The son's name was Fred Finger, and he died unmarried in his 40's due to complications from AIDS.

The guy above was joking.

I don't know why you'd want to rent the game if you've already got the cracked copy, but I would be surprised if the save files were any different between the two platforms.

Maybe 30 years ago.

But in the last 20 years there has been a lot of of funding towards prevention and researching a cure.

An HIV vaccine has proven itself to be an extremely elusive target.

But with recent developments in biotechnology, it may not be much longer before we finally have get one.

And by they, you mean the right wind politicians in power.

The people who vote for them are constantly voting against their immediate interests.

If we had some sort of ranked choice, a lot of these one-issue voters might actually have a choice in their representation. Which would be good for all of us.

Twitter was already struggling with nearly unfettered access to every internet-connected user. (sans heavily censored countries)

If Musk cut off 25%-50% of users, the platform, which relies on eyeballs seeing advertisements, would certainly spiral into oblivion.

Lemmy.world got way too big too fast and the small team behind it can't handle it all.

Everyone should disperse to a random stable instance, or make their own, and it'll be better for the health of the network.

NHTSA estimates that approximately 96 percent of model year 2013 passenger cars and light-duty vehicles were already equipped with EDR capability. The significance of this measure is in the specifics of what data it requires such devices to collect and its guidelines for how the data should be accessed. - Black Box 101: Understanding Event Data Recorders

Event Data Recorder - Supported Vehicle List

I will debate part of what the previous poster said, in that EDRs are technically optional, as there doesn't seem to be any US law that requires them.

But automakers benefit from the data they provide, so I'd expect just about every new car contains one.

We know for a fact Tesla, for example, uses Video Event Data Recorders, and they have near total access to any footage recorded by the vehicle at any time. That's one big reason I'd never buy one.

All Google domains are transferring to SquareSpace, and you get 1 renewal at the old rate before SquareSpace can charge you whatever they want.

It's a little bit of both, but you're right. Google has had years to improve their algorithms.

But as an advertising company at heart, the more time people waste on those bullshit sites, the more Google profits.

There's definitely a need for regulation, but I'm not going to pretend I know where to begin.

I switched to Mullvad after PIA got bought by that spyware company.

They're great.
