I better question in terms of the teeth of the laws is, are there any real consequences to an operating system provider just ignoring them and not providing any kind of age verification in their software whatsoever?

The question I assume will get answered soon enough by GrapheneOS since they have told everyone asking for OS age verification to go pound sand.

Didn't they shitcan the age verification thing in systemd and they fire the guy who put it in? Or was that just a joke post?

The food replicators converted energy directly into food the same way transporters convert a person from matter into energy and then back again. What he was describing was a completely different type of process likely mechanical and chemical in nature.

Note he did not say one of the things they turned waste into was food.

It is past tense. They are currently owned by Lenovo, which is a Chinese company.

In 2012, Google acquired Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, with the intention of using the company’s patents to bolster its Android operating system. However, Google’s ownership of Motorola Mobility was short-lived. In 2014, the search giant sold the company to Lenovo for $2.91 billion.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is likely sarcasm and not someone who seriously feels this way.

There is a galaxy of difference between a kid who thinks they can get away with being a brat with no consequences and a kid who has the level of emotional problems that can lead to self harm. Not to mention the difference between a parent who is just teaching their kid that there are consequences to their actions vs a parent who simply doesn't care about whether or not they are harming their kid with excessive punitive actions.

That's an entirely different situation though. Picky eater is more of a clinical issue. And brute forcing such things never works. Kid being an asshole however, well that, that we can fix reverse assholianism.

That's just the Uma Thurman effect

There's a movie you should check out. Little Big Man, a fictionalized account of real events in America's history of taking any and every parcel of land that Native Americans have had the misfortune of living on.

Can I just say that I am absolutely loving this era of Adam's artistic career.

I dropped them for DDG over a year ago. Never have had a cause to regret.
