Decentralized social network Mastodon says it can’t comply with Mississippi’s age verification law — the same law that saw rival Bluesky pull out of the state — because it doesn’t have the means to do so.

The social non-profit explains that Mastodon doesn’t track its users, which makes it difficult to enforce such legislation. Nor does it want to use IP address-based blocks, as those would unfairly impact people who were traveling, it says.

You can play multiplayer games with LAN support together for free using a program like Hamachi.

Use a free VPN (https://riseup.net/en/vpn) to download the game for free. I usually go for fitgirl repacks if they're available. Then you and your buddies can connect to the same 'server' using Hamachi and play together.

I recommend doing this with the new Halo collection and Baldur's Gate 3 so you can see it's possible, even with new and advanced games.

Brains > wallets, don't be a corporate simp.
