If you’re European but residing in America long term, using American companies from on American soil are you still subject to European GDPR protections? I don’t actually know, I could understand an argument being made either way I think. I guess if you’re an active European citizen you got me there, but I don’t think many of those are here in America buying new cars are they?

Also, I needed an ID and credit card to buy a car… The dealer definitely knew who I was. I don’t know if you can just buy those cash anymore.

I could also just be wrong on all counts, but I think a car dealership has many ways to ensure whether or not you are subject to GDPR protections. Faking it probably isn’t going to get you very far.

Exactly, they aren’t standing around there just to look pretty, these boys need to get paid. Walk up and sell them a job.

They know you’re not a European. You bought and drive the car in America and presumably park it in America at night. It’s not like they don’t know where it goes.

I have seen more people out and about today at the banks, the fast food places, the grocery stores, than I’ve seen in months. I fix cars for a living and I’ve had more customers today than I’ve had any day in the last three weeks.

Makes me livid

He’ll never ever do it because this increases accountability. He’s allergic to that.

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

They are still doing that.

mbin is a fork of the (now abandoned?) kbin which integrates with Lemmy.

It’s pretty much the same as any other Lemmy client unless they added something I don’t know about, basically just a front end for the Fediverse.

I have no idea how they pull this off though, because Rise looks damn near about as good as World does IMO, with faster and crazier gameplay, and runs at 80 higher FPS. Either their “fancy PC game” team is trash or their mobile team is legendary, because I don’t see how a minor change of art style and small drop in the number of individual grasses per map made such a huge change.

Now, Wilds does look a little crazy and I can understand how exactly the Deck might struggle on that one. But the playability difference between World and Rise without losing much graphical fidelity genuinely blew my mind. World limps along at 14 FPS on the Deck and Rise plays smooth as butter on the Switch as well as the Deck.

Smart people aren’t talking about it.

I mean you say that but he’s been wearing him on his shoulders like body armor since the day after. He’s definitely a shield.

Ok so you want a cyberdeck
