Let's also not forget the fact that a pair of swim trunks costs less than fueling a typical vehicle, much less purchase and maintain it over the course of its lifetime.
Most people can afford to have a pair of swim trunks they wear only once or twice a year. Not so much with vehicles.
Les "marchands de sommeil" sont des propriétaires qui louent des logements insalubres ou surpeuplés à des personnes en difficulté sociale. Ces pratiques ont été observées dans plusieurs villes françaises, où des propriétaires ont été condamnés pour avoir logé des locataires dans des conditions indignes

RealPage Inc., a real estate software company, had facilitated collusion among major landlords to fix rents. Their software allowed landlords to share confidential information, resulting in an artificial increase in rents across several states.
Des fonds d’investissement et de grandes sociétés immobilières achètent des immeubles entiers et augmentent les loyers rapidement, souvent au détriment des locataires à faibles revenus.

I saw this yesterday mid-day, had no idea why this blast from the blast (my childhood!) was making the rounds. Then I saw the many stories about Hulk Hogan ("take your vitamins, rah rah Trump") passing. Giant sentiments, here.
I registered as an adult on an online service by using the photo mode in a video game, to take a picture of a character, then used that picture on the webcam to say I'm over 18 ✅
This works via the services which let you verify your face via your phone btw, just put the game into photo mode and then move the character or camera around as requested.
The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.
given the recent hack of tens of thousands of IDs from Tea, I wonder how many different entities requiring age verification are going to get similarly popped in the future. Bypassing seems like a legitimate personal security measure.
Tell me you didn't go to a single school or whatever that tries to do website blocking and see what happens without telling me you didn't go to a single school..........
That's how they do it? That's so damn stupid. We need to see if it works with one of those filters that puts a beard on someone with a picture of a baby.
"Oh man, we gotta register this one, he's got the Death Stranding!"
(... I assume that's some contagious thing; never played the game and even i I had played it I haven't had the mental capacity to follow Hideo Kojima writing since 9/11 happened. 😉 ).
The most ridiculous part is, the free parental controls included in Windows and macOS (and available freely for most child-friendly Linux distros) already recognize <meta name="rating" content="adult"/>, which is already included in every site even attempting to comply with "age verification" laws. If parents aren't negligent in their administration of computing devices they provide to children, then age verification laws make no difference whatsoever to children's ability to access porn.
But of course, porn is just the excuse. The only thing these laws actually hinder children accessing is accurate sex ed and the like.

Many variations on this. An actual stage of 'mourning' is not innocence, but "denial", and then bargaining ("dealing")... etc. In this paradigm ( #TrumpVirus and his #cult ) I am mourning too - the loss of sanity ("reality testing") among a huge group.

"It is a shame for history that Arabs watch [from the sidelines] the suffering of the people of Palestine and the people of Gaza," he said, calling for immediate and collective Arab action. "It is shameful for any Arab to watch. We must all rally around the Resistance."
His words were accompanied by a clear call to the Arab street, urging people across the region to unite in conscious and determined mobilization.
In his message to the Arab world, Abdallah underscored the need for unified popular action: "When the Arab street moves, we will witness a resistance uprising."
He expressed frustration with current levels of public engagement, stating that "the Arab people are not rising up sufficiently" and must "gather in the streets to act." english.almayadeen.net/news/po…

4-Day work week, 32 hours/week, no reduction in pay caused no loss in productivity for businesses. Indeed, companies' profits increased 1.4%. In other words, they CAN pay us more, while letting put in fewer hours, and still make a huge profit.
How?
They cut out the useless, time-wasting shit like boring meetings and busy work. But it also gave workers more free time to be with friends and family, pursue hobbies, rest, recover from the pressures of work. And the work, itself, felt less stressful. There was less burn-out. Workers took fewer sick and personal days. Resignations dropped in half.
The results of a test involving dozens of employers and thousands of employees suggests that working only four days instead of five is good for workers’ well-being—without hurting companies
The video features a group of musicians performing in an elegantly decorated room with ornate wall designs and chandeliers, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The musicians, dressed in formal attire, are seated in a semi-circle, each playing a different instrument, including a large brass tuba, a stringed instrument, and a clarinet. The central figure, dressed in a dark suit, is seated at a wooden table, playing a traditional instrument. The musicians are deeply engaged in their performance, with some raising their hands to emphasize their playing. The camera then zooms in on a musician playing a clarinet, focusing on the intricate finger movements and the metallic keys of the instrument. The close-up shots highlight the musician's hands and the clarinet, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship and the musician's skill. The video emphasizes the precision and artistry involved in playing the clarinet, with the musician's fingers moving swiftly and precisely over the keys. The background remains softly blurred, ensuring the viewer's attention is on the musician's hands and the clarinet. The video concludes with a continued focus on the musician's hands and the clarinet, underscoring the dedication and expertise required to play the instrument.

The Trump administration fired three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission as part of its effort to run everything without opposition.
For now, it’s American companies themselves that are absorbing the impact — from General Motors to Nike, all the way down to the local mechanic. In a competitive market, raising prices means risking the loss of customers. As a result, many companies choose to take the hit, even if it means shrinking their profit margins.
However, some are considering price increases in the coming months, the American daily adds, especially if the tariffs become permanent.
While the United States collected an additional US$55 billion in tariffs this year, it is not consumers or foreign countries who are bearing the brunt of the impact, but rather American companies, according to the Wall Street Journal.

@cjd I just want to create a simple site where people can upload their indie games and mods. Last time I tried to do that, I gave up on it after implementing comments because you are supposed to have two tables: comment and comment_link (at least this is standard practice). It just became to tedious.
Don't let relational database best practice nerds tell you how to live your life. Just make a schema that's going to be easy to populate and easy to query. If you find yourself needing to do something weird, you can make an index later.
@vokainen099 @cjd Also, I wanted people to be able to upload an unfixed amount of screenshots for each game/mod. It got way to complex and I underestimated myself.
The closest thing we have to that is Moddb, although they're largely stuck in the 2000s UI-wise, but I will forgive them since they've been alive for so long they're almost an institution
Do not push yourself too hard, mister. Priority here is a solution to the payment processor issue. Websites can wait
@vokainen099 @cjd The solution to the payment processor issue is a crypto-only store front (though crypto payments would have to be added later). Don't put too much faith in MasterCard reversing their decision or the government stepping in.
As it turns out, the latest version of MySQL has support for JSON, bringing the best of both relational databases and document-oriented databases, and I can run this all on a simple LAMP server. That's good to know.
