The biggest problem with communism is not the socialism, it is the totalitarism that is required for it to function. And that's the part that kills people.

Now that Russia and China aren't even communist, it clearly shows what they are truly after.

LOL I see now. Thanks. Looks like my issue is not caring about both franchises.

I don't get it (maybe because of the potato quality)

So in my case, something broke with intune. I was told to use office.com for time being.

While that works, when I tried to call it told me that I should use chrome or edge.

This goes with other changes they did to chromium. Google claims it is to prevent bots, but it really is a crackdown on ads blocking and any other "tampering" with their websites.

If you care about keeping web free, you should stop using chrome and its derivatives and switch to Firefox. They are believing that Firefox user base is low and websites can simply exclude FF and force it to implement it as well.

Exactly, nothing changed about them.

This week I learned that online version Microsoft Teams outright refuses to make calls of it runs on Firefox. They are doing the same exact shit they did two decades ago.

Lemmmygrad supposedly is for people who support communism, but when talking to them, they really are supporting totalitarian countries which have nothing to do with communism.

To be fair, how can you be in legal troubles if your best buddy is deciding if you get charged or not?

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath, it is possible that he could stil avoid jail, but at least now there's a real chance he could end up in one.

Sorry I didn't really pay attention to the numbers, but willing to believe CA would have it higher than NY just purely, because of the weather. Yeah, it is ridiculous.

The point is that he explicitly makes this hard. That's why he is a twat. The issue is that some applications (especially graphical) do get heavily integrated with it which makes it also hard to port them.

The labels are there to encourage businesses to seek different formulations, as product with labels will sell worse than one without.

The enforcement is done via civil suit so placing label that makes it hard for ordinary person to reasonably avoid exposure won't fly in court with jurors being those same people.

Ok so you made me check. None of ceramic cups I have in my cupboard has this warning.

I see it is still listed: https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/chemicals/ceramic-fibers-airborne-particles-respirable-size

So either these companies are violation of the law or (more likely) their product to comply.

Also keep in mind that prop 65's name is: The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986

One of the main goals is to protect our water from pollution, which even if the cups aren't carcinogenic when aren't broken the use of the chemical to produce it will likely end up in water due to production process. Also the chemical will be exposed to the environment once the cup is tossed away (especially after it breaks)
