You are correct, it’s the plastic. Or rather, the fire retardant mixed into the plastic.

Just as a quite warning- retrobright will make the plastic of the dreamcast white, but it will also make it more brittle, and it’s not a permanent solution. It WILL yellow again, and repeated applications of retrobright will make it more and more brittle.

Lets not set the precedent that you should ever get in a car of someone claiming to be an ICE agent.

Once again, the headline gets twisted to the republican narrative,

Anti-corruption. It’s an anti-corruption group. The GOP lawmakers are corrupt.

I know a guy in college whose dorm ended up with a wifi naming theme. Someone (highly suspected to be the passive aggressive super religious fundie on the floor above) changed their wifi name to “Stop, we can all hear you having sex”

So naturally, someone changed theirs to ‘I can hear you NOT having sex’

at that point it was on lol.

What stats prove ‘success’? That racist immigration policies reduce immigration? That’s not a success, that’s isolation and stagnation.

Intends to? He already has.

Not sure why you’re all through this thread trying to defend google, but the entire point of why google is doing this is to close both sides of app installation- AOSP support is getting deprioritized/dropped, meaning there won’t BE downstream OSes, and then they’re trying to lock development behind Google’s approval, blocking non-gapps stores from being able to be installed on Google’s OS.

Time can go fuck itself for this bullshit headline. “Democrats leave White House with no deal”?

How about “Republicans refuse Democrat deal, setting stage for Republican Government shutdown”

Or maybe something like “Republicans Refuse To Give Americans Benefits and Medical they Pay For, Govenment Shutdown Imminent”

It was illegal, then Reagan changed that.

Did you not read what they were saying? They don’t want to, they would HAVE to.

They actually walked that back using blu-rays as an excuse. If there’s any sort of DRM/encryption/etc, you’re completely unallowed to circumvent it, even for personal backup.

If you scroll down a bit, I actually already answered that question in this exact threat, one reply down.

Looks like I mixed up two different cases- the cause of one, and the duration of another.

weev (who apparently is a giant asshole) was the one who got sent to jail for accessing a completely public URL AT&T wished he didn’t in 2010. The EFF took up his case. His sentence was later vacated by another court because so many civil rights lawyers kept joining his team pro-bono so the court tossed it out on a blatant technicality to get the issue to go away, so he only served ~2y.

As for the CFAA being used to slap people with life sentences, there’s too many examples to know which one I was mixing it up with. Aaron Swartz is the classic example.

Theoretically, yes. Realistically, judges historically believe anything prosecutors tell them about hacking and circumvention.

There’s been people thrown in jail for the rest of their life for the crime of clicking a public URL that the company didn’t intend to be public.

The encryption circumvention is irrelevant.

Oh you sweet summer child, judges will bend over backwards to slap people with multi-decade-to-life charges for ‘hacking,’ even if the ‘hacking’ is just the rightsholder accidentally presenting data to you.

You realize you literally just linked a page that verifies everything I said wrong with the Danish system, right? And I didn’t call Danish left wing parties far right, I called the immigration policy far-right.

Take your sealioning elsewhere.

Just so everyone knows what ‘reasonable’ immigration policies Denmark has that this guy is touting, they’re all hardline far-right immigration policies.

Highlights include stealing all valuables from asylum seekers and leaving them with literally fucking nothing to ‘justify paying for their stay,’ rejecting asylum applicants if their specific area of their country is not actively under attack (because wars NEVER spread to involve other sections of the same country), any municipality with too high of a population of migrants is deemed a ghetto and demolished, the government attempted to house all immigrants on an isolated island whose only other purpose was a centre for contagious animals (I wish I was making this up), etc etc. The UN officially considers Danish immigration policies to be ‘incompatible’ with human rights, and to disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities.

Denmark doesn’t have far right parties gaining power on the back of immigration rhetoric because they’ve already achieved it.

This is just racism, and don’t let anyone concern troll you into thinking otherwise.

That’s a whole lot of words to try and justify racism.

annoyances always happened (like, i’d say to a friend i’d meet them at 3pm, and it’s a 10 minute drive, and we start driving at 2:40pm, and then my mother remembers she has to go grocery shopping first, which takes 45 minutes, and she does that before dropping me off at my friend’s place, stuff like that). It was frustrating.

Yeah, that’s just absolute bullshit. What the fuck.
