It’s just Lemmy but more reddit. The people who left Reddit for Lemmy into PieFed just want to be the admins of their Reddit, and all it entails.

I can’t believe that the runner of MeanwhileOnGrad wants to make voat again. Weird.

But they said it was just once! Why would anyone lie about how much they dislike a community that exist?!

What’s right wing about db0?

Edit: right wing now means “not willing to put up with bad faith and ableism from so-called leftists”

I’m sure it was “just one”. For sure.

You’re right, banning people who venture into communities to start shit is a good analogy to police brutality.

Maybe tailor your feed.

Except for all the times the mod team has shown people making accounts to DM them when they get banned from it, sure no one does it.

People get really hated over images on the internet.

The mod log suggests people go there just for downvoting everything. I trust the mods of a community that is constantly harassed over the users who have literally made accounts to harass the mods and posters.

Maybe they should curate their feeds instead going into places they don’t like and mass downvoting everything?

Almost like the nominations were rigged and the media hated someone who would ruin the rich who own the media’s income.

I have edited the title from ID check to Age Verification check . It was not misleading on purpose, it was a mistake on my end from my day posting it was a bit wild.

~~I have edited the title to include “age verification checks” from “ID check”. ~~

you oppose the ban I have to assume because you don’t know where to get menthol cigs anymore. I live in Oakland and can still find Newports. I quite smoking them over 25 years ago but know more than one place that sells them.

I don’t smoke period so I don’t mind it. I found the reasoning banning it was stupid, because the boomer voting base didn’t understand the reason for the Prop being drawn up.

this thread is about age verification. not sure why you think tobacco bans are remotely close.

Talking about a dumb law being passed, so I talked about a dumb law being passed. I said that a state of Democrat voters and Democrat Assembly members doesn’t mean they always pass the best/logical bills. Better than if the state was ran by Republicans, but so is every state.

Oh I know, but I’m hoping that Google can’t find another law that enables it. They have money for good lawyers for these things.

Hopefully you’re right, and the law doesn’t allow for an expansion of this to include “just give google your id bro”.

Well, we as a state voted to ban flavored tobacco products when like 10 kids were getting popcorn lung from black market THC oil carts.

And selling tobacco to minors here is highly illegal, as it should be. So I never understood why we banned flavored tobacco, when the kids were getting issues from black market THC carts, which they also shouldn’t have been sold/using.

Not even getting into how the law didn’t stop flavored alcohol, we can still buy bubblegum flavored vodka here.

So even in the 2nd most Democrat leaning state, we still push for the dumbest laws. This was a state wide vote, not something the Senate/Assembly voted on.

Yeah it’s so good damn vague, you can say a simple checkbox of “I am above the age of majority” would suffice, or a full actual ID check whenever you make an account at Microsoft.

I think Linux distros will have to either make a check/declaration on their website or just block IP addresses from California.

I don’t know how far this will go, or if it means anything different by the start of 2026, when make laws here go into effect.

I apologize for this being posted about 2 weeks after the bill was signed, was going through my usual methods of checking news and new laws and found this.

Now terminals will read: “GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and contains code known by the State of California to cause cancer or other reproductive harm.” /j
