The woman didn’t sign a EULA with the vendor.

I would say your three reqs are met.

Sue the software company for defamation.

I was guilty of that very thing once. During my first programming class back in college, I wrote an Asteroids clone as a project. My professor kept sending it back telling me to fix it. I really racked my brain trying to figure out what he was sending back to me (he wouldn’t tell me, I was supposed to find and correct the error). The game ran just fine. Finally a gave up and asked him to tell me the answer of what my code was doing wrong. He showed me that I had one line of code that was basically making a new instance of the entire game for every screen refresh. (I wrote it in Java, so Java was just correcting it for me in real time.)

It’s funny to me to see people mythologize how perfect video games were before they could be remotely updated.

Sure, game developers rely on fix-it-later updates much more than they should today, but games had bugs back then too.

That… Is some fucked up shit.

They were so… Innocent.

Like, everyone trusted everyone. Like, sure perfect stranger online, I don’t mind telling you my real name, home address, and age. What’s the harm?

I jump between social networks every few years. My social network path has gone from AOL chat groups, to Yahoo News groups, to Facebook for a few years, to Twitter, to Mastodon, to Reddit.

Last week I decided to test Lemmy out. Best thing I can say about it is that it’s not any worse than all the others. Which is a pretty good compliment really, considering the resources and network advantages that all the others have.

I guess my question is more about what constitutes a “truck suv”. There is no way that SUV built on a truck frame out number SUVs built on car unibody frames by that much.

How are they breaking out car SUVs vs truck SUVs?

Sorry, I thought that question would be functionally rhetorical in this group.

Smartphones. The answer is smartphones.

What happened around 2010 that made driving so much more dangerous?

You can’t disregard depreciation. That’s real cost, and regardless how well you take care of your car is not literally going to run forever.

But regardless, you are forgetting to consider maintenance and a lot of other things. And if you are in one accident, especially one where you are at fault, you will find that your cost will rise considerably.

$1000 a month for a car is a pretty low estimate for most people. And even if we accept that estimate, it’s $1000 per month, per car. Most suburban families are going to need more than one.
