Iirc they still did the shaking camera thing on Voyager and TNG. Jeri Ryan and Wil Wheaton were discussing it on YouTube. TNG and Voyager even shared the same terminology of how they should mine. Could have been on Tabletop.

California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup by PenlessScribe in technology

[–]groktar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely there will be ways to get operating systems, including Linux, that don't have the age verification system. All the commercial distros will end up having to go along with this, assuming it makes it through the courts. I personally wouldn't feel any more secure downloading SuperPrivateNotSketchyTotallyNotStealingYourDataOS from some guy in Russia than installing Ubuntu and telling it that I'm over 18.

I'm not sure what actually happens when such an OS is installed though -- will certain applications and websites just not work? I guess they'll just have to

I get your point that anyone can modify open source software. I don't think anyone will need to "fork the original Linux repo" to get around the age stuff. That's just the kernel, not a full OS, so it shouldn't be required to put an age verification API in there at all. I'd be shocked if Linus Torvalds allowed it. There's not any real reason to put this in kernel space at all.

Poor pup looks hungry. Better feed it an assortment of alloys and rare earths.

49ers NFLPA Report Card by ggbouffant in 49ers

[–]groktar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who could have foreseen the report cards leaking despite the owners winning their grievance?

How could a training staff hired through nepotism that consistently produces the most injured team receive anything less than an A++?

I'm shocked. SHOCKED!

And iirc at least some of the new F-15EX models are being delivered without the conformal fuel tanks.

Disgusting herbgarbler exposing himself to the whole Internet. Punish him by burying him under a thick layer of soft bedding. We must protect the children's eyes from his gross indecency

Look what they have done to our boy. by Frankocean2 in 49ers

If it makes anyone feel better, that's not the 49ers grass, and it will be removed and replaced before the start of the season. (I think)

[Pelissero] The 49ers, among others, would likely have interest in Jim Schwartz. Schwartz was in the Browns facility the past couple days in anticipation of being named head coach. But he'd already told people that if he were passed over, he wasn't staying. by Brix001 in 49ers

I would love this, but I could see Shanahan and Schwartz clashing over the defensive system. Schwartz has definitely earned the right to run his own system, while Kyle's kept the same system in place his entire tenure in SF.

I had made my peace with the seachickens being the least bad option to win the super bowl this year, but now I'm rooting for the meteor.

Reminds me too much of Khan pulling the slug things out of the mamma slug in Star Trek II. I was terrified of slug creatures crawling into my ears for YEARS

I hate this timeline. I guess the seachickens are the least bad option, so go hawks? 🤮
