I can’t be the only one who recognizes that making people in foreign countries, like say, Austria in Europe, have to file this is in King County Courts in Seattle seems a little fucking dubious. I say this as a Washington State resident. Because it’s super easy for me to commute to Seattle to sue Valve… but it’s not for everyone else.

I don’t know what, if any, options King County Court offers for people from other countries filing suit to be able to do it remotely. I get the distinct feeling this is a “fuck you, show up on our turf or fuck off.”

Looks like District Court might have remote-access options, but I’m not sure if you’ll still have to retain a local lawyer. It says any state or federal courts, but I’m not sure if District court counts more as a city-level court than state-level.

It seems like its actually a giant fuck you to anyone who doesn’t live in King County, Washington State, USA.

Everything has to be done in King County Courts in Washington State.

That’s some big travel costs for people all over the world.

Tryna steal the job from storks

“Thank you.”

Thanks, John Oliver, but I really wish we didn’t have to turn to comedians to publicize such serious issues.

I can never marry my partner without her losing all the benefits she needs to function. I worry about us getting separated in old age because we’re not legally married, like being sent to different homes, or her ending up in a home and me ending up on the street. Ugh.

Also, changing that was one of Biden’s campaign promises that everyone forgot about apparently. It seems mostly wiped from the internet, too, except for a few references from news articles around the time.

Thanks for the heads up, I thought it was just me and gave up.

I like to think that Balatro is so popular it crashed the payment system, heh.

And another one bites the dust

but am I just a buzz kill

Nah, I’m a longtime fan of absurd shit like Tim and Eric that is rooted heavily in a public television vibe of “doing things wrong and cheaply.”

I was never sure if this was trying for a similar vibe or what, but I’m definitely one of the people who firmly never understood it.

Last I checked so is Weird Al Yankovic.

It’s a pity they’re so rare, but they really are.

Don’t have a cow, man.

Apology accepted and appreciated. Misunderstandings can happen easily online. Have a good one.

Jesus christ I’m pro-assisted suicide, it was just a cheeky fucking joke.

Exactly. I don’t personally have kids so I also feel especially out of line telling someone else how to raise theirs. Parenting isn’t easy, and there’s tough questions like “How do I get my child to learn good habits around screen time so they don’t end up addicted to devices built for addiction?” Honestly, I personally don’t know a better way other than loosely (not strictly) limiting screen time enough so that they naturally learn good habits over time, and that unfortunately means you need to monitor screen time. As an adult I noticed a lot of my good habits were things my parents instilled in me in my youth that I hadn’t really thought about, like drinking a lot of water, for one. They didn’t prevent me from drinking soda at all, but they limited my intake at home and made sure when I was home I was drinking lots of water and not just juice or soda, they didn’t try to control me outside of the house when I was making my own decisions… and now I drink water a lot because it just feels normal. It’s a habit they got me into, and because it became a habit I’m left with a good habit in my adulthood. I don’t see how it would be any different in getting a kid to respect screen time as an adult.

God… I wish my parents had done more to monitor my screen time because I’m bad at this shit.

In the foreground, Antman contemplates what he will- nay, what he must do.

According to the group that promotes its use, Exit International, this triggers first mild disorientation and euphoria, then unconsciousness, and in a few minutes death by asphyxiation.

“We know this because we’ve tested it thoroughly and have wonderful exit interviews with the test subjects, who assured us of its euphoric effects via ouija board.”

I appreciate it, but genuinely, the best thing about Lemmy is being in control of how you view your own feed, and so (especially considering I’m fucking red-green colorblind) it really is my responsibility to make it readable for myself. Thanks for being a good fellow, regardless.

I need to change my default colors then, because it was way too easy to miss that first link. That’s on me.

The goal of ActivityWatch is simple: Enable the collection of as much valuable lifedata as possible without compromising user privacy.

We’ve worked towards this goal by creating an application for safe storage of the data on the user’s local machine and as well as a set of watchers which record data such as:

Currently active application and the title of its window Currently active browser tab and its title and URL Keyboard and mouse activity, to detect if you are AFK (“away from keyboard”) or not

It is up to you as user to collect as much as you want, or as little as you want (and we hope some of you will help write watchers so we can collect more).

Well, they linked to the releases page instead of the main page for the project, for one.
