Part of the mystery is that the mummy of Tutankhamun showed a wound on his cheek that corresponded to the wound that killed Lord Carnarvon...

Turns out that in school you make a whole deal about "being friends", but it really is as simple as being friendly with someone.

I overcorrected after having very few friends in school and now anyone who smiles at me is my friend and can be invited out for dinner or drinks. Everyone is happy to be invited at least, but I notice it's only the people who aren't expected home by their children will accept my invitations. They can still be friends, but it's a little difficult to build a friendship.

(I say overcorrected, but it's more that I have to take on a naive belief just to cancel out my autism a little.)

There's some good discussion in the issue raised on the repo. The developer says that Play Integrity was provided as an example of how to verify client integrity, but that it wasn't a hard requirement and updated the readme to reflect that.

What an absolutely terrible article. I read the whole thing and I'm still unclear on what the check is and what it actually applies to and I'm pretty sure the author+GPT is too.

The reddit post (that our author mangled to churn out an article) is pretty clear about it: the age verification app will perform a Play Integrity check to ensure it is an official build on a "supported" OS (whatever that means, my crDroid passes Play Integrity). This doesn't mean anything for any other apps running on that same system, it only applies to the AV app. It does mean something for the OS, because passing Play Integrity needs some Google services running at root level.

That all assumes you even want or need to run that app in the first place. It's just a reference app for now, open for member states to adopt into a potential digital AV system. If your country doesn't have any concrete plans for AV for porn/booze/memes yet, but might in the future, then getting involved in local politics will do a lot more than getting worked up about a github repo.

Why is bread bad for duck, but cooked rice good? Isn't that basically the same thing? Bread is wheat, water, bit of salt. Cooked rice is rice, water, bit of salt. Or can't ducks handle gluten?

I had a similar experience. Bought it thinking it would be easy to unlock, then realized I needed to wait a month before I could even attempt it. Reallly wanted to send it back within the 2 week return policy, but I also wanted to see if I could do it, so I waited. Then finally the month was up and I got nothing but unexplained error messages. I wanted to chuck it off a high building and never see it again, I was so frustrated. The main problem is that there isn't an official guide, so I was relying on forum posts with voodoo logic, stuff like "I requested the unlock three times at midnight and then it appeared" and "don't try to unlock it before requesting the permission or the month resets". Eventually I got it, but don't ask me how I did it (random luck) and I don't want to do it ever again. Fuck you, Xiaomi (but thanks for the cheap hardware which is now running crDroid :3)

No, it's relevant actually. I called them protestant, but the OG Lutherans aren't a branch of Catholicism, so why would Pentecostals be a branch of protestantism? Yeah, they're still anti-pope, but they also found enough problems with the established protestants to split off and start something else.

I don't know if there's a term for the wave of new denominations in the last century, if it's even a single wave at all. Revivalism? And is there a common theme in that wave that leads to cults? Or should we say that the cults are a wave in themselves, caused by some other shift in the zeitgeist? Because as much as I'd like to blame pentecostalism for cultish beliefs (and I think I could make that argument), it could also be a general secularization that strips communities to their cultish cores.

Cultish practices vary from church to church, but there's way more protestant cults than catholic ones.

And I mean proper cults, where they know how loony they seem, so they try to seem more normal to potential members. Then they love bomb newcomers, before inviting them to the special wednesday meetings where they promise supernatural powers if the newcomer is humiliated before the group and love bombed again when they're most vulnerable. Last step is making them cut ties with non-believers and ostracizing any apostates.

Catholic King making infallible decrees is harmless compared to that.

Worse, it was when Twitter banned Trump. This is just like when the Savage John asked to be exiled from the World State but the Controller forces him to engage in society to torture him.

And the reason it has to be safe is not just because of investors, but because they're giant companies structured for making big games. You can't use a full team of UI designers on a small indie game with a fast development cycle. You can't really split those resources up among 100 tiny projects either. So if you want to make use of your big company and your in-house engine and all that, you have to make a billion dollar game and it has to earn back that money and it can't take any risks.
