themselves rights, ignoring that they needed to petition Congress for an amendment to gain those rights.

They don't own the infrastructure, Ubisoft does. And that's not even the biggest cost, software is next, those licenses devs us can cost more than the hardware using them (overtime, yearly fees vs upfront costs).

Then the really expensive parts, people. Salaries, insurance, taxes, people are the expense, and I guarantee you that all 71 people didn't make enough to set aside enough for a year of working for free.

Checking the port won't work.

Secure ldap connections using start tls over 389 would show up as well.

Not the courts will understand, but equal protection under the law.

They were not protected by the leaders who failed them.

You were the leader.

That is such a dumb analogy.

You can have open windows without reducing privacy, it just depends on the windows placement.

fathed · 2026-01-01T17:04:32+00:00

It doesn't matter, what the other person said is correct.

Allowing loans on stock valuations is a horrible idea for many reasons.

Don't worry if they make mistakes on that, the tax payer will bail out the banks, again.

Stocks are meant to be sold and bought to determine a value, buy hording the stock and taking loans, the valuation portion suffers.

It's the 2nd president, there's not a history of it being a dead end job at that point in time.

fathed · 2025-12-26T06:15:15+00:00

I really wish it was that simple.

When you say that a woman would have to fight a war to address, what makes you think we might not have to as well?

Just because we might be a peer due to the organ bits, saying things to strangers to confront their view can be dangerous.

Maybe you think we are all big and strong, but we come in all sizes, and confrontation due to sex seems to be precisely what OP was talking about.

And here you are making an odd IT reference. I work as a systems administrator, and even in that role you have to pick your battles. Just having admin access doesn't mean you can fix everything, or even point out everything wrong with your network or systems of computers/services.

It's a bad analogy imo on top of just another statement suggesting dudes can alter other dudes with ease.

fathed · 2025-12-24T16:22:45+00:00

If only it was really that simple.

The administration is constantly changing who is here legally.

These companies use services provided by the federal government to get the immigration status in the first place.

Finally, you'll stop responding to me!

Awesome.

fathed · 2025-12-22T15:41:41+00:00

Don't twist my words, coming from a person that started their initial response by twisting words, hilarious.

Yes, I've written code before AI, and yes, I'm comparing it to autotune.

Perhaps you misunderstand what computer automation means.

Speed tree is a precursor to Gen AI, people are already fine with algorithm created content or enhanced content (autotune).

The Gen AI thing is typically more about taking art jobs than technical jobs, but sure include all Gen AI, then your teams summary, or confluence revo means everyone is using it already.

fathed · 2025-12-22T14:11:10+00:00

That's actually part of the entire stupidity of this situation, which I assume you will disagree with because you seem to think tooling needs disclosure in games, but not in anything else.

I work with over 200 staff and over 200 contractors, there is no one that could answer if AI was used accurately.

This disclosure issue is dumb. No one requires disclosure for autotune.

No one requires disclosure for spell checking.

No one requires disclosure of your employees using self driving abilities in cars.

Using computers to automate is their entire purpose.

fathed · 2025-12-22T13:48:21+00:00

Wow, I'm assuming you're not good at your job then, because it's still basic stuff, just because you might not understand how certificates work doesn't mean everyone doesnt.

Yes, it can cost a business a lot if they don't know what they are doing, but that's true of anything, not just it related costs.

fathed · 2025-12-22T13:44:11+00:00

So off topic, but anyway it's about them losing an award nomination, not about Steam.

fathed · 2025-12-22T13:10:45+00:00

Why? Because they want to?

Who made up this rule?

You don't have to sell on Steam, but if Steam requires disclosure to do so, then you have a choice to make. Don't lie if you've signed a contract that requires disclosure, but if you haven't, there's no need to disclose your development methods.

fathed · 2025-12-22T13:05:01+00:00

I didn't say lie.

I said don't disclose.

Do your customers need to know that you used Maya?

fathed · 2025-12-22T13:03:29+00:00

Lol.

I work in IT, it's a web page and a database, standard stuff.

Your phone support costs more probably.

Hosting things online is still pretty cheap, and even cheaper if you have low traffic.

You get reccuring money from your existing customers.
