  • Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed

  • The police chief in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, says he doesn’t want to enforce a new state law that prohibits drivers from parking in bike lanes

    Jump

  • Russo wrote that the issue is not unique to Cottonwood Heights, and they're trying to better understand its intent.

    The intent is for the bike lane to be clear of obstructions, dumbass.

  • Yup!

    My workarounds are:

    Keep things to a small enough number that I don't lose something in the mess. That generally means single digit numbers of things near each other. Exceptions apply for things I am really, really interested in!

    The best way to remember something is to put it between me and where I'm going, but only if it is the ONLY thing. So I can put something on the steps to the garage to remind myself to take it, but if my wife puts something there the system fails. I can put an object in front of a door, or on top of something I need, but it has to be interacted with in some way.

    If I start to do something that involves going through a doorway or a place out of sight there is no stopping for interruptions. After a decade of consistency on part my wife finally waits for me to finish doing something when I say "not yet" as that is pretty much all I can get out without losing track of the things I'm doing that I don't care about but needs to be done.

    Knowing what I will forget and acknowledging it out loud has been partially successful with people's understanding. No, adding something extra won't help me remember names, it is just going to take enough repetition for it to stick and I'll still say it wrong occasionally. Doesn't mean I don't care!

  • If a large number of refunds came from a single source it seems like Steam would be the one addressing the issue, not payment processors.

  • No, they should have zero say because they have weaseled themselves into a position that is the equivalent of a utility or whatever ISP are classified as. Their only involvement is whether they complete transactions between parties in a legal way.

  • That's because the person wants the horrible things to happen and is just mad that Trump isn't following through on the horrible stuff they care about.

  • I have ADHD and my daughter also has ADHD and it does seem like she isn't trying even when she is! What I am trying to do is teach her ways to work around it when possible and how to phrase things to make it more apparent that effort was attempted.

  • Why does stuff move in a parabola on earth but in an ellipse in space?

    Jump

  • Geometry!

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    They are similar and related but not quite the same thing. It does come down to whether it is orbiting or returning to a 'flat' plane, and while an eclipse isn't quite the same thing as two parabolas put together, that isn't too far off.

  • Now Microsoft’s Copilot Vision AI can scan everything on your screen

  • I assume anything related to AI data collection is collecting the data anyway and the 'choices' are just whether or not you see and interact with it.

    But yes, if you have to click something to see it then it is technically opt in from a user interface standpoint.

  • There are far more answers than I remember seeing yesterday when I voted. Does it add extra options each time someone puts a reason into 'Other'?

  • I am looking forward to Trump's death because nobody else seems to have whatever evil charisma he has that apparently works on half the populace to keep the infighting of US conservatives from imploding the party. All of the terrible stuff going on has been in the works for decades by far more capable people, but they needed a figurehead to unite the party and cut out any dissidents and there isn't anyone waiting in the wings to take his place.

    Unfortunately he is wealthy enough that even his dementia will be held in check for far longer than he deserves and the media will continue to sanewash him so it will drag out for at least a decade more of his influence than would happen with almost anyone else.

    The scary part is he will be around long enough for the other people who couldn't do all of this on their own to accomplish their goals to tear down the whole government. At a minimum they get the rest of this term with Vance as the wet noodle filling the void but accomplishing nothing on his own, but more realistically they go completely face off on direct election manipulation and the population is too overworked, stressed out, and fighting amongst themselves to fight it.

  • Stuff payment processors don't like is a vague rule.

  • I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

  • It was always obvious that the shared delivery model would result in massive delivery fees. Store employees doing deliveries were always at least partially subsidized by sales. Going third party means another company needs to suck more profit out of each delivery.

  • Holy money, getting ADHD meds is already enough of a hassle without the additional steps you have.

    Not being able to see something right there is so damn frustrating. Meds helped me a lot, but they don't work 24 hours a day.

    It doesn't fix anything, but your frustrations are valid and you are definitely not alone. When anyone tells you to overcome these things through sheer will remind yourself that the last 'D' is for disorder and they obviously don't get it. They don't know how much we are already kicking ourselves for things out of our control and we are trying as hard as we can.

  • Republicans used the excuse that it was too close to the election, then when the next spot opened up they rushed through their own pick even closer to that election.

    Cheating hypocrites.
