That kept Ted Cruz out of the White House in 2016.
Don’t forget about forgettable no-rizz Jeb! Bush
…please clap

My experience working support for a phone manufacturer has informed me that once an average user installs an app it tends to stay installed indefinitely, but they may or may not be aware it’s even installed. A gentle nudge notification of “hey look at me” every once in a while might very well be amazing for engagement
If you think preventing predatory practices through legislation is a “nanny state” then I think you fail to understand the purpose of a government in a society with profit-driven companies
I was blanking pretty hard when I wrote that and meant to write RDP while thinking of TeamViewer. Need to post stuff less late at night
I mean, in the US before the reversal of the Chevron doctorine, the easy solution would be to pass legislation banning “dark patterns” then assign a regulatory agency to design guidance and enforce the law
Gambling is heavily regulated in most countries, often including requiring the odds of winning being clearly listed and regulating the profit margin that The House can take (usually limited to less than 10%)
Many casinos and developers of addictive games will hire psychologists and other experts on human condition to help them find ways to make the game more addictive and make it easier to seperate players from their money. These “dark patterns” both make gaming worse and make it more dangerous for anyone unfortunate enough to develop an addiction.
In short, I welcome regulation on the worst aspects of the game industry to keep the worst aspects from become too financially successful to not implement (see the $60 AA and AAA games that launched with lootboxes and predatory micro-transactions like this one about 10 years ago before some countries announced they were investigating regulating such practices)
I’d also argue the ‘GAMES MUST BE ULTRA AT 4K144 OR DONT BOTHER’ take is wrong.
Some of the best games I’ve played have graphics that’ll run on a midrange GPU from a decade ago, if not just integrated graphics
Case in point, this is what I’m playing right now:
Sounds like he’s remoting into the computer in the office from another computer at home (pretty common in IT since you probably have admin tools perfectly configured on that computer and specifically configured for its network config) but with Windows Remote Access it lets the person physically at the computer see everything by default. But i would really hope that someone in IT would be painfully aware of why you shouldn’t do sensitive personal browsing on a work computer or a work network
Usually with automated systems hitting whatever option gets you to a human no matter how wrong it is will get you to the right place eventually
I worked in a callcenter for 4 years. I have zero fear of work calls, but I still avoid calls to a rediculous extent in my personal life
Probably a check. If this was a while ago or a smaller landlord that just doesn’t have a fancypants website with a payment portal they probably have to drop a check off at their office each month. I had to do that in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty one before I got my house
Edit to add: the lowish rent definitely supports either reason too. Small towns most businesses have no web presence beyond a Facebook page or maybe some static html made by the local computer place 5-15 years ago that they haven’t updated since then because they aren’t seeing the value in spending money to update it. It really is like going back in time technologically a good 15 years living in a small town
Sometimes I feel bad for scammers because I know how long it takes just to freaking reset a password on legitimate support calls at work (and usually that’s someone who’s put in a vague ticket saying “software isn’t working” so I emailed them a “I’m not a psychic” email with a link to schedule a call which requires one to schedule on the next business day just to finally talk on the phone and identify what they couldn’t write out in their ticket 2 days ago) but then I remember that they’re fucking scammers and often fully aware of what they’re doing
It sounds like in the above case the codes were real 2fa codes from his bank as the scammers were resetting their login credentials then adding an external account to initiate a transfer. Presumably they were simply reusing info from a breach to make the scam smoother
Lots of non-citizens work in all of the factories that produce everything Americans consume too, including of course food production facilitiesm so house right it would probably be a literal death spiral
My wife had a forgotten bill get sent to small claims instead of actually contacting her. As soon as it hit the small claims court system she got inundated with ads from law firms offering to represent her
They say it doesn’t but my real world experience is that you have to re-register every year or three. But it definitely makes a difference in the legal spam callers at least
By my memory of what I read headscale is a reverse engineered backend using the official tailscale client, so more opportunities for breakage or the weird issues that come from a reverse engineered server with a stock closed source client. I also could be horribly misinformed and/or misremembering
Well he did say it wasn’t a good website. You really think they’re just going to take the criticism?
Yeah there were some people who were so certain he would sweep the floor of that crowded primary, but then he was just so rizzless. He didn’t even seem to want to be there
