California governor signs law banning all plastic shopping bags at grocery stores.
  • I just wish they would ban the plastic bags and force paper bags. The thick plastic bag problem came from not mandating paper only. Plus a lot of those polyester bags were so poorly made, they didn't last long enough to male a difference.

    Maybe it's just me wanting to go back to the stores of my youth when plastic was a rarity.

  • That explains it.
  • Young adult women who post thirst traps are looking to be looked at. Especially if they aren't on a private profile.

    It's normal for men of all ages to look at women who consent with open permissions.

  • Mozilla is a sinking ship.
  • Google paying Mozilla for search placement is the same as Google paying Samsung and Apple for search priority on their phones.

    It doesn't mean that Google is backing Mozilla, Apple, and Samsung.

    Mozilla has to take a much smaller cut compared to Apple because of their size, nothing else.

  • One big happy family.
  • I hear you. I was looking more for Arch with less of a hassle. Something similar to my Steamdeck. I guess I should just wipe this weekend for something else. I really want something for playing my steam and GOG games that works with my Nvidia 3080.

    Luckily for me I keep every game installed on different Steam Libraries so wiping my install drive to put something else in isn't difficult.

  • Organized Left
  • I'm more anarchistic in personal beliefs but am willing to embrace social democrats to get some benefit.

    The idea of the greatest social good for the largest group is more important than trusting everyone to follow the correct policies when given power. I also personally think that state power is incompatible with anarchist beliefs.

  • Who Stops a "Bad Guy With a Gun"?
  • Gun rights aren't for stopping active mass shooting events. Gun rights are to protect yourself and you small circle of family because the police are always too far away.

    Active shootings are bad for regular people to try to stop because usually those people who do, end up being killed by the policemen they finally show up. A regular guy with a gun can never be expected to rush into a school to confront a shooter.

    A regular armed citizen will be charged with a crime if they stop a school shooter or any other spree shooter in a gun free zone.

    This data is disingenuous because they are plotting a unicorn event with a normal event to prove that Unicorns aren't helpful. The question doesn't make sense.

  • YSK: some common medications can make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke
  • Yea same here. I have to sit in front of my AC and bringing in the groceries makes me overheat so much I have to use cold water and the AC to stop it.

    I grew up in deserts like the Mojave and used to be able to work in 115 degrees. Now I can't surpass 75 degrees.

  • Kotaku being Kotaku
  • It really bugs me how every scandal co-ops the -gate from the Watergate scandal to try to give it more legitimacy.

    The Hotel was the Watergate Hotel. There is no gate in Kotaku or Gamer. Just another fundamental ignorance of reality the media has come to.

  • OpenAI Pleads That It Can’t Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free
  • Sorry to break it to you, but bypassing sections is a crime. You just proved his point. Sanctions are supposed to make life difficult for the people in sanctioned countries so that those people maybe start doing something to the person causing the problems.

    It may be useful, but it was designed to facilitate criminal payments.

  • Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all
  • I'm glad I just setup Linux two weekends ago. It was simple to install all of my hardware worked well. I only miss a couple of minor features like the LED software and my overclocking software.

    And those really aren't that big of a deal since I haven't had a failure to play a game so far.

    It was at least 20 years since I tried Linux, and the changes are wild. I didn't even choose a simple distro and haven't even had too difficult of a time.

  • Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH
  • I just installed Manjaro over my windows 10 drive and the effort so far has been way easier than I thought.

    KDE Plasma reminds me a lot of WIn 10, and nearly everything I did on my windows system works under Linux without hassle. The only issue I had were certain technical things like overlooking my GPU and setting up my LED lights.

  • April in Washington DC

    Finally I have something to post.

    I tried to capture both ducks upside down eating. Found this funny.
