The exact phrasing varies, but in most states, the details of the law are the same: Any “commercial entity” that publishes “material harmful to minors” online can be held liable—meaning, tens of thousands of dollars in fines and/or private lawsuits—if it doesn’t “perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material.”

Sure seems like that would cover a lot of websites, including most news sites.

I’m going to go with you being crazy. Although based on your mention of “deja vu” and the number “4”, I did see djview4. I don’t think that’s what you wanted though.

I like command line stuff, so I use newsboat for the reader, and then yt-boat to download. yt-boat uses yt-dlp as it’s backend, but I’ve never had a problem with yt-dlp not downloading or asking for credentials though.

Config an RSS reader for the channels you follow on youtube. Watch the videos locally after downloading them. That’s what I do.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a PC. I just incrementally upgrade over the years. I would be disappointed if they came out with a PC that only ran with their flavor though.

That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

M-Disc?

I’m no expert, but I think KeePassXC doesn’t need to sign in to a server somewhere.

koreader is my goto reader, on my tablet and phone. The interface is a bit unintuitive, but once you get it set up to your liking, it’s a great reader.

Isn’t that a Dodge?

I just have some syncthing shared folders with friends/family. It may be a little weird to set up, but once there, it’s seamless.

My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.

I recently read Kernighan’s UNIX: A History and Memoir. It was pretty interesting. Also, Bell Labs still hosts a page with a lot of links/info for Richie at: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/

There’s this: https://github.com/lextrack/Simple-Screen-Recorder

Disclaimer: I haven’t touched Windows in at least a decade.

We already have the 14th amendment, but Republicans don’t seem to like The Constitution.

I tried FreeBSD for several months about 15-20 years ago. I really liked how clean the filesystem and environment felt, and have suggested it for many people over the years. In the end I couldn’t get around their license vs GPL.

Everyone in my family, from my elderly parents to my kid have switched to buckwheat over the past decade or so. Every single one of them loves it. That’s just anecdotal, but for me it was completely worth it.

Most people underestimate the link between having children and climate change.

As Kris Kristofferson wrote, and Janis Joplin sang,“Freedom’s just another word, for nothing left to lose.”

I edited my config, and it changed the font size next time I opened kitty. I’m not sure what is happening to you, other than maybe having the config file not where it’s expected.
