Congrats going meat-free! It's not easy and I fail sometimes but that's a tremendously admirable step for everyone.

Is this finally the start of the Greater Depression?

If this is true (probably not)... yeah, never mind, this isn't true. No way.

I feel like it's more about making a statement to encourage other resistors being pressured. Hopefully.

So, what else is new?

the houses of parliament are exempt from the requirement.

Of course, the jerks...

Joke's on Google; I've avoided Chrome for quite a while now.

Hmm, do we know which countries will be exempt? I hadn't thought about that...

Also, how will they enforce who can just ignore the requirement? Will they not take noncompliant websites down by nameservers or something?

I await the week of dreadful news when they start using their immense wealth to take down instances via DDoS attacks, one by one...

And don't ask us how often that happens.

If only the cops were trustworthy...

It’s your obligation as a sexual human being to recognize it clarify intent and not just drop hints and hope the other person catches on

Right? Forcing them to keep Android open would be far more effective than this fine.

The incredible, sci-fi point-&-click adventure game Technobabylon is about people who chose to install such "wetware" into their brains and people, like the protagonist, who refused it. It's good stuff.

Wow, I haven't read that sentence in a long time...

Interesting. I've actually never heard of them automatically logging out. That's partly why I am hesitant to log in in the first place.

That Lord of the Rings quote had massive implications of Orc society:

1. Orcs could be (and were) vegetarian
2. Orcs have menus, a.k.a. restaurants and civilization
3. There could be boy orcs instead of ones formed as adults (though to be fair, the movie showed only an Uruk-Hai "formed," from what I can remember)

When you can bomb people and they can't defend themselves how the fuck is that ceasefire?

I didn't know it was this bad. I guess it's back to Motorola for me for the next devices. How do we know their workers won't wanna strike either, though? Who is safe to trust? (So glad they'll at least also support GrapheneOS, last I read, though that's off-topic.)
