I could be playing #enshrouded right now, but I’m sitting in a meeting falling asleep instead.
This is a game that brings me joy. Not a lot of that currently.
I've read the (early) text of HR 8250, the "Parents Decide Act." It is nearly structurally identical to California's law. Actually, it is less rigorous, as the legal obligation is entirely on OS creators, not app developers.
Again, now is the time to contact reps to oppose this legislation. The term definitions are wacky and unworkable, for one thing. But also, it just is silly and unenforceable in general. Watch for amendments, but don't accept this as a done deal.

Rice and lentils. Fiber and protein. Basics to settle my guts. Lots of fluids. My health is collapsing, and corrective actions aren’t helping.
Not staring down fatal, just a decrease in standard quality of life. Rapidly.
Choices and habits from 40 years ago are crippling me today. How did we ever get this far as a species?
Reminder that we have a list of TLDs that we have seen good results in blocking. Obviously you need to evaluate for your environment, but you can cut out a lot of malicious content and noise at the TLD level without having to worry about keeping up with all the apex domains.

Google and Microsoft - the global email service duopoly - block other services in the name of "fighting spam".
I get it. Spam is a perpetual arms race. But the opaqueness of Google and Microsoft's practices and decades-long predatory self-dealing mean no one trusts them to apply even their own rules.
Email still works interoperably. Just about. Getting off US duopolies and monopolies is vital for the future of the internet. So in that way, digital sovereignty is vital to save the internet.
