Ehh, I'd say he was more boringly safe, especially for a lot of his in-country policy stuff.

And that's a good thing. The presidency is not meant to be glorious, exciting, or full of media magnet bombshells. Those generally mean that something has gone wrong.

I am so using this on my boyfriend tomorrow. I just need to put glasses on my avatar first.

The sponsor segments in GrayStillPlays' videos are the only ones I remember, mostly because he ran the sponsor merch over with a lawnmower.

According to the article, Twitter is also charging $42,000 minimum for enterprise access. That's over $500k per year. If I was a Nintendo employee, I would not only cut that expense, but also use it as leverage for a massive end of year bonus.

I doubt that for two reasons:

  • There's no non-admin way for an app to discern if it's a firewall block, or a legitimate no-internet situation (i.e. didn't purchase in-flight WiFi). It would also look really bad PR-wise if a company banned customers just because their internet went down or was otherwise spotty.

  • How would they even know? Their software can't tattle on me if it's been blocked from establishing a connection.

Thankfully I don't do anything that requires me to have Photoshop, but if I did, I'd be explicitly blocking all outbound connections in the firewall.

I said the same thing on my old kbin account, but I still believe strawberrum should be real, and should be 20% ABV minimum.
